Never said it had anything to do with the loans, just pointing out how much of a childish tantrum move it is. Good on them for sticking to their beliefs, just a shame both the CEO and COO have chucked childish tantrums towards the hand that was feeding them. By all means, chuck a tantrum, but don't do it in the way they have without expecting people to comment about how childish it is.
Oh come on. You mentioned the loans to suggest village "owed" the premier something. That is the only reason you mentioned it so don't pretend otherwise. They got loans becuase it was commercially beneficial to QTC and qld as a whole.
Still haven't seen anyone quote any statements by anyone at village that are objectively wrong or show a tantrum. I see a company fighting for their future in a heavily politicized pre election environment.
Or is it just that the man with the transition lenses that a few of you decided you don't like said a naughty swear word to media?

Care to elaborate? Genuinely curious what you mean by this.

What about the statement that the CEO of the company has “banned” the premier of the state from entering their theme parks? The same premier of a government who has dished out millions of dollars to said business to help build new attractions to entice tourism and keep their gates open?
Banned? Erm no they cancelled a schedule political photo op because they weren't happy with how talks with the govt were going. Thats their right as a private business just as it was their right to allow the premier to visit in the first place for some positive pr.
Has nothing to do with the commercial loans they secured from the independently governed QTC.
@Jdude95 grow up. The edgelord schtick isn't as cool as you think it is.

Oh good @AlexB the expert at everything speaks. Murdoch is trash. LNP offered nothing. Labor have handled covid well and won that election largely because of that handling. I have already said that. But they plucked the '28 days of no community transmission' definition of a hotspot out of no where in the months leading up to the election. Theres no WHO or legitimate scientific basis for this hardline '28 day' policy. Feel free to post links to medical/scientific materials that suggest otherwise.
The curves were flattened with open borders through far more targeted and swift declarations of actual hotspots as needed months before the borders were closed. And that 'logan liar' situation you mentioned showed that community compliance with social distancing and swift contact tracing is both ncredibly effective and far more important because this virus can and does slip through the cracks.
@Jdude95 yet again demonstrates his wit and intellect with his well researched rebuttal.

So you don't look like your company is run by children constantly having tantrums...
What actual statement by village do you disagree with though? And where are these tantrums exactly?
13 hours ago, Levithian said:Dictated by politics, but all parties refuse to open the borders fully and instead state they will follow health advice which says to keep things closed? Where is the great change going to come from?
How do you explain areas of Brisbane remaining fully open when there’s a community outbreak but areas of NSW shut off from Qld despite no cases in months? (prior to last weeks easing off border restrictions)
You can’t, not from a scientific viewpoint. Because it’s been an us vs them, qld vs nsw, ALP vs LNP parochial gamble ahead of an election that paid off. I don’t even hate it and I voted for this govt to stay but I’m not going to pretend that the nsw border hasn’t been pure politics

Well it's not like Village also produce films and run cinemas.

They chose money over people and it's constantly rubbing people in the wrong way because management are just coming off as children having tantrums anytime there's a camera around.
how so? How have they chosen money over people exactly? By being vocal about an issue (borders) that is currently 100% dictated by politics and elections and 0% to do with public health or safety?
Theres no logical reason that a 40,000 person grand final can go ahead but Sydney remains shut off because of a tiny handful of isolated cases. Its all election nonsense.
Watch things open up very quickly in coming weeks regardless of who wins todays election. Its 100% politics. So why not wade in and get vocal if you're village and getting shafted probably more than almost any other publicly listed company?

Current Village management in a nutshell
How so? They decided to wade into state politics during an election in a very vocal way thats definitely rubbing people in the wrong way.
But why is that management in a nutshell? Aside from covid related border restrictions, what other management decisions recently are the same as this?

Straight from the Sea World website
I don’t think anyones disputing that its a marine park in the vein of the US Seaworlds. Its whether it is a theme park. And the answer is absolutely yes.
Themed areas and rides have been integral to SW for 30+ years. They’ve continued to add new themed rides every few years.
Also should point out VRT only really started calling it a marine park very recently to soften their image after all the animal activist nonsense. That’s just branding and marketing. It’s still a theme park by any reasonable definition.
-
I quoted multiple posts and it is (was?) a friendly back and forth of different ideas between multiple members but sure, not a debate 🤷♂️

That's completely different. Sea World is based around marine conservation, and has always intended to be focussed on that. Whereas Dreamworld was originally intended as a theme park with a few Australian animals, and has slowly expanded to also include Tigers. Dreamworld also has far more rides and attractions than Seaworld does.
7 minutes ago, StingRay said:If you look back at history Seaworld Australia was set up as a marine park. Yes, there have added rides and attractions and I support that.
Nope. Seaworld started as a ski show and gradually added animals and rides. The heavy reliance on animals only came about in the late 90's. They had heavily themed rides like lassiters (which became Bermuda Triangle) long before there was any conservation message or animals were the main thing.
DW and SW are both theme parks that are severely lacking in rides and good theming. But both are theme parks and this is a really stupid debate to be having.

