  1. The only land east of The ranges that could facilitate a Disney sized development would be the farm land at Jacobs Well/Norwell/Woongoolba
  2. Aqua man isn't out until October 2018 so on your logic the only option is Wonder Woman. Dont forget the Justice League movie comes out at the end of next year which will have Flash & Aquaman
  3. I was alluding to your source being the dippin dots guy.. It's the obvious choice
  4. The dipping dot guy is back? If you told me they delayed the announcement, I'd agree, but are you saying they changed the theme, I'm calling BS. Too far along to do so, and why? The coaster wasn't going to be called The Thunder Coaster or some sort of associated word...
  5. Think that stigma is gone, the general public for the most part are not really aware of the severity of the near miss that occurred, and as such it's just become "one of the hundreds of times it's got stuck".
  6. Flash was in Suicide Squad & Batman v Superman, will be in Justice League next year and has a standalone movie releasing in 2019 (was supposed to be 2018 but has been delayed due to a director change).
  7. Why? There is no reason to re-theme GL. green arrow isn't even a traditional member of the justice league, nor will he take part in the cinematic universe in any form currently planned (through to 2020)
  8. I never said the reporting was completely fact based and 100% grounded in truth, just that it was reported, which until the coronial enquiry concludes is all we can go offer. It would be fairly simple (I wouldn't imagine) to recreate the effect of a malfunctioning/underperforming pump, and to replicate a bottomed out/stopped raft. I imagine it also wouldn't be hard to replicate a collision between two rafts. Maybe, speculation only, they wouldn't get the raft to lift & flip as it did on the day...
  9. No it's not... Wonder Woman comes out in June next year Aquaman comes out October 2018
  10. There is ZERO chance of them selling Merch with TRR on it, zero. Making sure they don't make a loss on a few t-shirts means jack compared to brand damage of (more) people waking around with TRR advertised, and would be microscopic compared to the losses they've already felt
  11. I'd happily see the coaster be themed to WW. I dont particularly think it will happen, but I think it would be a great choice, and a unique one at that
  12. Here you go... Earlier this month police concluded their investigation as to what caused the Thunder River Rapids Ride to malfunction. However investigators were reported to be unable to recreate the freak conditions that led to the accident. An inquest is likely to be held in the first half of next year. From: http://www.news.com.au/news/dreamworld-issued-three-prohibition-notices-over-buzzsaw-ride-during-whsq-audit/news-story/d005999940acb5077b5995bda959e6cd
  13. It is a saying, ("they let their kids get away with murder...") but was in poor taste in the situation used
  14. There nothing inevitable about what occurred at DW. it was a freak accident that the police & Coroner could not even replicate despite attempting for 3 days... the park has had no problems in the past with its rides being certified, and as has been spoken with at length, TRR was signed off after it's maintained just weeks before. You don't know more than the police, the coroner, third party certifiers, Dreamworld maintenance, Dreamworld management or, by the looks of things, a lot of people here. If you don't want to visit the park for whatever reason, then don't, but don't fancify up some bullshit to justify your reasoning
  15. No, most of the general public DONT think it's a steal. I wish they did, as if prices for annual passes were raised we'd have more investments in park. But, most average families on the GC alternate which annual pass they buy each year, so they are not going to buy a $250-300 annual pass. Not now that the market has been acclimatised to 3 parks for a year for $99. Lots of people do go to the USA, but it's not the same market that makes up the majority of DW/MWs visitors And to further add, there is no proof that their was dodgy operation of anything at DW, so it might pay to keep your mouth shut.
  16. For the investment required to bring DW up to a Disney standard park, so you think they'll be offering $99 annual passes? I think not. Don't forget how much people blew up when the passes went up by $10 and buy 3 get 1 free was removed. The locals here are accustomed to, and now expect, bargain basement theme park pricing, so you won't double attendance by slapping a Disney badge on & upgrading facilities unless you offer comparable DW type pricing. Either way it's a moot point...
  17. Eat Street is ok, and was the only thing of its kind really until Nightquarter & Marquetta opened. Nightquarter is a lot better laid out, weather proof and a much better atmosphere. That's like 40mins away.. not far at all
  18. ?? Nothing like the Ekka at all... have you been to nightquarter? Quality food, licenced venue, live music.
  19. Dude you are seriously starting to shit me.. whats with the 'lol'... if you have some factual basis for believing Fareground, or Nightquarter for that matter, are/will be trashy, then bring it to the table or STFU.. seriously..
  20. If I have admitted I was wrong and made a misjudgment, there is no need to continue to try & convince me I was wrong...
  21. The nightquarter is amazing and has gone from strength to strength in its first year. Miami Marketta is also great, this provides a similar offering in between. Will be immensely popular and successful IMO. Nothing trashy about what is being planned.
  22. The tram won't be going to Nerang. It would be up on bricks after each stop. Tram will eventually run from Helensvale to the airport, with potentially a branch off to robina in about 15 years time
  23. you can't live life in fear. Thousands die on the road each year, families could be forgiven for worrying everytime they get behind the wheel that their kids could be hurt, but you cautiously move on. Most of the general public understand that a freak accident took place. The chance of a freak accident occurring again is no more likely to happen at DW as it is at any other park, and I think that's fairly common knowledge.
