The main tower is just about all gone Also the flood lighting for steel Taipan is on, cool.

That's simply not true. Here's an article from a reputable news source. Here's their data. Vaccines lower transmission rates and enormously lower your risk of death if you are infected. Here's another article from another reputable news source. Here's supporting data. You are correct - it's 100% a choice. Societies are full of choices - when you get on a road, you agree to the rules we as a society agree upon (don't drink and drive, don't speed etc.) - if you don't like those rules, you're welcome to challenge them and/or simply choose not to participate. The thing I loathe about the "democracy is over because they're forcing me to get vaccinated" argument is that while everyone is protesting about faux government over-reach, the government is actually over-reaching and no one is blinking an eye about it.

About time. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 As of 17th Dec, folks need to be fully vaccinated to enter Queensland anyway so it'll affect a whole lot of 0% of interstate travellers. As for Queenslanders, if you're part of the tiny fraction of folks who think vaccines are bad, speak to a trusted GP and get vaccinated. Vaccine hesitancy and vaccine mandates aren't a new thing. All in all, i'm very doubtful it'll impact business in a meaningful way, and these kinds of mandates have shown to increase vaccination rates, which is a really good thing.

The lurkers right now

With the space for the element I would have done a zero g stall like on Taiga. 0:40 mark

Please tell me what you did here! It's hurting my brain!

They are going to replace Sledgehammer's temporary fencing with the usual red one sometime soon. I visited last weekend for the 4th time this season and Sledgehammer was operating but only with the 240 degree cycle. I did get to ride the 360 cycle many times a couple of weeks ago and it's pretty awesome. The ride has had A LOT of teething issues but they are fixed for now and it should be running with both cycles this weekend. Little Nipper has also had a lot of issues. One time I visited we did once cycle before stopping in the station and we had to sit there for about 15 minutes with those bulky restraints digging into our sides lol. I am the biggest fan of Halloscream and while I still found some flaws with this years event it definitely felt the most complete of all the years so far. I don't know if I just got lucky or something but RainDead was actually my favourite maze with DecayMart close behind. House Of Hex I felt was cool and different but I did prefer last years Doll House experience as the sets for that were incredible. Boomerang is also a very fun little coaster with some of the best operations in the park. I don't mind the look of the new area and thought it was pretty cute. Overall, Luna had quite a weird re-opening but I still enjoyed myself and that's what counts. Wild Mouse will most likely not open till start of next year and Rotor maybe around the same time as Big Dipper.

* see’s a post about vaccines on Parkz * Me: oh, this is going to be fun. Real fun.

The boiler and the locomotive frame were loaded on a different truck but was not want quick enough to get a photo

I'd rather have a custom family thrill water ride than a thrilling water coaster to be honest. Yes Dreamworld is lacking in thrill attractions but they are also lacking in family thrill attractions. A custom log flume will also give Dreamworld the chance to expand it's snake themed area and draw more families towards that area too. Dreamworld's main theme is Australia and there are many places to theme a log flume to in Australia. I would see a Ultra Surf better fitted in Ocean Parade rather then Rocky Hollow.

Correct. Many years ago I got in touch with the park directly and was told that Space Probe was scrapped.

Dingo's and babies rarely go well together...

I haven't seen it run yet, but the photo updates i've seen show rub marks on the track, and the trains have swapped positions from the storage bay at least once, so there is definitely movement. Whether that's a cycle or just shuffling, i'm not sure but I believe the rub marks might indicate sneaky cycles going unnoticed.

Fixed

You're thinking about Bounty's Revenge

Ricks is having a buffet dinner experience during the event Always there I thought 💭

I’m not here to argue, to each their own. I’d happily sit down and have a beer with anyone, vaccinated or not.

I agree it is a choice. We make choices in life every day - each choice has its own consequences and we must make ourselves aware of those consequences - and accept them if that is the choice we make. Vaxxed people have fewer and lesser reactions - and I believe are infectious for shorter periods - so the odds of them spreading it are also therefore reduced - so I respectfully disagree - you aren't 'just as likely' although I agree it is still possible. The more of the herd that have it, the less likely it is to spread though. True - but we're also wearing masks, social distancing, capacity limits, non-vertical consumption and so on. Many of these things will be phased back or phased out when the vaxxed targets are met. I accept that everyone is entitled to have, and share their opinion in a respectful manner. I personally don't understand that view though (to be clear, I accept you have that opinion, I just don't understand it). I guess though that it's kind of like how some religious folk don't accept that Dinosaurs were a thing - scientists and other -'ists dug up their bones, found fossil records etc - but they just didn't accept that to be truth. (despite religion causing loads of wars throughout history - the world didn't end because of those differences!) Your opinion is again respected, but I don't see this as anyone forcing segregation - folks had a choice, remember? this is the consequence. As for moving backwards as a state - I for one am very glad to be living in Queensland, and not Victoria.

You must be fun at parties.

They have also laid down the turf

I'm not interested in the covid vaccine debate in terms of choice - but it's a choice. As a vaccinated person you are just as likely to get covid from a vaccinated person than from a non-vaccinated. You are mingling with unvaxxed people every day now, and will be until the 17th. In my opinion its a giant crock of shit. You are all entitled to your opinions, i respect them, but i personally disagree with segregating society and moving backwards as a state.
