Courier Mail say no Big 9 if you can believe what they say.

So, who went last night and wants to share their thoughts with us. @Jordan M. And your using Parkz for you own benefit without paying for it.

Kopps Road, Oxenford - update on the proposed 731 space car park City planning officers yesterday advised that:- "The application completed Public Notification on 28 November where 149 properly made submissions were received. "I am currently going through each of the submissions where the main points of objection so far have been around amenity, road infrastructure, increased traffic, pedestrian safety. The Decision due date is 4 January, however a Decision on the application won’t be made by this time." There are outstanding issues that require further clarification by the applicant. At this point in time a Decision isn’t contemplated until sometime next year."

I only want to ride WW if I get the back seat. No. Think of the children.

My thoughts on Eat Street Markets, Night Quarter and The FairGrounds. Eat Street Markets This was the first and it does shows when you go. The layout with the dead-end lanes create a lot of choke points. Has very limited seating and the entertainment is limited. Most of the food venders are good but a couple of them could step it up. I like the idea of the drive-in next door but the distance between the market and drive-in makes it hard to bring food back to your car. They do have a bus that travels between them and it is free but when you have a pram it is easier to walk the 20 plus minutes. 7 STARS Night Quarter I believe this is the next venture the owners of Eat Street built. Night Quarters is built out of shipping containers stacked on top of each other. Night Quarter also has a purpose-built underroof stage area. The food vendor is like Eat Street with most of the food outlets being good with just a few misses. The live entertainment is good with one main stage that normally has 3 different bands playing on it during the night. There is also an Australia BBQ area that play more rock music or hard for me to admit but my generation music. You also come across some music been played down the streets. I find it much easier to get around with my daughter in toe. The only negative I have is a bit more seating would be good but it has shit loads more seating them Eat Street. 9 STARS The FairGrounds From the sounds of it this might be the most family friendly one of all of them. Night Quarter is a step-up from Eat Street Markets and I hope they take the lessons from both places into the design of The FairGrounds. You can read the full media release yourself but the company does mention rides. Link to the official Media Release. http://thefareground.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/The-Fareground-Media- “There will also be an amusement area for families with rides and fairground games appealing to kids both young and old.” I’m not expecting much in the way of rides rides but what is for them to nail the feeling you are in an old fair ground. I've added some photos of Night Quarter too.

I'm sure after the money invested with it they wouldn't simply get with rid of it.

@Jamberoo Fan Just to add to AlexB with a picture. The area you visit might be round in shape but the land needed is a lot bigger. Disney land in CA. To add to this- Disney also owns this land. I've been told by a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend who knows somebody that Disney also owns area marked in green and 5 years ago Disney also did a buy back of some of the land surrounding Disney.

It might be time for you to get a new insider. My insider said your insider is full of shit. I do crave a good themed ride but there comes a point when the ride is that good, it doesn’t need much theming, if any.

@AlexB What was @Theme Park Girl doing at your house at 4am? Now I know why I haven't see her around much.

@reanimated35 When the storm interrupted my sleep at 4am today, I was out of neg votes by 4:30am. In saying that, those people are very lucky as I have moved all my votes to @SunshineTom

You’re not getting it. The building is standard and nothing special. The theme is added onto it and can be easily removed.

100% I do. It's a standard building. Nothing different from your local Coles store re-fitting out their shop every few years. A friendly word from skeet. From time to time you will come across people here who actual know what is going on. So, if you say “incorrect” you better have something to back it up.

Hogwash. DW would be paying to build the new Lego store. If Lego wanted to cancel the contract they would of.

After checking out all the land around the Markets it is safe to assume that it will be built on the land indicated by a ferris wheel. WTF Skeet has gone crazy and attaching random pictures. Application in for a new Bunnings. Application in for a new residential development. (looks like the cows will finally go) Songcheng Legendary Kingdom could even connect the new ferry services to it.

