She died alongside Canberra woman Kate Goodchild, 32, Ms Goodchild’s brother Luke Dorsett, 35, and his partner Roozi Araghi, 38. Ahead of her funeral today on the NSW central coast, Ms Low’s family said they were struggling to come to terms with their loss. A joint funeral for Ms Goodchild and Mr Dorsett will be held on Monday in Canberra. It is understood Mr Araghi’s funeral will be held at the weekend.

Best scare had to be in the Dusk Til Dawn maze... I was leading the first time we went through and got to the area just before the grinder room... Wasnt sure if we had to turn and walk through it as it looked like there was a doorway in front of me... Female scarer jumped out right at that moment of confusion... Quickly turned and walked through the grinder... Favourite maze had to be Conjuring 2... The sets were well done and especially the kitchen bumping and banging around was very well put together... Already have a group of 12 of us ready to go next year and do the UTT again!!!

Little Mr 4yo asked last night if we can go to Dreamworld soon... He is now tall enough for a whole new bunch of rides... We told him he has to wait a little while but when we can we will head there...

Visible just above the Country Fair writing (above WipeOut) as the boat... And as the walkthrough attraction...

It was a slow moving boat attraction that had some animatronic animals as well as a couple of live animals... The boats were then removed and the "river" they went on was filled with concrete and it was a walkthrough attraction before being removed entirely...

This was posted 11 hours earlier... On the same freaking page as your post even...

A bit off topic but I guess on the topic of media... I watched the Amanda Knox documentary on Netflix last night and one of the main people they were speaking to was one of the reporters... A true insight to exactly how their minds work... He said that they didn't really cover anything to do with Rudy Guede (the sole person said to be responsible) as there was more interest and sensational stories to come from the information about Amanda Knox (who was ultimately exonerated)... I found the documentary interesting to see how the media works and has such a huge impact on the public that they don't care about the truth... Just what will move newspapers, get people to watch their coverage, etc...

She stated in press conference just now that it is a matter between the Police Commissioner and Dreamworld management... She would not speculate but kept directing back to that...

And I congratulate them on this decision... Not just DW, or the GC Theme Park industry, or Parkz enthusiasts or the local public... But parkz around the world are paying attention to the news this week and that is something that definitely needs to be remembered... I was looking last weekend to go to UTT this Friday night for my third and final attendance this year... To me... Now it would just not be / feel right... Guess this is another case of damned if you do / damned if you don't... People are going to be annoyed it has been cancelled as they had prepared to attend, made arrangements, etc... If it went ahead given the main theme is Day of the Dead I'm sure they would cop backlash as well... I am sure they have not made this decision lightly but personally I believe it was the right call to make given the circumstances...

A TVC is an audio-visual advertisement aired on free or subscription TV stations. Usually they're a minute or less but they can also be program-length 'infomercials'.

For anyone who has not yet seen it there was a media release update this morning by QLD Police. They state that they have not released names and will not do so at this stage.

Depends on which news outlet you listen to... According to courier mail this ride was the one closed in April after someone almost drowned...

Given we know that news channels like to come here and there are currently 50+ members and 1000+ guests viewing the parkz forums I don't think any of our speculation (or supposed information) is necessary at this point... I am sure we all have our own thoughts, ideas or theories as to what has happened, how and so on but as mentioned above this is most definitely not the time to be posting these when family, friends and staff could be either reading this or the media will take it as fact and report refering to it and that opens another can of worms... Even on news.com.au Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate has said "I urge everyone to show the respect needed as the relevant authorities undertake investigations in to what has occurred."

Velcro straps basically

Found from a google search: From the video: I'm going to go with yes... Yes it is...

I'm talking just normal walking down main street they were reaching out and touching us, putting their hands on cameras as we were taking photos or video... Not while we were posing for photos with them or even of them...

While some of the actors posed if you got photos with them (looking at the clowns here)... We found the mummies were very touchy feely on most of the interactions people were having with them (yes even when not taking photos)... My wife even said she thought they weren't supposed to be touching people...

My brother has every amiibo released, has every PS version and Xbox version released, got the new PS4 VR setup the day it released ($550 retail)... Has never spent a cent on any of it... How do you know Ninja has spent a lot of money on this stuff... And if it is what he has an interest in how is it shit? My father has every model, figurine, episode, from every incarnation of Star Trek... Hell he converted the two car garage and still has trouble fitting it all in there... It is the envy of other collectors at any displays he attends... I have a room full of muppet toys and books which I do my builds in... People enjoy collecting different things... If they can afford to do so why is it an issue?

Blue and green slide? I think I need my eyes tested again... Looks purple and green to me...

Got C2, FDTD and F13 done twice, Wyrmwood 3 times, also spent 20 mins listening to the live music at Gotham Hall... Spent 30 mins sitting around chatting and eating dinner, did the extra UTT experience, the Terror Rooms multiple times and also got to wander around the park a bit watching the scare actors in their precincts, as well as multiple smoke breaks during the evening... Pretty sure I read here that on opening night some of the group got all the mazes done 3 times and C2 5 times... As well as a few rides... Just trying to understand how when you got to do all the mazes, the UTT stuff and a couple of rides you are saying you still ran out of time...

On the first night the group of us there were specifically told the park was looking forward to the reviews and information about improvements they could make... Without the "critical" comments how can the park gauge what is well done and what needs tweaking?

Well there you go... Go me!!! Managed to get all 4 mazes multiple times tonight... Enjoyed FTDT... Not for the story and definitely not for the space... But really wish I could have just spent more time at the bar in the first room... Was great that a lot of the things we brought up here after the first night have been rectified... Stage area outside the bank was closed off as the viewing area for the opening for the UTT pass holders... Information was given about the terror rooms in the 3 mazes when receiving the passes at the beginning of the event... A couple of cast members were getting their makeup applied in the vip lounge area... Also to note... They removed one of the interactive elements from the C2 terror room and replaced it with a scare actor and are getting a much better result... C2 was much better and the second room had lots of things going on that were not happening on opening night and a couple of new scares as well...

Again... There are two different groups... One that does the opening and another that starts the night in the maze... This means there are two people for each character you see in the maze... This means there are two people each night to perform each character during the evening... This means one person being sick would not mean no one is playing that role... It would mean one of the two people were unable to play the role... Again... We will know in a little over 13 hours what is really going on... Im doing the UTT tonight so if that character is not there again tonight I will ask when I hit the terror room... If they are able to tell me then I will let you know...
