More support pieces are being unloaded onsite. I wont risk anyones family by taking photos though

I saw a comment from someone last night that made a really good point - rather than whining that the limits aren't high enough for them to be profitable, they should be leading by example - collaborating with the government on what measures and what steps they could take that would allow them to open to a profitable capacity level. All levels of government have indicated that a larger number of patrons is allowable with an appropriate covid management plan, so maybe the parks need to come up with a plan on how they'll manage large numbers - then they can have as many people in the park as they determine they can safely manage under the plan, and if they can't get the number they need to be profitable, then they've shown why the government won't let them have a big number. Just because you're a big business, doesn't mean you should be exempt from the rules... but it does mean you are better equipped, and more able to afford to put in a management plan that would allow you to trade with larger numbers. So stop whining, and actually lead the business you're paid millions of dollars a year to lead.

I mean, you'd have to imagine there's going to be at least 3? No point for a MCBR if there isn't at least 3.

He came across that he didn't care if guest ended up infected as long as he can get his 5000 guest through the gate.

Here’s a picture of some fencing

Nobody can get close enough to The empty carpark to know for sure. legend has it that skeet and his family will be the only ones to ever see them though...

Thank you for being safe and staying home during this time of great uncertainty. I can't stress how important it is not to visit practically empty car parks with no one in sight. You have done a great service to the Australian pubic and coaster enthusiasts around the world. My hat goes off to you kind sir.

Shouldn't you be a moderator of the forum to give a shit? This thread is older, and is titled 'new roller coaster for dreamworld' which, of course, is what these supports are, whereas the thread you link to was created more recently, and relates to the timeline for the coaster? Are supports related to a timeline? Are you a moderator? Does anyone actually care at this point besides those who get upset by megathreads? Shouldn't you have created a new thread to talk about something off topic?

Shouldn’t these supports update be part of the Dreamworld’s new coaster timeline forum?

To be fair, his media interviews are still more sane and reasonable than his Facebook rants

That's because you can never see his eyes.

Seconded!!!! I will go as far to say cockwomble!!

What a wanker. You can't sue someone for calling you a wanker.

So a friend of mine contacted me to say Bikash Randhawa, COO of Village Roadshow Theme Parks had written to him accusing him of writing this post, and threatening legal action over defamation from this post, unless the poster posts an apology. Bikash also advised he had contacted the police already over this post. Whilst my personal opinion is that, an opinion of myself and only myself, I would like to formally apologise to Bikash Randhawa for my comments. I apologise for any harm caused, and I retract my statement

The guys a wanker, full stop. He is more interested in making himself look good than for the safety of the guests or the industry’s future. I mean, honestly, before him, when did we see Village management in the media all the time? Never except for circumstances such as major ride failures (green lantern for example). Let him open the parks, chances are high an outbreak will occur because of it, and the guy will be hauled over the coals for it.

No, you unfortunately see much, much more

"I'll infect 5000 people a day before I let this company die"

Here are the DreamWorks Experience and ABC Kids World themed precincts links.

The screenshot isn’t from then, it just the park are in the process of updating the website so some parts are really outdated, some pages don’t work/exist

Couldn’t agree more @AlexB. Look at what Disney are doing with Shanghai. They are one of the biggest businesses in the world, but they have clearly stated what they have put in place, even if that means their profits won’t be anywhere near as high as usual. They’ve said they will cut down to 30%, and they’ve shown how queues will work and how trains will be loaded. It ensures people know what to expect if they do decide to go back. Obviously the scale of a Disney vs VRTP is no where what the same and we won’t be expecting crowds to be anywhere near the same, but as Alex says, they need to showcase to the government what they would do and how they would do it. Bikash says they would need at least 5000 people capacity, but in reality, I doubt they will reach those numbers, not until at least the summer holidays (unless I’m not realising how many people want to go back to theme parks).

I am excited for the triple launch but I think it being add on to existing model will be a let down and here is why. Blue fire uses the whole launch to get to it's desired speed of first turn, and this is the same length of track that DW coaster is using. However because it's doing a triple launch it won't accelerator the whole way as it needs to reverse. (Even see the launch track on the video they don't go whole way). So the launch will be somewhat slow and then coast down the length before reverse. Then do same back before final launch to speed BF runs to make the hill. The small amount of LSM launch track could give underwhelming launch fitting to an existing design that uses LSM the whole length. Hope I'm wrong. I'd also prefer a half loop design rather than the corkscrew. The hang time at the back would be awesome and make more exciting. But that's just my opinion. Also the mid track brake run. Being Australia will probably only get 2 trains I'd prefer to see an element in here. Also the first hill will look cool above SV when viewing from main Street. Edit- just noted alot of my points were stated in the parkz main post. Great minds something something...
