I don't know. What was the fault?

S&S Test track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2chGrSXCw0 S&S 4th Dimension Free Spin Prototype Roller Coaster. Manufactures build test tracks all the time. No CAD can ever replace field testing.

No it means I was laughing at you. You where the but of my joke. My open mic nights I pick on someone and everybody starts clapping. I'm a big hit.

Dude pull the cactus out of your ass. It was a joke. Did you not see I was laughing? I thought my post today are funny and not argumentative. You can see my other performances at the comedy open mic night. Scan that through your checkout.

I think none of our parks are truly up to date with the cancer and sunburn relationship.

LOL someone is on a power trip and wants everyone to know about it. My guess is a manager of a shitty supermarket. Pretty creepy if your spying on employees.

I'm sorry, I could not help myself. Normally I don't hand out any medals at the start of the month. On second thoughts this medal goes to totta3. His LEAKED INFO has paid off.

Why does this make you laugh. If you were stuck like this you would shit yourself. I don’t think Dreamworld would have enough cleaners to clean up the mess pushbutton would leave behind.

Unless it locked it while the ride was at the top, which would put him upside down at the bottom. The other option is whatever it rotates on broke, so it could not move back to the correct location to lock it in. I do find it strange that the ride did not stop in the air when it failed to return to its location or a estop was not hit. Could also be I don’t have a clue. I’m going for that option.

I think they are running the square wheels for early testing.

Yea I went to the first few with my kids before it became a teenage hookup night. Not to say it's not a good night out as long as you have earplugs.

This is more of an example of one thing that popped into the man’s mind. I don't think you change one thing and it fixes everything. It’s an example that DW doesn’t have to spend a lot of money to change something. Every 3 years DW has an identity crises. (Coinciding with a new CEO) I’m not a betting man but I would place a bet that DW 10 year plan is all about how much money they are going to make in the next 10 years and nothing to do with DW brand or what they are actually trying to achieve within DW. Never been to Paradise Country. is it any good? Do the Asian tourists eat the food?

In all my ramble you always know what I'm mean. “Uniquely Australian” is the point I was getting at. 2 examples where I see this works with tourist. Outback Spectacular When I drive past at night the carpark is always full of buses. Australia Zoo Zoos are all over the world but what makes a must for international visitors. Let’s face it, when I go overseas I have no problems spending money but when it comes to buying lunch at DW my pockets always tighten up. Also I seem to try more different types of food when I’m on holidays. I think our parks have got the locals covered and I think someone on holidays might be more willing to buy lunch or but a gift. Whenever I look at a parks end of year reports, I always see expenditure per person. (So it must be pretty important to them) It would be interesting to see this for a local against a tourist. To reduce my ramblings here (Alex help) If a park like DW could get that 13% of tourist back into the park by making DW a “uniquely Australian experience”, then DW could finally get me a Woodie. What’s a Uniquely Australian”? It’s not my job to know but if you scarped one of the food shops and had the Great Aussie BBQ as an option it could be the start of something and it wouldn’t be a huge outlay. The problem is I don’t think DW knows what it is. I do agree Joz. It just makes a man think if aligning or pretending to align yourself with a company and then denning any aliment to a company when it suits you has a use bye date. When does it do more harm than good.

It could be our parks are slow learners. I total understanding a park wanting to associate itself with a successful company but I also think it’s been stopping our parks from being something different and truly successful. Showing my age here but I remember when Dreamworld was full of tourist. Financial Year International Visitors Interstate visitor’s intrastate visitors 2009 18% 36% 46% 2008 18% 37% 45% 2007 20% 39% 41% 2006 20% 39% 41% 2005 22% 37% 41% 2004 22% 39% 39% 2003 21% 39% 40% 2002 26% 37% 37% 2001 31% 32% 37% 2000 30% 35% 35% 1999 30% 34% 36% 1998 31% 32% 37% The percentage of international visitors to the Gold Coast theme parks has declined from approx. 30% in 2000 to approx. 20% in 2009. This appears to be associated with the development of newer theme parks in Asia, particularly those with international brand names. The last time I was at DW I went to the sheep show. I had never been before but thought it was time to check it out. The first think that came to my attention was I was the only Aussie in the audience, the show even had a translator. The rest of the day I thought where had all the Asian gone too. The whole area around the show was packed with the Asian tourist but as quick as they came they were gone. I can’t believe it. Dreamworld have done all the hard work and got them in the gate but then they let them go. Why are they not staying around to check DW out? These are my thoughts but as per normal will be totally misguided but they are just my thoughts. It was great for MW and DW when people couldn’t afford to travel over to the USA but boy have times changed. I now go to the USA every second year and I don’t have to save for a life time to make the trip. So back in the day it made sense to borrow the Sea World Name or build a mini Disneyland. Now that I don’t even have to travel to the USA but I can travel even closer makes it easier for me to go to Disneyland or Universal. So this is what gets my undies in a knot. Even thou I give credit to DW for the improving there park of lately and before everyone jumps up and down and says DW has always had the globe. What is the purpose of coping universal’s idea. My theory- I go to the USA and get a great photo in front of the sign. I stick my photo on Facebook and tell or my buddies I’m a legend and while you’re at work I get to stand in front of a sign. Straight away all of my friends know where I am and wish they could also stand in front of a sign. Turn that around. Tourist from Japan goes to DW and stands in front of sign and puts photo on facebook. Friends of Japan man thinks is that not Universal studios. We have one up the road. Why did you travel all that way when I’m going there on Saturday for the cost of a bus ticket? I would have seen the opera house while I was in Australia, we don’t have one of them. Tourist to Australia increase every year so why are the numbers in the parks decreasing? I do see a fair few Asian at Sea World but what happens once Japan gets a new SeaWorld. Do they come to the Gold Coast and stop going to Sea World because they think they are the same thing. Yes Richard Sea World is a important pro-environment and pro-animal voice in Australia. And that's the direction I would like Sea World put. It need to run though the whole park but and not just parts of it. Bam “our name says we rescue animals" Bam "jump on a Jet Ski and help us rescue that animal” BAM Buy some of our shit because it helps us rescue the dolphins. (So in my crazy fucked up mind I want to go to Sea World because I’m saving the world. (Even thou technically the same as SeaWorld USA) but it’s a point of difference that make me feel like I did something. Same a DW why are tourist going there for half an hour and leaving. (My crazy fucked up mined is saying) they have seen it all before and want to see something else.

