Isn't this what a maintenance page is for? @Rivalsyou know it's down before they know it's down it seems, so why do you have to see it on Facebook too?
Part of the issue lies in the fact that currently, the maintenance page says these attractions are closed. However you've got the themeparks.com.au website stating that Leviathan is open, whilst Trident says both it's open, AND it's closed due to high wind.
Visit Sea World's attractions page and you will find that each of the rides in question have a banner stating they're NOW OPEN, even though once you dive into the maintenance page, you see it's in fact closed.
If a guest makes it that far, it's safe for them to assume the attractions are open, and can't be blamed for diving further in.
VRTP's biggest issue is they can't manage to maintain the same messaging across multiple mediums.
You've also now got the offical socials account stating there is issues across the entire area, causing it to be closed this week, whilst still going hard across their digital channels stating it's all open.

Quite correct, Vortex was having some issues for a large part of the day. Seperate to that issue though, there was a couple points in the day where the wind was gusting above 60km/h, which shut the other stuff down. A good chunk of Leviathan's down time was due to the wind.
Exactly! From what I have been told/experienced, majority of it was wind like you said, plus around 30 minute delay later in the arvo after they had to evacuate guests from the brake run.

from what i can gather, all 3 rides + jet rescue have been down all day.
anyone there today to confirm or deny this?
This is what happened on Friday too. For multiple hours no major attraction was running, Storm and Jet Rescue included.

Yes, I am, but they said the same thing about vortex.
Secondly, VRTP have a habit of exaggerating.
Don’t get me wrong me, it’s looking great, but it ain’t “world class”.
There is also a large station building, completely enclosed and out of view.... I think you'll be quite surprised/impressed, and feel quite silly for writing it off so early.

The attraction stopped between block sections due to loose clothing getting caught up within the wheels. QFS were needed as the attraction wasn't within it's normal evacuation space.

Sky Voyager can be updated and converted in minutes. So don't let it's short maintenance period fool you!

Circling back slightly, but I believe there is still some contractual requirements that VRTP need to meet, to continue to use the Top Golf brand.
Although I'm unsure of the timelines, I know that they were meant to provide a certain amount of investment and expansion. That is one of the reasons why we have seen a few of the little hole in the wall experiences launched.
When first opened, Melbourne was slated as the next "major" location, to a point where they had already started taking EOI's for Gold Coast team members to fly to Victoria to train and on-board management.
I'd say VRTP will still be contractually obliged to fulfil these requirements in the near future.

Not really understanding the criticism regarding branding?
Businesses are profitable when they're recognisable... a multi million dollar business is obviously going to drop some coin on logos around their properties.
Besides that, I think the hotel looks fantastic, and truly hope we get something similar for Hotel V.

Ringers haven't supplied uniforms for quite sometime now. There were a few issues with the whole partnership...

I think you're on the money to some degree.
It smells like an after thought to me, personally. Just ticking the box really.

That's a very fair point. In saying that, a major event would be something they would've been planning for more than a few months. Hooray's concept had been floating around for a few years before it was introduced as the 30th celebration.
I think you're on the money though. There would've been an almost crowded event lineup with Spooky Nights, Fright Nights and then a 50th celebration.
There has also always been some contention within the company for as long as I can remember, on when Sea World should actually celebrate it's anniversary.
-
Extremely disappointing, and such a missed opportunity for them to not be running any form of in park celebration.
With the success of Movie World's 30th event, I'm floored by the fact that we won't be getting anything. Especially for an arguably more significant milestone.
On a positive note, I'm loving the 50th logo design.

Hahaha I'm more referring to Friday night.
Tonight they were more enthusiastic at getting up and leaving once the band was off the stage. After going through the list of performers again, I honestly have only heard of like 2 of them. I do love that you had a photo on standby, showing off the energetic crowd.
-
I'm not a fan of any of the acts this year either. In saying that... I have experienced both concerts so far, the performers have defiantly gotten the crowd into it whether or not they were actually a fan. They have been running an autograph signing session each night so far at 7pm, there defiantly hasn't been a crowd anywhere near as big as last years ones.

So glad I went Friday too. Tonight was kind of 'eh' compared to it. I think because it was more crowded. In saying that, I had an odd feeling that night 1 was actually better organised that night 2.
I agree with that too Jason, after experiencing both Friday and Saturday nights, I fell like tonight wasn't as good as the first night. I honestly can't put a finger on exactly why that was the case. But I defiantly walked away from tonight not as satisfied as I was the previous night.

On MWs snap chat they have behind the scenes footage of a maze, where you see cameras watching people going through the mazes and telling the scare actors when to jump out. That's something that I've never thought about, but now I've seen that's how it works, it seemed kind of obvious that's how they would do it.
Those screens are part of the two secret rooms within the two hero mazes. This is accessible only buy Terror Tour guest. The Scare actors have no directions from anyone besides the cast briefing at the start of the night.
The screens show four areas that the guests can trigger certain effects to scare the maze goers.
-
Did anyone go to the media launch last night? Can you please give us a review without spoilers lol
The two mazes are extremely good. Very dark and full of some real creepy moments. Personally Friday the 13th is scarier with tonnes of real creepy moments involving Jason. Wyrmwood will have over 40 scare actors in it on the nights, we got to experience it with only 20 last night and it was still awesome.

Heres a quick highlights video from the opening day of the new world. Video also includes the ribbon cutting ceremony.
-
The smoke dose differ throughout the day. Extraction fans are turned on to keep the smoke from setting off the alarms. If you find it low when your on have a look outside when your finished and you'll see it being funnelled out.
-
Did anyone visit Dreamworld today and see the new ABC kids world? Be interested in seeing how they've set it up.
Yep. I was there for the ribbon cutting this morning. Ill have photos and videos up very soon.
-
The building in the blue box and above it have all been demolished leaving quite a large space. Ill try get a photo next time I'm there.

You should be mindful of this as if you intend on coming back to one of the parks in the afternoon after being there in the morning - you will need a pass-out stamp when you exit. Your pass will not let you back into the same park you've already been in.
You are able to re-enter later in the day by scanning your pass again. Village has no limit as to how many times you enter each park, each day. However you will encounter this problem over at Dreamworld.
-
For those interested I have uploaded some videos of both the indoor and outdoor areas. Ill have some pictures up later today.

Do you mean the mini show they did in Main Street? I simply think that they have decided to add a new bit of "impromptu" entertainment. I have herd whispers of a new show in the works but nothing set in concrete yet.
