run a cable to another spare space such as exhibition centre close by .
That cable would be at least 100m long and would be through park guests areas.
I get your logic you’re trying to use for this idea, but it’s not that simple or viable. It would need to be a whole new building somewhere else.

Where Kevil hill is . Not sure why and what point it serves
It’s used for walk through attractions during Winterfest and Happy Halloween. But I think your under estimating how much room a network needs to operate a show like big brother, and that building is nowhere near big enough

It’s winter holidays, it’s generally always closed at this time is it not?
The past few years it has reopened in time for the winter school holidays (closes between Easter and winter holidays)

Truthfully except for the busiest days you can get USS done in a day. Especially if you spring for Express.
I second this.
I’ve been to USS twice (Singapore three times in total), during first visit I got everything done in a day and on the second visit the park was so quiet we were done by mid-afternoon. There is so much to do in Singapore, so I’ve you’ve never been before just spend one day at USS and give that second day you were planning to something else. The zoos are amazing (there are now 5 within the one area of the country), so I would suggest allowing two days for that instead.

I know it is off-peak season, but running only one train on your duelling coaster despite the line going the whole through the barn, outside and the whole way back to the stairs outside indoor area with Dorothy’s house is ridiculous…
In @Ogre latest video they show that they are now testing the second train and it’s under ‘technical rehearsal’. No one was riding the second train at the time of their visit, but it was operating as a duelling coaster.

@omega237 in terms of area, surprisingly yes.
But in terms of a simple copy paste, definitely not. The widest part of SNW is 100m, while WoO is 68m at the narrowest and 88m at the widest.

I know it's just fun speculation, but no way they do this like 2 years after they fully refurbished it.
They refurbished the whole ride except for the gondolas, except for some repadding and paint… so there is a chance they’ll do something to the gondolas

Hold on tight, something massive is coming to Dreamworld" and then use a 🎢 emoji.
I wouldn’t read into the use of that emoji too much because if you look at all of their content, they regularly use it purely because they’re a theme park. They even use a Ferris wheel in one post, but that doesn’t mean they’re getting one.

if they've used a rollercoaster emoji to tease a big brother announcement i'm going to riot.
Or a marketing campaign for a ticket/pass sale

You don't need to zoom in to see it.
When I was there in person I paid absolutely no attention to that outlet being there. When I looked back at the photo, yes I noticed it, but it in no way impacted my time or experience at the park and I doubt 99% of the people visiting the park would notice or have any issue with seeing it. Yes it would be better if it was completely hidden, but it doesn’t really matter. Maybe we should just appreciate (which you can’t tell from a photo, but notice in person) that they went to the effort of hiding the speakers behind the mesh screens within the stage instead of having them on show.

Jaggs just posted on instagram a few hours ago about a GCB article about an expansion
This article is just in reference to the master planning and subdivision that’s being discussed in this forum

@ShakeShack I haven’t been looking at that map, I’ve been clicking on the Download PDF where there is an up to date map.
-
Since that photo was taken, the mural/sign on the stages backdrop has been removed. That tells me they aren’t happy or finished with it yet.

Pitty they haven't updated the actual Dreamworld map though.... still shows construction zones and dead end pathways.
No it doesn’t? The only construction zone it shows is for the train track, which is still under construction.

Poor old WWW, not even worth a map.
This has finally changed! On the park map change they’ve now added WWWs park map as a seperate link within the park map page: https://www.dreamworld.com.au/park-information/park-map/

They had a beautiful facade there, along main street, and they've destroyed it with modern glass sliding doors and now this. I understand the reason for it - the loss of the fountain to the flyer reduced their main street entertainment space and this is all-weather covered so it makes sense to put it here. I just wish they'd have resdesigned the entire facade to suit the new construction as it's jarring going from the double bay windows into flat blank hoarding.
To my understanding they’ve removed those doors as a part of the Emporiums refurb, so inside you wouldn’t even know it’s there. I think what they’ve done is made the best of a bad situation (that was caused by previous management when the Lego store was built).
I think it would’ve been nice to have aligned the stages backdrop with the facade above, but I’m sure there reasons for that decision. And while it would’ve been aesthetically even better if they rebuilt the original facade and didn’t have this stage, I can appreciate the need for it as the temporary one has been used multiple times every day and during the night markets for several years now. At least they’ve made an effort to build something permanent that matches the colour schemes and style of Main Street.

Dreamworld are continuing to invest in the parks longevity with improvements and refurbishments happening across the park.
All of Main Street is being refurbishment to a much more classic colour scheme. They have finally built a permanent stage after having that temporary one for several years. They will also soon be giving the roof a full refurb.
The Emporium, which I believe used to be labelled as two different stores depending if you entered from Main Street or Ocean Parade, is becoming just the one larger store. It’s getting a full refurb to suit the new Dreamworld aesthetic. Currently only the Ocean Parade side is complete, but it is utilising some of the former empty space between the emporium and Lego store.
The outdoor seating for Kenny’s Fried Chicken is being upgraded. The right side has been completed, so now it’s the left sides turn.
There hasn’t been any recent progress on the track installation for the Dreamworld Express. I asked about this and have been assured it will soon be completing the laps again, there have just been some delays.
The Fire Station has had a complete repaint.
And shading has been added over some of the pathways in Dreamland.

The gondolas arm has arrived and it’s scale is insane!

in that time Sea World has been through at least two generations of their kids land
Cartoon Network Cartoon Beach, Sesame Street Beach, Beach Break Bay and now Nickelodeon Land. It’s crazy it’s gone through that many in the same time that Kids WB has existed and hasn’t really changed. They did add the carousel and pounce n bounce (which didn’t last long).
But I 100% agree that this land needs some love. The lineup of attraction isn’t bad (a part from having double driving attractions), but the whole area just feels tired and could certainly benefit from a full refurb and addition of new rides.
Just take a look at Warner Bros. World in Abu Dhabi and their Cartoon Junction land. You could certainly take inspiration from this and transform the entire show building to be to this level. Also look at their ride lineup and the way they are themed for inspiration.