That's the problem Brad2912. My first words are "SeaWorld in America" but it’s very easy for you brain to override your eyes. If you look at some of the comments about the post, people are telling them they are not the same but they have already made their minds up. I do it all the time.

Sorry to have confused you but I was talking about USA Seawordl's profits being hit and because a lot of people are thinking that Sea World is SeaWorld it could damage Sea World. I'm even getting confused now to which SW I am typing.

Not that I can see what is going on in the photos. I find it a little strange the DW would be starting with the entry of the building. My thoughts are, xmas is coming and this will be the new temp mushroom shop or games area.

Just type in "seaworld profit drops" you will find pages and pages of information. If you also look up seas on the New York Stock Exchange you will see share prices have halved. Most of the people would not even know where Australia was and I would think none of them would know where the Gold Coast is located. Sea World has always tried to distant itself from SeaWorld in regarding to having whales in captivity and if you look it up there is a few articles where Sea World say they would never do it. I also read an article yesterday where a manager said Sea World had handed its license back 20 years ago and could not take or buy dolphins from the wild and the only time they keep a dolphin now is when it can’t be released back to the wild after they have cared for it. Not to many people around the world would ever travel to Australia to go to SW but what I’m more concerned about is what happen if major shareholders in village road show start selling their shares because the name sea world has been tarnished and they don’t want their business to be associated with the name. I was going to ask what would you call it but truthfully I have no idea myself what I would change it too.

SeaWorld in America has faced an 84% drop in net second-quarter income, from $37.4 million in 2014 to $5.8 million in 2015, in the second quarter. Revenue fell from $405.1 million to $391.6 million, a drop of 3%, in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to 2014. Consumers are still turning their backs on SeaWorld. The embattled marine life theme park company reported steep drops in profits and attendance and on Thursday, marking more loss in the wake of the damning documentary Blackfish. The company has been struggling to maintain consumer interest in SeaWorld in the wake of Blackfish, which offered a grim look at life in captivity for Orca whales, and has launched a series of campaigns discounts to keep visitors interested. I have seen a lot of reviews of Sea World Gold Coast where people are confusing Sea World with SeaWorld and are ripping it apart. I believe when Sea World first opened up it was smart to use Sea World as there name. I did read somewhere once that when Sea World found out the name was not registered in Australia they rushed to take the name so people would think SeaWorld was Sea World. Now that SeaWorld in America is having a lot of problems and Sea World in Australia is all grown up would it be wise for Sea World to change its name?

Great work XxMrYoshixX. That is the best thing you have ever said. You have just turned my live around. Ashley! Stuff the kids rides, there for kids. When Dreamworld was in the dark days it was TOT that pulled the punters.

that's why I'm not a English teacher.

No. I would never put my name on something like this. Just like you would not come to me to fix your car. Then if no one cares on how things look then why does DW spend money on putting in theming for a new ride or put a new beach in when they overhauled the Wipeout? Why do people complain about mushrooms scatted around the park? Just to be clear I'm not trying to make you not like it and we all have different taste which is a good thing. What I was more getting at is I hope they didn't pay someone to design a box that the cleaner could of done. I'm not having a go at cleaners either before someone suggest it I'm just had it as an example.

Just in case you don’t know what I think of this. “It’s a dog breakfast. Gazza being a fellow Architect, Do you like this? If you were a professor and a student handed this in, what grade would you give it? Do you think someone within Dreamworld designed this? Example would be the cleaner or the person who picks up the kangaroo poo.

Talk about destroy the façade of a building and it looks like DW could not even bother to repaint the original building. When you see shit like this, you know Dreamworld have no idea in what direction they are taking DW to.

What angle have you been looking at it? Do you walk on your hands?
