Then why have a public accessible link? Why not just create a staff portal? (oh right - they couldn’t even update their websites to mobile compatible for ten years) all good. Hope they don’t wake Richo for another cease and desist!

Spotted this running the track today

Went on the Sea World Whale Watching this morning, awesome experience. Amazing crew and boat. On the way back we could see into the park and how the Vortex construction was coming along Also, more concrete was being poured for the Leviathan slab this morning too

The Coroner, the shitty superhero who just gives you COVID

Hey @themagician I just notice this on one of the photos..

During Fabrication in Herbolzheim

it was on /r/aus but It's not there now that I'm looking for it to post a link so I'm assuming it's been deleted/taken down?

Does it work for members yet?

Yep, should reopen the same time as Arkham Asylum.

All the information has been released on the parks websites https://themeparks.com.au/experience-updates Some major points, all guests must download the VRTP app, no park maps, physical distances, changes to characters and shows

But in both of those examples, nobody DIED. and despite what you might think about death vs dismemberment, most people tend to not like dying.

In a legal sense - yes it totally matters. From a public perception thing.. i don't think it does so much. The public cares that someone died or was injured, and that someone screwed up and was held accountable. The only reason the ride got demolished was it wasn't financially viable to repair or upgrade to current standards. Due to its age, and the way it was developed and installed it would have cost a fortune to upgrade, so more cost effective to scrap. Take the Green Lantern accident for example - how close did that come to being a fatality? Do you think the general public even realises? Does it stop anyone riding it now? Think how many people ride the Smiler every day at Alton Towers? In some ways you could argue permanent injuries like what was suffered on that, are worse from a public opinion aspect than a death. When there's a death, there's some sadness, but the persons no longer around to make a fuss. When people lost limbs, but lived, everything they do becomes a news story.

Lesson learnt perhaps? Lets hope they put all their future plans on an easily accesible link 😂

Ah yes, I just read it properly. seems like village are leaking more than a sieve recently

Its not. Its down for maintenance and during construction for the new coaster.

The reopening of the parks

I have heard an announcement shall be happening tomorrow morning for VRTP

@Rydah Hi nice, I didn’t even notice that at first

how many were homemade copies, not made by or built in china, and had a litany of undocumented and un-assessed modifications?

Certainly did. Around a dozen which were all breaching

^not a bad idea at all. I reckon when they eventually come to redesign the front end, the lake could finally be resumed, with an elaborate rapids filling out the Atlantis area nicely, utilising much of the lake while still opening some parts up to other development - such as retail, event space or parade route should they desire. That front section is one of the worst pinch points in the entire park - and potentially, if they resumed the lake they could run a path down the Sea World Drive side to connect the park together and make it more of a loop than a one-way street...

If you're DW, you probably don't want to remind people of that time 4 people died. I think if they did a rapids ride, after a few years it would be established in its own right, and the whole connection would be forgotten. There are lots of rides (even water rides) DW could build though, that doesn't instantly remind the public of what happened, so why bother with a rapids ride? Maybe in 50 years when what happened at the park 50 years ago doesn't matter they could if they wanted to; Same as Luna Park could totally build a ghost train these days, and no one would bat an eyelid.

Okay, this is a money shot and a half!

I'm calling it - it's high-vis orange, and I reckon it's pretty snazzy.

Breaching social distancing?
