  1. 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.
  2. If safety procedures are making people angry and ruining their day, the issue isn’t the procedures, it’s the people.
  3. 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
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. They have an AV team completely separate from the ride maintenance team
  7. I don’t think you’re in the target market unless you’re under 7…
  8. You don’t get it no public or paying guests were impacted. nothing was closed for their sole use
  9. More than likely a data entry error. Wrong option chosen from the drop-down box
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. It may have more thrilling elements, but when speaking about “family” thrill rides, inversions usually move a ride out of that category. Imo nothing with an inversion will ever be family friendly ride My son is 10, and he’ll do superman without a problem but GL is a no go due to inversions, and his entire friend group is the same. Many do Rivals but won’t go near GL. I’d argue the slow arduous nature of the inversions on GL make it a tougher sell to younger kids than say Cyclone that is a quick and done inversion
  18. Nothing with multiple inversions is “family” imo You’ve left Rivals off all your rankings i’d consider GL far more “thrill” than Superman - considerably more
  19. Security should remove them from the park. Morons
  20. I’d consider 2 helicopters colliding in mid-air and 4 people dying as being on the high end of seriousness….
  21. Horrible. I won’t speculate or add to the rumour mill with what I have read or heard from some people in the vicinity. my thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved including the first responders and witnesses
  22. Two helicopters are understood to have collided and crashed in the Broadwater near Sea World theme park on the Gold Coast. Emergency services are rushing to a “major incident” on the Broadwater which occurred around 2pm. A Queensland Police Service spokesman confirmed several crews had been called to an “aviation incident” near SeaWorld just after 2pm Monday. “We’ve been called to a reported helicopter collision near (SeaWorld) in the past 10 to 15 minutes,” he said. Helicopter pilot Scott Menzies was flying over the Broadwater at 2.15pm and said the scene “didn’t look good. “I don’t know what has happened but it doesn’t look good,” he told the Bulletin. “Emergency services are there now.” Queensland Ambulance Service said multiple crews were on scene. “Multiple QAS resources and other emergency services are on the scene of a major incident involving two helicopters at 1.59pm,” they said. “No further details at this time.” Witnesses said they had seen two helicopters collide. “Just witnessed two helicopters crash into each other at SeaWorld,” Dang Nguyen said. Julie Gill said she had “witnessed two helicopters crash”.
