Dreamworld Memorial & Reopening discussion
Brad2912 replied to JaggedJanine's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I think that's the plan, WWW will literally just become a new 'world/land' within DW. -
And just like a cheesy horror movie, the higher the number the more lame it gets..

Minimal changes? There's heaps: * LW --> AA * LTRR --> JDS * BA:TR2 --> JL * Shrek 4D --> Road Runner 4D * LT:WUR gone * Taz Hollywood Cars gone * Chinatown alley gone/inaccessible * GL built * DD & VU precinct built

Yeah, i never expected Dreamworld to appear as though you are in a dream... I'm not sure how you'd even fulfil a brief in trying create that. But if that's what we are heading for, I'm all for Miranda Kerr pouring beers while Margot Robbie gives me a massage in the queue line.. (we may run into some conflicting licensing issues though as Margot would be in her Harley Quinn get up)... waking up in 3, 2, 1.... -

I had no issue with the Happiness tagline. The signs ok but the problem with chucking the year on it is it becomes obsolete 12 months later and needs to be replaced... or they could get black electrical tape and draw a 6 over the 5 I guess -

Maybe just give them a chainsaw with a label 'for use in an emergency only' and they can cut their way out of the control box if necessary. Of course, for safety requirements, the petrol jerrycan to fill the chainsaw will require a double key simultaneous lock sequence, a retinal scan and a series of trigonometry & Pythagoras theorem problems to be answered with 100% accuracy. I always found I was better at maths when chunks of burning timber were falling down around me.. -
Thanks for the review. Couple of points from your SW trip. *the aircon in the monorail is non-existent or never works if it's there, so you're basically in a slow moving tin can. *weird you didn't see a polar air, I've never seen one not in the enclosure before. That water and the lower area of the enclosure is completely climate controlled, and given they have shown an ability to contribute to a strong breeding program and re-home the bears in Canada, I have no problem with them being there. *Nick land doesn't flow perfectly as it was constructed with some of the exiting rides remaining and the others building around it. It is by far however, the best kids offering of any theme park MW *someone may correct me, but the Junior Driving School has a set 150 second cycle as far as I know, and isn't changed depending on how busy it is

So my son & I had our first 'proper' theme park trip post DW accident today (partner was a bit iffy with my son going on rides after what happened - so we'd done 2 PC trips). Couple of observations from the day.. *amentities are much improved across the park *wasnt as busy as I expected given schoolies is on *the parade has changed the music around - and it sucks. No music on the entry lap, basically just 'elevator music', then on the way back one song, and then a return to the same elevator music. It's been 6 weeks since the last visit, but no idea why this was changed, it really kills the atmosphere *JL effects were all working for the first time I can remember in a year, including the Starro projection on the mist curtain. The door even opened at the correct timing with the Green Lantern projection, BUT, we got half way through the doorway when it appeared we e-stopped. Just sat there for a good 2 mins, with the door continually trying to close every 10 seconds and hitting the side of the car... eventually we moved through, guns no longer working and no screens functional except the final one. * didn't check the maintenance page, but it seemed strange to have basically all the moderate thrill rides down at the same time (SDSC, Batwing & Doomsday)

Maybe people were downvoting the fact that nothing was happening, as opposed to you telling them? like when Facebook used to only have the thumbs up like button, and you posted "my granny just died, so sad" and it appeared as though you'd have about 120 people liking that your granny is dead... -

I've already worked that out! Haha Just quote the complaintants address (it's on their letter). They seem like old fuddy duddys, I doubt they'd be FN enthusiasts. Haha- 499 replies

Those resident letters attached to the link you posted @AlexB were super informative! i now know I can see a free fireworks display tonight at 7pm if I go to the MW car park, and more impressively, if I call the booking line and quote "FN residents offer" I get a free double pass to fright nights!

Dreamworld Lego Store construction
Brad2912 replied to Theme Park Girl's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I think we all got the idea.. "Lego replica of Dreamworld" isn't a particularly ambiguous statement. Also, LPS is about the same size as Corroboree at DW. You'd need a hell of a lot of Lego, and space, to build the entire park -

Just google the headline and click the link. it overrides the paywall on any article. it is concerning to hear that there is major maintenance concerns on another ride, especially on Buzzsaw given it wasn't that long ago they added the extra redundancy seat belts -

Brad2912 replied to Theme Park Girl's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I think a Lego version of the DW globe would be cool, and not take up anywhere near as much room... and could be hung potentially within the shop -

I'd say the coaster will be well into vertical construction come the press tour in April/May.. goodluck to them if they're still trying to keep it a secret 6 months from now.. -
Dreamworld Lego Store construction
Brad2912 replied to Theme Park Girl's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It's bricks and it will be an iconic destination store that will draw people to the park (or at least to the entry), which can never be seen as a bad thing... -
Yeah I get that, what I meant was ANZ don't show a surcharge to the individual for using paywave, but the merchant may (like in the case of MW) charge you a surcharge as part of the total purchase cost, so Tornado pulling his bank statement out won't show the surcharge
-
Dude... it's not ANZ that charges you, it's a surcharge that the store/premises charges you.

Nice one @YLFATEEKS apparently all ride signage has been removed from the queue house

Because it's not paradise country? there is no aboriginal area/shows in PC. There is no Asian cultural area at PC. when I likened it to PC it was in terms of its market appeal
