^ A grand wouldn't have been enough to ship the damn thing. The owner has them sitting in a shipping container on a property in SA. He's working tourism in the NT. To even return home to photograph the things would have cost him time and money - certainly not something that'd be worth doing for a grand for some stuff that isn't costing you anything to store. He's clearly a collector. He had aspirations of setting up his own private collection, clearly it became too much to restore them all and he shelved the idea. He's finally come to terms with getting rid of them, but like many things people are sentimental about, he wants to recoup the costs he paid for them - and no doubt that's where the pricetag comes from, once you consider the cost to procure, ship, and then have this creative mob try to reanimate them. He doesn't want to make a loss, which is fair enough - its cheaper for him to let them continue to rot.

I think the price and lack of care is what scared people off from donating. Ask a grand and they probably would have sold easily.

Interestingly, the gofundme is still live this morning (almost 24 hours after the announcement), and the last fund update on the fundraiser was the end of January. They didn't actually reach $1000 - just slightly less at $930, but that's with Golden Years chipping in $200 (they were the last recorded donation - on the 7th of February, which is odd given the campaign ran for 4 weeks total, and note also that Golden Years' donation is marked as 'offline' meaning they didn't actually put their money up - offline donations don't run through the gofundme system, so its an 'on paper' donation only. While never made public, judging by social media posts it seems like perhaps discussion had been raised about housing the koala(s) at the longhurst museum \ garage just around the back of Dreamworld. That in itself is folly, given the distaste the longhurst's reportedly have for Dreamworld these days. @Slick this might need splitting now...

The screen actually changes and shows character and show time and they have the same thing on the skins at the entrance for SW too

Yes

I visited the park today for the first time since Shaun was introduced. And I was very impressed with how it was all intergrated into the park and I love all the figures throughout the park

Good news: because of the busy holidays Wild West rosdhouse is open Bad news: A frames are taking over the park once again And something I noticed, despite their being some of the events activities in the AA courtyard, with the ride closed. Absolutely no one in going into this space. They should have some show or activity running in this area.

Scaffolding is currently up the side of the Green Room, with workmen doing stuff to the outside of the funnel

@pushbutton so what you are saying is there was the shows audio playing, but the show actually wasn’t on. And the train was at the station the entire time until the audio ended?

That idea would be a lot more beneficial if it had wait times on it too

Crane be used on the lift hill And work happening around the exit

Scaffolding is now gone