So you weren’t banned @Jdude95? No wonder you guys get attacked for your “beliefs” when you just spin any old crap to suit your “dw good village bad” narrative.
23 minutes ago, Jdude95 said:Surely you're not that dense?
So there’s not a big depressing wall cutting off a path that used to go to the other half the park there? Like it’spretty amazing that your relying on black and white dictionary definitions to say that’s not a miserable corner of the park. A path that once went somewhere now no longer does. It’s a dead end. And the wall literally connectors to BRC

On another note, finally stopped in at MW today since it re-opened.
Didn’t Bikash ban you?

I do know we get attacked however on a regular basis for what we believe in.I never said you said it so why do you keep asking me to prove it.
I like that the victim complex switches from “I” to “we” at the end there. If “we get attacked” then maybe also take responsibility for the anti village stuff that “we” keep posting?

Dude there’s a 10ft wall across the path next to BRC that cuts dreamworld in half. That’s not a dead end?

On the contrary, Ardent has opened at a time where we know more about the virus thanks to time, and we seem to have a better hand on it than what we did back earlier in the year.
Except DW had petitioned for and gained approval to open months ago. At the same time that village started reopening. The only reason they didn't is because they were broke.

If you can show evidence while breaking NDA's about the future sale of VRTP then go for it.
Current shareholders will be able to retain their shares. The kirby family are remain in charge and a major shareholder. Its moving the company from public to private, not selling. That's not NDA stuff. Thats in public announcements.

I never said you said that? But collectively you and the ppl that run the DW page have waged a war that no one else is fighting against village, and said all the things I listed.

Your logic is pathetic. WWF is a dead end, is it not?
What do you expect? If a ride is closed for maintenance, of course there's going to be a dead end.
Also why does there need to be a competition between DW and MW? We should support both parks, and appreciate the efforts that both parks have gone to, to ensure they are safe and open for the public.
Get your head out of your ass - it's not a hat. Don't get so offended if someone supports a park you don't like.
Wait what? What even does that last line mean? I'm criticising a major company with lots of flaws. Yet you (and @Jobe) seem to think personal insults are appropriate for anyone that dares to say that DW is looking rubbish. That's pretty childish.
WWF and a few other things @joz pointed out suck at MW. I didn't bring up direct comparisons to MW. @StingRay did and I replied with a list of things from DW seeing as he decided to make this about DW vs MW's failings for some reason.
You're right its not a competition. But no we shouldn't all support both blindly. Do you go back to your favourite restaurant after it repeatedly gives you food poisoning? I don't hate DW but I definitely hate what it's looking like right now. And my idea of support isn't to ignore how bad DW looking and pretend they're getting better when it keeps getting worse.
I'm not offended that people like DW. I'm amused by the hipocrasy from the DW fanboys who went as far as calling the vrtp boss a wanker and said they were risking the public's safety when they reopened but have been mysteriously quiet about DW reopening.

I see you cant spell Movieworld.
Do they not have a main street anymore?. Feel free to hate. Mate you and your DW fanpage buddies have hated on MW for months with bullshit like saying they're risking people's lives, bullying the govt and cutting corners to sell the place. None of which are true.
DW has reopened and it's shambles and your rushing to their defence and bringing a few remaining issues at MW into it for no reason than to deflect from the fact that DW is falling to bits.

My bad. Definitely no dead ends at BRC where they've shut half the park.

Which main street? The main street that splits off into a depressing dead end at Buzzsaw, a depressing dead end at Giant Drop, a depressing dead end at the Log Flume, a depressing dead end at Hotwheels, a depressing dead end at Trolls and a depressing dead end at big red car?

Funnily I didn’t see any opinion pieces criticising the VTP parks on their re-opening, especially MW which opened with more then half its slate out of action..
Probably because even with half it's stuff closed it's not a depressing shithole that keeps getting worse like DW looks in the photos from yesterday.
-
Neither company was performing anything but the bare minimum of preventative maintenance while things were shut indefinitely. Dreamworld have a full 5 weeks from today and a check for 70 million to catch up on maintenance and certification. They also had 7 weeks before now to get ready.
The comparison is accurate but not the full picture.

Good one! MW were given approval by the govt to reopen like most businesses in qld and can actually afford to do so unlike their competitors so of course they're now rampant with cases. ZING! 🤣
