[@justinchavez9530]

As an American, I was always interested with the many different theme parks across Australia. Even though the country isn't loaded with parks, they do offer some world-class coasters (i.e. DC Rivals Hypercoaster, Steel Taipan, and The Big Dipper). I'm especially intrigued with Dreamworld, since they removed the Eureka Mountain Mine Ride and Buzzsaw. Despite having a rather "rocky" time over the last few years, we seen the park starting to improve at great speed. Dreamworld is starting to move into a stage where they're more focused on teenagers and adults compared to children and kids. Even though it's considered good news for some cases, it means that the park has let their ABC Kids World and other children's area to rot. It is a terrible sight to witness. Honestly, after adding Steel Taipan to their coaster lineup, I think that they should close ABC Kids World to give it some attention. Overall, Dreamworld is been doing an amazing job with all the struggles that they are facing with, and I look forward to see what's on the horizon.

[@colliric]

Buzzsaw is still in Australia, you can now ride it at Gumbuya World in Victoria, which is slowly expanding into a full Theme Park.

[@colliric]

Personally I think Dreamworld should do a proper deal with DreamWorks and rebuild their Children's area as a full on DreamWorks animation zone. The ABC children's licence is not as popular as it used to be.

[@justinchavez9530]

@@colliric Interesting idea

@@colliric there is no way you would choose Victoria over Queensland if you're flying over for theme parks and attractions though.

@@Gary86 Well G'day mate lol, I wouldn't say you didn't have much there back in very late 1981 and whole year of 1982 I mean you had rides + themed areas like: Thunderbolt, Grand Prix, Red Baron, Captain Sturt Paddle Wheeler, with the land Rivertown, Country Fair themed area opened with couple of rides including Thunderbolt as you know Also-Gum Tree Gully opened in the May of 82 And also 6 months before that when it opened it in very late 1981 it had-Main Street - Imax Theatre Central Station - Rocky Hollow City Hall - Log Ride + Captain Sturt Paddle Wheeler with Rivertown as I mentioned above Cannon Ball Express (now the Dreamworld Express) as you know..................................So the one your putting up was you in the Talent clip Have you ever been to the UK and if so when/where

[@Gary86]

Haven't been overseas yet. Was at Dreamworld yesterday it's not that great now, needs to be sold to a decent theme park operated. All the great attractions you mentioned have either been demolished or destroyed :( The IMAX is becoming a flying theater but they replaced the original Disney style facade with an out of place modern one. The train was replaced with a crappy tractor made up to look like a train. The log ride has ugly looking canopies on the logs and caves removed replaced with nothing and Gold Rush Country is now just a huge empty pile of dirt.
