This may be old news, but just noticed the ride picture screens are long gone, can’t see any other obvious dismantling except previous mentioned facade theming yet though.

Theme park follows regulation and reports an injury and near miss. WHSQ are happy with this because protocol was followed and there were no serious or major injuries. GCB: Murder park, strikes again!

I wonder what sort of crowd area they're planning - temporary scaffold grandstand? lay down some bitumen and temporary fence? leave it dirt and cancel the show when it rains? timber planks on breeze blocks with every second plank removed (for social distancing and to make it lighter, of course).... See, if they put a little effort into the crowd area, then the arena becomes something that they can reuse - a day or two of earthworks and they can change from monster trucks to freestyle motocross to livestock muster to fireworks display to temporary inflatable slides over summer - the possibilities are endless... heck they could even put a lazy river in there!

ok, but what do you really think of the media?

Putting aside the incident on triple vortex which sounds like a nothing event, A near-miss crush is hardly 'minor or slightly unusual'. Any action involving moving a large piece of machinery in such a way that it could potentially fall and injure someone requires risk management - with the best and safest course of action being eliminating the crush risk by ensuring that no person is within the fall zone during the lift. Even if it occurred at a time when a worker HAS to be in the fall zone (for example, while bolting \ unbolting the ride arm) there are ways and means of securing things to ensure they are in a fail-safe position. WHSQ will obviously determine whether it was procedure that was lacking, or whether it was an individual worker not following procedure. But either way, that isn't minor.

You mean an entitled Karen with an ego and a chip on her shoulder that believes a ride op doesn’t have the right to question her ability to walk or go up and down steps unassisted? Ride Op did the right thing. This lady with her “don’t you know who I am” attitude needs a reality check.

I'm very eager to hear what your thoughts are about Wet n Wild's BMX shows, since Dreamworld's monster trucks are such a problem?

Now Dreamworld is under fire after a former Paralympian was kicked off the Dronkey Flyers ride.

kid falls over at dreamworld The News: 9 yr old kid has been injured following a fatal incident at dreamworld, This comes as 4 years ago 4 people died on the thunder rapids ride, More to come at 6. seriously something like that would happen and they would talk about it

The track for the monster trucks is coming along

Whinge whinge whinge blah blah

Puts a spin? You mean like the media spinning that the park is just murdering people hand over fist and if you go there, you're guaranteed to get hurt. Sorry for wanting to provide some truth in amongst the fuckasses and speculation Also to add to that, media are reporting that 3+ rides at DW have been closed due to safety issues since the Fully 6 incident. Rides such as, Buzzsaw, Pandamonium, 2 of the 6 Fully 6 slides and the soon to be Gold Coaster.... That level of spin would make Shane Warne proud.

All the others are unreliable....

Time to put a bulldozer straight through dreamworld...build a disneyland

Any near miss incident should be reported, if the Murdoch news fiction paper reported every near miss that is reported with Qantas, no one would ever fly. Its a media beef up. Click bait about dreamworld sells unfortunately and Facebook doesn't help. 100's of near misses are reported across Queensland every week, Im glad that they are taking it seriously and reporting.

Heard whispers it’s a week away. Staff training has been done and evacuation scenarios carried out, expect to see live test dummies on it sooner rather then later

the 2 speed slides are obviously "fast", but the other 4 are no faster, in fact probably slower, than River Rapids at Wet n Wild.

Disgusting Gold Coast Bulletin reporting. ANY workplace incident/near miss be it small or large MUST be reported. The choice of wording they are using is disgusting. No wonder people don’t like or trust the media. Shame on you Gold Coast Bulletin. This is why I don’t buy your crappy shit paper and the Courier Mail. Get your facts right.

Seems like the media are back on the theme park watch and anything minor or slightly unusual will be reported on 😒

It's the wrong type of water theme though, needs to sound more mysterious and dramatic given its themed around a sea monster. Spongebob music is too summery and upbeat, but might suit something like a family ride, or the reef themed area at Castaway Bay. It'll likely be something like this

School holidays begin Thursday so yes it will be

https://www.parkz.com.au/photo/9688-Creatures_of_the_Deep/gallery/sort/newest/location/ride-1920/offset/20 Will the Leviathan make a comeback in the queue for the coaster? I notice the train is the same colours as this.

Post some photos after all the forecasted rain over the next 6 days. 🤣 On the usual hot January days I am sure that lots of people will love to stand out in the sun before and during the show. But I’m sure they will have covered areas for everyone 😂 Another great Christmas holiday event DW, not.
