  1. Given I know who this person is, I will say I'm a lot less skeptical now. I'll still believe it when I see it but at least there is some credibility behind the person who's running this.

  3. So true Brad. Little does he know or failed to care on how many people in our groups have a lot of experience in Australian theme parks. We also have people in tourism, business management, development and so on who bring great knowledge and a different perspective to things. This is what makes parkz so great. If he was any good at marketing he should know this is one group you want on your side because in the end and he may not like it but we are the customers.

  4. Tbh you seem like an arrogant jerk. You come to a theme park enthusiasts forum, and expect to be able to post whatever you like with questioning, and then meet any questioning with contempt. we don't know you, and you don't know us, as you've just shown up - that changes through communication. Saying 'those truely in the know have no difficulty getting in touch with me' is just a Tosser of a thing to say, Do you understand the Australian culture and way of life? Might be an idea before you open a theme park here. being a jerk to people who make up a large part of your target market and are generally influencers in the community isn't going to help your cause. I suggest you walk out the door and then come back in with a different attitude and you'll find others will change there's towards you too

  5. Hi my name is John Titor i am a time traveller from the future, I have been sent back to this time as it is a very crucial juncture point in the history of the world and my people want to learn as much as possible about what happened in the great war. Feel free to ask me any questions and i will answer as best as i can.

  6. Yeah, I don't think you can knock someone for trying. Ammar has admitted they're not home and hosed. I don't think the original Wonderland was destined to fail - I think it was allowed to. There's every chance in the world that Adventure World in Perth wouldn't exist if it hadn't been for Steve Sicerich and Mark.

  7. It's the economics of this that makes me extremely doubtful that this is ever going to come close to happening. When you consider the very high land value in the Sydney basin along with Australia's very high construction and labour costs, and lack of population, you don't have fertile ground for a development of this type and scale. Even the scale of the (by comparison) modest Australia's Wonderland, which when it opened in 1985 became a national 'destination' was a financial disaster from start to finish. This park was also designed and planned by a bunch of Americans with no understanding of the market in Australia. I will watch with interest. Good luck, David.

  8. Best of luck, The Mousiah. Sydney deserves another full sized theme park that lasts longer than two years. If you build a great resort, we'll be there to support it. Regards to Ammar, he certainly is a determined character.

  10. David certainly seems to have lots of experience. https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-bakas-040a7016 I hope the two Western Sydney parks offer more of a full day experience than some of the Gold Coast parks at the moment.

  11. What I know – Roller Coaster – Approved for construction. OPW (Earthworks) - = new accommodation area. More approvals to be lodged for this one. New Attraction & Lakeside Precinct- Stage 1 Early works. Approved for construction. (Things to note about this one.) This is an approval so some minor construction can start. More approvals to be lodged for this one. No lake can be seen within the new accommodation area and it’s located on the side of a hill. Entertainment Precinct- Stage 1 Early works. Approved for construction. This is an approval so some minor construction can start. More approvals to be lodged for this one. There is to much more information to get lodged on all of this and that I’m taking the 6th till I see more. Special mention is everything is approved except for the OPW

  12. Was as DW & WWW today and had a look around the Ex Cyclone area from rides and slide towers and on the interior, there seems to have been a bit of work done. New train's on, essentially each train car is literally themed a coloured car. Maintenance folk were running it up and down the station (repeatedly winching it back) in the afternoon. Track's been painted in the station but is still grimy and yuck everywhere else. Track colour in station is the same as before. Old cyclone train in pieces in the storage lot. Station seems to be themed as a pit stop with shelves and crap lining the outside of the indoor brake run. The old Cyclone doors have been removed with orange looking mesh sliding doors in its place. Floor's been redone, painted a blueish grey colour. From the top of Tailspin it looks like the interior of the cyclone queue tower's had its panels painted an organgey colour although it's hard to say since I couldn't see much. From WWW, the thing looks mostly gutted inside on the upper levels, doors were open. Mesh windows have been installed facing WWW from the station but otherwise no exterior changes, still its ugly sheet clad self. Brock Museum has had it's shell and roof done, doors open to interior, couldn't see much from Wipeout though. The F&B outlet is mostly gutted inside.

  13. Skeetafly - good job! Some of the best contributions I have seen to this forum in ages. Whether or not your predictions turn out to be right is irrelevant. Your obviously strong knowledge of planning is very insightful.
