Dreamworld set to introduce 'exit levy'
Gold-Coast carnival Dreamworld today announced plans to introduce a new fee for guests wishing to leave the park. The fee, which will help the park raise "much needed" funds, is expected to be $70 for adults, $60 for children (under 1) and $90 for seniors, who Dreamworld say can afford "to shell out the extra dough". Annual passholders will be entitled to a 10% discount on the fee.
At today's press conference, Dreamworld CEO Steven Gregg said revenue raised from the exit levy will go towards "a few new trash cans" for the park and "a new Porsche for me".
Dreamworld fanboys are delighted at the plans, and believe the public won't mind having to pay "a few extra dollars to help out the park".
"This is a great idea," said a fanboy, who wishes to remain nameless. "Dreamworld are really getting creative, aren't they? Kudos to them".
Although Dreamworld fans are content with the scheme, others aren't so enthusiastic, with some calling it "the beginning of the end for Dreamworld", although some argue that happened when they installed Cyclone.
Dreamworld say the scheme will be implemented before the year's end.
