If you’re not grabbing yourself a Dagwood Dog and then seeing how long you can keep it down for at some of the rides at the #ekka are you even trying? 😂 I went yesterday and it was a superb time. Might even pop back again this week to get some long exposures. Are you going this year? #brisbane #bne #brisbaneshowgrounds #amusementrides #queensland

Vale John Longhurst.
The Australian theme park community has lost an icon today. John was more than just the creator of Dreamworld, he was the inventor of multiple wildly successful businesses, he was a family man (his grandkids meant the world to him) and he was a kind, giving friend to those who knew him well.

In the case of Dreamworld, John built Dreamworld (family in tow) with his literal bare hands, and despite the naysayers, opened a thriving world of escapism that still exists over four decades later.

If you’d like to learn more about John’s legacy, our three part series is the internet’s best source for learning about John and how we built one of Australia’s most iconic businesses.

If there’s anything John taught me, it was to believe in myself. He’s why I’m doing an MBA as we speak to follow in his footsteps. I’ll cherish his legacy, his advice and his friendship until the day I die.

“A little bit different and a little bit better.”

Work has re-commenced on Leviathan at @seaworldaus - it’s easily one of Australia’s most beautiful coasters, made even more elegant by its proximity to the water. The station and queue shade (theming?) has finally made an appearance, with the build gathering pace for its Easter opening.

Steel Taipan might be the new kid on the block, but DC Rivals Hypercoaster is still the OG. Both are brilliant coasters, but it’s tough to match the amount of truly “wow” moments Rivals has up its sleeve. Here’s to a long summer of enjoying both. 🍻
