But they'd probably never get them back. It would be much easier and cheaper to just have water spraying onto the ground.

It sounds like they are doing the best they can in the mean time to fix the hot surface and shade issues. People will always complain about things, even if they are just stupid things. Some people just like to pick at things for the fun of it. If people are complaining about walking up the hill and getting annoyed because the queue is long. Maybe just have a sign with the wait time on it. Have one at the bottom of the hill and one at the top. And if they want to spend a little more, but makes things easier, install electronic wait times signs.

Happy days. Will definitly be riding it once again on my next visit.

^Is the lift hill smoother now, or is there still that rocking back and forth? And when you come back into the station, do you still stop 10m back from the station, and then every metre stop and move again?

Menu for the Grid Burgers. Food sounds nice and seems reasonably priced: And you now queue in the inside out the building: Photos from TPSN

Here are some stills from that video

^No, they've been there since the campaign began.

The new enterance makes it look a lot more inviting, unlike cyclones enterance, which was just hidden away. Hopefully they've done something good with the inside of the queue area. So far impressed.

Soft opening. Was a story on 9 news just before about it.

TPSN posted this photo. Some people have said it might just be a park map or a character wall and I'm thinking that is likely. Thoughts?

Reports are saying that it did make the mnews

I went tonight. Was pretty much the same as last year, but they were those couple of new experiences. Once again, the atmosphere in the place is great and the people who play the elves do a fantastic job at bringing smiles to kids faces. I do think this year, it seemed like there was less snow, and more smoke. When really it should be the other way around. GL was open tonight and got to ride it a couple of times. All the queues for the rides were reasonable. Tonight I parked at the very right corner (if you are looking at the park), which in previous events has been the best spot. But tonight not so much. The photo I posted earlier was used as a second exit tonight, and directs traffic to the right. While the other exit directs traffic to the left. If you park on the right side, you'll be using that main exit, but as cars are trying to access the main exit road through car park spaces, it results in slow moving traffic. It took an hour to get out of the car park tonight, which has been the longest it's ever taken me to get off after an evening event.

^Yes you are reading that correctly.

Looks like our prayers might have been answered. Hopefully it will be much quicker to get out of the MW carpark after the evening events finish.

Just been on the GL. Was smoother than I remember and felt even quicker now. The on ride audio was working. And loose items could be placed in the storage containers at the station. Glad to have it back open again.

Despite what I said yesterday, I'm now thinking GL will be open for WC as it is included on the park map. (Photo: TPSN)

I just think that they may want to ensure people that people don't have loose items on them. Just after the incident I'd imagine they would take every procortion to try and stop an incident from happening again, and as loose items could result in something happening (hence the reason why they make people take items out their pockets). If they have someone check at the start of the queue then people would need to use lockers, but if there isn't, people may not listen and ignore the signage and ride attendants. I've seen many people ignore the attendant in the SE queue people would be there on their phones. It's just that small handful of people.

^I doubt that they will have it running during WC this year. I'd say at this stage they'd just want to have it going in the day, just in case there are any issues). Hopefully they will have it running at next years night events. Do people think that MW will become strict with loose items on the GL again? I mean with having to use lockers again, so the staff member at the start of the queue line can make sure no one has loose items.

Please let it be finally open again

Well, at least we know it will open in the next 12 days.

This isn't really anyway of predicting when they will update it. I used to think it was every couple of months, but then some times it's been 6 months, and then other times, just a month. And some years and locations get more updates than others

I went to MW mid week and walked past it, and it looks good. Despite it being an extension, it isn't enclosed and joined up with the existing Bar. Instead the building is just the kitchen, which can be seen through a window which covers the length of one side of the building, and the registers. There is still seating under shade sales. A connection between the new outside and inside Bar is done through a roof.

From MWs Instagram: Dirty Harrys opens tomorrow.

I thought the council owned the carpark, and MW leased it from them.
