    I think that's the point though now isn't it. I just saw these photos on Facebook and thought to myself "oh well guess the lighting package for Flash is revealed...I'll go see what Parkz thinks" and sure enough exactly what I expected.

    Instead of a happy response to the fact it has lights, it's some post saying how 'oh it's Movie World clearly this is an awful idea and they are going to make it look terrible.'
    But no actually, it's for a special occasion and that's cool. You want to see terrible, go look at that bloody awful lighting on the Wave Swinger up the street, truely vomit inducing and that's the permanent scheme they've chosen!

    The last attraction Village Built was Leviathan and I might be biassed, however worldwide knowledgable people have said it's world class level (not just Village marketing dept). So why would their next thing suddenly assumed to be awful? Because everything is automatically bad because you don't like the CEO right?
    If Leviathan was lit up Rainbow for a special awareness thing I would think that was awesome.

    From what I understand the Park are doing all the lighting for Flash themselves in house and if this is the result (along with the sign) then how great!
    This whole Movie World is Evil and Dreamworld is the land of the gods just has to stop, each has good and bad points when you look at them objectively.

     

    Funnily enough the first lights for Wizard of Oz arrived in the country today, I look forward to coming back in a few months and finding out why they are awful too 😛 

    Bahaha

    The only thing I have seen in regards to that is that it’s hard to grow seagrass, but the prevalence of manatee in captivity seem to mean that’s a non-issue elsewhere. I think the main reason there aren’t more dugong is just ‘cause manatee have been so easy to source for many reasons, which (when mixed with some other things) just means it hasn’t really been that worth it for places that could’ve hypothetically kept dugong to choose them over a different species (like manatee).

    The dugongs that used to be there are the ones that were moved to Sea Life Sydney. But one has since died, and Pig’s life expectancy is up in the air due to the lack of study into the life expectancy of captive dugong, but after Pig inevitably passes there’ll be no more dugong in captivity in Australia. Hence why Sea World exhibiting them again would be pretty worthwhile.

    There aren't many dugongs kept in captivity world wide.  I suspect it's due to their diet and how they eat.

    The people who failed are no longer there. The people running the joint now are the most scrutinized or any theme park in the country, and don't deserve to be continually tarnished by the same brush their predecessors rightfully were.

    It's a reminder to all parks, not to put money first over people's safety.  Not just DW.

    VTP largely gets free reign by the GC media because they wine and dine anyone and everyone from local paper, radio stations etc constantly. 

    I wouldn't be making those allegations publicly, but I want to keep my house.
