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.

LOL. Check out the front page of Australian Theme Park News. Ash has come back with a real lameass 'funny' article of his own. *rolls eyes*
And just in case the lame dickhead takes it down, here it is cut & pasted:
We're On Australian Amusement Lowdown
Friday, 15 June 2007
Australian Theme Park News has been added on Australia's leading theme park website, Australian Amusement Lowdown.
The site has now started to update their site since the owner has just received bail from a Victorian jail.
In recent years, the owner of the site has been charged with many different things, some including, Posting Rubbish News and Polluting The Internet. As well as Posting Without Due Care.
Their site has been growing a lot lately, with the sites visitor count climbing to just over 10. The owner said "The site should reach a total of 15 visitors by the end of next year."
And here is a screen capture of the site as further proof:

Burn in hell, you fucking sack of shit, Ash.
It's all in good nature. I've said many times that I find this site funny, even when it has goes at myself and the site.
I was "trying" to have a go at this site, in good nature. What's wrong with that?
Oh, fuck off. It's obvious you've taken personal offense at someone having a go at your site for being the complete piece of shit that it is. Your article wasn't remotely funny nor was it clever. Your photos suck, your meetup page is a fucking joke and you should give yourself an uppercut! You LOSER. Quit while you're behind; don't try to be funny. Shouldn't you be spending time on a MySpace page or in a ballet hall? Dickwad.
I don't like the site. Why is it in one of our links?
I do like the site, It's even in my favs.
I mean I don't dis-like the site.
You've only just made it a link. It wasn't before. You fucking liar.
LAME IN EVERY WAY.
Same with your site which tries to reinvent the wheel but fails; your articles are neither insightful nor entertaining in any way.
How does it feel to fail at life?
It feels pretty good actually.
Hah.
But yeah, Ash, you fucking suck.
Okay, well if you take offence to this story, I'm sorry.
All along this was only a joke. My purpose was to do what this site does everyday. Which is to take the piss out of other theme-park sites.
I've noted on the story too, that it's only a joke.
I'm sure you'll swear at me again, because I know most of you want the last word, so please, go ahead. Give-It-To-Me.
calm down here.
think of the children.
Ash you're a pansy.
You took personal offence, don't deny it you lying sack of shit.
You say it was a joke to cover your weak & pale asshole.
You did NOT link to AAL before I started giving you the dressing down that you deserve.
You know what, you should join the Army. Gun in hand fighting for your life, that would make a man out of you. But no. You don't have the cajones.
Anonymous. Talk about guts. You won't even show your name.
No, I just couldn't be bothered logging in. You're the gutless wonder.
I dare you to grow a pair and ring 13 19 01 and see about joining the Defence Force ... or are you too good/afraid to fight for your country?
Swipe the clippers across your head & join the Army. It'll make a man out of you. Or keep on living your life hitting the theme parks and publishing lame articles. Once you have that gun in your hand and you're fighting for your country & your life, that'll be a landmark moment.
And before you say about me doing it myself, I'm actually in the Air Force as a systems specialist.
I'd say join the Air Force but you probably don't have the mental drive. Navy might suit you though, you'd probably love being in those sailor suits.
systems specialist - Wow, Cool. You're a fighter.
And I'm not wanting to join the army. I'm currently going through studies to become a police officer.
Let's stop with acting like kids. What's done is done. This silly name calling is only making you look like a kid, not me.
I actually served in the infantry of the Army for six years & am actually going to move up to be pilot. That's why I haven't been doing systems work for ages because I'm going through flight training.
Police officer? Haha you only say that now and not earlier. You're good at coming up with tall tales aren't you? And if that's true, you're probably going to do something like desk work or elect to work in some country town where nothing really happens.
You're a weakling and a dick.
You're acting like a kid not me.
Shave your head, you don't have the guts.
And before you say "Oh, you're only training to be a cop, that's nothing."
I want to say this. You can't be a cop at 15 years old. I'm doing legal studies and TAFE.
And be proud of this one thing. A 15 year old can stay more cool then a grown man.
Subject Closed.
No for real I want to become a police officer.
Ask anyone who knows me. I'm not going to hide it, I really do want to become one.
Read my last post again, you fucko. And realise the pathetic ottom-of-my-shoe common muck that you are.
Any of your gay friends would lie for you, don't deny it... who wouldn't lie for their friend to back them up in an argument?
