  1. If they know what height it is subsequently why do, they not know the max speed. Number of trains. Launch or lift hill?
  2. "The ACCC is concerned by the continuing nature of these complaints, particularly as it suggests that items are not available for the price at which they are advertised. This may contravene the consumer protection provisions of the Trade Practices Act 1974 and businesses should be aware that the Act gives consumers rights of private action in relation to such matters".
  3. What's 1 or 2 cents right. It’s enough for people to complain about it on MW Facebook page. MW replied to the first by telling them to contact customer service to sought it out. Another 4 or 5 people posted photos of their receipts into the comments. 10 minutes’ latter all the comments and photos where gone. This kind of stuff need to be handled better because now everyone who posted photos and viewed it would think MW is trying to hide something. You can’t just add charges and not explain it to customers or even try and hide it.
  4. Sorry ladies and gentleman but this will be my last one, I promise. These keep rolling in and they make me laugh a bit. This is all that was submitted. "The grass area floods after heavy rain, has that been considered?" I’m still working out why so many people are worried about the extra traffic. They are adding 770 car parks and taking a bigger overflow area away. I doubt there would be more than an extra 100 car parks in the end. One other thing to note is by splitting the car park up we end up with an extra exit and entrance. I am no traffic expert but I would think at the end of a fright night having 2 exits would remove the traffic out of the area more quickly.
  5. Rounding up at MW on Eftpos transactions. Is it legal? Looks like MW deleted the post from Facebook where people were uploading their receipts.
  6. It's all a good laugh. I like this person below. I never knew the stunt show ran too 11 at night. I did a bit of research and this person brought their house in 2012. MW purchased the piece of land in 1990. I also look at the properties that will be directly affected and 3 out of the 4 were purchased last year. I do understand why they think they don’t want it built but I find it hard to empathise with them knowing most of them have purchased their homes in the last 5 years and they should have checked who owned the block of land and not assumed it was public land. A few of the applications questions have already answered in the MCU for the car park. 1. Council has already outlined in their information request that MW will be required to upgrade the road out the front of the car park to take the load of the extra traffic. (this is normal practise and MW would already have assumed this). 2. Council directed MW the car park needs to be secure when it’s not open so people won’t loiter in it. 3. Council asked for clarification on how people will get from the car park to MW without interacting with traffic. “PAVING PARADISE TO PUT UP A PARKING LOT- A carpark should not be built n this primary residential area. It is not fair to the existing residents. This will have a major impact to the residents of oxenford, in regards to traffic, noise and an influx of tourists in our local community. It will have an immediate impact to the value of houses. Movieworld already impacts the residents living in Oxenford in so many ways. We already have to tolerate the immense amount of noise from the stunt shows, (untill 11pm at night) rides, tourists and their PA system that can clearly be heard from my residence. Not tomention the horrific traffic that creates chaos within oxenford and access roads to the highway, that this carpark will obviously add too. We want to keep our community quiet, peaceful and keep traffic minimal - this is why people move to Oxenford. I strongly oppose this carpark.” The one problem for the residence is they might want to be careful on what they wish for. If MW are not allowed to develop this land, then MW are likely to sell this land because there would be no reason to hold onto it and continue to pay rates for it. The likely purchasers of the land would be a developer. What would a developer do? I can only guess but this prime land. I believe it’s would most likely end up with a hundred units on it. I know me personally I would prefer and overflow car park then 100 2 storey units looking over my back fence.
  7. The residence is starting to lodge the applications submissions to the car park. While I do understand that most people would not want to have a house next to a car park. Most of the submissions from the local residence will not even be shown to the people that make the decisions. If a resident was that upset about the proposal you would think that residence would take the time to read the proposal. Anyway, most of these resident submissions never make it because it must be in relation to the city plan and not just I don’t like it. The applications submission period is just not for people who don’t want it to go ahead. You can also make your own submission supporting the car park. William Owen-Jones Division 2, Gold Coast 7 News Gold Coast ran this story last night regarding the application by the owners of "MovieWorld", VRS Holdings for 731 carpark on the 3.2 hectares of land that they own on Kopps Road (with frontage to California Drive and Michigan Way, Oxenford). Please note that the property is not a Reserve. The property is freehold land that I understand has been owned by VRS since the theme park was originally established. It is currently zoned residential, and is mowed and maintained by VRS Holdings (not the City). There are approximatley 40-50 mature trees on the property and it is proposed that most would be removed (however, landscaping plans have also submitted by the applicant). As the proposed use is neither a contemplated "Self Assessable" or a "Code Assessable" land use under the City Plan, the Application triggers a higher level of assessment called a "Material Change of Use". There is no ability for the City to simply refuse an Application, as each application needs to be assessed on its merits against acceptable solutions that may be advanced to mitigate impacts. However, a Material Change of Use does provide residents, and other interested parties, until the 28th November 2016 to make submissions, either in support or otherwise for the application (and yes as a major employer in the City, with over 1,000+ staff 'MovieWorld' also has a lot of residents in the area who may well be supportive of their growth plans). All submissions/comments will be reviewed by City Officers in making their recommendations, and the application will ultimately be assessed against the City Plan. Accordingly, it is very important that residents who are unhappy with the proposal make their submissions on town planning grounds. Some of the applications that I have cut & pasted. