    Spon on. However does not change anything. A few questions:

    1. Has Dreamworld done enough to win the trust back from the general public? (if not why) 

    2. Do you think Dreamworld if prepared enough for the inquest findings? 

    3. What impact will this have on Dreamworld and the theme park industry has a whole? 

  2. And they thought Sea World was bad... 

    The pig was tied up and thrown off a 68-metre-high platform as a laughing crowd watched.

    SCREENSHOT FROM THE PAPER VIDEO. 

    Meixin Red Wine Town theme park in Chongqing, China, ushered in the Chinese New Year in a very unusual, very problematic way by tying up and throwing a pig off a 68-metre-high bungee-jumping platform.

    In a now-viral video, spectators can be heard laughing as the pig, dressed in a blue cape, squealed in fear while it was pushed off the platform. The stunt was meant to celebrate the end of the Year of the Pig and usher in the Year of the Rat, which starts on Chinese New Year (Saturday, January 25). It has now sharply divided the Chinese community online. Many netizens lashed out against the theme park for animal abuse, calling the act “sick” and “perverted

    Fully 6 wasn't being built on sand, immediately surrounded by water lagoons, with a contractor pulling out early on.

    Was it?

    No but AGAIN they missed their scheduled opening date, leaving the general public guessing when it will open. ONCE MORE, both had squeduled opening dates but only one opened on time. I really don't care why or how it is delayed, SW announced December and they missed it.

    I don't really think they're comparative.... 

    Yes and no, both had squeduled opening dates but only one opened on time. Lols just give Dreamworld the W and enjoy the new watersides.

    I don't know if it would fit, but I always thought a Mad House would be great in the old cinema, use the old LW queue for it and it would be the perfect theme for that ride being in Arkham Asylum. 

    Now that's an @Original idea and I think it can be done.

    Honestly - wouldn't you just push off and slide down to the bottom? bugger climbing down that ladder in bare feet - seems like it'd be more of a maintenance accessway than an escape hatch.

    Definitely much easier to slide down in theory. However being someone who has been stuck at the top, the water turns off. It took me a few minutes to slide forward (more like climb and bum shuffle) and it was pretty uncomfortable. As I mentioned previously, it's rare but it does happen.

    Just out of curiosity, what anti-valleying procedures are present on aqua loops? What happens if you do valley?

    There's an emergency exit door at the bottom of each loop 

    There are two exits doors/hatch. One on the top of the loop and at the bottom. If on the rare chance you do get stuck at the top you have to climb down a ladder.
