I object to that . Pretty desperate? Aww that hurts Pride sucks.

I said they can always call me Jack! I'll head back for some work. I'd just catch the bus that's all Let the Mushroom Farmer Operate. Ask him, he'd know what he's doing They're seriously short of staff and it's only getting worse over the coming 2 weeks. C'mon Wonderland, you've got my number... :cool: No shenanigans I promise

Mate, I'm sure they don't HAVE to do anything of the sort. They'd ideally like to reap the benefits of the school holidays but how do you expect they cover shifts if we'll say 5-10 operators leave within a couple of days? More specifically Grade 4 operators. Mate, we could very well be wrong but it's very open minded thinking they'll still be open then. Pretty optimistic if you ask me. It's simple, if they can't cover shifts they won't be open. You'll note that Galbraith has never ruled out an early closure. He has said he will do his best to ensure it remains open until said date.

I think you'll find it's more to the tune of $160 million Jack.

What they'd ideally like is for ex-staff members to come back meaning they don't have to completely train them. They'd just recertify them on required rides, which instead of spending a whole day training might only be a couple of hours or so. Keep in mind that training on Demon, Probe, Bush Beast or Snowy is a whole day thing. Time they don't really have.

Everytime Shifty posts, he kills one of his brain cells. As I said before, I can't really see them spending a truckload of money on said event. Fireworks and countdowns and that type of shenanigans are usually associated with celebrations. I'm sure there will be some event to mark the occasion, but nothing to the extent that you have gone to Shifteroo. Knowing Wonderland, they'll give staff a can of coke and a sausage sandwich.

Don't you have fun helping people my friend? That's what this life of ours is all about. It is a blessing to give rather than to receive. May peace be with you all. Yours Sincerely, Australia's Dalai Lama

No sh*t!

As far as I know, a few ex attractions staff members have gone back and are doing shifts here and there on days off from their other jobs. Overtime is being thrown out like you wouldn't believe, just to keep the park going. They're going to lose a few to Luna Park by the end of the month, I'm not sure what they're going to do then. Hence, predictions on an early closure. They can always ring me... I'll go back til they close if they take me

Speeecialllll

Absolutely right. Why would they fork out money when the park is rat crap anyway? It's not exactly a 'Krusty the Clown' comeback special event is it? The way they're going with staff numbers at the moment, it'll be lucky to see the end of the month. Shifty, in the words of Bruce McAvaney, you're 'pure gold' digger.

It saddens me greatly to see you cannot even spell Wonderland correctly Shifty, but it kills me to see you cannot spell the name of the city you live in. Shame on you Dawg. I don't see why they'd be having a count down. It's not exactly a celebration is it? Then again, for the owners I guess it is. The only big bang going to happen around Wonderland is when Demon finally sh*ts itself when it hits lift 2.

Your one friend hey Scream? What about all of us old mate? What sort of work do volunteers do at the Easter Show?

G'day Xtreme, welcome to the forum old mate. You bet your bicky's it's closing. You should get the news down there within the next couple of years. haha nah I love Adelaide. I'm there all the time. See here. There were plenty of story's in our newspapers up here and on the news but they've all been archived online unfortunately. April 26 is scheduled to be the last day. Whether she's still here then, who knows? The theme park was sold to ING last month. It's being re-zoned into more industrial land. I'm sure you'll read about it all as you make your way through the threads.

It is quite possible. 'I'm a goer' I've heard before, never, 'I'm Go'. haha. Good on you old mate. I like what you've got to say. Keep up the good posts. Looks like poor old Shifty has fallen off the face of the earth? Where are you boofhead? I mean, bugger, um... Compassion is not religious business, it is human business, it is not luxury, it is essential for our own peace and mental stability, it is essential for human survival. Hugs for all. Don't fly the coup on us Shifty. We need you.

You've been getting English lessons from Shifty haven't you old mate?

Haven't you heard about the kinky goings-on at band camp old mate?

Ahh the old band camp ploy hey scream? I know your type old son

Post the pic of the tracksuited gimp. I'll tell you if he's a regular.

Yeah, he's the dodgems nazi. Spends hours upon hours there. He used to come to the exit at Probe and bang on the door, you'd open it and he'd just want to come straight in. Tosser. Definitely a 6 pack short of a case.

I never got close enough to guests to check out their teeth unfortunately. Sounds as though you got a close up. Pashed him did ya?

It was probably Liam Was he about 40 or so? It wouldn't have been Kev, he'd have had jeans on. Boofhead Flea would know Kev anyway. It could have been the guy who claims to be maintenance from the Gold Coast. He comes weekends only, unlike Kev. Curly sorta hair. Then again he usually wears jeans and a Wonderland t-shirt. There's another guy I'd say around 20 who isn't quite there who is also a regular. Dark hair.

C'mon Rich, we know about all the millions you make on here.

You're a bunch of buggers for not telling me. I mean, I mean, spread the love beautiful people. Yeah you get the weird ones that go around and open doors for you and it's like good on you pal, you're a superstar, but you still ain't getting my pay cheque so nick off. Well staff in the water is a big no no in Uncle Wally's book. One of the first thing's you're told when you're trained is you do not get into the water! That's what the throw bag is for. I said stuff that at the time and I still maintain that it would not be something I think about. It would be a spur of the moment thing and I'd be in if someone was in there, I don't care what anyone says. It's definitely something you wouldn't have the chance to think about. You'd be in before you realised what you had just done. Interesting however. I might ask my former collegues on the 26th April. Until then, hang tight.

Nah Bus is a tight arse. Bus gives no slack. Pockets are deeper than his/her arms can reach I'll assure you of that
