Thanks for these! Skull and entry was so much better "out front". I also want to make that vintage car station in Planet Coaster now

 

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

@RobC the dinosaur ride you are referring to was possibly the creature cruise, a short lived water boat ride.

That would have definitely been it! 

Found a couple more oldies from 99 - 01.

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.

Those are some great photos @RobC.

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

Gravitron - 99

Enterprise - 99

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.

That coaster was a Galaxi coaster, which was a fairly common model built by SDC around the late 60's-70's. It is different to a wild mouse in that it has banked turns.

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.

[Dreamworld rebounds with big crowds for the peak season]

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.

[Dreamworld rebounds with big crowds for the peak season]

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.

[Dreamworld - 2017 Log Ride reopening]

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.

[Dreamworld - 2017 Log Ride reopening]

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?

[Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017]

Looking forward to hearing  that recognisable sound of the wipeout again. Hopefully the log ride opens too and we have a full park operating.

[Movie World November 2017 Improvements]

Went on Thursday, definitely going again the same day as White Christmas. Every ride bar scooby (30 minutes) and dc (15 minutes) was a walk on even Arkham. There was a bit of a crowd but way less than I expected. Left around 5 to probably a thousand people waiting to come in for White Christmas.

Dc and Superman both had two carriages running so queue went fast. Loving the amount of shows they had on throughout the day, Matt Hollywood was great to see.

Can't wait for Wild West to open again, miss having a ride to cooldown on. No locker fee's is great too, don't feel to need to use the full hour anymore. Great day all round.

Dunno where you guys find all these vomitters from... I’ve been going to theme parks for near on 27 years and have never seen someone vomit first hand on or after a ride

That's honestly what shocked me, it's the first time I seen a vomit on the ground.. Then proceed to witness 6 or so on the ground throughout the day and one happened right next to me, and of course the ride breaks down and we have to sit next to the smell. The tower of terror attendant said it happens a lot around the school excursion time. Kids scoff down food and go straight on rides. The humidity was pretty horrible Tuesday too so that could have contributed.

[Dreamworld's Eureka Mountain Mine Ride will not be reopening]

Great childhood memories on the mine ride, the first loud clunk at the start when the train connects to the chain hill and how bloody hot it would on the ride during the summer. Always loved the queue for it, hearing the screams and seeing the drop right in front of you, then hearing it screech above you as it sped back into the mountain.

It's a shame but was expected, hope they make good use of the amount of room they have there now.

Out of curiosity, did BuzzSaw, Tailspin ever reopen or was this just a case of a badly updated website?

I was there on Tuesday and both Buzzsaw and Tailspin were open. The notices out front said the Buzzsaw would be closed for the day but opened around 10:45. 

Witnessed quite a few breakdowns Tuesday.

Giant drop got stuck half way up twice, both times for a few minutes and had to be lowered down slowly
I got stuck on the shockwave for about 10 minutes as the attendant couldn't release the harnesses until maintenance arrived.
Also got stuck on the tailspin as we waited for maintenance to do a reset 

Was a good day but holy shit, never going again the last week of school term. The amass of school groups going on end of years excursions goes hand in hand with the most vomit I have ever seen. Tower of terror was shut for 40 minutes due to clean up, 3 outside of buzzsaw and the girl next to me projectile vomited as we stopped on the shockwave.. All the vomit and breakdowns reminded me of my old rollercoaster tycoon days.
