  1. I'm not sure - but given it has individual harnesses, each one would need to be checked, wouldn't it?
  2. Due to guest feedback, this attraction will be operating in at half capacity shit wrong A-frame. Due to guest feedback, we have replaced this attraction with shaded seating bingo!
  3. They can always stick individual seatbelts on it that have to be done up by an operator...
  4. If they're keeping it in the events centre, then they need to fast track the removal of Gold Coaster so that end of the park can be entirely cut off. Closing it down for months is ridiculous. I hadn't seen the stats on the show, so had no idea how successful it was. I think it's too early to call it a 'massive success' as the show is only 10 days in. Ratings for 'new' shows tend to spike at the beginning while everyone watches to figure out whether it's worth continuing to watch. The real success will be how many people tune into the Finale. The house will definitely be open for tours after the season. It's one of the biggest plums Dreamworld gets for hosting the show and increases park attendance overall. I think it's a given that they'll figure out a more permanent solution for live shows if they plan to continue \ renew for multiple seasons.

  6. Yeah it conjures up uncomfortable comparisons OneOcean was the show Sea World Orlando rushed into production after the death of Dawn Brancheau. One Ocean | SeaWorld Orlando Wiki | Fandom
  7. So just to recap - the website shows the following: FOWW - Annual maintenance Flash - Unplanned maintenance WWF - Unplanned Maintenance SE - Unplanned Maintenance SDSC - Refurbishment JL3D - Annual Maintenance Batwing - Unplanned maintenance Stunt Show - Refurbishment If we add Green Lantern to the mix, here's how it would look: Red: Confirmed closed Purple: Reported closed Yellow: Previously guest-accessible areas that have been removed or are not presently open to the public Green: Open to guests (almost entirely kids, food, retail and walkways only) Items left uncoloured are back of house spaces and\or my bad snipping tool skills painting with a mouse.
  8. *Angry Upvote* Must've been all that unplanned operation during fright nights.
  9. This is a far better map style than those weird 'realistic 3d maps'...
  10. The dichotomy of these two comments is only exacerbated by the fact that they were one after the other in your reply As the old saying goes 'if you build it, they will come' You're right about this for sure. I think they've pitched "theme park" as a way to get locals on board given SEQ's reputation for parks. The issue on the sunshine coast is that everything is so far away from each other. Australia Zoo, Aussie World, the Aquarium, the Ginger Factory - they're all decently isolated from each other and that makes trekking around the sunshine coast to visit them all an arduous task. And only one of those is located right on the highway to make it convenient. The GC's major parks are either co-located, placed right on the highway, or located adjacent to a large population centre that hosts many accommodation options within a few minutes of the facilities. All of the things the sunshine coast does not have. I know this proposal is within Moreton Bay Regional - but it is essentially the gateway to the sunshine coast and would add value to that region. I daresay they're not experts in park building but if they get approval, they'd be wise to engage someone with experience who will no doubt steer us away from 1980s Vekoma.
  11. That's some of the best news. The guy is an absolute talent.
