Slick

I've always thought this too, particularly with raft slides. Surely there'd be a safe buffer area that regardless of weight would be safe thereafter to allow another raft down?

Fair guess given alot of Dreamworld's Q4U rides do this. Ahh, yep, just got my idiocy. /epicfacepalm So there's seperate queues for Fast track? Or do you just barge past everybody in the queue?

Well this is the first time i've heard of Fast Track, how strange there's no mention of it on their website until you hit the ticketing page. So $20 to get on any 5 rides? And how does that work? Do you just walk in through the exit?

Djrappa's on the money there. I'd love to see a compact spinner or a compact eurofighter take that space along with the space that the skylink/rapids water collection area has. I can imagine some of those vertical turns from the spinner going great in around those pathways. And as for the cinema, my suggestion would be for Digital IMAX to make an appearance. Considering that screen is now one of the smallest IMAX GT screens around, it would (at a guess) with minimal modification be upgraded back to IMAX, and by using IDF will mean their overheads for running the cinema will be greatly reduced while offering the park the flexibility to choose from a crapload of films and documentaries.

Now that the Dreamworld IMAX Cinema is even less relevent or interesting then it was before there's not much of an excuse left to close that combo structure and actually do something about it.

I'm super excited for this ride, but is there anyone else out there who's going to miss Bermuda Triangle too? The disappearing UFO and the flooding room were both two pretty awesome spectacles IMO.

Hold on, so there was a loose bolt sitting on a fence, thought the CEO should have been advised, and was surprised that later on it was gone?

This is actually quite a brilliant theme I must say. Worth knocking over a huge fibreglass mountain down and continuing to concentrate your guests into a small area of the park? Probably not. But all dumb management stuff decisions aside this will definitely be the most well decorated Zamperla Air Racer by far, and will continue a lineage of Dreamworks attractions in the park that are actually quite pleasant visually. Sure, not Disney, but definitely above and beyond what Six Flags/Cedar Fair would be doing.

By your logic is Tower of Terror a ride, too? Bruh tell me about it, huh. The internet is a rough place. Good thing there's a place for like minded people in similar predicaments.

Lol dude, some people take this stuff way too seriously. If this is your first time on the internet, welcome. Incase it escaped you, this is a forum about theme parks and having fun. Chillout bruh, k? thx. In other news, yeah the branding Panda-monium is probably the best thing about the ride. And they've been circulating that around for a while now too from memory.

And this is why we can't have nice things.

Get a job. Seriously though, when I was at Disneysea earlier in the year, when it came to food & bev they had the formula right. While charging a higher then normal rate for things like popcorn or dumplings or even soda, the fact that they offered speedy, convenient, clean and most importantly novel and atypical food that's special to the park makes the higher rate very easy to justify. And to be fair, while I strongly disagree with charging extra for drinks in a "meal", Movie World do have their finger on the money in terms of charging customers a premium for a premium experience which is what it's ultimately all about. What I do have a problem is when I walk into 4 different food & bev outlets at another gold coast park, and my offerings are the same fried crap, microwaved pizzas or $10 truck stop salad sandwiches in every one. Here's a quick formula that I think is accurate: Premium Park + Premium Price + Premium/Unique F&B Experience to compensate for Premium Price without raising cost = Epic Profit/CSR

Run, not walk, to X2. And while you're at it, take a crack at their reverse freefall coaster (Superman) and have a lol at Dreamworld at how much better it is when it's run at full speed.

Holy crap batman! Then it must be true.

That's the one. See, I totally get that it's thrilling and that jazz, but we're putting a ride in a kid's area and calling it a thrill ride when there's other rides in the park that are either as thrilling (Rapids Ride) or invert (Reef Diver). What i'm getting at is counting it as a big 8 thrill ride to push your return on investment and stretch your advertising dollar seems to be a very silly thing to do.

A Sky Fly this isn't. Definitely a Zamperla Air Race. This is barely, barely a major attraction. If this counts as a "big 8 thrill ride", then the Reef Diver and River Rapids count to by comparison alone. Looking forward to Dreamworld advertising this as an epicly huge ride and then watching Dreamworld's CSR quickly plummet when people realise it isn't.

Quoted for truth. Clutching straws, Dreamworld? Pretty sure MDMC was when Dreamworld jumped the shark.

I love that we're the internet's most sarcastic theme park forum and we're also Australian. It's so fitting, stereotypically.

I heard they were working on heaps of Australian projects. Aren't they doing Dreamworld's new ride too?

Icing on the cake would be keeping the main volcano and rejoining that gas line.

"We have the technology, not even possible 3 years ago..." Wait, dafuq? What kind of line is that?

My nostalgic hard-on tends to make me bat for Lethal Weapon's China Town exteriors, look and atmosphere, which I think fit more comfortably with the Movie World I personally came to know and love. Beyond that though, Arkham Asylum is such a killer investment. My experience was that it was the perfect rehash/upgrade of a ride that wasn't getting much love from guests. And the new trains are so ridiculously great that the load/unload and the brief leg crushing are at best, minor details to a ride that's got way more lasting power then it ever did before, despite how awesome that old Lethal Weapon Cinema, the queue, and everything came with the Lethal Weapon theme was. If there was a parallel universe where saving Lethal Weapon or Police Academy was at all a possibility, I'd pick Police Academy any day of the week. The new Arkham Asylum is just better overall.

Is WhiteWaterWorld even considered a competitor these days? This looks seriously great.

Americans. Always trying to one up Australian's by a few inches (that's what she said.)
