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...
In an interview earlier on Tv she said she didn't want it going ahead as it was too soon in her opinion. It's weird how she suddenly changed her tune once she was asked by someone else

Apparently the premier of Queensland has intervened and is trying to stop Dreamworld from reopening tomorrow
-
An interview with the grandmother of one of the children that survived is going to be on channel nine news tonight. Apparently she is going to be talking about "why she is scathing about the treatment her family have received from Dreamworld"
-
Apparently psychologists recommended Dreamworld reopen ASAP
2 minutes ago, Theme Park Girl said:Same, however the reason for my non-attendance tomorrow is because I have work from 8am-4pm. Being a new job, and the fact I already left an hour early yesterday afternoon to take flowers down to the park, I can't really afford to push for a day off... as much as I wish I could go.
It's hard because I feel somewhat obligated to be there to show my support and pay my respects to the victims, but unfortunately my hands are tied
Damn that sucks. At least they let you leave an hour early before

Seven news just said Dreamworld will officially reopen on Saturday

340 million dollars lost in the companies worth in the last 48 hours. Wow that's a lot

I wish I could go to dreamworld tomorrow to show my support but I live in NSW. I did however tell my partner that our plans hadn't changed and I would be taking him to dreamworld next year

FYI:
Apparently non-membership holders whom purchased tickets can have them refunded if they contact the park directly via phone or email.
On a side note, it's worth noting that there is first indication right there that despite what the media has been claiming, Dreamworld obviously believe they will be reopening at some stage.
The media have been deplorable throughout this entire time. It's like they are purposely trying to be as negative as possible and it's a competition to see who can be the most negative

I'm also annoyed with the media too with this incident, especially channel 7 with its coverage of this. They pretty much pushed the blame onto an 18 year old girl who's first day working at dreamworld was that day, they also mentioned all the other theme parks in Australia stating that they go through daily ride maintainence and checkups before they're open to the public. Completely leaving out the fact that dreamworld does the same thing.
Not to mention they were comparing ride quality between Luna Park Sydney and Dreamworld, which I find hilarious, due to the fact LPS had had a run with inspectors, due to unsafe rides, and even an incident that was worse than this one currently, when 7 people including children were burned alive in the ghost train fire
the media is leaving out important information and pretty much making Dreamworld look like an unsafe park. And have the guts to say it's going to affect the Queensland tourism. It will for a little while. Then people will eventually forget about this and be back to normal. It was a freak accident. Media just needs to back off.
I was disgusted when I read the last article I just posted. It said one of the fathers of the victims found out about his sons death via the news

Another article on the water pump (speculation)
Isn't that first picture a picture of Eureka Mountain and not the River Rapids as stated?

People on facebook are seriously starting to annoy me. Someone posted on a story saying "Big sue claim coming your way dreamworld". I posted saying "nothing has been proven that they have done anything wrong" and their response was "it will". Like seriously do all these keyboard warriors have access to the investigation or have seen any of the evidence? Of course not and it's seriously getting on my nerves

Here we go again...The Sydney Morning Herald:
The ride referred to is the Flowrider.
I wish someone on Parkz could find the 100+ page document from Workplace Health and Safety Queensland that is the source of all these incidents to the media. It would be an interesting read and allow us to confirm the severity of these reported incidents. Amongst other incidents already mentioned, according to The Australian, the document also does:
Back to The Sydney Morning Herald article - DW must be so over all the media inquiries they are getting about past incidents now particularly when they have to remind the media that counselling is still ongoing:
This quote from the same article is interesting (if true):
The Sun has done an article on past DW incidents too - probably the 1st international publication to do so. Whilst pointing out they are unrelated to DW, they also mention The Smiler incident as well as roller-coaster fatalities from around the world in past years.
I'll just leave this article here.
And I'm unfamiliar with Thunder River Rapids' operational rules but could this Daily Mail article be classified as sensationalised or an actual breach of operational rules? It doesn't look like much in itself & DW might have more specific rules but DW's Thunder River Rapids webpage does clearly say maximum 6 people per ride.
At least there is one unsensationalised non-theme park media news article....
Maximum of six people on the ride? Are they speculating more rode it?

I saw yesterday Dreamworlds operating hours said closed until Friday. I think what they are planning on doing is a beautiful gesture

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'.

Thank you both for answering

Just now, Harold said:
Poster meant "shut up" as in "cease communicating", not "close the park"
Thank you. I was confused what was being said. I was meaning that I want the media to shut up until they actually KNOW what was going on
-
Just now, Scarlet Witch said:
.. The entire park is shut until further notice?
What?
-
First they say it crashed into another raft which made it flip. Now they're saying water pumps. Which is it? Talk about confusing. I rather they shut up until it's confirmed one way or another
-
I posted an article with those pictures a couple of pages back. I can't even begin to imagine how terrified they all must have been when the raft started to tip
-
How low can some people get. According to the family of Kate Goodchild her husbands wallet and phone were stolen from the pram as he tried to save her
-
I saw this article on Snapchat and thought I would share it here:
Meaning of "incompatible with life":
-
Can someone please tell me what TVC stands for.
no one is ever getting me on this ride lmao
-
Apparently the investigators are exploring the possibility of an empty raft getting stuck on the conveyor belt and then the raft with the family in it rammed into the empty raft and flipped over. Apparently two children aged 10 and 13 were also on the ride when it flipped but they both survived
Speculation and media beat ups - Thunder River Rapids incident

Seven and nine need to stop their nonsense competing for the biggest story. Nine posts that they have the exclusive interview with this woman and then channel seven turns around and posts it as well. This is a tragedy not a competition on who can get more viewers or who can "get the scoop." Both of their channels need to grow up and realise a complete tragedy has happened instead of trying to "one up" the other channel. I don't think either 7 or 9 have enough respect and integrity to do that sadly
