The ride had a preview today for staff members! It looks very impressive off ride with the fountains. Also has music! Probably going to be open by the weekend. Sequence 01.mp4 (Clip of the ride testing prior)

But the park has always had roaming characters 😛

Clip of the ride testing! Looks like it's going to run three laps. Watch till the end Sequence 01.mp4

A report for tomorrow’s General Meeting gives no specific details and seeks approval for 'international travel for tourism investment'. However, it does say Council “has a number of high-quality leads, including one major proponent interested to develop a major tourism accommodation and experience offering in the City of Moreton Bay. “The project, if realised, would contribute thousands of jobs and generate significant economic output, the likes of which have not been previously realised in the City of Moreton Bay. Councillors will vote on a request to send an elected representative and/or the CEO and possibly officers to South-East Asia and the Middle East early next year. In the publicly-available meeting agenda, it says they would meet ‘investment teams of a live major tourism development interested in the City of Moreton Bay’. The representatives would look to ‘position the City of Moreton Bay as the best location for the tourism development’. In the report it adds: “Due to signing a non-disclosure agreement, Council is constrained from providing further details of the project and the proponent.” Moreton Daily has contacted Council for further information. But it adds the region’s tourism potential is “limited by a lack of branded short-term accommodation and commissionable product in the form of tourism experiences”. Council as a Tourism Opportunity Plan (TOP) which includes a graphic showing tourism opportunities and tourism developments in the pipeline. Six of the ‘opportunities’ are on the western side of the region, one at Redcliffe and two just north of Caboolture. Council has also identified a major shortfall in visitor accommodation saying in the lead-up to the 2032 Olympic Games it needs at least eight hotels and more than 1000 hotel rooms. In August Council put two major parcels of land – by the highway turn-off to Caboolture and in the centre of North Lakes – back on the market.”

I’m pretty sure Gumbuya World, Funfields and Adventure Park are all non-Luna Parks.

Luna Park Redcliffe?

Seriously, though, hopefully it’s something good, but it’d be truly hilarious if Queensland gets a 4th amusement park before Sydney/Melbourne get a single non-Luna Park.

Always amazes me how many people attend WC each year. MW could charge $200.00, and people would still go because so many people lose their minds at Christmas. Out of all the events across all the parks, this event must be the one, village hands are the deepest in your pockets. Take one step, pay $10.00 //s The whole night is an upcharge bonanza.

I appreciate that they've they still got them on display, particularly when they're decent floats. But why say this is the biggest parade ever, when it's got less floats? I guess there's the argument for why say ' the first ride-within-a-ride experience in the Southern Hemisphere' or 'World's most iconic wooden rollercoaster'. Because they can almost say whatever they want for marketing reasons, even if it's not true. Why not recetify the issues to get them going again then.
