But why?

They sell indivual tickets to each park, so they should all be for a good standard on their own.

If for example, Movie World was of world class theme park and everything about it was perfect (remeber this is hyperthetical), but Sea World, Wet 'n' Wild and Paradise Country were all awful, falling apart and had nothing to offer that doesn't mean it's okay because they are 'whole' because they all have the same owner.

Obviously that's exadurating things a little, but just because Village operate four parks doesn't mean they can all be mediocare because together that doesn't make them great.

In the case of Coast Entertainment, yes they have less properties/gates, but if DW was great and WWW was awful, that doesn't make it okay. Obiviosuly their main focus has been on DW to past few years, but that is their 'hero' park and it needed it. I'd hope from next year (once Rivertown is complete) they look back at WWW and expand the park so it's attraction count can have a good boost.

In both instances, the parent companies definitley shift their focus in investment year to year because they don't necessarily have the financies to invest into them all at once and that's okay (if they don't let the other parks fall in quality, while their main focus in on another park). Village for example spent 2016-2017 investing in MW (Doomsday & Rivals), their focus shifted to SW from 2019 to 2022 for The New Atlantis, and now it has shifted back to MW with Flash, Wizard of Oz, Scooby, etc. But I'd argue while they were focusing on SW, they lost sight of MW and it has shown, meaning they are now trying to play catch up.

That is definitely true. In this case however, I have been comparing DW and MW, not SW. I must agree on you though, as WWW needs new rides, and perhaps a redesign of fully 6 after the accident. With wedgie and the two main slides from fully 6 SBNO, there is a lot of potential for a new area. I personally feel that after the opening of Rivertown, the remaining thunderbolt plot should be given to WWW, and if that is not possible, then the old flowrider and trolls village site should become a part of WWW, as i don't see DW using the area again anytime soon. The only problem with that would be the location of the Gold Coaster's enterance. SW has been recieving some much needed TLC and is looking really good, however after WoZ is completed, Village should focus their attention on Wet'n'Wild, with the park loosing both SurfRider and Aqualoop within the past two years, they need to at least focus on cleaning up the park, as it is beginning to show it's age again. Overall I feel like Coast is doing a better job at balencing upkeep and developing than Village is.

saw your video this morning. theming looks good. Murrisippi motors is also coming along well. the website has not updated the reopening date for the ride, so vintage cars may possibly reopen one more time, but it is still debatable. overall i think dreamworld will definitely be able to bounce back with this. I have passes to both Dreamworld and Movieworld and Dreamworld is gaining visitors at a faster rate than MW. Overall I feel like more people are anticipating Rivertown than Wizard of Oz land, most likely due to the fact that Dreamworld has been doing more development than MW over recent years, with Movieworld's last Big development aside from Flash/Woz being DC Rivals (I may be mistaken though).

After the removal of Buzzsaw, the whole area between the fairy shop and the taipan entrance signage is a dead zone. Whatever they're doing, I hope they make it more relevant again.

Yeah that’s true

[Dreamworld Gold Rush Country General Store update]

After taking a trip to Dreamworld This arvo, I’ve noticed that the general store has been gated off, and I was wondering if anyone knew what’s happening over there. The interior has been gutted from what I can see (pictures below), and I reckon there’s a possibility of a retheme or redecorating. Let me know your thoughts please.

I can't see it closing permanently, it's too popular. Maybe they could be renovating some area's aswell as some new trains? As man those trains they have on it are so squishy.

oh boy how wrong you were. I wish that was the case but its long gone, which is really sad

Where’d you find that one video. Even if it’s shaky I’d love to take a look myself.

 

I found it on YouTube, it had the thunderbolt as its thumbnail and search up something like old dreamworld footage with super 8mm mine ride video.

[Dreamworld post Rivertown - Whats next?]

More of a wish list than anything, but either way:

2024: reopening of the billabong restaurant
2025-2027: new Steamboat ride, considering Rivertown is making a comeback, and maybe a motor coaster re theme.

2028-2030: Re Develop Blue Lagoon. It would be great to have this classic area back would it not be?

2030-2032: New Rollercoaster in the old Thunderbolt area.

 

 

wish-list that will never happen but I’m saying it anyway.

 

remake Eureka Mountain Mine Ride:

remake Wiggles World:  

bring back Buzzsaw, maybe under a new name:

bring back Tower Of Terror:

bring back wipeout:

Bring back the bush ranger show:

Does anyone have any pov footage of the Eureka Mountain Mine Ride at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast? If so, it would be greatly appreciated if you could send it to me as I have looked everywhere and only found one very shaky video.
