  1. Sorry about that. That proves my theorem anyway. If you drink and post you’re a bloody idiot. Gazza if you read further down the page you will see it says Private Certifier The G.G.C.C. is only involved with the approval if the approval requires town planing or a relaxation. The reason why you see things pop up at different times is just dependent on when the private certifier lodges the plans they approved to the council. If the approval goes through the council then you are able to access plans from the net but if the approval has been approved by a private certifier then the council will charge you to make those plans available.
  2. Just to let everyone know on the 09.6.08 A JET SKI COASTER was approved to be built at Seaworld.
  3. I think of him more as a nightrider. He came in said what he said and then he was gone. Sometimes I just think people say something just for the sake of it.
  4. Good pickup Gazza. I was thinking that this was going to be a quite year. Yes there is no new Superman or TOT type ride that we know of yet but I still prefer lots of small additions to none. By the look of it each park on the Gold Coast will have something new by xmas.
  5. I think I have been misunderstood but I think I didn’t state my positioning correctly. The information I was talking about was more to show why sea world will not be getting a B&M. My personal stance on the spits height restriction is 100% supportive for this area. The Broadwater is a place that we all should be able to enjoy. I don’t understand what you mean by irresponsible development that the city is seeing. The Gold Coast has one of the highest levels of regulation to protect the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast is one of the fastest growing cities and people moving to the Gold Coast need somewhere to live. I think the infrastructure is outdoing a lot of other major cities. A new hospital is about to be built and the new light rail system getting designed now. I think the Gold Coast is better of the most cities. I would rather drive a car around the coast then in Sydney any day.
  6. You forget spotty, Dreamworld special project team need to pat each other on the back and tell them self that they are doing a good job.
  7. I just wanted to agree in what Gazza is saying. I keep hearing that these higher rides will be built at Sea World. I will tell everyone now that this will not happen, not unto at least 2020. I will give you the information that I know that has made me make this conclusion. I only really have to say one name Ron Clarke. For any one who does not know who Ron Clarke is you can check it out at Wikipedia. Ron Clarke is the current Mayor of the G.G.C.C. and has been from 2004. In the latest council elections for the gold coast developers where advising on voting against him. My personal perspective of him is he is a 71-year-old man that needs to retire. I personally find him anti development. You only need to look at a couple of weeks ago when the G.G.C.C. closed down the WRX Experience at Pimpama. Attempts to set up an auto precinct on the Gold Coast have been repeatedly thwarted by some councillors, including a recent push for a motocross track at Molendinar. I find the G.G.C.C. attitude towards motor sport amusing when they put out thousands of residence each year for the Indy but will not let local’s have there own track. If you look at the save our spit web site you will find that Ron Clarke is a supporter. Here is a list of what these originations have been fighting. To do List Shipping Terminal Developed stopped Marine Stadium Developed into a Marina stopped Marine Simulator stopped Ferris Wheel removed Stick to the Town Plan no High-rises on Our Spit! Keep the atmosphere and open spaces for all to enjoy Gazetted - for protection forever! This is how this group protested their position to the council about Sea Worlds Eye. Now whether or not you like ferries wheels... this wheel sets a very very bad and dangerous precedent for height levels on The Spit. It is too high, too dominating and in the WRONG PLACE. But needless to say, the developers will be cheering it on. Put simply, it sets a terrible precedent - on what basis can anyone object to a structure of similar height within Sea World. And by extension, north, east and south ... if the Planning & Environment Court allow Sea World's appeal to approve the Eye as a permanent structure on The Spit? The community has made its views clear that Spit height levels should be limited to 3 storeys maximum; refer to Vision 2020 and recent petitions and public dissent over suggestions of higher levels of development. Contributes to the unfair public perception of the Gold Coast as a cheap, glitzy, fairground town, not a beautiful and natural place to live, visit and enjoy. Main Beach and Southport are beautiful places and no one company or tourist facility has the right to so degrade the visual amenity and meaning of the area. So to end my dribble, anything that is over 3 storeys high has to go through town planning. Ron Clark’s team has to sign off on any amendment or relaxation to height restrictions. Ron Clark supports Save Our Spit.
  8. I don’t understand where you are heading with this. The topic Title “Warner Bros” Your opening statement said, “I decided to make a Warner Bros. park.” Later you say “I am not trying to copy the Gold Coast park” Much like the music you created and posted, web site and this recreation of Warner Bros this is another half ass attempt of doing something that has been done before. I have seen better attempts over the years, on this web site of recreating theme parks.
  9. I know with my dealings with the G.G.C.C. they are taking along time to get anything out at the moment. Only my speculation but if the council has put the job on hold means they have requested further information from Dreamworld and are waiting on Dreamworld to return the request.
  10. I don’t find anything said in this discussion, Heartless, unpatriotic, immature, and completely inappropriate and there is nothing wrong with what has been said. I think your looking at this topic with the half glass mentality. To your reply about Dreamworld operating for a shorter period for full cost. You just have to go to a scream night when the tickets are half price for fewer hours to see that dreamworld can reduced the ticket price on the gate. With the southern states still on break I think Dreamworld would not have a problem filling up. One more thing SHADOWXL you have not done anything wrong and there is no need to apologise.
