Theme Park Girl

Carpentry work going on outside WWF, looks like they are fixing all the floorboards up outside the entrance

Drop floor and harness auto unlock in action - sorry about the slight shakiness, was zoomed in with my phone lol

I love this idea!!! That way you can also tell if the park is busy or not, and worth the trip out if you're visiting from across suburbs or from another town or city. Nothing worse than driving for an hour to a theme park and finding 90 minute waits for rides I would also like to suggest is making more of a big deal about attraction/ride maintenance. I do understand that there's currently a specific page for this on each theme park website, but there's nothing listed on the individual ride pages about them being closed at the time. I see a lot of complaints stem from disappointment of rides being unexpectedly closed, and knowing how much tourists pay for their tickets and passes, it would definitely be beneficial for the parks to try and make it as obvious as possible when attractions are down or unavailable - maybe even a rolling update on the purchase pages themselves? Either way, I think that this would cut back on complaints/negative reviews, as it means that guests can either consider visiting another day or another time if they aren't happy with the current offerings at that time.

Construction for the new Lego store at Dreamworld is about to begin

No mate, I wouldn't want you to leave. I just think you need to handle your page a bit more maturely. I'll be totally honest and blunt with you. I've seen two "closing down" announcements now for theme parks world, with a "staying open" announcement in the middle there somewhere. At one stage, you had two conflicting announcements up. It's been a little confusing, to say the least. I stopped following at that point because it was just too much drama for such a small page. And now you're causing more confusion with your existing fans by essentially abandoning them and starting a new page ? I've also seen you tread on the toes of other related pages who have supported you with blatant idea copying, which isn't a great move either. I confess was a little irked when I started the B&W "what ride is this?" image posts on my blog, only to see you start doing to see the exact same thing on yours not long afterwards. As @reanimated35 has said, these things take time and effort, and a bit of originality thrown in. Instead of confusing your followers with yo-yo'ing closing/reopening announcements and new pages, I think you're better off focusing on what you started with. Come up with new and fresh ideas to keep things interesting, and let your fan base build up by itself gradually. It will happen with dedication and persistence! I also personally think it's also way too early to be considering doing a live weekly stream as you don't have enough interest yet. Leave that to Ash to do, or better yet, help him to promote his, since it would be returning the favour for having you on it recently. He's put a lot of time and effort into his show, so you can understand why he would feel the way he does about it. Thats my honest advice anyway, take it or leave it. But I don't think you should leave altogether. Just maybe try things from a different perspective. I'd be happy to help support you, as I am sure other would be, if you go about it the right way ☺️?

That experiment does indicate a great point... that not enough parents are educating their kids about stranger danger, no matter what the circumstances are.

Yay! Our group must be nearly full now for this Saturday. Gonna be an amazing day ?❤️

Please ignore the above, can't get rid of the damn thing. Superman Escape rollercoaster track is beginning to look fabulous with its fresh coat of red paint ??

Gonna assume it's just for the landscaping of the area which is planned over coming months, though.

Tbh I'm surprised that peeps were expect the VR option to be free. All the parks charge for optional extras such as fast track, fast photos, flowrider, V8 simulators etc... so why wouldn't something like this come at an extra cost, too? At the end of the day, it IS optional. If you want to borrow a VR headset for your ride, you pay a rental fee to do so. Otherwise, it's the traditional rollercoaster experience ?

Cool. So the giant, awesome looking Doomsday statue won't be far off making an appearance then ??

@pushbutton You mean these? As the following discussion explained, it's pretty sure it's believed to be the location of the soon to be announced new rollercoaster, with Topgolf being built closer to AOS. But it's not confirmed at this stage.

It's actually not too bad since they pulled the train apart and put it back together again during this year's maintenance. I rode it on the morning it reopened and it was a lot smoother ride than what it has been prior ☺️?

From the official website: "Get ready for a high voltage thrill on the world’s first Arkham Asylum themed ride! This crazy experience will have adrenaline junkies harnessed into the Ivy League of Insanity for the shock of their life. Strap into a brand new train featuring electrifying on board audio and rocket through Arkham Asylum at speeds of up to 85km. Race along in the terrifying new trains and experience awesome upper body freedom like never before. Pull 4.2Gs as you face five stomach-churning inversions on this not to be missed coaster. Only the bravest of people can enter the Asylum to face one of the most infamous criminal minds on the planet, The Joker, as he attempts to infect all of Gotham City with dangerous monsters. With The Joker on the loose, riders will need to beware as the likes of Harley Quinn and Killer Croc could lurk around any corner." http://movieworld.com.au/rides-and-attractions/thrill-rides/arkham-asylum.aspx ETA: Bugger. Just realised that that's the normal ride blurb, despite the image on it being updated to show the VR headsets being used ? Damn, thought we had a potential storyline then ?

I totally agree. It's the ride I had predicted for VR months ago, and I think it's the best option as well, due to the length and track design. It also breathes another new lease of life into what would probably be the oldest ride there now! Very excited to experience my favourite coaster from a brand new point of view ???

You don't say! ?
