I don't have the slightest clue on Ardent's and Dreamworld's financial status. But removing and replacing rides is very expensive, so it'd be a slow process. I think just need a big attraction for the thrill seekers, there is no reason to go to Dreamworld these days, the rides aren't bad but they've been there for so long they don't interest the public.
But i like the idea of the nostalgic marketing, it would be a good move. -

To be fair he is an acclaimed award winning magician - I can’t speak for his books or movie, but he isn’t just a run of the mill hire-a-magician that does birthday parties for kids.
The slow reveal tease builds chatter, interest and hype so from that angle I don’t think it was a poor marketing ploy
I still can't help to feel a bit underwhelmed. Magicians are cool and all, but i don't think i'll be heading down to Dreamworld to catch him. Dreamworld is like the alcoholic brother that you want to get better, but just doesn't. Which saddens me, had a blast when i use to head down a few years ago, really no point to going to Dreamworld these days at least in my opinion.

I feel like Dreamworld maybe be just a tad over hyping here.
Didn't really need to be doing this whole revealing information one at a time scheme, whatever it is, i don't think it's enough to draw me back to Dreamworld. -

I think the higher-up's at Ardent played a bit of RollerCoaster Tycoon and thought "Hey! This isn't too hard."

Darwin getting a water park is cool and all, but the video showed me how modern Darwin actually is. I don't expect to be in Darwin anytime soon but this is great news for Northern Territory tourism and the people of Darwin and its surrounding area's.

If someone wanted to make a Dreamworld recreation. They have the right rides to do it, we still don't have a motorcycle model by intamin though.

After Taron and Klughiem in general i have full faith in Phantasialand and what they will do will be stunning.

The summer update is right behind the corner, so i am probably going to dive right into this. I haven't played much planet coaster but i think i just might get back into it.
Speaking of summer update, it looks absolutely amazing. Fireworks, billboards, Impulse. The one thing i don't think i am a huge fan of is the inverting pirate ship thing, i don't think i will be adding that to my park.

I have Planet Coaster, thats probably the closet i will ever be to be involved in a theme park production.

In no order.
Taron
Iron Rattler
Twisted Colossus
GateKeeper
Fury 325
Mystic Timbers
Maverick
Black Mamba
Blue Fire

The Sponge Bob Boasting School Blast over at Sea-world is my favourite. The Air-time on that is amazing, best coaster in the world in my opinion.
-
I personal don't think they will be changing the theme, with all the money issues right now. Completely redoing the theme is a lot of money. Getting a new theme after 30 years or so developing that area is unlikely.
Looking at the way Dreamworld is going. A family based ride is probably our best bet. The one thing we are missing is a solid Wooden Coaster. Wooden coasters are great for the fact that it can be a great stepping stone for all the young thrill seekers who want to do all the big rides on the coast. You can argue that the Mick Doohan coaster is this stepping stone, but that it's being marketed as a thrill ride. But as i was saying about the wooden coaster. Its great for young thrill seekers and thrill seekers alike.
Also a big clean up of that area is a must.

The new update was released today. Adding, Go karts, Inverted and normal Boomerangs, and Inverted Arrow coasters and a few new flat rides and some other stuff.

after hours and hours of hard work. I have finally figured out the new Coaster. Its Peppa Pig.

The suicide squad movie wansnt bad, just wasn't great, especially after all the hype for it. It was better than batman v Superman though.
I don't know what movie you were watching, but i hated Suicide Squad, much worse then Batman Vs Superman, i didn't overly enjoy both of them but i prefer Batman Vs Superman. Anyway, I am still trying to figure out the theme. Its not the joker, hes more purple and green. I would use Red and Black or Red and white to describe her. Pink Power Ranger? Probably not, isn't owned by Warner Brothers.

Its a long shot... but Bizarro has that same kind of pink in his costume??
Bizarro is more Purple then Pink.

My favourite headline was "Future Of Dreamworld in doubt" and "Is it time to close Dreamworld for good?". I was watching the Today show this morning and they were doing like a interview or something with this person (Probably knows nothing about Theme Parks). She said that Dreamworld's response wasn't enough. She was talking like there was something wrong with the BuzzSaw. What can you expect though.

You guys remember Deamworld Insiders?
-
In the end of all of this. Sea World is the real winner.
-
Punishment? What are you on about? My brain can't handle this right now.
-
I think they should do a revamp of the area, i like the theme. But it's dead.
-
Terrifying, I couldn't watch the video.

I'm interested, i have been looking at videos, pretty fun game it seems.
How to fix Dreamworld
in Theme Park Discussion
Posted · Edited by Prequel
All these ideas sound good and all, but closing the park down for anything more than 3 months, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on completely changing the park, and then changing the name sounds like a fantasy. Yes the Dreamworld name has some dirt on it since the unfortunate event, but it also holds nostalgic value.
The only thing i think Dreamworld needs is some proper investment and care.
What i'd do with Dreamworld is work with what you have. So unfortunately MDMC will be staying.
Also bring back something on the lines with Dreamworld Insiders, it'd probably have to be a new cast, but it will be a lot of fun.
Trying to keep rides a float for a long period of time is the first thing i would do, and then build a RMC Hydrid, to gain some more guests.
I also really loved the idea of nostalgic advertising, it would be really neat.