  11. I was just thinking how many rides would stop operating now a new ride is getting built. Here is my theory- this new ride is replacing the stingray. I have not been to Dreamworld for a while but I believe the stingray has still not been replaced on top of the stingray. I think the stingray was put back up for the Xmas period and will be removed once this new ride is built. I am getting a feeling that Dreamworld is planning for a new ride to be built where the stingray is.
  12. That’s why I was planning to go to Dreamworld on Friday but now I am not going to waste my time. I think I might call into Movieworld instead.
  13. I know what time Dreamworld is closing. I think Dreamworld are once again putting money over guest.
  14. I just want to know what they think about Dreamworld not extended their closing time on Anzac Day but still charging the full price for the day. For those who don’t know all the parks, on Friday, do not open to 1.00pm. Movieworld and Seaworld have extended their closing time. I find this to be very Dreamworld typical.
  15. I don't think there has been any increase in a fire risk in southeast Queensland. If you haven’t noticed it has been one of our wettest summers for years. As a building designer, dreamworld would have no problems getting people out.
  16. I don’t know people are always in a rush. The expansion of WWW is currently in the first step of approvals. From what I can see everything has run smoothly and council should give its final stamp soon. Don’t forget that the first approval is only a DA. Once the DA is approved, the final plans and engineering will need to be completed and then lodge for a BA. There will be no dirt turning for a while yet.
  17. TERRI Irwin has announced plans to turn Australia Zoo into an international tourist mecca comparable to Disneyland. At a VIP breakfast at the zoo today, the widow of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin said the zoo on Queensland's Sunshine Coast would be Irwin-owned well into the future as it expanded with a safari park and accommodation. There is also a lot of talk that there will be ride attractions included in the expansion.
  18. Well poll is out now and it shows us what we already where thinking of the dreamworld CEO and higher management team. Can you believe that the thunderbolt polled better then the Motor-Coaster.
  19. I remember about ten years go a Brisbane radio station did a stunt with the last on left on the thunderbolt won. It lasted for a week and the contestants also had to sleep on the thunderbolt. The contestants only got off the ride for 15min a day to go to the toilet and shower. I think it was called ride to you hurl.
  20. Just came across some more information on the removal of the eye. KEN Jackson wants to see the Sea World Eye stay on the Gold Coast but will lose it to another location unless the city council makes a decision soon. It emerged yesterday that states including Victoria and Western Australia, as well as overseas destinations, are all after The Eye. Mr Jackson is the director of The Eye Investment Company, which he says is set to buy the 60m giant ferris wheel for $8.5 million. The Gold Coast company has already laid down a hefty deposit for The Eye, but Mr Jackson said yesterday it would look at other options if the Gold Coast City Council did not approve a new location for the ferris wheel by the end of next week. Sea World will start dismantling The Eye on Tuesday and Mr Jackson said his firm was interested in the purchase only if the wheel could be kept on the Coast. The Surfers Paradise Transit Centre has been proposed as the new home and on Monday the council gave tentative support for it, with the council's economic development department fast-tracking a feasibility report. The report will examine the impact of The Eye on traffic near the proposed relocation site and safety and construction issues. Mr Jackson said the council had to act quickly. "We're purchasing it from the owner on the conditions we get a site for it on the Coast," he said. "The owner has got interest from Perth and a major city in Victoria as well as options overseas. "Why should we let it go to another city when we have got people here trying to purchase it to keep it for the Coast? "We'd love to put it anywhere but we need confirmation council will give us a site and we thought the Transit Centre would be ideal." The Eye Investment Company would need a site guaranteed for lease for at least two years until a permanent home was found. The model erected at Sea World was made by Swiss company Ronald Bussink Professional Rides and is the world's largest transportable observation wheel. Since its arrival in November, 2006, more than 680,000 people have ridden on The Eye. Storey and Castle town planner Jake Storey is working with Mr Jackson to keep The Eye on the Coast and is in talks with the council to secure the transit centre site. "It's a well-recognised facility and a very important tourist attraction," he said. "We certainly don't want to see it go and all reports we have had is that the community feels the same. "We're simply not just putting it in the transit centre. "We intend to appropriately embellish the space and improve the amenities of the site and the surrounding area."
  21. Seven people were trapped 10 metres above the ground on a rollercoaster at Melbourne's Luna Park after a safety mechanism fell off. Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) senior station officer Ron Young said they were called to the iconic fun park in bayside St Kilda at 12.36pm (AEDT) to rescue riders on the Metropolis rollercoaster. He said management had stopped the ride after an anti-reverse mechanism fell off one of the two cars mid-ride. Officer Young said the ride could have continued in safety, as the other car's mechanism remained in place, but management stopped it as a precaution. He said firefighters used a platform ladder similar to a cherry picker to rescue the seven people. They were all taken off by 1pm. "There was no scene of panic. They were all fine," he said. The ride is described on the Luna Park website as a "fast and furious" experience "not for the faint-hearted". Not that interesting.
  22. LOL I like how people talk them selves up. If you really new what was going on then you would know the council has stopped the application on the shed because a MCU is required first.
  23. There will be no construction for some time yet. The plans for the expansion are at town planing at the moment. Once Town Planing has approved the scope of the extension the plans will have to be submitted for a building approval. The reason why Town Planing is required is because this work is outside of what is allowed in the Coomera Town Plan. The building approval is to make sure the plans comply to the amend Town Plan, Australian Building Standard, the fire department and so on. We also don’t know at the moment if WWW are planing to open all the new attractions at once or if is will be rolled out over the next ten years.