That you do ballet - a fact you haven't denied since I mentioned it - shows what an incredibly alternate and effeminate character you are. Boys play football...boxing.. wrestling. Not freaking...ballet.
Shave your head.
And I want to become a police officer wherever they put me.
You get to pick three places, I'll pick Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
C'mon. Let's not fight. You've said what you want to say, and I've said mine. We don't need to agree. Heck, Life's too short for this.
*Shakes Dan's Hand*
I said that just in case you say to me that I'm not yet a police officer.
Knowing how you act, I was sure you would have asked that.
Show you have the guts to shave your head then you'll have my respect.
But no, you probably like going to those salons too much or at least too afraid to give it a go.
Look, How did this turn into me joining the army and whatnot.
Great, you're in the army. I respect you. Doing a good job for Australia.
I want to become a cop and I don't want to shave my head or go into ANY gay bars. I don't want to join the navy.
Look, You can carry on all night, or we can end this. I'm not asking for a sorry, but at least we can agree-to-disagree.
You "man" enough for it?
You're too chickenshit to shave your head. Why don't you do it and get friends to make a donation to a charity. Or are you too selfish?
Who said anything about gay bars? You just continue to make shit up. Lamer.
"But no, you probably like going to those salons too much or at least too afraid to give it a go."
And you were saying I'm gay.
So I just guessed you were talking about gay bars.
I can't shave my head. Mainly because my school won't let me.
In the army, Don't they teach you to keep your cool? It's called self control, use it one day.
So, ask their permission. You could just go #2 or something in the holidays and your hair will grow back. But you're too much of a scaredy-cat.
It's not just about keeping cool but channeling the aggression into something worthy and pointing out that you should enlist is mine.
You could join cadets too.
C'MON. JOIN. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
And employees regard Defence Force experience very highly. It'll help with your so-called 'aspirations' to be a cop.
Yep... the Defence Force... a great life for a young man.
I do get number 2's.
And I don't join cadets because I wish to become a cop, not in the army.
Let's just end this. I'm not asking for you to forgive me or anything, just so we can agree-to-disagree.
I hate you so much.
Hey, it is Daniel, long time no see. Hows things holding out for you buddy?
How do you think, you DICK?
Wow, what a harsh statement.
On the good ship lollipop
Deedeedee
And the Giant Drop
Dum DIDTY DIDTY DEEE
Oh you do #2's? then do a #1 buzz all over. It's a week's difference.
lol nice story.
ajdks;1
You shave your head too. Or are you also too chicken?
Ash, you are the biggest retard in the history of anything, period.
Even though you don't need to be intelligent to be a cop, you probably wouldn't make the cut anyway.
Omg whats with the army thing this has happened before on this site, some douche telling people to go to the army how about YOU harden the fuck up and YOU join the army instead of telling others to do it too make you look tough. Also ASH why must you insist on stealing ideas for every FUCKING themepark site? you stole roller-coasters look and now your trying to do a cheap imitation of AAL and you are failing miserably.
Can't you read? You're the douche. I served in the infantry for six years and am training to be a pilot in the Air Force. So shave your head and sign up!
But... I do agree with you, Ash is a fucking lame copycat dick who needs to get a gun in his hand, his duty bound to something other than hitting rides and copying other people's hard work. If he is worth anything to anyone, he needs to let his civilian life behind & go to basic training.
13 19 01. Ring it Ash, it'll make a man out of you and your parents will be proud.
Ring 132629
you be a bald infantry grunt yourself
OORAH
Who cares about this army argument, its going away from the real issue: how much of tool that Ash kid is.
I've been thinking. I might join the ARMY after all.
I'm still thinking about it.
So Daniel, who's turn is it to drop the soap down at the barracks tonight?
Hey everyone, check out our new splash page www.dreamnova.com
The splash page looks good. I can't wait until the whole site is up.
Why, so you've got another site to copy off?
Dreamnova? More like Dreamnever.
But yeah, Ash, you're a fucking lousy copying son of a bitch and total coward. Talk about having no spine... give yourself an uppercut & that #1 lad.
Stop making fun of people with spina bifia
I'M NOT. SHAVE YOUR HEAD YOU SACK OF SHIT. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGHHH. GRUNT MAGGOTS, YOU SHOULD ALL JOIN THE ARMY AND BE MEN NOT PANSIES.
