So I’m going to answer the question with a product I’d actually like to see in the park and that is proper dining... Australia has some of the best food in the world and yet our parks are terrible. All our major parks should have real dining options where you can sit at a table and eat a meal. Not the slap dash efforts that are currently on offer. People visit parks in the US just to at and for no other reason. Sea World used to have an a la carte restaurant with broadwater views. They half ran it and eventually turned it into ultimately jellyfish. A restaurant like that should be able to stand on its own, open for lunch every day and dinner in the evenings with a spectacular menu. So yeah for me a big lift in food would be top of the list. It’s also a revenue stream. Id also say another product I’d like is entertainment that’s actually good but that’s too long of a post than I have the energy for.

5. Slingshot that thing does a mint trade during schoolies

Well better than it being nothing. Mans seems most of society today is more concerned with where they can get a coffee than where they can see entertainment anyway.

Probably yet another thing deemed too much of a hazard by our now overactive government. Pretty sure it will be rough to ever see a good theme park experience built again with the way they want to be post Dreamworld.

You wouldn’t replace the neon sign because in case everyone doesn’t realize Rick’s Cafe is actually a reconstruction of something from Casablanca and that’s why it’s never been changed. So the small sign makes sense.

So I don’t work for VTP so not sure what their lineup of shows has to do with audio on a ride at dreamworld. But thanks for your juvenile attempt of trying to call someone out on a theme park forum thinking they know something personally about them that you actually don’t. But you didn’t say the sound was above it’s weight and could be better you said “brilliant” “amazing” and “Disney quality” You affirmed those comments by prefacing the by saying you are a self proclaimed expert on the mater. Is the sound adequate? Maybe. But that’s far from what you described.

It’s time to get a new hobby entirely or stop calling yourself a buff because the rides audio system is anything but Brilliant. It’s harsh, lacks punch or fidelity. There is a huge absense or bottom end also. As for the soundtrack, I found it weak, detached, and definitely lacking of any emotion whatsoever. Frankly I’m shocked at your comments about the same attraction I rode. I think the whole system has SOO much potential to be amazing but the audio is 100% one or its weakest links. To say score is Disney quality would be like saying a Micro droves like a Ferrari... incredibly off bass.

If AALARA are going to make that kind of call, they should immediately be posting what they say ARE the facts

There is more to this than “needs a seatbelt”. Their legislation is stating that if the primary locking system fails the redundant locking system cannot allow the harness to open to any degree (say a few cms till the seat belt catches). So you need a fully redundant primary locking system, like say two hydraulic cylinders... given we have this on all our park rides I think it’s completely fair enough. Particularly when in these sorts of rides the harness is the only think keeping you in. If you look at Rivals say, it has 3 locking systems. Two hydraulic systems and the seatbelt.

I haven’t been on it or watched any videos but if a pre ride video is long enough that you need to sit down or get comfortable then it’s too long. -here’s where you go -here’s where you put your crap -here’s how you sit in your seat Thats literally all the video should be.

I had the opposite thought the more I hear about it.

It’s times like this I say we need MORE regulation of what you’re allowed to build along the Broadwater for once. That shed looks like an eyesore.

Should have sent this guy over when they handed in the paperwork

This guy! @pushbutton The AOS kitchens are large...large enough to finish cook meals and plate them for 1012 people simultaneously. They have ZERO prep cook space or facilities at all. Why? Because they have a purpose built prep kitchen at Movie World. It cannot function without it. Having said that Stars has existed with food service since AOS opened. The serving area at Stars is actually a facade, built in front of the old kitchen/service area which was much larger. So there is still plenty of room for a kitchen there. However I nearly fell over laughing at “Restaurant” and “Schnitz” in the same sentence. Come on, it’s a shopping centre mediocre fast food outlet at best.

I think you've seen it all before because every year even the 'new mazes' are just the same scares, tech, concept with a new overlay. The Overseas parks are really pushing the envelope now and evolving the product where as Movie Worlds product has kind of stagnated.

Looks like they’ll have a lovely stank mosquito invested park in no time there!

How about this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzBld7PHCUw

There is a special place in freak hell for those kind of people. What kind of soulless loser wants to steal a competition of a kid visiting a theme park

I mean does it really though? like it will be interesting to see what happens when the excitement wears off and someone goes and does a POV where they just sit and do nothing and it turns out it’s still a good ride experience. This is Disney don’t forget, they do tend to have a history of thinking of all these things well in advance and getting it right first go. Its an incredible ride system (and one not used outside of FL) so doesn’t surprise (or bother me) that’s it’s been used here. Unlike shoehorning guardians into the ToT ride system. The real game game changer will be when the second ride opens. With that and Pirates Shanghai I think Disney really will be able to again lay claim to having the best ride systems in the world. For me the the real winner is the droid in the cantina pulling lame Star Tours jokes 👍

So those doors were always of a design that the currently ‘missing’ part was a crash door so that if a car was to hit then they would swing open. I think they were magnetic. Looks like the crash part has been removed. I’d say thanks to Dreamworld Australia will be forever limited in what’s possible to do with rides.

Yeah to be fair those photos of west look pretty piss poor

Was a bit of a joke really TBH ...second half not so much though

I mean you’ve had Greg now in there running the place for what? Two weeks?? And we already see a decent event announced. Given he was one of the major driving forces behind how much Fright Nights has grown, could this be the beginning of some solid night even offerings at Dreamworld?

If I was a sponsor of an attraction, I wouldn’t want my name on it until it actually opens. Who wants to be publicly associated with disappointment and pay for the privilege at that!

Yeah I mean sure if we saw Serpent Slayer or Illuminazzi in their then forms today sure we’d likely all be a bit ‘meh’ but for the. Shit! If we could get investment back up to that level in entertainment the parks would be rocking. You have to give some credit to the management types back then because who were a little less polish, a little more cowboy in that they just wanted cool shit in their little Aussie parks. ...also helps when the CEO has a chopper license too
