Trident has been topped off, looks like the ride itself is nearly done. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChJEBQYvPT2/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Trident head should have been significantly bigger to attract attention.

Yeah, tailoring that to say something like "two hydraulic cylinders per seat for redundancy to meet even the highest Australian Safety Standards' would have been better. Overall there's a lot of jargon and technobabble in there like 'NDT Testing' and 'alignment of the ... ARB' shows the person who put this together has no idea who the audience is. It isn't a straight copy paste though - there are two different spellings for the word 'integrated'. Look - it's "nice" that they did this. I'm not really a fan of when theme parks 'pull back the curtain' but at the same time, i'm the kind of person that likes to peek behind it regardless. I think i'd prefer the little videos they used to do to a 'blog post' as consumption of video media tends to be better received (and it helps the people providing the content to understand how it will be heard as they'll hear "ARB" instead of "Anti Roll Back" and they'll reshoot it properly). I suppose its better than nothing and it does help to explain to folks why its closed for so long at one time - although I do suspect the damage has been done to the parks reputation in the peak seasons earlier this year. The comments on social from the masses tend to be 'everything is always closed'.

You're right, media content is great, but a blog is so much cheaper and doesn't get in the way / require re-shoots.

Looking at Justice League’s maintenance period, it’s definitely not a Movie World thing…

(Sorry @Spotty) This is an illustration of the Village Ops mindset that frustrates me. Have guests disembark THEN have them load and mess with loose items etc These two dot points should happen simultaneously. As soon as the train parks, open the gates. This is where you can improve efficiency. As long as the gates are secured and the platform clear prior to dispatch, who cares? ETA: My memory is getting a bit fuzzy, but I think@Gazza had a video back in 2014 (I think you went to Ohio?) and showed something like a 30 person suspended train unloaded, loaded and dispatched within 90 seconds. Absolute magic to watch.

Were people queued for blocks trying to get on the rides?🤣 Another great report by Gazza.

I think Dreamworld would make for a great Legoland conversion. They did it pretty well with Cypress Gardens in Florida. The problem would be that Legoland parks are heavily marketed to younger families, so Dreamworld's thrill rides might generate a problem in terms of imaging, but to solve this they could call this location 'Legoworld' to differentiate it from their other properties. It ties back to the parks history and plays into the fact that there are technically two parks with WWW next door. It'd be the fresh start that the park needs.