Fucking bahahaha dreamever, that was horribly, I do agree with it but bahaha
Ash, fuck u remind me of someone I know... You let everyone walk over you, harden the fuck up and fight back u cunt.
These people want me to fight back.
I'm not giving these people what they want.
Cowardly cock. Grow a pair!
And where's that #1? Humble yourself, you'll find it a rewarding experience.
"Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. *bashes mic* Yep. Ummmmmmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm. Okay and umm...like... Okay and umm...like..."
Give up, Ash, you're fucking shit & so is your site. Anything you stand for's anti-quality; everything you stand for's crap... anything you stand for's anti-quality; everything you stand for's crap!!!
And stop fucking spamming your site, knob. You ARE don't try to deny it, you're just trying to sneak cheap plugs for your site because you're hungry for hits. Weak lousy little runt!
I'm a soft c*k who'll never get laid and I run a sucessful theme park site, its awesome. Hey guys, you ever been to Australianthemeparknews.com before, its awesome. You should check out the forum, someone made a post there a couple of months back and I know everyones gonna love my site after a suck some rando Jamberoo guy off for an interview with him. You're all wrong, my mum says I'm cool.
That's not me.
Any smart person would know because... All my other posts have my name Blue, and yours isn't.
Nice try, but No...
Lol, dickhead, the point of that was to pay you out not make people think it was you. You really are a D.C... that's 'dumb cunt' if you're your usual slow self today.
That interview fucking sucked [and you suck at doing this kind of thing too; wow, another thing you're untalented at, who'd have thunk?] half the questions were lame & you could tell the guy was tolerating you out of just wanting a bit of extra publicity.
COCK!
I'm starting to think you're really gay...
P.S. I had a cold yesterday. But, I felt crappy.
I really can do good interviews. I've interviewed Jimmy Barnes and the Inner Circle lead singer.
fucking bullshit!
Yeah, but he just said "umm" and "yep" the whole time.
Hey Daniel, are you the same Daniel that got sacked from WL?
Nup, I'm not.
Haha you're good with the bullshit, Ash, maybe you should be a...umm... journalist for Today Tonight or something...umm, yep ;)
God, you're so pathetic; I would be fed up but actually find it amusing. So that's the only reason we laugh; it's not at your WIT, it's at YOU...
You will never amount to anything as long as you go through life believing your own bullshit & thinking what you do actually matters. Word to the wise: you're a waste of space & the sooner you recognize that the better.
The truth, Ash, it hurts doesn't it? Still yet to hear your apparently shit interview, can't wait. Do you ask the pressing questions like, "So how much does it cost to go to the park"?
Yes. If you're going to interview someone and they give you their time at least be prepared and sound professional.
Full marks to the Jamberoo Manager, he conducted himself perfectly but Ash's interviewing is the biggest joke I've ever heard.
See all this, Ash?
You're regarded as a total JOKE.
*lol*

Lol at the age of 15, 100% of Australian coaster enthusiasts hate you, how does that make you feel??????
Pretty shit I assume thus no response lately
The kid will probobly do something stupid now, after all he is a mid teenager, lol.
Lol the kid has topped himself as I've heard no response lately.
RIP Ash, where's your grave so I can spit on it?
Ash's MSN is ash.1111@hotmail.com for those who want to mock him on that...
LOL. Check out the thread about the two shopping centre appearances of a Big Brother chair/random ex-Housemates. This absolute minger, James, posts his photos from going (him being the one with the mustache) *shudder* I'll be having nightmares tonight.
Here's my message to him:
"That cousin of yours looks familiar. Has he been on TV?
And LOL at this whole thread.
A chair and Z-Grade celebrities making appearances for those too povvo to make it up to Queensland's Dream World.
Congratulations, James. You don't just look like someone straight of the pages of a comic book but you also look extremely inbred and criminal.
Bet the mall was playing the Deliverance theme that afternoon.
Andrew looks absolutely thrilled to be meeting with a MINGER like you.
But some credit must go to you I guess for posting a photo when you look like that.
You're definitely the type that goes around spitting in public, sneezing over people and wearing your Sunday best footy shorts & going about barechested with your jelly rolls quaking with every step of your not-in-the-slightest-bit-elegant bare feet - bare because, you know, that's fashionable in Hicksville, NSW or wherever you're from."

