Or it could just be a container full of new crockery for the resort...

if you'd said it scratched the hell out of your back I would have agreed, but to say you received a concussion would be implying you had some form of head knock or trauma whilst riding, which is pretty serious

How exactly did that happen?

Hold on... Someone asked about the prices and type of food, I responded. I didn't jump on here and make a 'complain thread'. There was ZERO embellishment and I don't need anyone to pat me on the back, or support to feel better (WTF??) it was my experience. That is all. I didn't say "no one go there it's terrible". I said it how it was and then pointed out it was great the prior visit. I'll likely still go back next time too. I'm not angry at the staff, they weren't busy and were having a laugh & that's fine. In any service industry though, if a customer is waiting longer than expected and staff don't appear busy, it casts negative thoughts in the customer, rightly or wrongly. I deal with it with my own staff regularly. Someone of you just seem to jump down people's throats if they dare speak a negative word about a park or experience. I didn't sensationalise it, I just told my experience. Next time I won't bother.

Maybe stop assuming Alex... Let's see, I was solo with my 2 year old son, so was feeding him, not just sitting around, though even if I was just sitting around, why should I have to chase up my order?? It was about 2pm. I have no issue with staff members joking around, in fact as a manager of a service based industry I encourage it, but not at the expense of customer service. I also stated a had a great experience the previous time, so unless you are one of the 'Dough Bros' yourself, I see absolutely no reason why you bothered with that in depth defense of the staff in a situation you were not present for.

Was at DW today and 'are' at Dough Bros. $14.95 gets you 1 slice of pizza (size equivalent of 2 slices of pizza hut/dominos pizza), chips and a small post mix. 3 pizzas to choose from (Hawaiian, pepperoni and supreme) $24.95 gets you a 'gourmet' pizza (roughly Pizza Hut equivalent size) 2 chips 2 small drinks. Kids meals $9.95 for a ham n cheese kids pizza (a square pizza about 10cm x 10cm), chips, small drink and a toy. This was my second visit to Dough Bros. Last time was realty enjoyable (hence the return), but this time it was ridiculously poor service and quality. One bite into my $15 pizza slice and I realised the entire base was soggy like it had been sitting in water. Took it back and nicely pointed out the issue, the guy at the counter said 'no dramas', turns out the entire pizza people were getting their slices from was soggy. So he said the chef would run a new one through, would only take 5mins. 15mins later I was sick of waiting so walked to counter where the 3 staff members (sans the guy that served me) were laughing and chatting as I was one of only 2 people in the outlet, and I notice a new pizza is sitting there on display. They inform me the guy who served me finished for the day, and didn't tell them. But they could get it now if I wanted. I got a refund and left. Don't mind service standards dropping when it's flat out, but when you have 3-4 staff members plus the chef to look after 2-3 customers, you shouldn't be screwing up.

It's like comparing if a piece of chocolate cake tastes as good as a lobster. 2 completely different things. Do you have a fear of water or enclosed spaces vs do you have a fear of heights and inversions? Completely personal opinion

Who am I arguing with?? I asked a question.

Didn't think we were supposed to re-direct to other websites?

What rides have you gotten stuck on, or have seen broken down?

I'd say Wipeout, Tailspin & Junior Driving School are sweet. Haha The rest - agree. Scooby is a LONG way from needing replacement, just some TLC along with WWF -

I'm sure there are gorges and or slopes in a tigers natural habitats, but there isn't glass windows. I'm also talking from a viewing perspective, having an uninhibited view, better for photos etc -

MW needs a revamped kids area, Driving School is a great start, but the rest of their offerings are well below DW's rides -
There is no angst, it's feedback. If you are going to run a website about a topic you are passionate about, and promote it to enthusiasts of said topic, you can expect feedback whether good or bad. My feedback related to the content - whilst I didn't visit ever page on the site, none of what I read was original content; and on spelling & grammar on the one page that was author contributed. If Luke wants to get offended that's his choice, or he could use the vast array of knowledge & experience on the topic that can be found on these forums (I'm not including myself in the knowledgable group compared to most here) to make his website better. It's great the kid has passion

It's not about being as good as anyone. But when you make a post exclaiming you can spell, and proceed to make spelling mistakes in your following posts, it's gonna be noticeable. Why would I bother making a post about a fictional visit to a website!?? So is the website yours? Or do you just contribute to it?
-
This one ?? I told you details about the content on the page, how how does that indicate I was TOO (spelling?) lazy to even visit the site? It's also ALLOWED not aloud.

I think that's a terrible idea. I don't want glass between me and the animals/keepers. What is natural about a 10ft glass panel in a so called 'natural habitat' enclosure. I also don't think they'll upgrade or change the cafe that I think I've seen open once in my last 10+ visits or the shop, which is well, a shop. I would like to see The Lair utilised more. -
Dude I just checked out your website. The only original material I could find that wasnt copied from an official site was the 'about us' section, which has plenty of spelling & grammar errors. I won't knock you for trying to do something You're passionate about, but call it as it is.

With the large slate of DC movies set to be released in the next 4-5 years, I wouldn't be surprised to see some linked development at MW, whether that be a new ride, show or experience. As for a themed Flash coaster, much more likely for that to be a remote possibility once the movie is released in 2018, rather than an unrelated tv series -

Realistically what could you do with it? A few new trees planted and change up some of the equipment in there? that's about it
