You’re all confused, this is the Trident attraction.

Whatever suited the bias in the media on the day. I've no problem with private quarantine. To be honest, i'm sure anyone could have arranged to stay in fancy resort 'quarantine' if they were willing to pay that - as it stands a lot of people aren't even willing to pay the budget price for the normal hotels... High profile actors are usually very respectful of local law requirements - Depp-inately some exceptions to that but consequences followed. I'd expect Hanks would be one to follow the rules for sure - especially when he and his wife were hospitalised and treated so well the first time, he of all people would be in a position to know what danger they were placing everyone in if they breached it. At the end of the day, there's no use arguing with conspiracy theorists, lunatics and political oppositionists. They'll never listen to reasonable argument. It's like playing chess with a pigeon - they'll just knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, and strut around like they won.

Not gonna lie, i'd love to go through the disco room with middle fingers just projected all over the wall

Facebook, press conferences, closed door meetings between corporate and government... I mean - a COO whining at a press conference that the whole thing 'is bullshit' is a tantrum. That's not the sort of outburst one expects from an executive of a large public corporation Its very difficult to separate suburbs from each other in the same state. Victoria's 'ring of steel' has been breached numerous times, and has involved an enormous amount of equipment, manpower and logistics. When the 'Logan Liars' breached the border and made false declarations (the source of most cases in recent SEQ times), they had exposures from Ipswich to the Redlands, BCC and Logan council areas. Its impossible to 'separate' that. But you deal with cases in your own backyard. You don't import new ones - you manage the risk with the existing population. Sydney isn't allowed in even though the rest of NSW is because 'greater sydney' has a lot of crossover. 4 unexplained cases in 3 different localities means the spread could be far larger. Sydney siders work all over. When I lived in Sydney, I lived around the Penrith area, and within a few years (without moving house) I worked from Hornsby, Castle Hill, Parramatta, Cronulla, Eastgardens, Sydney City and everything in between. The mobility of Sydney means a case in Castle hill can just as easily reach Sutherland as it can Campbelltown. So 'greater sydney' is the hotspot, not 'castle hill'. It'd be pretty hard to pretend. It hasn't. Anyone who thinks the Premier's position on the Queensland Border has been about politics either needs to stop sucking Murdoch's tit, or declare their LNP membership card at the door.

Yeah was only quoting the individual weights.

They’re all 180kg max combined.

The Sinbad song is catchy as hell. https://youtu.be/GlfcDCCev24

The attraction was only announced 1.5 years ago

It was possible for other people to do this as well, there was a process out there that allowed for this (international returnees only I believe). This is how Dani Minogue was able to do it, took applications prior to returning to the country. I know someone in the coronavirus 'department'.

Do the guards see the actual weight though? When we went last year I only noticed a green/red light. In the case of multiple riders per raft, we just packed onto the same scale.

The rumors of Trident's death appear to have been greatly exaggerated.

If the staff are at the scales weighing people and knocking them back, then they should be trained to be apologetic and suggest alternatives "i'm sorry guys but the limit is XX - you might like to try such-and-such a slide instead?" By the sounds of the story, they were knocked back from a couple and decided not to bother with the rest - if the staff weighing had suggested alternatives, they might have had a better day...

What about the statement that the CEO of the company has “banned” the premier of the state from entering their theme parks? The same premier of a government who has dished out millions of dollars to said business to help build new attractions to entice tourism and keep their gates open? That for one example is what I’d call a childish tantrum.

TPSN shared these photos. A sign has been put up at the end of the path after Vortex

Short answer - no. The noise complaints will never shut it down again. If it's permitted to be built, it's staying. The circumstances of the sidewipper's removal will never happen again.

I mean, that's like wanting to visit Las Vegas, and substituting the Canberra casino...

Gonna sound a bit insensitive here but if it is openly advertised and expressed by WWW that people under/over a weight limit (which is set by manufacturers i believe) cannot go on slides, a bit of the onus has to be placed on the guest for paying full price. If you want to go for a swim but cant ride slides, go to the local rec centre.

Definitely a thing. Or in Universals case “can you just knock us up another Hulk coaster so we can replace all the track”

Nice

I'd argue too high, tbh. It's not the 90's anymore, and the marketing text-book that phrase came from should be shot and buried. It's not like Aussies don't travel or don't have access to the internet. They know what Disney parks look like. And so "The greatest family coaster in the world" would sound like BS to anyone, and is enough of a big stretch that most people would just keep scrolling or click away. "Australia's fastest and tallest ever wooden roller-coaster" is far more effective as a hook - interstate travellers would think of Bush Beast or Scenic Railway and have some sense of nostalgia and/or reference point which would get people's attention and intrigue to want to find more information, from there you just need to create new comms on likely consumer touch-points e.g. "will it be rough" "will it be boring" "can my kids ride" "how big is this coaster compared to other coaters" etc. etc. etc.
