But then they could plant some water too and have a rock pool, surely that wouldn't be out of place at sea world.

1. Spin & spew with turbine theming 2. Looping/launch Roller coaster with turbine theming 3. Large water ride (must be able to be moved after 10 years to another area in the park when turbine theming doesn't fit anymore) 4. Drop tower (no turbine needed) 5. Taller drop tower (hence meaning no-on will ever ride on the first one ever again)

Damned planted dirt!! Why didn't they plant some rocks? hell, why didn't they just plant a ride?

Kingda Ka - when was the last time you saw a coaster moved to a different location in a park just because of theming? The park doesn't have billions of dollars to waste on re-locations. Oh, and it's nowhere near the 'western' area (which isn't really western). I agree Jobe that the day will come that the will have to do something with Eureka, but i think the issue has and will be the impact it has on operations at that corner of the park.

It's been over 12 months since any mention of Wild.

Only 1 I saw was circus of the damned, pretty lame

MDMC isn't going to be removed or moved. It's just not feasible. The whole notion of that should just be removed from everyone's thought process. Eureka would be incredibly difficult to manage in terms of demo and construction, without closing the whole area down, which them loses you BuzzSaw & Rapids.

Was there a show in the Arena last year? I generally don't bother with the shows as I use the time I have for the mazes, which are generally quieter if/when a show is on. They have never really promoted the individual mazes as such, moreso the event. This year there has been wolf creek specific marketing. And remember it was only wolf creek and evil within that were open for the media night.

Not bitter at all, but your arguments were contradicting each other. Everyone wishes the western area had another ride or two, specially a coaster, but the fact it's never happened or even been hinted at is a good measure that it's unlikely location to be utilised. Your suggestion of removing WWF is silly, because it's not even a slight possibility of being possible. There is no problem with you stating what you wish could occur, but at least be realistic. The park and residents have co-existed for a long time. There is about 50-100m of bushland between the two which acts as a sound barrier, and WWF isn't a loud ride. With a sound barrier installed on the final drop, it's basically silent to residents. Putting a coaster in would be completely different. Don't forget DW has residential areas within a couple of hundred metres of their boundary as well. It's not uncommon. I'll ignore the fact you called me deficient as a rookie childish error. You're new here, so may not be the Best idea to insult people who have been regular posters for Years. You are saying doomsday shouldn't be built as it's too similar to batwing. The similarity begins and ends with them being tower rides. Doomsday isn't even a launch tower. My comparison to DW was that you may as well say if you have a ride that runs on a track, don't bother building another one. Anyone thinking the tallest ride on the Gold Coast landscape wouldn't be a crowd drawer isn't thinking clearly.

Closest thing I would compare it to locally would be Scooby (disco room section), in squishy mine carts too small for non-slim adults to sit 2 across comfortably.

So your issue is there is only 2 attraction in the western area, so you want to knock it down and build, wait for it, another attraction. 1-1+1=1. You also said you don't want it knocked down, then twice suggested it. WWF is a great family attraction, it doesn't need to, nor will it, be demolished. There is room for a couple of solid flat rides if the area was re-vamped that is all. Yeh, lots of the people live out the back of MW/WnW, it's called Oxenford & Pacific Pines, some of the biggest growth areas on the GC. Why would that surprise you? Doomsday wasn't a pipedream, it was a concept/idea. No evidence whether it is still or ever was a truly viable option for the park. The ride is nothing like Batwing, well no more so than using the argument that DW should never build another coaster because they have Cyclone

How have you come to have knowledge of their financial budgets for individual mazes?

Knock down WWF? You can't be serious? The only water ride in the park, that absorbs an amazing amount of the crowd during peak periods? The one truly themed ride left in the park (albeit not as good as once was). About 50 metres behind WWF is a residential area. Nothing is being built back there, that's for certain

There's been plenty on social media, local TV and print media, radio. It's featured on the TVC for VIP passes as well. What would you like? Sky writers?

Other than some bird life moving around, that's a no. Were you expecting something to be happening?

I like you're passion kingdaka. But are you forgetting that MW/SW/WnW are under the same ownership? Why would WnW put a large thrill ride/coaster in, when MW is next door? That's confusing their offerings, and on top of that, 80% of people visiting WnW are likely on VIP passes anyway. SW is different in the market it caters towards, which largely isn't the thrill seeker, so again is not their priority. MW is VRTPs thrill park.

Well it does actually, and it's all outlined very clearly in the other thread someone linking to on a previous post

Check it for what?

Most rides are European manufacturered, so how do you figure that?

Winter in Sydney gets freezing at times, well beyond 'fairly cold'. A year long water park is not viable. The park can do whatever they want with water temps, but they can't effect the outside temp. No point going down a slide into a slash pool of 26 degrees and then getting out to a 12 degree day.

So if it is not opened during colder months, why would the water be heated?

They took the easy option and built a water park?? Haha. I think you'll find clearing an area & building a coaster is a hell of a lot easier and cheaper than constructing a water park...

Well any vacant land could occupy something, and cleared/undeveloped land would be more cost efficient to develop on in most cases. You also have to logistical issues in demolition of the ride due to the closeness to other attractions

Yoshi, it won't be WnWS doesn't operate through winter, no need for Heated water
