I think you are being disingenuous. Obviously a lot of people don't wear shoes because that's the default when you go swimming. On the other hand, it would be unusual to visit a dry park without shoes, and in any case you don't get let on rides barefoot. Its a pain in the arse to have to leave them by the pool and at each ride and hope they don't get stolen, and it's just something else to get forgotten. Its entirety possible to have walkways that are comfortable, eg by having plenty of shade trees, and choosing surfaces that aren't rough and don't absorb as much heat. Doing this is a better guest experience. It's probably a bit safer because you're not inducing people to run around. I think it's a reasonable expectation for irregular guests that a water park would be comfortable to walk around barefoot, like any swimming facility. Not all guests will arrive with thongs either. I personally like a nice light coloured concrete, it can get warm, but not to the point of being burny. Stuff like LifeFlor is good too since it's soft as well.

^Yup, there appeared to be one local dead set against them. Visited the park late, this afternoon. The slide tower is looking great. The grass is looking green and there appears to be pool fencing at the bottom. There are rafts on the wave slide. Apparently, the staff have had their go on the new slides and loved them. There’s a large cabana being erected nearby too. There were plenty of people enjoying splash island as today’s temperature closed in on 40 degrees C. On a side note, the cafe has gone Pepsi postmix.

Now I know this has been on the park map for quite a while now, but I’ve never actually taken notice of what it says/is So kids (or smaller adults) can receive one of these bands at the start of their day, so it tells the operator how tall they are so they don’t have to be measured every single time they want to go on a ride. Has anyone ever seen this or asked about it?

Where is Jaws on the Dive in movies lineup! The meg is trash.

So I’m going to answer the question with a product I’d actually like to see in the park and that is proper dining... Australia has some of the best food in the world and yet our parks are terrible. All our major parks should have real dining options where you can sit at a table and eat a meal. Not the slap dash efforts that are currently on offer. People visit parks in the US just to at and for no other reason. Sea World used to have an a la carte restaurant with broadwater views. They half ran it and eventually turned it into ultimately jellyfish. A restaurant like that should be able to stand on its own, open for lunch every day and dinner in the evenings with a spectacular menu. So yeah for me a big lift in food would be top of the list. It’s also a revenue stream. Id also say another product I’d like is entertainment that’s actually good but that’s too long of a post than I have the energy for.

All it takes is for a toddler to scurry off onto the concrete when mums back is turned for a second to recieve some pretty serious burns. Wnw obviously aware of the risk with sprinklers spraying on some of the paths. Definitely a liability issue. Thanks Gazza. God forbid someone has a different opinion on these forums. Ill take my 'lazy' and 'stupid' ass back to lurker mode again haha.

The BRO has been reopened Triple Vortex has reopened and was not painted. Temple of Huey has scaffolding around it. The RIP has reopened TOT is off the map in park. The only painting that can be seen so far on The Little Rippers. Trolls is still being deconstructed. The Log Ride is going to be closed until next year. No progress has been made at the site of the new rollercoaster. Poles have gone up along the path connecting Tiger Island and Kids World. The Shaded Seating Area is underway.

Way longer, they’ve had this for many years.

And why would you be walking between both parks that for with no shoes on...

If the ground is hot enough to burn you, it's a clearly serious issue that cannot be ignored. It's like if the ground was made out of legos. Sure you should wear shoes but the ground shouldn't be made out of legos.

No need to BEE concerned, they won’t sting!