Another new project for the Gold Coast http://blankgc.com.au/largest-night-market-in-australia-coming-to-the-gold-coast/ http://thefareground.com.au/ Right in the middle of Carrara. The FareGround will deliver all of that, and more, when it opens in early 2018. The new market is a collaboration between Carrara Markets owner (and Sirromet Wines founder), Terry Morris and NightQuarter entrepreneurs Michelle Christoe and Ian Van der Woude. The initative will see an unused urban space, adjacent to Carrara Markets next to the Gooding Drive roundabout transformed into a buzzing night market, right before the Commonwealth Games hit town. Michelle Christoe told Blank Gold Coast that they’re taking their inspiration from old world fairgrounds. Think carousel rides, ferris wheels and sideshow alleys. And then they’re throwing into the mix 40 chef-driven street kitchens, eclectic bars, circus, live music and 30 creative local arts and craft vendors. To top it all off, FareGround will also create a new 750 person live music venue. The local music scene has long lamented the gap in the market for a venue this size. So as well as offering opportunities for street performers, buskers, circus acts and theatre performers, the venue is also expected to attract touring bands wishing to cater to that mid-size audience range. Striking a balance between nostalgia and innovation, the architectural design of the site will draw from whimsical images of fairgrounds and carnivals of days past, while innovating with upcycled materials to create something completely new. If this is not just a quick chuck together development and they are drawing inspiration from old world fairgrounds and are truly looking at recreating it, I would check it out.

I like the idea of a "Lego Tiger" on the roof escaping out of DW.

@Brad2912If it was we would have dinosaurs roaming free and guest bathing in the water features. DW Facebook replied to a question. (Hey Joshua! I haven't had confirmation on what exactly will be operating in Dreamworld but we'll have updates to share this week so stay tuned). In short "stayed tuned")

1. If you think about it somebody already has the rights to Jurassic Park 2. Why does it have to have the Jurassic Park’s naming rights? 3. The last time I looked it up nobody owned the rights to dinosaurs so why couldn’t you do a dinosaur park without the name and come up with your own ideas instead of coping a movie? 4. What is with you and all your B&M coaster talk? Why would somebody want all B&M coasters? Talk about a dead giveaway that you need your B&M coaster cherry popped. 5. What type of water features are you looking at adding? 6. I’ve never liked the idea of a zipline in a park. Went to WnW yesterday and didn’t see one group go on the SkyCoaster. I asked a staff member and they said it was open. (Side note: What is going on with the Zipline at WnW? Has is ever operated?) This is what I would do with 500 Million dollars. I wouldn’t buy a theme park or build one. I would travel the world visiting as many places as I could while drinking a lot of piss on the way. Why would I go to your Jurassic Park and only ride B@M coasters, a zipline and a few spin and spew rides while looking at pretty water features?

DW have spent the big bucks, just not in the area you want. DW spent 55 million on WWW. I don't think DW adding one 55 million dollar ride would ever of given them the same return that WWW has. You have to remember that DW charged you for the Thunderbolt when it first opened. What happens if this new coaster opens up at MW and they charge you $5.00 to ride? Would you be happy to pay it? If DW can't make a return of a ride, why would they build it? What B&M coaster do you want? When I go shopping for a new car I don't say I want a new KIA. I would say I want a new KIA Carnival because I have 48 kids to stuff inside.

99% of the time the link changes which will require you to look up the application. https://publicdocs.c1.sccl.qld.gov.au/hprmwebdrawer/RecordHtml/7564029 Application number: MCU16/0279 Go to Sunshine Coast Council and locate PDonline.

Craig Davidson said on the radio today DW hasn't made any plans for the memorial. He also said when they talk to the family about and if the families don’t want one than DW will not build it

I'll see you @Gazza and raise you with this. "This application “replacement rides” is an interim step in the upgrading and modernisation of Aussie World. Later this year, an additional application will be made seeking 5 new rides. This application will be followed by an application for a full masterplan in 2017" If that's your idea of a pick line you better try harder. I'm not that easy but I do accept Fast Passes as gifts.

Maybe you should learn to read.

Now that the land has been developed behind AW it will be interesting if it gets the same resistance that MW is getting. I don't know where to stick this: Aussie World has lodged a Fast Track Approval for this. Typhoon 360 (replacing Octopus) Crazy Mouse (replacing Wild Mouse)

I think the new pricing is up. Summer pass looks good. What is the difference between the summer pass and the annual pass.
