From my past experience I have no doubt this would be the case. I know that back in Greg's leadership days at Village he would personally meet with team members from all departments who would receive positive guest feedback to thank them and also take the time to get to know a little bit about the individual. I'm sure this kind of approach would have trickled down to the current day leadership at DW.

I believe this is closing after the up and coming school holidays... -
New Roxy Theatre 4D Show coming to Movie World in 2024
Levram__ replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Tom and Jerry 4D Experience. The introduction of the characters in park proved to be a success. They are classic and the humor resonates with a very broad demographic. Because of this same reason Looney Tunes 4D was very popular with guests also. -
I can tell you it wasn't a knee jerk reaction. The relocation had been in planning since August 2022. It had two proposed locations at MW, with Superman being the most viable. One of the pro's was certainly that it added an attraction to the ride line up in the absence of Scooby. However unfortunately Scooby's fate came around much quicker than both Village and Mack anticipated. I'm not sure if its been mentioned previously but Scooby had been in planning with Mack since 2021, with the hope that it could continue to be supported by the OEM until Wizard of Oz opened. The rest however is history.

Makes me wonder how pleased Village is with these pieces of concept art being posted.... -
Dreamworld Maintenance Schedule 2024
Levram__ replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Well the above is the worst comparison ever. Two completely different devices, not even comparable... One that's relatively new and knowing SBF rides, the attraction will likely have a milestone service requirement being new that may require greater stripe-back and NDT assessment to ensure there are no early signs of structural fatigue. Superman Escape also has varied shutdown periods, not like for like depending on the whats required. For example generally every 2 years it requires a rope replacement. Based on age its also likely soon due for a control system upgrade. Also probably likely that some time might also be needed inside the rides footprint to complete works on The Flash Force Speed. Simply, your sweeping statement is an incorrect assumption and I know that as fact. -
Dreamworld Maintenance Schedule 2024
Levram__ replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Gosh it would be a real unpopular opinion to actually believe that they have genuine planned annual R&M to complete on these complex pieces of machinery that are outlined by the OEM, whilst at the same time continuing to maintain the operation of the other attractions, completing daily, weekly and monthly periodic inspections so the business can continue to operate for 7 days a week. -

I believe the sign originated as part of the Doomsday media call. -
Gumbuya World 10 Year Masterplan
Levram__ replied to Natti_amusements's topic in Theme Park Discussion
This artwork is from the establishment of the master plan. It wont be inclusive of changes that would have occurred along the way. -
Pretty certain the entrance to the area is intended to commence from Superman Escape. Connection via the former China Town entrance was ruled out of the scope early in the piece. The recent TVC shoot in park with the Yellow Brick road leading under Superman also hints at the above.

Dreamworld post Rivertown - Whats next?
Levram__ replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Money is one thing however, the board will be hard pressed to approve significant future capital spend without an upward trend in both revenue and attendance. The recent AGM was a good example of the pressures the board is facing from shareholders around visitation numbers. I really hope for DW's momentum, which I believe is on the right path, that pass holders and visitors really validate the new offerings with clicks at the gate. -
Village projects aren’t cursed, they just need to learn to stop prematurely putting a date on things… DW’s approach over the past few projects is the perfect example of managing the opening of a new attraction. Benefits with both the consumer expectation and assists with the operational transition.
-
I’d be surprised if they’re considering new capital spend on a 4th attraction so soon. There is already a lot either on the go or in commencement between WOZ, Scooby and Flash. Also all projects that have likely increased from their original capital expenditure position. Not to mention VRTP is long overdue for an AOS refresh (when you consider the typical life of past shows) and WB showcase would be reaching the end of its term?

New North Pole Float, London Float, Paris Float, Rome Float, Australia Float and New York Float. These were not just an opportunity to freshen up the offering as ‘Joy to the World’ but a long term strategy, operationally and logistically.

I believe you’ll find that some of the floats that are being put out on display are slowly being decommissioned as prop pieces. This is part of an ongoing improved safety approach for the parade. Floats like the Polar Express are the old school, wide berth floats with limited turning availability in comparison to the new slim based floats that have steering capabilities within the float unit. The top of Main Street and the Stars/Department store corner have always proven to be challenging for the larger, older floats. Certainly has nothing to do with staffing, if anything those that have been retired have been replaced with new units.
