Welcome, @coaster_roaster! With the news about Universal, you’ve joined at an exciting time.

My experience is that both Movie World and Dreamworld can be very quiet on weekdays in term time, with most rides walk-on. Just don’t expect two-train ops, and check the list of rides closed for maintenance. For example - Scooby Doo is currently closed for a multi-year refurb.

This takes me back!

Put the kettle on and settle in: Defunctland have made a 40-minute documentary on the history of The Wiggles dark ride at Dreamworld:

If the original RollerCoaster Tycoon has taught me anything, it’s that unless you demolish the station, it’s considered the same ride.

That's a great interview. As mentioned above, we rarely saw a peep out of the former park leadership team - so this is a real breath of fresh air. I hope we see some more openness like this throughout the season. For the people who have described Bianca's answers as too "corporate", being as...

Excited to introduce the Prufrock Coffee Scale™, rating the price and quality of theme park coffee around the world.

DC Rivals is great!

Brilliant news. I went to Dreamworld for the first time a couple of months ago - it’s a lovely park and more investment will go a long way.

Never forget!
