Seems overkill until some random exec comes back to their black car to find it's covered in white and blue specks

Yes.

That was the reason given to staff.

@aussienetman I doubt that as they were painting it while guests were in the park

Sidewinder getting a new paint job. Seems overkill, but carpark was cordoned off to avoid overspray...

Jet Rescue Coaster has been extended to the 24th of October, I hope vortex opens before then Penguin Encounter has been moved to the 19th of august and Boots' Banana Boogie has been pushed back to the 21st of September

IF they stay open generating those jobs and flow on. My point is they’ve demonstrated they couldn’t keep the place profitable before this so is flushing 70million more of public money at them really going to change that. FWIW I think the place is of extreme value to the state and want to see it open and thriving. I just don’t see the present owners capable of that in any way.

You're not my real mum I'll come on here drunk. Others do!

Now repeat after me: “I will not post on parkz when I’m drunk”

At least DW can afford to build their coaster now

Wet n Wild will not be open Monday to Wednesday from August 10. From September 17, 7 day operation will return

I’d say some trigger happy safety fun police has decided it needs a secondary safety and can’t just be on its shaft (which would have been engineered in the first place). This is the future of theming in Australia folks. The balance of logic in this country has gone towards extra safety to the point of even if it impacts on show. We’ll never have theme parks with the level of show immersion as overseas again as a result of this. You’ll never justify hiding an exit sign as it distrusts the theming or having an authentic prop like this again. That’s just the way it’s going to be. And the over engineering and safety analysis will add so much to the cost of doing anything less money will be available for theming. This is just the reality in Australia now, past incidents have forced the governments hand and we just have to live with that as sad as it is.

Does anyone think Dreamworld will re-open? the other Gold COast parks have but as a yearly member of Dreamowrld we have had no response. I actually wish these guys would sit down and watch Disney Imagennering on Disney Chanell It might wake them up, the park has lost direction yet I still love it. open to here your opinions.
