Hurricane Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Well it seems that Australia is getting Q-bot finally! There has been talks about it for a while but it's finally come to fruition. "LONDON (ShareCast) - Theme park queue system specialist Lo-Q has agreed a one year trial of its VQ2020 system with the Australian Theme Park, Dreamworld. Dreamworld is located in Coomera, Queensland. The Park will be running the system from 15 December 2008 and it will allow virtual queuing on the park's major attractions. Lo-Q's systems are currently deployed in 8 Six Flags Parks throughout the USA, Dollywood in Tennessee, USA and Legoland Windsor. "Dreamworld is an important step for Lo-Q. It illustrates that our system is truly international and can be deployed anywhere in the world quickly and efficiently," Lo-Q's Sales Director, Colin Robertson commented" Link: http://uk.biz.yahoo.com/081201/214/ibhjx.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 So you get to get on Dreamworld's mostly lame rides faster, I would have much preferred this at Movie World. It will interesting to see how people in the regular queue react to people getting on before them, this is relatively alien to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanlv Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 ^I agree with everything you said. Dreamworld = mostly lame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 I wonder if they would even bother putting this on the Wipeout or not. I mean that ride in peak season only generates a wait of around 15 - 20 minutes due to it's high capacity. I think this will have mixed reactions with the General Public and no doubt the Season Pass holders will probably be having a whinge about it in coming weeks if they have to pay for it.

downunder Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 It will be interesting to see how much they charge for it? The thought of going to that park does not excite me at all. I'll be in Brissie later in the month but I won't go anywhere near Dreamworld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 This would really have no use.....like said before, most rides average a 20 minute or less wait, and with small ride options....why bother?! Unless you want to marathon Giant Drop -JZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 In the summer season this would be a good idea. Rides like the Giant Drop, Cyclone, Tower of Terror, Motocoaster, Log Ride and the Rapids will generate lines of up to a hour at least. However rides like the Claw and Wipeout probably won't need them as they only get to 20 - 30 mins MAX in the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I'm surprised they are not making it only available during peak periods because that place can get so dead when it's quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 I wouldn't be suprised if that happens to be honest. It hasn't been officially announced by the park yet that it is happening. But Lo-Q have confirmed it so I guess we will just have to wait and see now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
