Brad2912 3,515 Report post Posted May 4, 2012 That's what they get for poor new ride choices, nothing new at WWW for years and buying Skypoint which was a dodgy buy to begin with (no repeat business and only overpriced coffee and cake once you get up there) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazza 2,068 Report post Posted May 4, 2012 ^I don't think DW have been that bad in recent times actually (Though I think Shockwave was $2 Mil or so they just didn't need to spend) and I think Dreamworks should do well for them. WWW I think has been allowed to languish a bit though...They were always going to be WnWs little brother right from the start, but geez, at least try.

aussienetman 94 Report post Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Dino land is at seaworld... Not owned by ardent. Unless u mean the attraction at seaworld won't bring the crowds in and they will flock to dw instead.. Dreamworld have the new dreamworks area, and seaworlds offering is spongebob parade, Dora show and dinosaurs... Ardent appear to be blaming wet weather on poor attendance...
