GC Theme Parks

@Brad2912 Noted in the report at the top of the thread is 1) Movie World has to adjust its wage to the right award wage and backpay to 2015. 2) They haven't been paying Sunday penalty rates. These are some quotes in which Movie World says they will be adjusting to insure no one will be underpaid but has to backdate to July 2015 so this has been going on for a while. They are currently in in talks about officially removing Sunday penalty rates but that hasn't been agreed on and so they are considered to not be paying them. “The only outstanding item is Sunday loading which is being discussed with the AWU and FWC in a pre-scheduled meeting on March 22,” said Tony Lines, head of people and culture. “There are some areas where we are adjusting the agreement to align with the award. Any pay rates that fall below the corresponding level in the award will be increased and back paid until first pay in July 2015, therefore no-one will be underpaid.”

I know people who attended this rally as Union member and I also know people who work within the park. VRTP's has admitted that they underpaid workers and haven't been paying Sunday penalty rates. They're the Gold Coast second biggest employer. I didn't expect that from them, I hope that everything is sorted out because I love the parks and wouldn't want to see a high quality brand ruined because of this.

I'm excited to see how this turns out, I personally think Dreamworld has the most variety of all the parks when it comes to food.

Now that Top Golf has been pushed back until 2018 I would hope that it is ready before the Commonwelth Games, it would be a shame for VRTP to miss out on the revenue and possibly a big and busy time to open.

I know that this might not be a popular view but I hope that the area is rethemed to something new and fresh, remove all of the TRRR and the Eureka mountain mine ride and maybe make the area a certain theme, Dinasours or something, have some large Dinasours statues that possibly move. Retheme the Buzzsaw and include a new ride that wouldn't cost to much, put a bit of grass in the area and make it feel like a chill out zone. I know my idea isn't the best and I wouldn't mind other people's suggestions for retheming idea.

@themagician I personally just thought that maybe it could be a tie in for the film kind of like Scooby Doo but I'll be happy with anything if the coaster is meant to be similar to the one Mack built in China recently.

One thing that will be interesting is if the mazes that are most likely to return this year (Dusk till Dawn and Conjuring 2) will be changed, to improve them. I personally though that the two returning mazes in 2016 were much more polished than their debuting year in 2015.

I hope an announcement on the theming and possibly the design of the ride comes in the near future, i would assume it could be aquaman but who knows.
