I remember a few years back a friend of mine went for an interview at DW and was told that a Disneyland was in the plans, and could have an affect on the park, which may result in the people being hired to loose their jobs.

According the TPSN general admission tickets will be available from tomorrow and tickets will start from $32

^I doubt it. They've only recently fixed up HSD2, and the 4D show is coming this usually just change without much notice.

^I would say from that post they meant that they are some of the dates, but more are to be announced. I read something on FB that for the people who went to the Rv commercial recording last week got a free ticket to FN on one of those nights. Id say that's where they got that information from. And yes he fountain is operating

^I would say they only installed it for the recording of the to commercial. I would say that they will put it back in place when I gets closer to FN starting.

Just quickly went to MW and the car over the fountain has now been removed.

^All SW have said is that they are hoping for it to open in September.

Sorry, probably the wrong choice of word. There was of the ride operator (I would say the supervisor) who was telling the other ride operators about the ride and showing them safety procedures.

Currently at SW, staff are getting debriefed about the kids coaster and is being tested.

^I can't tell if you are serious or not

DW posted this photo on FB saying there are a number of new project underway at the park. They are supposed to be open by September school holidays. Someone commented on the post asking about Eureka Mine Ride. And DW replied saying they have a few surprises up their sleeve.

On MWs snapchat, they've added a video showing the car over the fountain, and a giant flame of fire comes out of it.

Gold Coast Theme Parks posted this on FB: The first dates for this years Fright Nights at Movie World have been announced. These are the 2nd, 9th and 16th October. More dates will be announced very soon.

It says in the snapchat BTS MAZE, isn't that a clue to the name of it? Edit: probably just means Behind the scenes

Henry is now leaving SW The time has come to wish Henry a Bon Voyage! Having reached an age where his mother, Liya has naturally weaned him off, Henry will be moving to the Cochrane Polar Bear Habitat in Canada on the 3rd of October, to play an integral role in the International Polar Bear breeding program. This facility shares the same dedication and standards as Sea World to the conservation, care and well-being of Polar bears and is the perfect place for Henry to continue his development.

Another ride is now in place and the roof has been installed over the coaster station (photos: TPSN)

I've got a couple of friends who have worked at DW operating the rides. They said that they did enjoy it, and most of the staff were good to work with, and when they got to see kids be really happy before/after the ride it made their job pleasing. They said that the morning was always better on a ride because you weren't bored, but a fews hours in it could start to drag, depending on how busy it was. But because there are these pressure sensors on the ride control panel, if they took there hand off, or their was less pressure then the ride would stop (I know this was the case for some of the smaller flat rides, don't know about the thrill rides). They said that they often would get the guests who would complain about things because their child was too small, etc. And the people who wouldn't listen and could affect their safety, etc. But overall they said they had good experiences, it wasn't the most exciting job all the time, but they always tried to make it as fun as possible.

The Log Ride did used to have a Triceratops above you at the end of a tunnel (it's at 2:48 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pLWs1Ekgd4). I haven't been on the ride in a couple of years, so it seems from what people have said, it has been removed. According to DW's park map, the Rocky Hollow area and Gold Rush Country are just one area now and is just named Gold Rush Country.

Here are those pics of the final pieces being put in place. What an awesome view from the top of the slide.

^Ah yeah, I remember them now. I don't see them as a major issue and they are needed there because the closest toilets are back near the entrance.

^I don't even remember there were portable toilets at the events. Where have they been positioned in the past?

Meaning: I was at the park today and was speaking to a staff member who said that the Cyclone's car will be reversed and is expected to be like this from Boxing Day.

It is always nice to include a source, rather than saying stuff with no further explanation.
