Sorry if it got lost in translation. Yes exactly how djrappa saw it. Alternate from week to week or month to month. The GP will book whichever one is running for that week. Enthusiasts will do both at some point in time.

Why not have two tours. The one that is currently on offer. A second tour could incorporate SE, WWF, the old western show stage and Looney Tunes ride warehouse area. Sounds like you guys were not rushed through the tour and was nicely paced so instead of trying to pack more into the tour and possibly ruin the experience by rushing through, create a second tour. Will encourage plenty to come back on another day to do what they didn't see.

Rollercoaster derailment in Scotland injuries sustained. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/world/a-dozen-hurt-as-rollercoaster-derails-at-a-scottish-theme-park/news-story/f19bbb706fb1070501b57941273d53af

This may have been answered many moons ago, but does anyone know where any of the rides from Australias Wonderland ended up. I heard that the Demon ended up in some Park in Asia somewhere. I assume a lot were just dismantled including Bush Beast and Beastie. What about the trains from those two rides, would they end up in the dump or some blokes back yard shed on a farm somewhere. One of my favourites was the Pirate ship (Bountys Revenge I think it might have been called), someone tell me that some of the rides were relocated rather than just left to rot in a dump somewhere.

With regards to MW, Superman was and is a fantastic addition to the park my favourite ride on the Gold Coast, however the other additions are less than what I would say good additions. . Obviously there was an upgrade to Lethal Weapon in becoming Arkham asylum to make it smoother but it has the same track layout so essentially the same ride. . Justice League that replaced Batman the Ride in my opinion is not better than what it replaced. . Green Lantern, well the verdict is still out on that ride with regards to the accident, but I found it to be a not very exciting slow coaster. . I have never felt the urge to visit movieworld just because they have introduced a new 4D film. I accept that they need to introduce a new film every so often but surely that doesn't eat into the bank balance too much. . The new stunt show is a load of garbage. . The Driving school may be experienced by adults but the only adults I saw riding it, were doing so with their small children and not by themselves. Plenty of adults went on LTRR but I accept that its condition did not warrant it to be kept in operation. With all that said MW is a half day park in its current state. . It is only your view that the proposed V8 experience will draw crowds in who attend the Gold Coast 600 and Ipswich 300. I dispute that that would sway people to come to Dreamworld based on that attraction alone. However neither of our views on this attraction are based on fact but merely opinion. . Like I said in an earlier post, the prices for entry into the parks are too cheap and that is holding back the parks from adding quality to their parks. Approx 1.3million visits are made to each of DW, SW,MW. 1million to WnW and approx. 700 thousand to WWW. So DW and WWW look at a combined 2million visits and MW,SW and WnW a combined 3.3million visits. I have no idea how many 3 park super passes are sold but if they increased the price of a pass by $30 (not a whole lot in the scheme of things), that would add a great lot of revenue to the bottom line and scope to further develop the park rather than replace existing rides. Does anyone know how may passes are sold each year compared to single entry tickets. Would 100,000 3 park super passes be out of the ball park to MW,SW,WnW. If that figure had any merit, putting it with my suggested increase of $30 per pass there is $3million.

Mad Max would be a great addition, but time and time again we see the theme parks let us down by introducing new attractions that are underwhelming. The forums here are great and gets everyone excited with the ideas that are thrown out there but the reality we are dished up with do not live up to the mark. MW - Gets rid of a family ride in Looney tunes ride and replaces with Driving school designed for young kids which cannot be enjoyed by the whole family. DW - If the Peter Brock car experience goes to DW and they expect it to draw in the crowd they are dreaming. . It appears that all of the GC parks at present are focusing on young childrens areas WW - Wet and Wild junior opening MW - Driving school SW - New kids ride area being built on existing site DW - ABC themed kids area That's all well and good and I have two young children which will be great for our family but I still would like to experience either a medium intensity family ride or high intensity thrill ride of quality too. . We will never get the $20mil plus rides until the theme parks decide to charge a bit more but in doing so they can really lift the quality of the rides that can draw the crowds in.

What a let down. I'd rather pay an extra $100 a year for a yearly pass and see that money spent on fair dinkum rides not an exhibit. But I suppose if you are going to charge peanuts for entry, your going to get this sort of new attraction. Disappointed

Richard, what's your take on Eureka getting off the ground again after considering the photographs depicting the condition of the ride as posted by AndrewH

Let's get over the fact of how these photos were obtained as we are just going around in circles and lets actually discuss the photographs and overall condition of the ride. I'm no expert in ride maintenance but sadly to me it appears that the ride would need a major overhaul to get it fit to open to the public. The mine carts look in terrible condition, the loading station floorboards look rotten. The internal part of the mountain looks to be falling apart, the outside of the mountain actually looks okay compared with the inside. I remember it as being a great ride as a kid but I too am wondering if we are all getting caught up in the nostalgia of it all and our own perceived memories of what the ride was actually like. I would love to see Dreamworld bring the ride back, but IMO I don't see them plunging a heap of money at a ride which appears to be nearly beyond repair. I do hope that a dark ride is brought to Dreamworld as the unknown of a dark ride always adds to the thrill but whether that means resurrecting Eureka, I strongly have my doubts.

I agree that these types of coasters are more within DW'S budget A total pipedream

Green Lantern was out of action for about 30mins this morning at about 10:15am when it got stuck just before the final inversions. Headed over to seaworld after lunch and Vikings revenge was shut down for about 45mins when the water flow basically stopped with boats being stuck on the uphill and just after the splashdown.

If we are talking about redeveloping the blue Lagoon area for a new rollercoaster would you include it as part of rocky hollow and theme it accordingly. Not sure what you could theme it too as presently the log ride and giant drop aren't really matched in theme IMO.
