Park Addict 93

It's a shame guests can no longer get up close to the Baldwin or Firetruck but it makes sense considering how stupid and litigious people can be.

I'm not sure if it's due to the current light works, or winds but I did note the fountains were not running on Sunday.

Very much this considering they havent maintained the digital wait time sign at rivals.

I’m not surprised doing something that improves the guest experience these days (and costs money) would be very out of character for the park.

It was a general RACQ perk for tickers purchased via them at one point, one of my old passes purchased via RACQ at the time has “Early Entry” printed on the physical card.

I have certainly had issues with Bikash and vice versa but as much as I hate to agree with @DaptoFunlandGuy I have to agree with his statement.

Very much this, happy and valued staff make a huge difference. I have heard an absurd amount of stories from staff former and current about a toxic workplace culture and have witnessed firsthand management make threats. Very much agree with this, Greg leaving and BGH Capitol takeover marked a sharp decline and it's by no means irreversible. I think the response to the initial video speaks to the general reviews, and peoples experience over the past few years that in my opinion has caused reputational damage to VRTP. I have held an annual/membership since 2006, and I visit much less than I used to due to the declining standards across various aspects of the business and increasingly poor guest experience.

To be clear I was talking about the previous and current renewal pricing. With the $50 included in new passes it’s guaranteed revenue for the park regardless of if it’s used, I would wager not everyone will use it all/remember to use it before it expires. Same principle as why retailers love gift cards/vouchers.

Agreed, but @DaptoFunlandGuy is absolutely correct for once/is making sense. They did actually raise the price to $119 for a period (and included some Bonus Vouchers) but ultimately have settled at $99. What's even crazier is currently if you don't renew at $99 eventually you will be offered a renewal as cheap as $69.

I did "Rainforest Lumina" by the same company in Singapore Zoo, definitely worth a wander through if you enjoy this sort of thing.

I’m sure there are a few day guests that have remained, but worth remembering those entering after the park is deemed clear of day guests are not given a wristband. Whilst it’s essentially the same as last year I was happy with tonight, everything ran fairly smoothly and they had 2 trains running on Levi.

I certainly wouldn't assume that $100m figure is accurate.

This is nothing! You should see the latest themed bin in the Land of Oz... I guess it is green... 🤷‍♂️

What Levi said in regards to it being a temporary walking path and works to commence after school holidays. I honestly don’t want them to reopen the station there though, I don’t feel it’s necessary. Would prefer if it remained Main St and Corroboree as it was before the temporary closure.

In all honesty I’m surprised they even got approval to say that, there was plans at one point to utilise the show stage for a show again but from what I hear “float storage” is the plans indefinitely at present. Talking likely at least years down the track it would be nice if the area and showstage is both utilised but I don’t see (nor frankly want) a half assed attempt. Look at the time it took them to make Oz after Arkham’s closure and the obvious issues with the land.