I have also submitted this guy James to Hotornot.com ... I'm sure he'll be a hit with the ladies. Will post the link here soon.
In Frankness,
Brad Crenshaw
I think he took the "Mo-vember" idea too far. He is a total bogan.
Haha yeah. In short, he truly does look like a house mate... should audition...
I'd be keen to see photos of members of the rest of his family, they must all be a bunch of fuglys.
Hey Brad, why dont you post a pic of yourself and prove you arent a minger?
Fair play, mate, I have nothing to hide.

Lol, I love this blog!!!!
4.9 at the moment? He better enjoy that position while it lasts.
Such a fucking minger.
Why hasnt said anything about dreamworld_rulzs photos. only one person said something and that was LOL which was the nicest way of saying fucking bahahahaha!
Hahaha, he is a fucking minger, but I don't hate the guy like I hate that tool Ash kid. Speaking of which has anyone got any pictures of Ash we can put on that Hot or Not site?
there's one on his RC profile.............
No there isnt.
Hey guys, just letting you know we have finally added more content to our website, another splash page in style that rips off an iPhone advertisement. Check it out
http://www.dreamnova.com/
Even that page with absolutely nothing on it still beats Ash's joke of a website.
Ash is such a pussy, step up. He was scared he was going to a be rated a not so he took his photo of his profile. If he has any balls he'll put his photo back up.
You mean "off" his profile.
100th comment.
Woah this reincarnation of AAL lived and died pretty quickly...hooray for websites that dont get updated.
Forums of Zen Coaster are back up and I am in Los Angeles with Zen Coaster's California staff. This week we will be hitting all the parks like Magic Mountain, Knott's, Disney etc, then we all leave to go over to the TPR Midwest Trip with Cedar Point etc. So as of tomorrow, our forums will be regularly updated with trip reports containing HI-DEF & Mini-DV footage plus stills media and general report.
http://www.zencoaster.com/connect/
Tomorrow's update...Six Flags Magic Mountain! About time I got to ride Tatsu so I'm pumped ... and it'll cost me only $10 too thanks to a coupon.
Why did spotty get banned from R-C?
tony i would bet all the money in the world that none of that crap you mentioned above in that totally out of place and shameless plug will EVER happen.
no one cares how much you pay to visit a theme park overseas. no one ever will either.
Yes you dooooooooo.
Haha that is so true, tony seems to always promise the world, but it never happesns
just a note, tony no one gives a fuck about how much of a dumb consumerist you are. you're always going on about how much money you spend on pointless shit and NO ONE CARES.
for example: "including our Midwest Trip shirts that we'd ordered; I have one in each colour - white/grey/black" (lucky you told us that you ordered one in each color)
"For all you potential burglars, this includes but isn't limited to:
Sony SR8 High-Definition Video Camcorder
Panasonic GS400 3CCD MiniDV Camcorder
Panasonic Lumix FZ-7 6MP Stills Camera
and the Panasonic Lumix FX-10 6MP Compact Stills Camera." (thanks. we get it. you're rich.)
i could go on as tony manages to plug his new purchases in nearly all of his posts online, as most of you have probably noticed.
THIS IS WHY NO ONE LIKES YOU TONY....oh and also coz u live with ur parents at 26
bahahahaha, oy why did spotty get banned of roller-coaster.com.au
for being the little wanker he normally is, duh!
Lol dreamworld rulz didnt get a job at wet.n.wild. thats a surprise by the way he looks, LOLOLOLOLOL
I have friends in both the WVTP and Dreamworld PR departments and apparently Ash has been annoying them no end with requests. It seems his shitty site is the new name in town for 'majorly obnoxious attempts at something resembling journalism'.
It is apparently getting to the stage where websites will uniformly be rejected from covering parks because the powers-that-be in those sections are sick of getting harrassed by a bunch of mainly teenaged twerps.
Ash needs to be driven out of this area or he's going to fuck things up for all of us.
Also check out the ridiculous size of his signature on TPR - truly plugging the crap out of the thing to score some cheap hits - what a fucker.
http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38591&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=390
hes a tossnut, fucking fag he is.
