Wow that’s not what I was expecting for this attraction, but I’m very impressed by those model views and drawings. Can’t wait to see how much this transforms the front of the park

@Slick yes they are

While Superman has been closed, over the fence you can see that some of the Arkham Asylum themed print has been removed

Got to experience this temporary video last week. For what it was, it was decent. It’s good they offer another video/experience for a limited time extra offering, but the experience could’ve definitely benefitted from some more orchestrated music. It seemed to still had the same audio as the VR experience. The music during the final whale scene was good and it should’ve been like that throughout.

Like this

The old Wipeout Kiosk has been removed This has allowed for more room for food trucks during the night markets. A DJ is performing in Kickback Cove. And Game Site is open too. Expanding the markets into Ocean Parade because they are getting very popular, so this provides more room for guests and trucks. But it will also allow them to test out using the area, when the area around the fountain becomes inaccessible when they start constructing the Dreamworld Flyer

The photo op outside Ricks has been removed

I should’ve explained a bit further the point I was trying to make. The park attraction count has significantly dropped since that map, but in terms of park area/footprint, it hasn’t.

@Gobbledok arguably, based on map area, only the log ride and big brother studio is missing, the other areas have been replaced by new attractions

The opening date of Serpent Slayer has been pushed back away to April 2. And the closing date of Escape Coaster has been pushed back to April 3, but the reopening date remains the same

That’s usually what happens with development applications. So many people object with such irreverent or ridiculous reasons that the majority just get overlooked because they’re stupid. A lot of the time, the people who actually write these complaints are either direct neighbours (who likely bought the home knowing the theme park was next door) or they have nothing better to do. The only comments I would acknowledge are the ones in regards to traffic, but as the report comments on this, it is very likely the planners and council won’t have any issues with this application.

@DaptoFunlandGuy Escape Coaster was supposed to close this week for refurb, but was pushed back two weeks

And then stage 3 will be the coaster, sea plans and probably finishing off the carousel. And probably around that same time they will build the splash pad

Escape Coaster was scheduled to close today, but it has been delayed to later this month

Other than the letters/lighting and the theming/signage for the queue and building, we probably wont see many other works happens. The extension of time is to prolong the lifespan of the attraction, so that could mean internal tower works are needed

@gumb00t based off what I could see when in the park, there hasn’t been any noticeable progress yet

QLD school holidays are April 1 to 16

Photos of the sign lights on posted by the manufacturer. You can also see the mould for Kenny in the background

The rides now scheduled to reopen June 24

Based on the wording on their website, all the vehicles will be new.

Or Vortex vs Wipeout? Or are the ‘rules’ the ride must still be operating

Just checked, it does state on the website the attraction is getting new vehicles
