Rode Leviathan for the second time ever today.
How the f do you build that level of themeing at Seaworld, then go and think this is fine for a movie based park?

Not sure when this happened, but it appears the three tiers of Dreamworld annual passes have increased in price. With the Saver Pass $129, Value Pass $139 and the Locals Pass $149
At least they're starting to present a product worth those prices. I feel we got cheap until now, because they knew they couldn't charge full price.
I'd be happy to fork out $149 once Jungle Rush & Rivertown have opened.

From memory, I called it that as soon as a private equity fund got a hold of the place, it'd go downhill while they chased profits.
Greg needs to stay at Dreamworld, his leadership is what the park needed. The public are starting to return.

Yeah that’s new, when it first opened the pre show if I’m remembering it right would play when the load process started. That’s one very long dispatch cycle then if they are waiting to play the pre show after the restraints are locked.
May have started during the lock check process, we were second last row, I was definitely seated and harness across.
I was watching the queue length and it was holding steady at about the same length. Throughput was definitely low, but it also was a Monday.

as of my most recent visit, Leviathan no longer waits until the preshow is done to dispatch, the preshow now just plays as the train is boarding, making the queue move a lot faster,
When I rode it today, pre-show started once harnesses were locked. Queues were slow, but only two loops of people around the central funnel thingy so not busy either.
First time ever riding it. The story/theme suits that ride perfectly, it's really well told. The 'cave paintings' in the circular queue set up what's coming. And f*ck that coaster is full on. Definitely how I'd imagine trying to ride a sea monster might be. I regret not buying a pass when it first opened now.
I hope both major parks exceed that level of story telling with their new rides this year.

Flash was never going to sell passes leading into Christmas, it's filler at best.
Wizard of Oz and Jungle Rush both will drive sales. Comments on the Movie World post already have people wanting merchandise.
Both also have the same company on theming construction, we'll get to see a very good comparison between the two parks designers and budgets.
With both precincts due around the same time, I think both sites will throw money at it if necessary, to be completed on time. They won't want down the road getting a leg up.

Good to see both parks building anticipation of their upcoming new lands. Looking to be a competitive summer season this year.
-
Good to see this openly being discussed, rather than the "there is no coaster (spoon)" like MW did for DC Rivals when Greg was there.

Step 3 is "profit", if I remember my cards against humanity correctly.
I'm sure Dapto will explain in essay length detail what step two is.

Step 1. Buy a clapped out Caribou

Should be able to manually add the barcoded number in the VRTP app and add your photo in after selecting that ticket on your profile.
No option for photo on the Android version. It just added the ticket, tapping the ticket then just loads the bar code full screen and brightness.
I'll allow extra time to do it at the gate.

I eventually managed to secure one after about two hours. Server crashed, and when it reconnected I got through.
Got the Locals Lite, is there anyway to add your photo etc in the app, or will I have to do it when I get to the park?

Back right corner of the non-spinning train is the best seat, in my opinion, on Steel Taipan.
Greatest forces on the spike, first corner, coming off the MCBR, heartline rolls.

If that’s the store I wouldn’t be wasting the wages to staff it….
With throughput so poor, people need to do something. Why not have them browse high profit margin surplus stocks.
That idea probably earnt someone at VRTP a raise.

Both water parks would have to get the water back within standards range as well. All that debris and rain water will have thrown the balance out.
-
Could be damage to specific electrical infrastructure at White Water World.
It could also draw from a different grid to Dreamworld.

Less floats being driven, less staff to pay.

Middle of the day session booked out already.
No way I'm getting up at 3.30am on my holidays to make that early session.

Beetlejuice 2 is due September 2024 too.
Michael Keaton back as Beetlejuice (I hope he's still waiting for his number to be called at the beginning)

I was considering buying passes as Christmas presents, but the prices were too high to get five. All recipients live an hour north of Brisbane too.
Loosing the events they'd probably not attend anyway, has this back on my radar. Visiting at the peak of peak also doesn't appeal either, so I'm sweet with the block out dates and $200 saving.

So there's been a bit of discussion on the ride building and its location. I haven't gone back through it all, so this may have been discussed already.
Looking at these photos, to me the placement of the ride building blocks the view of the out of place Sky Voyager design from the ride and more traditional designs of the entry building, the shops under the shade, restaurant and ice cream parlour, from the new ride.
Is it the best solution? Probably not. Sky Voyager should have better fit Dreamworld. But the new ride requires a building for its equipment, so this is a solution. Viewed from Sky Voyager looking back towards the Claw, it probably fits in quite well too.

Quite surprised that the Tower of Terror building and Billabong are not going.
This isn't the construction plans though, just a site plan for workers for evacuation routes etc.

You'd need a second person for reversing movements with passengers.

Mechanical faults, or is it because of the high winds?
