Defunctland: The Demise of Wonderland Sydney
TomiJ replied to SeriouslyPunked's topic in Theme Park Discussion
@Aw hype, what's interesting about the video is that Nova was advertising it on Facebook and instagram. This was the article Nova published: Footage of an abandoned Wonderland has been released as nightmare fuel RIP The Beastie. It feels like forever but it's actually been 14-odd years since Sydney's Wonderland was a thing. Yup! The theme park (billed colloquially as Movie World's povo cousin) closed in 2004 - to the dismay of everyone not currently living on the Goldie - with owners citing everything from the bird flu to September 11 for its closure. Which is a damn shame 'cause Wonderland was Good Bloody Stuff and worth a trip when your cousins were in town or as a reward for being on your best behaviour - Hanna-Barbera Land in particular really hit the spot. While most of us have forgotten Wonderland - and were too young to ever really know its location/cost/adult pain point #3, so it kind of faded away - it seems a few people, including YouTube Channel Abandoned Oz, still have the site on their radar. And honestly? Nightmare fodder: Link to page: https://www.nova969.com.au/you/footage-abandoned-wonderland-have-been-released-nightmare-fuel -
The reef is also closed in the summer (4th-18th Feb). It does not make any sense. The reef is one of their highest capacity attractions that requires no staff and it's a water based attraction.

Sky Voyager added to Dreamworld map
TomiJ replied to Gold Coast Amusement Force's topic in Theme Park Discussion
^ Hoesntly it's easy to miss though. Theres over 27 pages in the sky voyager thread. The last construction thread (dc rivals) was over a 100 pages. If you don't follow this page daily it is easy to get a bit lost. -
For someone who has never been before is it worth going at the current price? Do they still have feature the helicopter?

Are you mad bro? Have you ever been to a Universal Studios park? This what Universal Studios looks like, just in case you got mixed up with a different park. Honestly it's not even close.

I've messaged @dylan_oreganprivately @Slick

I still thought this tooic was a funny read and I found movie worlds responses interesting. @Jdude95 as random this topic is. I'd rather people post something if THEY think it might be interesting for others than not posting anything.

They were running 2 trains on supermn at the start of the night. So I asmume they were running two trains all night. Even today when most rides were a walk on they were running two trains.

Thunder River Rapids Incident Coronial Inquest
TomiJ replied to Jamberoo Fan's topic in Theme Park Discussion
According to the ABC report below it states "he cannot operate any of the parks 36 rides" (58 sec into the video). I just want to be sure this is the same person @Skeetamentioned in the post above or is it a different person. Ethier way it is not good. Also thoughts on the report? -
#sad reacts only 😪☹️😩

So this is what the global benchmark looks like: -
Thanks heaps @themagicianI always love your updates. For @Gold Coast Amusement Force and those who are struggling to imagine what it looks like. I have drawn a picture to help you visualise the crane and what it is doing.

Ok fair enough. I understand the play on words and that it was a joke. However it still felt like you were bashing on Dreamworld and kicking them when there already down. I know there is nothing positive noteworthy to write about Dreamworld. After seeing some of the comments on Facebook it is obvious people enjoyed the read but I didn't nor did I find it that funny. @joz I appreciate the effort in mixing up the articles and agree not every article needs to be serious. Lols sorry to go all... https://media.giphy.com/media/hmzZkvOJPLQti/200.gif

@Gold Coast Amusement Force I appreciate the effort it is better than nothing. Thanks roachie for helping bring stuff out of the shadows. Are still expecting for this to open this year?

Dreamworld's Peter Brock Experience closed
TomiJ replied to webslave's topic in Theme Park Discussion
This was brutal but true. Anyway Dreamworld already use it as a shitty event space. Link: https://www.dreamworld.com.au/events/venues/brock's-garage I look forward to see this space transformed into an even more shitty 'hot new events venue.' -
Play School Wheel announced - Dreamworld
TomiJ replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I'm not a fan either of mega topics, I get lost. However Ferris wheel "play school wheel" is taking forever; not surprised. -
I don't think our parks have the demand to be open late. Disney parks in Orlando also have a abundance of nightly entertainment, shops, restaurants, shows and resorts adjacent to the parks. Which our parks lack. Yes Movie World have Outback Spectacular and later this year Top Golf. But I don't think that is enough. I'm not ruling it out completely in the future. I think it is a good idea. If Movie Worlds hotel and entertainment precinct ever gets developed this may have a chance of working. (Just my opinions)