Oh Christ. I just saw the uploaded Mick Doohan Motocoaster test run footage by CoasterBoy on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkz-_S6Z6WI
Ashley has uploaded the footage under his own account for ATPN at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m28UCIkeqnU&watch_response
What the f---!?
and yes, Brad, my contacts at Movie World have mentioned that there's this annoying teenager hanging around looking for archival photos/footage and the like... I just contacted them about putting my new email on the contacts and yeah. *shakes head*
CoasterBoy8 gave me the ok to do that. And, I've thanked him in my post.
Do you have nothing better to do then just nit-pick everything I do?
I mean, get a life.
And what you say about the PR thing, would you give me their names, because I am on very good terms with them. Hence being invited to do a filming session at each major park, without even asking for anything like that.
The only time I asked about content was when I told them about atpnTV and said if there's any ads that they had, I would be happy to broadcast them. I've never once asked for videos and photos from them in any other cases.
I understand some of you may think the site sucks, and rightly so, I'll be the first to admit it needs work, and a lot of work to try and win over people from R-C and OzCoaster.
I would like to know why everyone has turned this website into a board about how bad me and my site is? I would like to work things out as I'm sick of people doing this to me. If you have a problem, be a man, and work it out directly with me.
ash.1111@hotmail.com
I look forward to hearing from you.
LOL ... which is why you have tried to pass off his work as yours on YouTube then had a go at him. What the hell is wrong with you, boy?
Wouldn't be the first time you'd ripped material and tried to claim it as your own. News releases I mean... but this time it's media.
Wow. You really suck.
And you LIE about the PR stuff because you don't want people to know how much your efforts are working against all our interests.
Get the hint. We DON'T LIKE YOU...
I know you don't like me.
What are you saying about YouTube? I had a go at who?
Gosh you remind me of Tony.
Anyways I'm having a laugh.
I mean, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU ON ABOUT? I put the video on YouTube?
LOL YOU WACKO. I mean you're just a fucking nut-case. Why don't you add me on msn. Let's have a REAL CONVERSTATION! YOU WEIRD CUNT! I hate you so fucking much. You NEED A FUCKING LIFE I HATE YOUR GUTS I WANNA GET A KNIFE AND JUST CUT YOUR FINGERS OFF ONE BY ONE.
See, I don't like you too.
Wow guys. I think I "broke" Ash. ^_^
Tony? He's on my list and actually likes you. No idea why. You're a turd.
Whatever. Dan, what were you saying about YouTube?
Lol ash broke, but hes always been fucked up. Wow the owner of the highly respected themepark site said something very freaky. wow thats gonna scare some people away. I couldnt help but laugh when you said you needed alot of work to get people from R-C and ozcoaster. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN! bahahahaha douche.
So what were you saying about YouTube?
I just saw the YouTube page. Funny stuff. I cannot believe how low you would go to try and get people to hate me.
This is low, real low.
Pfft. Like I'd waste my energy on anything to do with you.
No, you've just LOST IT and refuse to admit it. Way to go buddy... we won't believe you.
Don't know why you turned on CoasterBoy and decided to rip off his work then accuse him of stealing 'your' work but you're a DC aren't you.
Be a man and admit you did what you've done before you drain any more from the respect pool, if that's even possible.
Pfft. Like I'd waste my energy on anything to do with you.

I've emailed YouTube. Soon I'll know the person's email and IP of who created that account.
It will also be removed.
Let's prove it wasn't you. Take a full screen shot of a website telling you what your IP address is.
If you do that, I'll get my own, and then I'll show you the IP YouTube tell me. I'll even forward their email to ANYONE who asks for it.
Deal? Or are you too chicken that everyone will find out you did it.
I bet you're not a man and won't show your IP address.
Haha, It's deleted. Not sure if you did it, or YouTube did.
Whatever, I've got the IP now. Post yours up.
I bet you're too chicken. You little nitpicking fucker.
Fuck your winge alot, shut the fuck up YOU FAT CUNT!. Wow your tough you emailed youtube, your so intimidating.
Cannot even spell.
Come on, you toughy, let's see IP. If you didn't do it.
But you're too chicken.
Woah such a scary threat, please don't im begging you. Please don't you are so scary. YOU FUCKING LITTLE PEICE OF WORTHLESS SHIT THAT IS A WASTE OF SPACE AND TIME. Woah would you look at that I spelt everything right.
haha, chicken... don't waste your time then...don't reply. Doesn't worry me.
This Daniel kid is my hero
