Awesome photos @Glubbo thanks for sharing. Looking at these photos, I just can't believe how much the park has changed and I look forward to seeing the photos you have from MW. Definitely one of the biggest things I miss from this period was the Vintage Cars old location. They were just so much more awesome and popular in that location.

Great photos @Glubbo great to see how much the park has improved. Quite a few ot your photos are interesting to me, specifically the ones from Cyclone (HWSW) and from it’s que area since I had never been to the Dreamworld before WWW, Flowrider and Kevil hill were built, (I was still a baby) I am so used to the HWSW weaving through the slide tower and the area as whole being a bit more full. Another thing I noticed was the shark in Wipeout’s pool. I have always known that Wipeout had a shark in the water and that it was removed due to the drought and them emptying the pool to save water but this is the first picture I have seen with the shark. Can someone please tell did the shark move around or bob in and out of the water, etc or was it stationary? Thanks again Glubbo for the pictures, I really can not wait to see your pictures of Movieworld.

Thanks for the nice words. Yeah the shark was on a circular underwater track. It just did circles under the ride.

Thanks for these! Skull and entry was so much better "out front". I also want to make that vintage car station in Planet Coaster now :D

 

Please do! Wish I had some creativity in that game but it seems after 100+ hours all I do is build massive coasters haha.

Interesting to see

ALI BABA, CHAOS & SCORPION operating at the park, I never knew that happened.... all three rides are operating, although I think Chaos lives up in the NT now.

Ali baba is in horrible condition, and Scorpion can be found here and there, especially down at Rye every summer with Wittingslow.

thanks for the photos!

...and over a series of three [merged] posts, Movie World visit December 10, 2005.


Entry:

Final touches on Superman Escape, yet to open. No Batwing, no Green Lantern.

Construction fencing up. Hard to see, but Arkham Tower just a building facade, not a 'spire'.

Lethal Weapon:

One of LW's trains, as at 2005.

Very different WWF boats paint job than they have today.

 

Part Two: Matrix Action Show:

Story is the cops corner Trinity, who fights them, until three Agents arrive, and capture her. Neo arrives, and there's a fight until Neo had an Agent, but 'Smith' has Trinity. The fight continues, and Neo helps Trinity escape, but stays to fight Smith. Neo obviously wins.5ab8a7447150e_MW10SHOW.thumb.jpg.ec1285859729fb71098f42543a5ba984.jpg

This view is great as you look at photos over the years. Today you can see: Superman Escape, Batwing and DC Rivals. Unsure if GL too, off the top of my head.

End of the day, Superman escape did a few test cycles.
