Well firstly, I didn't call out anyone member so if you feel you fall into the category of "every year" then that already says something.
Well there's only been 3 of us post prior to your comments, so it was a fair assumption.

What about a moral one? Or is it easier for you to take the view of 'share away' because your work NDA covers all the stuff you want to share?

I got to the checkout and the payment processing timed out.

Then every year the same people come on here all buthurt they weren't the special ones to release the inside info, or upset that they aren't special 'knowing something you don't know'.
All right, I'll bite, just because I'm curious to see the thought process here.
So you're calling out myself, @xRazzBerryx, and @JaggedJanine as being the "same people" coming on here "all butthurt" etc. (potentially just myself and Janine, don't know enough about razzberry to know if they said anything in the past).
So how exactly does not sharing information due to personal choices, then sharing our opinions that the information shouldn't be shared make us "all butthurt"? Are we not permitted to share a view contrary to your own?

Yeah you could be right haha I am wondering where they would even fit the extra 2 mazes seeing as the studios are out of action again this year (I think).
It's been discussed to death that the studios are out of action this year due to filming commitments as it was last time. Hence the need for the two new sheds last year.
5 minutes ago, xRazzBerryx said:Are you even allowed to say this information? O.o
Every year without fail there's always one idiot who pops up on Parkz and claims they've been to an audition or their friend went and told them all the maze details etc.
The problem (I assume) for Parkz then is that if they delete the post, they can be seen as confirming the information. If they let it sit there, the park may not be happy about information being posted (assuming for a minute that it's accurate) however, given the majority of long standing members on here know this years mazes and aren't saying anything one way or the other, means that this becomes idle speculation of some random kid who claims to know what's going on this week at one of the GC parks.
It's quite possibly also a very easy test from the park to determine who can and can't be trusted. If someone posts information about something they saw behind the scenes, there's a good chance they can't be trusted not to reveal things if they got through the application process.
Now some may not agree with me on this. Admins, I'm looking at you on this
but, in my opinion, if you're back of house for any reason and you see something that isn't public information, at no point should it become public information unless specifically advised you are permitted to make it so.

I saw that. Is that realistic?
Realistic in the fact that the 15th of September is a date? Yes.
Realistic in the fact that he's a reliable source of information? No.

QuoteDreamworld accident: Report cracks down on theme park safety
OLDER amusement rides could be decommissioned across the state and teenage amateurs banned from working theme-park rides under sweeping changes to protect thrill-seekers.
An audit in the wake of the Dreamworld tragedy has found rickety, decades-old rides at school fetes and local shows aren’t being properly tested and could be risking lives.
But even state-of-the-art rides at major tourist attractions are not being adequately checked and are being manned by people with inadequate training.
Four people died on Dreamworld’s Thunder River Rapids ride in October last year, in Australia’s worst theme park disaster since seven people died in Luna Park’s Ghost Train fire in 1979.
A best-practice review of the state’s workplace health and safety laws has recommended a complete overhaul of the system, including a new licensing scheme, more stringent safety audits that could see rides pulled apart and checked piece by piece and a new Public Safety Ombudsman to oversee the sector.
Its release came as Industrial Relations Minister Grace Grace introduced into the Parliament a new criminal offence of industrial manslaughter.
The review found that of 111 serious incidents on Australian rides between 2001 and 2016, “a significant number may be attributed to inadequate training or operator error”.
It says the high turnover of operators, especially for mobile amusement rides, was a major problem and the report questions why special licences are required to drive a forklift, but not to propel hundreds of people through the air on high-risk rides.
“There is a clear need to increase the level of protection to the public by ensuring that these devices (amusement rides) are properly designed, maintained, inspected and operated,” it said.
The review compares fun parks to “major hazard facilities” that store, handle or process large amounts of dangerous chemicals, because both types of facilities carried the real risk of multiple fatalities, and says fun parks should be similarly regulated.
It said “poor mechanical integrity and lack of modern safety control measures” were a “significant concern” for older rides and that local shows and school fetes were believed to be using rides more than 30 years old.
“There is a need to mandate major inspections in the regulation to ensure that all rides, especially older ones, are maintained and undergo major inspections at prescribed intervals to ensure that they remain in a safe condition,” it said.
The audit juxtaposed the thorough examination cranes were put through with the much more lax screenings for rides.
It said a major inspection should be “an examination of all critical components of the amusement device, if necessary stripping down the amusement device and removing paint, grease and corrosion to allow a thorough examination of each critical component” and undertaken by an expert engineer.
The report proposes high-risk theme parks and travelling shows should require a special licence and be subject to six-monthly audits by specialist Workplace Health and Safety Queensland inspectors, while medium-risk operators would hold a different licence with yearly audits.
It says at least two extra mechanical engineers would need to be appointed as specialist inspectors to administer the licensing regime and testing and additional specialist plant inspectors with engineering credentials would be needed in each regional area.
But it says consultation with industry was still needed to shape all changes required.
The report also found the number of field inspectors had “not kept pace with increases in working population in Queensland” despite being comparable with NSW and Victoria.
The review pointed out that funding had “fallen in real terms and this has seriously hampered the ability of WHSQ to perform its role and keep pace with changes in the nature of work and the modernisation of work health and safety regulation”.

So after the discussions in this thread and some chats on and off forums, I took on everyone's feedback and decided that a new logo wouldn't hurt. It was made years ago and admittedly I have zero artistic talent and while that hasn't improved much at all, I did really like the logo that Ben designed and posted in here.
So, with that said I want to say a public thank you to @Slick, @Gazza and the others off-forum who provided feedback and suggestions on this and this is what I plan to use going forward, which seems to look much better/more professional than the old one.

@Richard - Not an issue as such, but when an admin splits a post into a new thread, that new thread, while being unread, doesn't show up in the 'unread content' section. Not sure if this is related to the upgrade or if it's just a general bug/"feature".

Warner Bros. Movie World Fright Nights returns every Friday and Saturday night this October. This year we’re turning up the heat with new mazes, more horrific scare precincts, live bands, horror film festival, the biggest offering of interactive scare performances ever and so much more.
It seems they've been smart about it this year so I don't know if that's just from last year's site or not.

That's an impressive rebuild.

HollyWood Horrors is great. Pretty much like the movie world mazes, except for me, i found HH a bit scarier ad more interesting. Spook is pretty much just a few animatronics and some loud noises. HH is definitely worth the $10.
But how safe are the lights?

Did anyone do Spook or Hollywood Horrors? What's your opinion of it compared to fright nights and Scooby Doo?
Hollywood looks ok. Don't bother with spook. Did it last year and it's severely lacking in content. I mean sure it's a traveling ride literally on the back of a truck but I'd aim it maybe at 10-15yrs.
If I wasn't so sick and sore I'd be going in tomorrow to do HH

a piece of light. a singular piece of light. And yes, they did keep operating.
And you were the only one who saw it huh? And not one person other than you of course, thought maybe this is something worth reporting somewhere. No one, even you, thought that this should be reported to a media outlet, or posted on Facebook etc.
And of course it happens at a time that not one single guest in the area had a phone or camera handy to get any evidence.
Until you can back it up with some sort of proof or some kind of evidence of anything even remotely similar happening, please take your bullshit elsewhere.

Also, does anyone else remember that time Movie World announced an unboxing of the new train as part of a live video?

You're right. It is very unclear on their site. In my opinion they should put it directly above the "buy now" button on the terror tour page.
