  1. Vortex should have been mid-construction this time last year for a December 2019 opening - so this is just routine annual maintenance... lol.

  2. There was a cherry picker at Vortex last week when I visited, looked like they were installing spot lights just infront of the motors. Gotta say, its soo good to finally see a Huss Top Spin in Australia, they're honestly soo much fun!

  5. It just keeps the rules simple. Probably stops the "Karen's" complaining when they don't see people's details being recorded too.

  7. So does that mean we are all armchair experts? With you being the almighty expert.

  8. The rules are the rules. The health guidelines have specific requirements for patrons seated for dining/beverage. Being in a theme park doesn’t magically make that go away so they have to follow the regulations.

  11. Eh, I had a kid annoying me wanting dinner. So I suffered a stroke. Yes, local chippies can follow the plans and do some of the work. All machinery is only ever signed off by an engineer from the company who has designed it. So I am not as silly as you might think. But I also know they cant simply built the entire coaster unsupervised. But I am sure they could follow plans until a particular point. I didn't realise I was in a brainwashing seminar.

  12. Just to clarify what this award actually is... It is NOT an architectural award. It is NOT a design award. It is a 'construction award'. It was NOT won by Dreamworld. It was won by Alder Constructions. It is NOT national. It is given by Master Builders Queensland. It is NOT state-wide. It was only for the Gold Coast. The very specific category that it won was 'Tourism and Leisure facilities (on the GC) up to $10M.' In 2019 this category had no winner because it had no entries for the GC region. In 2018 it was won for the Woodroffe Hotel (Southport) In 2017 it was won for the Doomsday Ride at MovieWorld (who even knew?) The category did not exist prior to 2017. It is highly probable that this was the only entry for this category in the awards for the GC region, or that it beat out a surf club redevelopment (like the Sunshine coast region winner) or a Hotel Lobby redevelopment (like the Brisbane winner - Ovolo). This is not a prestigious award. This is a small, local award for construction companies to help promote themselves locally. I am sure the construction was challenging and they were likely given the award just for solving all of the technical difficulties with the retro-fit. But, as was discussed at the time and as @Slick said, the final result of the lumpy bulbous mess of a building is not at all like the promised renders, and the design of the building destroyed what was left of the park's entry statement aesthetic.

  13. You implied that Village didn't see any value in a billboard, and I know first hand that wasn't the case. I used facts, you used emotions, and then doubled-down on the latter whilst ironically implying snark in a snarky reply. Irony, ammirite?

  14. I think the new coaster car should be like and remember this is just my opinion that it should look like this the logo of the ride is on the front train with pics of the coaster Track warping around the train and on the back it would also have the logo
