Nice to see some action on this one. Keep the photos coming as it comes along

Any further news on what is happening with this one? When will it be built?

Richard I assume you work for Dreamworld PR?

Myk....nice to see someone is starting to adopt "footings" rather than "footers". Footers is an American thing...we are in Australia people!!

The word is "footings" stop saying "footers" it drives me crazy!!

I made a post yesterday about the same thing (however I can't find it now so maybe I imagined it?). I agree totally that Dreamworld was better back then. However, when you look at what the general public are after these days the park is probably exactly what they want. They don't care too much about the themed parts, they just want to go on rides....and that is what Dreamworld has. In my oppinion tho it started to fall appart around the time of the TOT. I have such fond memories of the place from when I was a kid....back then my favourite ride was the red barron!!

Compare the area that the new water park is going and the area between Blue Lagoon and BB house! Heaps of room if they wanted to put it there. Oakey creek would be a bigger obsticle than the BB house.

What the hell has it got to do with Big Brother?

The probalem with Dreamworld, I believe stems from when they started going away from the original themed areas. The park was orignally planned out to have separate themed areas which had a distinct beginning and end. They then started blending these areas together which (at least IMO) made the park loose some of its charator. Having said this I tend to think they did the right thing. The themed areas that thay had originally would seem a bit lame to the young folk of today. So they had to do something and good on them!! Unfortunatley there is (or at least was) no real overall master plan. Therefore things just keep getting added basically where ever they can fit them within the existing perimeter of the park. I think Dreamworld is great. I think this for many reason (most of them semi emotional for me)...I have been a Dreamworld fan since before it was even open. So I am not knocking them....but I can see why most of you think it is poorly planned and I can see why it has become so.

So Matt...do you work at Dreamworld?

What gives you the idea that Dreamworld is running out of land?
