  1. Sunway is the operator of that park but what they are best known for and what stellaclose was likely getting at is they were the ones who purchased and then closed wonderland sydney after running it into the ground through their poor management and lack of investing in new attractions.
  2. This show description sounds like they couldnt secure the rights to the octonauts and just said screw it and made an octonauts rip off with seals.
  3. Could have at least waited till after Halloween (All Hallows Day for my fellow Irish Citizens)
  4. Queensland Rail does something similar with bottled water when the train network goes down.
  5. Perhaps they are concerned about a similar accident to the river rapids occuring on the ride so they are removing these covered sections so employees can keep an eye on the log boats and stop the ride if they think two boats get to close to each other. Just my theory.
  6. What triple vortex has been disassembled
  7. It seems that state police in a report to the government are recommending no criminal action be taken against dreamworld staff however the final decision does appear to be up to the coroner. However police are also understood to have recommended a coronial inquest into the tragedy which is expected to occur by 2018 at the earliest. http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2017/10/21/no-charges-sought-over-dreamworld-disaster
  8. Forget germany and the UK because spain is where it is at with theme patks what with Warner Bros Movie Worlds sister park Parque Warner in Madrid and Port Aventura (Interstingly it was formely a Universal Park) and Ferrari Land near Barcelona and Terra Mitica (Which was also interestingly formely a Paramount Park) near Valencia.
  9. Does anyone know if white water world is also half empty like dreamworld.
  10. VRTP's and Movie Worlds copyright information must be really out of date to be lying about having some form of legal theme park rights to harry potter. http://themeparks.com.au/terms-conditions-policies/trademarks-and-copyright.aspx
  11. You fly from brisbane (not perth) to some where like the phillipines then you switch planes and fly from the phillipines to Johor Bahru. It takes so long because since Johor Bahru's airport is not a major airport you can't fly direct. Since it is still a long flight from brisbane to singapore you would only save a bit over 2 hours flying to Changi airport and taking the bus to legoland Malaysia due to it likely taking a while to get through border security.
  12. Flights to johor bahru take twelve and a half hours because considering how it is only a regional airport you have to make a stop over in order to get there. Plus for most people in Australia the gold coast is much closer than singapore with much shorter flying times.
  13. Flight from brisbane to Legoland Malaysia (Which is in Johor Bahru) takes at least over Twelve and a half hours and Flights from Brisbane to Universal Studios (Which is in Singapore) take at least over Eight hours. These plane flights are not short like Brisbane to Auckland which takes just Three Hours.
  14. Yeah now that I think about it my theory was pretty far out there. By the way thanks for the response and creative criticism Brad2912 and themagician I probably should have thought more about it my theory regarding the bucket before I posted.
  15. They should call the coaster Rainbow Rider after the cool rainbow on one of loops or they could call it simply Rainbows End after the park. Anyone else got any ideas for a new name because I agree that naming it The Roller Coaster just doesnt cut it.
  16. It could be a safety concern over the painful force some guests mainly children were feeling and complaining about in relation to the bucket.
  17. Universal Studios singapore only gets around three and a half million visits annually. So I would say given how in 2014-2015 financial year dreamworld got just under two and half million visits I would say a Universal Studios park would be feasible especially considering how by it being a bigger international name than dreamworld would likely attract a few hundred thousand more guests annually. You have a point perhaps we need a financial bailout scheme in case of near bankruptcy for these parks especially considering how if they close we won't be seeing any where near as many tourists visiting the region as we do currently. My logic is that the more theme parks we have the more visitors we get and the more visitors we get the more people who will visit Ardent and VRTP parks.
  18. Demolition work on blue lagoon is finally happening just a short 12 years after originally closing.
  19. Brad I am not saying give these companies a blank cheque and millions of dollars as the two ideas I had for financial incentives could be leasing (not selling) public land really really cheap for these companies to build on or maybe giving exemptions on certain taxes (not all taxes just some) in hope of attracting these big international names such as legoland and universal studios.
  20. Hey guys I have been thinking why doesn't the state of Queensland offer financial incentives to attract international theme park companies like Legoland or Universal Studios to open up shop on the gold coast in order to attract more domestic and international tourists to the state.
  21. Wow AlexB thanks for the detailed feedback on my post who would have thought that a 200ft drop tower called space probe could hurt their financial situation so badly.
