A couple of the rides are world class, as good as anything you see in the world, but you can’t call the attraction world class, because the operations & queues, let them down. Rivals probably has the same wait time to a similar ride, so why am I unwilling to wait 2 hours to ride Rivals you ask? Queuing sucks in Australia. 2 hours feels like 3 hours. 3 hours feels like 5 hours. You barely move, the staff look like they are being told to slow the dispatches down, there is nothing to look at and most of the time it’s hot. In a queue where you feel like you are constantly moving, you don’t get bored & bothered because you feel like you are making progress. I don’t believe, I can last more than 2 rides at MW before I walk out the gates anymore.

It’s great when our parks are busy, when the parks are busy, it indicates they are probably successful, which can lead to better future attraction. The downside is some Gold Coast parks, believe it’s ok to have Disney queue wait times, even though the attraction doesn’t merit it. International visitors to the Gold Coast, commonly comment, how shit the operations are at the parks.

What I was referring to, or trying to say, more to the point is, because the standards weren't in place when DW reopened the rides, the work DW competed (other people completed on their behalf), did they cover the new standard requirements for a major inspection. If it did, The Claw wouldn't be up for a major inspection.
-
From my understanding, just because the Claw is 20 years old does not mean it is due for its second 10 yearly inspection. The legislative requirement asks for 10-year inspections from last major inspection, from the Code of practice 2023. (an engineer can also override the interval between inspection) The new legislative requirements were written because of the accident at DW. When was the last major inspection?

You could call it a soft opening. It's probably better to train people to operate slides, when people are going down the slides. -

WWW could have hired the new staff already but are still training them. It you're hiring new staff each year, you don't have many experienced people to do the training. -
Free coffee cups, you get with every ride purchase? Trident is the only ride purchased to save money, but the mistake is, that ride isn't suited for its location. I don't believe Huss isn't a cheap version of a Topspin and maybe SW had just got a dud one. Leviathan, you don't buy a wooden coaster to save money.

DW tried to save money in the most important stage of the project, and it shows. @Tricoart

A full Temple. Which we now know isn't happening. Anything else isn't what DW promised.
