You cant make morale and happiness with money... its not about wages. The village parks used to have as much fun and social recreation behind the scenes as front of house back hen John Menzies ran the place. The staff would have industry deals at venues all over town. There would be catered (with alcohol) after hours parties for staff almost monthly, and un official organised gatherings in town even more frequently. Then there was the famous annual Warner Village ball which saw all staff (1000s) treated to a sit down formal dinner, unlimited drinks and festivities all night, and handing out of employee of the year awards. Many staff lived for this annual party which was renowned for being one of the best on the coast. All these things made the place more than just a workplace. When Tim Fisher came in, all that stopped, there is no such thing a ball or a Christmas Party anymore, any staff function is held on site and is about as exciting as you can imagine from say a Trivia Night with free Soft Drink! WOO With so many companies being all about employee benefits to retain good staff these days, it's safe to say Village are as behind in staff relations as Dreamworld are in strategic direction. It's people that make your business, end of story.

Had a quick look into the facility after work this afternoon, (didn’t have my camera on me so enjoy these shots from my phone)

While watching that, this popped up in suggestions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju7AEf4E6R4 Some great vision of scooby at 28:57 Edit: It won't allow me to insert it for some reason.

Thought this would be worth the share.

The little things that never seem to get repaired or replaced, to me, is like basically saying we don't care. So if you don't care, that means you don't have pride in your business, which to me means you don't care about us as guests then either. So it all slides down hill from the number of small little things you never see changed. Big things tend to stay the same at our parks, the rides are still there, the buildings are still standing, the actors are still.... err... acting? but when im sitting down with the kids eating lunch and I see a small hole in the wall, some broken pavers or a torn curtain, only to come back 3 months later and still see the same thing, i kinda feel like nobody is putting any effort into presentation and it's all just turning to shit. Here's an example, at movieworld, the toilets around the side/back of dirty harrys have had a broken urinal for what seems like years. It's gone, the pipe is sticking out with a bit of tape on it. That's it. Is that the best you can do? what about tiles falling off the wall or the taps which don't turn off properly? how about the mold on the main street roof and running down the sides of some of the buildings? Im assuming thats what the black stuff is. When you are sitting down people watching, you start to notice lots of little things that you don't mean to notice or aren't trying to notice, it's just what happens when the kids are slowly making their way through a lunch they said they wanted but are trying VERY hard not to actually eat now its in front of them!
