Dreamworld and White Water World were busier today than when we went first weekend of the summer school holidays. It was good to see the car park so full especially for a Monday. Much happier vibe too, great day all round.

Hopefully they have fixed the effects and it was just a soft reopening. Still states it's down for maintenance on the website so one can hope. Can't wait to ride it again though.

Hopefully WWF opens this time, two big attractions that absorb a lot of the crowd being down mid commonwealth games and school holidays isn't good. Staying away from the parks for the next few weeks lol.

Please do! Wish I had some creativity in that game but it seems after 100+ hours all I do is build massive coasters haha.

That would have definitely been it! Found a couple more oldies from 99 - 01. Closer Look at the Shark Some peacocks with their chicks. ToT Skull Now memory is vague, but I remember around 2001 they added a bunch of what seemed like carnival rides? I had forgotten about it until I seen these, I think they were near tiger island.. Same place they would use to bring in the motorbike dome of death. June - 2001 had the Mummy walk through - First year of big brother! - Old Vintage Cars Station - Something Different - Thats all from 2001

Thanks mate, only just realised the one of us overlooking the tower of terror doesn't have the giant drop being built on it. Can't remember seeing a photo without it.

Such a hit of nostalgia looking through these.. Few tears but awesome memories, looked through the photos up to 2000. Stingray - 95 Forgot the name - 95 Old fire engine near the steam train entrance - 95 When Tiger Island first opened in 1995, these guys were born in 1994. Samara one of the goldens, is the mother of Sultan, Sita, Rama and Taj. Old Candy shop - 96 Blue Lagoon - 96 Looking on at the newly completed Tower of Terror, standing on the old Paddle ship - Early 1997 Next to the old fire engine above - 97 Avalanche - 97 Steemwheel paddle wheeler outlaws - 97 Giant drop with operating chair lift - 98 Think dreamworld had redone the area near the current nick land that included a ride with dinosaurs? Memory is vague - 98 Thunder bolt - 98 98 Gravitron - 99 Enterprise - 99 Great memories

Found an old harddrive with hundreds of photos between 95 - late 2000's love the old thunderbolt.

Loved the old Vintage Cars area.. As a kid we'd try and time it so we'd be under the Tower of Terror as it went flying above. Awesome photos, great memories of a better time.

Ah awesome thanks for the reply, I remember going on it as a kid and loving it. Was sad when it was gone when I went back quite some time later. Did find this video while searching for it though, quite sad seeing all the old rides gone. Having said that I never knew the Bermuda triangle used to have a mining theme.

Was the coaster at SeaWorld back in the 90s something like a wild mouse? Went on it when I was really young and have slight memories of what it looked like, think it was called Thrillseeker.

Decided to do just that took my little nephew a few months back when a lot of the rides were closed and the park was empty, he said it was a sad the park was so dead. Going to give ride express a shot. Thanks for the replys all.

How has the attendance been looking at the parks the past few days? Keen to go but I live 3 hours away so not worth the drive if the parks still have crazy queues. Great to see them busy, especially Dreamworld, but still prefer not to wait hours for rides.

Guessing it prevents people from putting their hands up too? Can see a few bruised knuckles from people getting excited at the top and forgetting the cage is there.

I remember the amount of signs on the log ride saying not to rock the boat, are the cages now in place to prevent it from tipping? Or more so stopping people from trying to get out?
