Aw hype

At least they put a bit of effort in and painted it go away green

How do you justify shutting down the pool at a waterpark?

Damn...Didn't even realise they were adding another one! The Public transport is so good in Singapore that you can just about get anywhere. In saying that, if you have kids, it would be very convenient to just stay at mandai.

We went recently. USS was spectacularly busy, but we still felt we got it all done quite easily in a day. The Bird Park and River Wonders are both half day ventures. The zoo you can stretch out to a whole day if you really wanted to, and the night safari is self explanatory. Both Waterparks are pretty shit and a half day each at most. Honestly, there is so much to do in Singapore. Amazing place.

Would be silly (too risky) to announce anything before a DA is approved, manufacturer booked and construction tendered. Look at the Scooby do shaped egg On MW's face. Been waiting on Next Gen for waaaayyyy too long now.

Pretty rare these parks get a DA through to the keeper without someone on here coming across it...or any park in australia really.

You can't reasonably have a grievance against the parks reducing their hours over Winter. It's a common sense business move. It Must just be because of the lack of competition making WnW stay open over Winter - similar to Maccas being 24 Hours but Hj's not. They cant be making money over there. All that being said, I'd rather be, as a consumer, at the 'experience is good and I feel Valued for 90 Minutes less' Place than the 'It's open longer, circa 40% of the rides are down at a given time, we wait in line more and get treated considerably worse' one. Lesser of two evils, but I'd rather of less of the good than more of the shit.

Actively Shitting on guest experience and dramatically overspending on copy and paste rides. That's burning both ends of the stick Imo. So yes.

Common Polin Slide issue. Never seems to be enough water pressure. Polin slides age like milk and are built of straw (https://www.cockburnarc.com.au/Play/Waterslides) Hopefully parks will give up cheaping out by going with them.

I was thinking yesterday that this is the smartest thing they could do. Bounty's was like our wipeout. This will market very well over here.

It's almost as If they've just done the minimum requirement so as to not piss off whoever licensed them the IP. It's aesthetically pleasing and looks well done regarding the IP applications, then just screw you to guest experience. Someone mentioned the other day seeing village execs line cut opening morning. The arrogance to do that in front of paying guests, not to mention the stupidity of not having those things done behind closed doors (every park ever seems to let employees have rides before these things open) is unfortunately completely in character for the Current VRTP. Maybe the $100m figure is a total investment between Flash, Oz and SDSC, and they've tried to white lie their way into a headline? I'd hate to see how the colours in the area will hold up over the years in that harsh sun as the management decide gold-plate their office chairs instead of repainting. I really hope this tips the scales back in DW favour.

Beat me to it. Had the exact same thought today, and was going to ask if this is normal. Hopefully they're just running maintenance on it now to have both sides up and ready for the Holidays.

The odd 5 Minute dispatch due to guests piss farting around and not listening is Fine. There were periods were the train would sit empty for near on a minute, with no one getting off or on, while ops people were having a quick yarn about one thing or another. I don't blame those people specifically. Such low (comparitive to DW) work standards being deemed acceptable are a failure of management, not to mention the obvious lack of staff allocated to the rides.

WWF has been bang on. Absolute crock of shit. Spoke to various members over the parks in the last couple of days, inclusive WnW. They are very aware of the amount of school groups arriving over the next two weeks. They wouldn't set up big marquees and label them with individual school names on a whim and a prayer. It's gross what they're doing and getting away with as a business. The fact that the park is ultimately failing to deliver an advertised product and then blatantly lying to the high-paying customers they've ripped off is terrible. Second train is good when you don't have a crew stacking every second train for 2+ minutes.
