Park Addict 93

Looks like they took the feedback on board that the app does not show ride maintenance clearly enough. Shows on each of the 3 main parks.

Not a great time for Scooby to unexpectedly need some work Let’s hope they can get it back online ASAP, it was originally listed as 21-22 Jul I was in the park on Monday and it went down around 2ish.

Quoted for truth, I saw countless people enjoying themselves, the park mood was was far from dreary. Main St performances now travel down Main St, you would struggle to find a time on main st prior to 3pm when you couldn’t find a character. I would argue with this in place the park is atmosphere is excellent. I used it on opening day, it works as intended in my experience. I got on rivals after booking immediately at opening around 10:30, by 11:30 the virtual wait was 5 hours with a return time close to park close. If anyone is complaining it wasn’t working it’s most likely due to all slots simply being full.

Dreamworld ceased selling tickets immediately after closing. SkyPoint is back to selling tickets once again so I assume once we have a firm reopening date DW ticketing will also resume. VRTP have been good with their offer, extending it to existing pass holders even. It's smart as almost all the offers require an additional spend. Bring a friend to Carnival for free being the exception. Must redeem by July 15 with each offer having different expiry's/conditions.

Dreamworld have updated their COVID page with what attractions will be not be available on reopening, no real surprises.

All memberships by this point are month to month, so you can always cancel if you are not happy. Aussie World is reopening July 2nd, reduced hours and capacity, online tickets required. https://www.aussieworld.com.au/covid-update

I wasn’t going to share these here originally but they are better than the last few 😂

I fear the plan is to just leave it dormant as I doubt considering the current financial status of the company allows for non essential works. Ideally as @themagician said I would love to see the theatre upgraded, entry returned to the original and a drawcard 4D film.

I was there on Friday and can confirm I saw they were wiping down the Storm Coaster, Kids Coaster and Rails in the stadiums after each cycle/show. The foot pedal operated hand sanitiser stations were all around the park, but not always in the most obvious places.

The funny thing is the Virtual Que functionality isn’t locked out, as long as you have entered the parks once and the pass is active you can reserve rides prior to your arrival at the park for the day.

From launch you have been able to add your pass/ticket (with order id/email) and view it virtually including the expiry. You used to be able to scan a ticket (or pass) to use the Virtual Que functionality separately. Now it has changed to scan any ticket/pass and it will automatically add it as a ticket/pass with barcode and expiry and activate the Virtual Que.

Virtual Que was active at SW too in late February, but not during the holidays/initially. The app itself has been around since December.

I don't think they have actually 100% stated Virtual Que's are the only way to que? I still think we will have a traditional que with social distancing markers.

SW have updated their website show schedule (but not the app), all shows returning. 4 Dolphin and Seal Shows, 3 Thunder Lake, Turtles and Paw Patrol presumably due to decreased stadium capacity.
