it seems like you’ve worked within every industry in a lot of different department that always somehow relate to a very specific topic. anyways, in all honestly guests don’t care about a sticker or a wrap, it won’t make them not want to return when they know somethings coming. A sticker with a barcode across a couple of the walls is fine, they still could do more but for what it is it’s fine. Guests will definitely care when 2/5 coasters are open in a park with a bunch of other rides closed, then a blank wall.

But the soon to be infamous “DW black wall” has been more than a day… Being the very first thing people see as soon as they pay their hundreds of dollars, step through the entry gates and enter a famous Gold Coast theme park… boom, plain black wall with stickers… It’s just not good enough, and should not be overlooked. Stab in the dark… 1 day for a graphic designer, 1-3 days for printing, 1 day for installation, $5k printing & installation and your job’s done. A decent attempt at welcoming guests and photo opp for guests whilst building excitement for an upcoming attraction. The wall didn’t just appear out of nowhere overnight, they knew it was coming, someone would’ve taken the time to measure the area, order the timber, construct it… DW had plenty of opportunity to plan and properly present their entrance. Maybe Disneyland have done similar fencing jobs, but I can guarantee it wouldn’t be like that in their main entrance and the first thing people see as they enter.

It's so easy I already 'designed' it for them. Just confused why construction hasn't started yet? 😛 https://www.parkz.com.au/forums/topic/9325-dreamworld-general-park-update-april-2021/?do=findComment&comment=189841

I mean I guess I understand the rage, but also the rage does seem a little bit overblown to me. Also 'lol' to the idea that the reason it's fine is because the 'real' first impression of the park is the digital experience.

Wow! And this is what happens when you slowly water down the clout imagineering has in the parks, you end up with 'GC Style' in Disney parks 😛

In a perfect world, what do enthusiasts want? Because fans can't have it both ways - folks want the parks to be transparent and more receptive to feedback (and even engage with enthusiasts 😱) but also think it's ridiculous when they leverage insights from the folks that know their assets the best. To be frank, if analysts, investors and even the boards themselves use Parkz for insights and insider knowledge, there'd be something wrong culturally if the middle managers were too short-sighted to do the same.

Absolutely - this smacks of "oh fuck, they're right. get something up there" I'd rather they'd waited a week to have full height corflute artwork run off (see Dreamland construction hoarding for ideas) than to have overnighted this cheap shit. Actually - i'd rather plain black walls than this shit.
