Looks like I need to do a car park trip and get my own pics and analysis!

There's a difference between theme park enthusiasts and blind denialists. I've presented nothing but facts and I have been right as per the real news article today. If anyone's trolling it's those trolling me.

A lovely piece of propaganda.

Usually a decrease in revenue will also result in a decrease in expenses (such as reduced employee costs), so a $3m profit won't be a $3m loss if revenue reduces by $6m.
Anyway, unless detailed financials are known, this is all purely speculation and pretty meaningless,
Actually DWs expenses are only likely to increase. Know anything about insurance?

Just now, themagician said:
They lost 7 million, not 10 million
Incorrect
5 minutes ago, mission said:What financial facts do you base this on?
I said a projection which I've independently researched. Park is down almost two thirds in attendance. Monthly revenue last financial year was $9 million and $3 million in net profit. Divide that by 3 and you currently have $3 million in revenue and a $3 million loss.
-
Anyway...back on topic. I've done a projection that they are currently losing 3 million a month. Add that to the 10 million they lost in the 6 weeks they were closed and you have a theme park in serious trouble. Could be bust and closed within 18 months.

Hehe but POP was wrong right? Lol
-
Rides are walk ons when they should have massive queues as this is the busiest time of the year for them. I wonder how much they're losing daily...
-
Crowd reports for yesterday please and today obviously a bit later.

Was amazed when I drove past at 1pm and saw a definitely less than 20% full carpark, and when you take into account half those parks are probably staff cars...
even the WWW towers had less than a single flight queues.
Hoping it was due to Boxing Day sales and we see a big uplift tomorrow
omgosh that's terrible poor DW. Hope it doesn't go broke but if it doesn't pick it up it's heading to brokesville fast.

Well, Mack has stated it will be very similar... but still different. So there is no chance we will be getting a clone. And that's a good thing.
Exciting times ahead
...at least for MW ?

Flash looks so cool is there any chance we could get a clone with this ride?
-
Soooo exciting!!!

What happened to the Octopus? Assuming it was removed, but does anyone know why and where to?
Probably sold for scrap metal or something, i'd say it was de-commissioned seeing as though one of the pods came off with riders in it and the park was fined $25, 000.

Fuck!!! Oh well, still going to my favourite animal cruelty-free park <3 <3 <3

I think it's like a tube.
For my own opinion, i'm thinking some of the news outlets got a little bit of an arse kicking over the DW thing with all of the wild rumors they started. Obviously not publicly, but privately I reckon they got a little nudge from some people in industry, the police, or perhaps even their own management when the true information was revealed.
This is a lie. What "true information"?????

Hope its female themed

I'm gonna throw if out there - anyone reckon it's time MW updated its entry sign as you drive in?
i know it's been there forever, but I reckon especially with the new coaster going in along the entrance driveway they could go out and get a nice shiny new one, maybe with some LT/DC characters on it.
Use the same styled pillars that are going in, a 3D element as opposed to just a plain printed thing you could order these days off Vistaprint.
Couple of design ideas i Wouldn't mind seeing...
No, MW are fine. They have a good stable brand unlike a certain other park.

Dreamworld reopening - the summer season
in Theme Park Discussion

You know what? I've had it with the delusional denialists who think they speak for the general public when it comes to attitude towards Dreamworld. You are theme park enthusiasts, a niche community and a very small one. Most people go to a theme park once a year at the most. You can bet that that once a year trip will be spent elsewhere in the near future judging by the comments on the Daily Mail article today. Notice the upvotes/downvotes ratio - quite stark to the ones dished out here.

Once again, i'm not trolling, merely publishing the inconvenient truth on a board of people who don't wish to hear such stuff due to the bubbles they live in.
