If they weren’t open late for the QLD holidays I’d doubt they’d be open late when school has gone back already. It’s either queue hold over due to being busy during the day, or a corporate/private park booking

Whilst probably well above the capital expenditure they’d want to outlay, a “Dreamworks Festival” with a parade, increased meet & greets, a new show to replace the current Madagascar one (or an additional show) and some activation style events such as kids Kung fu Panda training sessions, Trolls singing competition etc etc. Maybe introduce HTTYD to the park with Chinese dragons style performances themed to the characters Dreamworks is by far DWs most valuable and recognisable brand/property and they should probably leverage it more.

I enjoyed both those shows but they are only effective of an evening, so would work better in the Sept or summer school holidays imo if they were to do something similar again

So I’ve googled it... and everything I’ve read tells me that in no way was my comment “doxxing”. If someone with a public Facebook profile posts a comment on a public Facebook page - ie, Both the poster and the platform are entirely and wholly available to all 7 billion people in the world, and all I did was post a picture of said comment on here - how is that doxxing? anyway, onwards and upwards with keeping on topic...

I’m proud of having part of my comment deleted for “doxxing” I don’t know what it means but it sure sounds like something the cool kids would do these days.. Thanks @Slick

Basically with some physical sets

They did it during kids months last year too

Cosentino has announced on FB that 22,798 was the total attendance over the 32 shows so a tad over 700 per show on average. Fantastic turnout and I think DW management do deserve some kudos for making it happen. I hope they continue to introduce external entertainment opportunities to the park that encourage people who generally may not have attended to come along and give the park another shot.

So they suckered you in for a bottle of water hey...

And a batman costume... (only worn for kids parties, of course...)

Just popped in to watch the show with my son. Got in the park at 10:45 for the 11:30 and headed straight for the theatre - line was already snaking back to wipeout. The show was good, fun, high energy and just what dreamworld needed. even walking in it was the first time I’ve felt “atmosphere” in the park for a long time. The key now is how that leverage that and keep raising the bar

It would be fantastic, but by the time they order, construct and open a woodie, would TOT2 and HWSW have more than a couple of years of life left in them?

The uniqueness of it is what makes it popular. It’s every second weekend it loses its appeal, especially during winter. It also can’t happen at the expense of day trade. Summer holidays, sure stay open until 10 every week, but many of us have been calling for late trade during summer at all the parks for years

@Jobe I generally enjoy your posts and input on this forum, and I can genuinely say that applies to pretty much everyone involved except for the annoying overseas guy wanting photos of SDSC 2.0. People who have differing or left field ideas, interests or opinions to the majority, or challenge the norm, are always going to be open to more questioning, banter and spotlight than others, that’s generally how most of society works, irrespective of if you are on a forum, in a lunchroom in an office or on a worksite. In “the real world” people learn to accept and embrace that they see things through a slightly different lense, and generally the banter and jokes they receive are taken in the spirit through which they are delivered. Unfortunately in the online world the ability to decipher intent, tone, sarcasm etc are entirely personal as you don’t have human cues or online ears to hear delivery. Therefore your inner voice or the way you perceive things naturally - be that positively, negatively or indifferently - can determine how you perceive the intent of a text comment. I’ve never met a single person on this forum and have no idea if Alex is a 12 year old girl or Skeet is a 90 year old war veteran, to me they are people who my mind determines are probably not so different to me in the real world. That could be spot on or possibly could not be further from the truth. I’m here to have fun, share a passion, expand my knowledge and experience things through others accounts of their experiences. I’d like to think everyone else here is as well, so therefore when banter that I could understand could offend pops up, I make a rationale decision that it’s not intended to be as such, as why would it be? Why would anyone here want to personally hurt, upset, “bully” anyone? I don’t think they would, so I don’t try to find that outcome in what I am reading. Look for the good in people, not the bad. This forum isn’t overly moderated, which is amazing, as I’m a member of many that are and they are not enjoyable. If the mods think something goes beyond banter, joking or ribbing, or believe that it could be perceived to be, I have faith that it would be deleted and the person warned.

Meh. No one has been bullied. Sick of people throwing that word around who have no clue what bullying truly is, and how the inaccurate use of it to describe someone who simply disagrees with you and provides a reason for it, just dilutes it (thanks for the 6 month delayed fountain you just threw me for the last time I commented about this in another post @Jobe). My dad told me something when I was younger that has always stayed with me - no one will take the time to bother to criticise, insult or tease you if they didn’t care about you or what you have to say. If they didn’t care, they’d simply ignore you. (Or block you these days). Take a bit of ribbing or banter for what it is, and don’t let the thoughts & comments of people who you have no real relationship with affect you in a negative way

Save for an extra year or two and go to the states. we were throwing up the same ideas as you now are this time 18 months ago and decided to wait until our son was 6-7 and do it the “proper way” (Disneyland). We’re heading to LA mid next year when he can appreciate it a little more and keep the memories outside of just photos & videos. Funnily enough my earliest vivid memory from childhood that is still retained is Disneyland when I was 6 and a half.

Whilst I wouldn’t expect them to remove it in time for FNs this year, I wouldn’t be expecting it to still be there in 3 years....

Have to say, I have absolute NFI what the rationale or reasoning for any of that is at all..

Seems the greatest trick Consentino has done is make people appear at Dreamworld.

Well you can take it that we won’t have SV anytime in the next few months if that sign has gone down in favour of a sales gimmick that won’t work...

Disappointing with the holidays starting tomorrow, but if it’s unexpected, what can you do!

It’s usually about $28 for popcorn & a drink so I guess you are really only paying $2 to jump the 6 people in the queue..

They need buy 1 get 3 free passes if they want people to go back there
