Retardent

I saw this on TV tonight and found the link to the article which you can click on: https://9now.nine.com.au/a-current-affair/tight-40cm-squeeze-delivers-blow-for-gold-coast-couples-dream-home/4ccb607e-b263-45c6-97d3-2b050a68c552 Moderators I am not sure if this is for the theme park forum or the chit-chat forum.

Thank you for the information unofficial DreamWorld spokesperson.

If the manufacturer had to redesign the very funnels that caused this injury because people were getting injured, I’d say pretty easily.

What is a reasonable excuse behind why that rollercoaster train continues to sit there? I can understand one or two days while equipment and procedures are checked but this is taking the mickey. Do you wonder if the same person who is in charge of the recent pattern of poor maintenance is also responsible for this train recovery dragging on? For that person, there is a large amount of incompetence on display with their name on it and everyone views it as they drive past DC Rivals Hypercoaster.

If Steel Taipan is closed due to The Giant Drop refurbishment works then why is Motocoaster open considering that it is closer to The Giant Drop?

Considering how proactive Dreamworld are at ignoring Parkz, one has to consider how long it will take them to ignore this post and fix this website bug.

Gary Weiss was behind the current facade. As of writing he has a majority stake in Ardent Leisure.

This response to worker opinions from management that are contrary to management's own opinions are how you end up with an international incident. To all enthusiasts: just because a CEO gave you the time of day, let you see a ride before it opened or says they have grand plans does not make them a successful CEO. If that were true, Bruce Jenkins would be Dreamworld's best CEO. It is common to see here in Australia and in North America that theme park fans often confuse pleasantries and performance as the same thing and worship the ground management walk on.

Good to see the river clean again. @themagician have they removed the dilapidated bush ranger outpost that was on that middle island near the farmyard friends attraction?

Present day leadership did not see any value in the indigenous program and are only interested in the most profitable animals. This is why Corroboree is no more (the team were made redundant or forced in to other departments) and only key animals are left. This is a great idea. I find the best first impression you can make is to hide your new ride's launch with a closed ride's abandoned building that was once part of the area that caused an international incident.

They are creating commercial photography today:

Actually, Dreamworld is turn of the century, meanwhile, Movie World is themed as a set which is not dissimilar to Universal's backlot, that is why there is big fake movie lights on top of the facades. If you were to apply the most literal idea of that premise, movie sets often have food trucks to feed crews. The showbag trailers are disconnected from everything else County Fair and look to sit opposite claw. By your own applied logic, Boost Juice is more at home than those gross showbag trailers. But am I wrong? Dreamworld apologists will decry Movie World for putting a food and beverage van where there's been food and beverage fans while they are also super silent on the above abomination. Speaking of abominations, that watermark.

Tacky as f*ck showbag stall from some toothless Nerang redneck is NOT on brand for how they pitched the Spring Fair. https://www.dreamworld.com.au/what-s-on/spring-county-fair/ Tell me how is that on brand? I don't love the Boost Truck or where it's located in the park and neither have any place in a theme park but you have to do some serious mental gymnastics to pass off Dreamworld's over Movie World's.

Woooooowwwwww. that’s a garbage POV. Can they just DM @Slick?

A friend sent me this - this is a photographer that works for the park. What if it is a farmyard they are building?

The reasoning for closing is the ride is too close to Steel Taipan. So why include it in all of the animations? We all know that’s not the reason and yet they play us for fools and puppets anyway. We’re happy when the CEO sends us a heartfelt email about the state of the park, just as much as we’re happy to be given spin. Figures.

Can I have what you are smoking? The titling and transitions are amateur hour. Greg’s fine (even if they framed him poorly in the shot) although it’s not captivating. Did they make it for the five enthusiasts on Parkz who care about ride procurement and those people who run that bland golden years Facebook group? So misdirected.

It's beyond mental how both parks can't get their shit together on a few rides.

- And by maintenance do you mean the Dreamworks license ending? Saying maintenance is definitely being "upfront about the current maintenance situation." - Didn't the same 10-year line get pulled by John Osborne? - This is the same company that including just a week ago, will push back maintenance dates back on the day they said they will re-open. Very upfront about the current maintenance situation. Turns out everyone has short memories. If enthusiasts looked through Parkz articles over the last few years they'd see It's the same old same old. But Because everyone's beloved Greg Yong is at top dog it looks like it is all smiles and roses.

It is nearly the exact same wording they used when they fired Deborah Thomas.

There is something funny about forcing people to look at a chair while they stand around on a never ending walkway for one of Dreamworld's slowest moving queues.

Here is is a Russian theme park's map that despite looking worse, being in a completely different language and clearly cheaply made is still way more useful than Dreamworld's map: https://park-belinsky.ru I do not know how something this bad makes it through. On this digital map it took me 18 seconds to find the nearest bathroom to Dreamworld's main entrance. On the old map it took me 3 seconds. Methinks it is yet another piss poor call made by a CEO with zero theme park experience. If anyone at Dreamworld thinks guests are going to bother with this mess they've got rocks in their heads. What an absolute shame.

All the same criticisms from Movie World's 2017 map change can be applied to Dreamworld. This includes: It is rather amazing that the same people who were running the show at Movie World are now at Dreamworld and are making the same mistakes. The map has also been changed recently and Tower of Terror 2's yellow line is 80% removed. I do love it when a theme park ignores an entire community of enthusiasts but secretly uses them to fix their mistakes.

You should know; the CFO at the time of the Thunder River Rapids tragedy is the now CSO who writes the news announcements that say they are new managment. When Warner Bros. Movie World opened up with some rides closed some people on the forum called them the next theme park hitlers for it. now dreamworld is doing the same old thing. dreamworld is putting up more barriers and closing more lands than wonderland did. dreamworld is closing rides forever for dumb reasons without replacements, they are pushing ride open schedules back and taking many thrill attractions down at the same time next month. Where are those who spoke ill about Warner Bros. Movie World now? you are a fool to think they are not quietly just waiting for someone to buy it.

This is easily the most un-empathetic and heartless thing i've ever read on Parkz.