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “WE DO NOT AGREE ON THIS APPLICATION MCU201600948 & PN232620/13/DA1 LEAVE THIS AREA AS IT STILL STANDS. DO NOT BUILD DO NOT BUILD DO NOT BUILD DO NOT BUILD” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “It will be chaotic in this area” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “I am writing to complain re the proposed parking lot to be built by movie world this is not something the residents going on Kopps rd or Michigan rd can have , the traffic is horrendous as it is and the roundabout can not afford any more traffic either . We will protest this as far as we can , we will go to any tv stations or protest out the front of movie world what ever it takes for this stupid, ridiculous ,idea to be stopped. Its unfair to the residents of this area we already have to deal with noise from the park , what an eye sore also. There is land near the other car park they have , use that or purchase it if not their land instead of incroaching on residents private homes. Why should we be subject to more traffic and noise we vote for councilors to look out for us so how about doing your job and helping out the little people for a change, instead of the big companies with loads of money. This is unfair and unjust there will be a lot of angry, unhappy residents if this is not stopped. I hope common sense will see this ended. regards a very very very very very very angry Oxenford resident@ Hopman court.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the link if you want to have a look for yourself. http://pdonline.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/masterview/modules/applicationmaster/default.aspx?page=wrapper&key=233422#
  8. @Brad2912 He never said he took them today. @Santa07 It's just you. The photo is just a close up of the creates. @Jamberoo Fan How? Is it because they are both construction sites?
  9. @Brad2912 Are you sure? Pop said he was never coming back on Friday and today is Monday. It could be your old age catching up with you . Might be time to get your eyes checked. @themagician Who said the most of the checks are complete?. I only say this because on my radio station they said the checks are still on going.
  10. @xRazzBerryx I gave you a neg rep because I am sick of seeing this things face. My photo is more appropriate. @themagician Thanks for the photos.
  11. @Brad2912That's a loop. How else can they get it to work if they don't turn the world around? Anyway, if you are in the USA and could see the footings from where you are. This would be your view.
  12. That's correct @diesal11 a forum should be about discussion. That’s the problem with giving somebody a neg rep. It doesn’t add anything to the conversation and nobody knows why you gave it, if you don't add a post. If you gave a neg rep them, you obviously had a thought about what was said so why not share it with us. @reanimated35 Welcome back and don't leave me alone with @AlexB again.
  13. Why can't somebody say it's boring. Sometimes I don't get this site. If somebody doesn't like a ride and would prefer to ride something else why can't he say so? The people always giving negative rep to people just because they have a different idea to yours just shows how narrow minded some people are on here. Tends to be the same sheep that do it too. I don’t like the ride either and find it boring. It’s short. I have been on bigger slides then the final drop. If I took a 6-year-old on it, they would probably love it. I find keeping a ride around because you once loved it when you were 6 a bit strange. I would prefer a new ride to create new memories and new fun times.
  14. Flash (AKA Lightning) has 6 and Blue Fire has 5 so I'm thinking something in the middle. 5.5. @AlexB But do they have the track to carry that extra load? I would think it would be cheaper to buy an extra train instead of upgrading the whole track.
  15. @Brad2912Oh, god I just realised you sound like me with your analysts of things. Nah I want to talk about the coaster again and I believe somebody has already set up a new topic about why don't you love me mummy. I would like to talk about how many trains do people think this coaster needs or wants? I want 3. My theory is if you are already splashing out on this coaster, why stop at 2? In the scheme of things what is an extra million? (Skeet does not know how much a train cost or pretends too)
  16. We have a topic for the new coaster and this is going to confuse skeet if we have 20 different conversations about the same ride. You can just ask a question without creating a poll. @Tim Dasco Thank you
  17. @Jamberoo Fan A. Adjusting nut B. Adjust and lock bolt together C. Lock bolt open. If you adjust one of these connections up or down. You will move the top of the pole by its length. In theory, the longest pole on Mr Hyper Coaster would be around 60m If you adjusted one of the connections up or down by 1cm you could move the top of the pole by 1.2m Once track is complete and all adjustments are made. The lock nuts are locked and the area between the footing and metal plate are filed with concrete. Why did I tell you this. No reason at all. Just had 5 min to kill at work
  18. Thank you @Theme Park Girl I clipped your photo. This is the footing that a couple of members thought would fall over if hit by a car.
  19. What to you expect. One day they are talking about coasters and the next day this. This mum experienced four pain-free labours — before enjoying a three-week orgasm
  20. As far as I know the sign it still above the door. All these theme park enthusiasts and nobody has spotted the sign. There is a photo somewhere in the forums that shows the cottage. Free positive feedback for the person that finds it.
  21. @razza1987 It's not a house. It's a very small cottage and no to your question.
