Seems as good a place as any to post this… nice little subtle dig at the park down the road….

I can confirm that Greg and most of the upper management in the park were very good leaders and some of them actually personally trained me when I worked for Movie World. Basically when Greg left, he took the good ones with him and left some of the others behind haha. I do remember one day when I was working, getting a bit of a shock when I looked up at the Superman control room to see Greg in the operators seat haha. And I know people that currently work for Dreamworld, and that same culture from what I have heard is very much alive in the park. Honestly from an employee standpoint, 2006 - 2014 really was some of the peak years for staff in regards to how they were treated.

3rd article about TRRR in the last 24 hours. if I’m one of the families I’m sick of it continuing to be brought up by the media every few months to get some clicks. move on.

I think DW being reminded how badly they failed, keeps the pressure on DW from going back there. Makes me feel safer going to DW. If it’s forgotten and never talked about, DW have less reasons to keep me safe.

Given how many of the VR leadership followed Greg to DW, i'm not sure how much trickling would be necessary! But agree, regardless of what the guy was or was not responsible for at Village, his people skills far exceed others in similar positions.

idk if news articles kept bringing up my traumatic experience from 8 years ago in order to get a couple dollars i wouldn’t be very happy.

From my past experience I have no doubt this would be the case. I know that back in Greg's leadership days at Village he would personally meet with team members from all departments who would receive positive guest feedback to thank them and also take the time to get to know a little bit about the individual. I'm sure this kind of approach would have trickled down to the current day leadership at DW.

from what i’ve heard they are recognised and treated very well, makes sense why all the staff seem like they actually want to be there.

I hope the staff are being rewarded/recognised also.

Only need to follow local journos and radio hosts on socials to see them out and about at SW Resort, TG etc - often with or tagging and thanking high ranking VTP employees. I'm sure they'll call it friendship, but its friendship that comes with perks and understanding. It's not illegal, its smart business if you want favourable media - but that doesn't mean DW deserve to be drilled regularly for not following suit.

The people who failed are no longer there. The people running the joint now are the most scrutinized or any theme park in the country, and don't deserve to be continually tarnished by the same brush their predecessors rightfully were. VTP largely gets free reign by the GC media because they wine and dine anyone and everyone from local paper, radio stations etc constantly. It's funny how just a couple of days out of from peak easter holidays, we get a rush on "Don't forget DW killed people" articles. In a couple of weeks we'll no doubt get a front page headline about how great The Flash Ride is too Yeah, and maybe i chose the wrong article of the 3 to be critical of. In isolation, its a worthy article, but on the back of 2 others by the same media organisation in the preceding 24-48 hours - thats planned.

I think its amazing theming. Assuming they are going for "Ghost Town"

The Cost to re build the Sky Voyager facade back to suit the area, while I believe is important to do at some stage, the capital can be better spent in the short term on more impactful projects that have better ROI. Such as a new ride. While impactful these works on Main street is more or less just repainting. The cost to rebuild the facades on Sky Voyager will be significantly higher.
