Media have forgotten this is still on today and it’s hard to get any information out, but Bob Tan is up today. Bobby boy must be getting forgetful in his old age because he worked at DW for 28 years and he said he wasn't at DW when the planks were taken off. "The former "oracle" of Dreamworld's engineering department didn't consider major modifications to the Thunder River Rapids ride a safety risk, an inquest into four deaths on the attraction has been told". "The Gold Coast theme park's former general manager of engineering, Bob Tan, told coroner James McDougall modifications to remove slats from the conveyor belt had happened before he started working at the park - so he never saw a problem with the changes". "However, Mr Tan, whose testimony has been hampered by his poor memory of events at the park, said although he worked at the park for 28 years, he never saw any evidence that safety analysis had been carried out before the slats were removed".

Half the park hasn't been running. 6% downturn in guest isn't due the inquest. 6% downturn in guest is because DW feels like Okpo Land.

This is Parkz @AlexB No need to sit a bar examination amongst friends.

You're no longer allowed to say MW & DW in the same sentence. One's a shithole and one's not. Can you guess which one the shithole is. Hint, Skeeta would feel safer riding a Chinese knock off coaster.

TOT lift can't hold 30 people.

Hypothetically people don't like staying at ghetto theme parks. If you realign the boundaries between the Amphitheatre and Corroboree you also say goodbye to the RHLR and the Vintage Cars. Looks like we are finally getting a Luna Park Gold Coast. Pop quiz: Which is better? Luna Park Sydney. Luna Park Melbourne. Luna Park Gold Coast.

Please stop having good ideas because you are making others look incompetent.

The other thing of interest @Richard is what happens to the train now the blue lagoon is going going gone?

A bit from A and a bit from B but @Richard is correct in his dates of when 2 from every 3 was the final result. Not long after the opening DW starting removing some planks. The conveyor was to heavy and the chains kept breaking. If you look closely in that video, at the end you can see a plank missing. Over the years as the chains aged, more and more planks were removed.

Even with a lift they would probably be required to put in stairs for a fire escape but I don't think DW will go with a lift.

Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit.

Another pipe dream.

What has skeet missed? Where can we find you can dip your hat to a koala as you ride the lazy river? "We are also investing in a $15 million major extension to WhiteWater World which will consist of pools, waterfalls, beached areas, function and events space, cafes and pop up retail outlets. This new precinct will add significant capacity to the water park and provide a great space for families to enjoy".

That's good to know. Maybe they have asked Gold Coast City Council to approve their own work. </sarcasm Sorry I had to edit because I missed this. </sarcasm tag. Sorry I had to edit again to say the </sarcasm tag is for this post and not for DW doing illegal stuff.

I've been searching high and low for an application for an "operation works" to move this soil and I can’t find anything. Either this is being done illegally or it hasn’t started yet.

@themagicianDW only focus on the short term.

Makes one wonder what do WHSQ inspectors inspect when they inspect? Makes one wonder does WHSQ enter the theme parks? Makes one wonder what is the point of of WHSQ?

@AlexBthank you for showing us what paint on people looks like.

F%^K! I did it again. I didn't make it to NYE. My NY resolution was to read more so I put the subtitles on my TV. Must be a crap expansion if it opens in 6 weeks and we've seen nothing. @themagicianWhere are my photos? @AlexBdid you see what I did with the dates?

My fav part is when families travel from all over Australia to enjoy the beaches on the Gold Coast but instead of going to a real beach they pay to go to a fake beach right next door to the real beach.

Don't tell me, let me guess. The lazy river is going to be combined with sharks. As djrappa said.

Thanks a lot @Jamberoo Fan Now all I want to know is what is kid A & kid B pointing at? No sleep for me tonight.

Ardent AGM has no mention of the Dark Ride that was on the cards for DW. If you love the smell of animal faeces you might be in luck with a new wildlife experience on the cards. DW might think they are playing the safe card going with a wildlife attraction after showing how exceptional they are at providing a safe ride for guests, but let DW be warned, animals carry diseases. Here is a list for diseases that can be transmitted to humans. (Not my fault DW hasn't mastered google, aka SkyRyder). Anthrax Australian bat lyssavirus Cat-scratch disease Cryptococcosis Giardiasis Hendra Virus Hydatid disease Leptospirosis Melioidosis Psittacosis Q fever Ringworm Salmonella Sparganosis Tetanus Toxocariasis Toxoplasmosis Another piss-weak addition arrogantly brought to you by Ardent.

I prefer the 3rd option of jacking up the entry prices and having no fast pass. Never been a fan of a fast past and never will. People are stupid so you're always going to piss somebody off no matter what you do. Put the prices up to high and people say the park only caters for the rich.

Some of the same people have been promoted too. And the ones that left are now your local mechanics.
