Was that ride a Zamperla Discovery? I can't seem to find information on it apart from the ride was called a Discovery and Zamperala make number of different pendulum rides varying in size called variations of "Discovery". PS if people want to see the video is currently on every news website.

I think Crepe would be a great idea, but no need for a whole bar. Copy what Asia does and run it out of a stand. That way it can be moved, brought out on days when required and change ingredients depending time of the day or season.

They should. Nothing more villainous than that

So what do they do with the staff who would normally work in those locations at Dreamworld then? Do they become seasonal staff?

They will. Just way too late. Thats a hopeful of what they should do.

If the replacement is targeted at the same group, they are best holding off advertising/announcing until after Trolls leaves so people with kids in that age feel rushed to visit and then also visit the new attraction rather then just wait for the next attraction. If they were smart they would host a leaving party and announce the new attraction for that location at the party.

As @Brad2912 points out, Gary Weiss personally bought $12m in Ardent shares so maybe there is an announcement coming soon, but as we saw with DCR there can be a literal rollercoaster in the front yard of a park and they still could pretend it doesn't exist. Also, DW haven't always been kings of ideal planning with works happening during holidays quite regularly. The short time frame to me though is what I find most interesting. Unless its the wrong dates and they will be updated/removed next week. 🤷‍♀️

Whats weird is its only 1 week, not the normal 3-4 for maintenance, and its also two rides on the far side. Maybe (hopefully) there is construction works happening in those areas that causes unavoidable closures?

Well Australia is part of the world

provided the monorail continues during construction, we should get some pretty great photos.

Thats a great photo

Is that the one where they build it during the parks closure in winter and have to fight against frozen timber?

The best thing about this is how open VR are being with the announcement. Early dates, pictures, names, cost. Not ignoring the big pink thing in front of the park... Hopefully we find out the manufacturers soon which should be telling and then hopefully DW follow with an open announcement, no more hiding. Also if this is $50mill and DW have $80, hopefully theirs should be killer.

Just curious, as I have no idea, how do you maintain a tower?

Might be an unpopular opinion? but I love ToT smashing through and making a stupidly loud sound. Yeah the thrills are moderate, but GD doesn't make the sound required for such a landmark. ToT in my opinion needs to be saved and kept. The Queue entrance for ToT should also have an amazing rollercoaster across from it, both with digital queue time signs to even out the lines since ToT has a pretty bad throughput. side note im kinda drunk so if this makes no sense, sorry.

They did that with the Trolls Village already

Village has been particularly quiet recently

I went on the first day of QLD school holidays and it was open from 10am - 2pm then also. I was surprised.

There is a whole Reddit thread on that. Turns out /u/doubledickdude was a fake. Sad times.

Ones bigger than the other normally. Says my doctor. I mean my friends doctor.

I never realised how large the parking lots are compared to the parks. Also this looks a little bit like a penis...

Must say I've got to agree. Also I've seen similar responses online about the Thunder Lake show but that I've not looked at a whole lot. Good on DW for a win with Consentino. Hopefully they can build on this small win.

Hey @FireBall85 Just an update, nothing in the last 2 hours. Have a good day.

Its likely, and I'm pretty sure already been discussed the issues are with the building its self and not the ride. Things like fire escapes, emergency lighting and whatever else is required in a building. I understand people joke at Dreamworld not having the building right, but this happens quite a lot. Suncorp Stadium had late changes made to it, as there were not the required number of toilets (not facilities, actual toilets). From memory the Northern Busway didn't have the right fire fighting equipment (unsure if hydrant points or sprinklers) so this isn't just DW being shitty, its an issue all over QLD due to tight regulations that apparently a lot of construction/design companies fail at.

As much as this forum discusses the negative things Dreamworld is doing, every thread, people will also discuss ways Dreamworld could improve what they are doing, ranging from realistic to wishful thinking to "never going to happen, but imagine if". This forum isn't Anti-Dreamworld, its just against running a park into the ground.
