  1. Wow this has blown up while I’ve enjoyed my day at the beach. Getting evac’d out of the water due to a shark wasn’t in the plans, totally a 1 star review coming up for Burleigh Beach… End of the day, if you want to go on more than 3 rides, even on the busiest day, you will. Parks have family swap to assist with getting on some rides, if you have little kids you can comfortably get them on all of WB kids offerings in well under 2 hours (probably closer to 1) giving you, an adult, plenty of time to go on the big stuff. If you want to fart around to watch shows and take photos then that’s fine, and it’s what I personally would want from my day at a park, but it’s my choice to do that so I’m not going to whinge and moan that my choices cut down my ride opportunities.
  2. Upcharge attraction where you get to chase brown snakes off the island with Captain Feathersword themed machetes
  3. Median wait times provided show you could easily ride more than 2-3 rides in a day. plan or not.
  4. If I read “opening BY 2024” then I’m expecting it will be open on Jan 1. “completed in 2024” means it could reopen on any of the 365 days that year
  5. Of course not, but if you are paying $400+ for the one day you can attend whilst on holidays, then unless you are maximising use of the operational times of the park then I’d suggest you are limiting the relevance of the argument that you could only get on 2 rides..
  6. Google reviews. Haha. Also known as exaggeration central. whilst some are no doubt genuine, 90% are exaggerated to publicly force the park into offering some form of restitution or because “poor me” I’m not happy so I want to slag off your business I guarantee you a large majority had no plan, rocked up late and aimless wandered around while the kids argued about what they wanted to go on first.
  7. I’m obviously not taking into account lining up for DCR for 2 hours only for it to break down.. Your friends experience is theirs, I wasn’t there, but I can’t buy for a minute anyone only getting on 3 rides in a day with 9:30am to 6pm holiday operation. If you are there at rope drop with a plan on where you are heading straight to, even if you dawdle you’ll be on a ride within 30mins Are you then saying in the proceeding 8 hours they could only manage 2 more rides? Doesn’t add up.
  8. That’s a massive over exaggeration. Firstly no individual is paying $400 to enter. if you are coupling a whole family from a cost perspective, then you just couple them as a family for rides even in the highest peak, you are not only getting on 2-3 rides in a day unless you are spending 4 hours eating and shopping, or only spending a few hours at the park.
  9. If safety procedures are making people angry and ruining their day, the issue isn’t the procedures, it’s the people.
  10. Have to say I have no interest in spinning cars. Especially not if it becomes the standard offering. the right hand side of the queue building is become more and more lucrative as it’s utilised as an events space, so I can’t see it being reclaimed. I’d be more inclined to think that if any changes to the queue room layout are to occur that they may involve better segmenting the room with a permanent wall
  11. So the loss of TOT and wipeout is a bigger factor than the addition of DCR and ST in determining if we are a country with quality or world class rides?
  12. The loss of LTRR for Jnr Driving School is the biggest stain on our parks imo. Yes I know it would have been costly to refresh and update the animatronics, but it was quintessential MW and that ride truly would have had its place FOREVER if they kept it well maintained.
  13. They have an AV team completely separate from the ride maintenance team
  14. I don’t think you’re in the target market unless you’re under 7…
  15. You don’t get it no public or paying guests were impacted. nothing was closed for their sole use
  16. More than likely a data entry error. Wrong option chosen from the drop-down box
  17. Happy to be wrong/against the grain on this one. To me it’s simply a flat ride. My personal definition, or the way I apply it, doesn’t see Surf Rider as a coaster. In saying that I also did not see Tower of Terror as a coaster despite its featured lending to that classification. I know what I think means jack all however.
  18. I’m not sure what relevance that is. If you move it to SW are you expecting it to have higher ridership than Jet Rescue or Vortex? Meh. Not a single solitary member of the public would refer to Surfrider as a rollercoaster, nor would any park in the world market one as such.
  19. It’s not a coaster No matter which park in the entire world it ends up it would be no more than a filler attraction
  20. I’m fairly certain Dreamworld has shelved plans for a hotel now in at least the medium term. villages plans are certainly forging ahead and on back of its value to their C&E endeavours, I have no doubt it will go ahead
  21. Thank question makes zero sense. dreamworld is a family park, that doesn’t mean Steel Taipan is a family ride. just because you are a family park doesn’t mean every single attraction has to cater or be suitable for every guest
  22. I find that a weird comment given the 3 main outlets (Gotham, Harry’s, West) all have differing menus harrys menu is literally all Mexican food.
  23. Whilst there may be some downtime when major demolition needs to be done, there is nothing concrete as yet to show the train has to be closed down for a substantial time.
