Back in my day, theme parks made money by installing great attractions. 🤷‍♀️

Don’t think it needs a new thread as it’s just another weird monetisation choice from MW, so I’ll post it here instead ‘cause IG it’s the most related thread: Movie World’s launched a “world’s first” TikTok Live subscription, and have promised behind-the-scenes tours of both the park & WoO’s construction site as giveaway prizes. They also mention a soon-to-come announcement for the September school holidays (which, if I had to guess, is the hut replacement/rumoured arcade). Video includes an angle of what I believe is Arkham’s old station. https://www.facebook.com/100064603124561/posts/684103177086447/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

The ability to attract and retain staff when you're only offering work 6-9 months of the year makes life very difficult. I imagine Raging Waters does struggle to keep good staff year on year. Unless you're also into snow and rotate between the snow fields and the waterparks, it must be hard to keep it a 'stable' job. As for maintenance, which so far nobody has addressed for you - there was quite the discussion here on Parkz a short while ago about the parks down here not having the capacity to maintain all the major rides in a 2-3 month window, due to the lack of skilled workers. Some suggested that American workers could be shipped in to fill this void which was largely pooh-poohed for various reasons, and rightly so.

What Slick said, but to expand/elaborate, our winter is not really what other North nations call 'winter' and their largest holiday period, their summer is our winter.

The combination of weather conditions and school holiday break periods are unique to SEQ and different from the US. That's the whole story in one.

More work has been done (thanks to @Ogre)

Groundwork has started on the new kiddy coaster (thanks to @Ogre) Dreamworld, please tell me you will replace the pathway in this area. It looks disgusting and lazy reusing the same ones from Dreamworks.
