If there’s gonna be a nice themed outlet could we perhaps not have the ghastly generic coke fridge?

The barriers and tape are for a few busy days. there has always been an outdoor queue. Enthusiasts don’t know what they don’t know. But that doesn’t mean their viewpoint should be “the park are lazy assholes”. As for debates about fire exit safety. Let’s just assume that QFES know what they’re doing more than some enthusiasts, regardless of how long their list of knowledge credentials is.

Or perhaps you have no idea what your talking about and maybe QFS re assessed the building after the park down the road killed 4 people and reduced the capacity of the queue area to half? Just perhaps. Or maybe it’s as you’re right and the park is just too lazy to move a table...

I don’t understand what it actually is you are wanting them to do here?

But for a 20 million investment they ultimately ended up with a worse attraction than it replaced which fatal story/theming flaws, less capacity and not as family friendly. So I say it’s not worth the money. You could plonk that same ride on an open pad and it would be just as good.

No

I would say they bought the ride prior to changes in requirements for safety systems and now have to try and go through a whole bunch of hoops to bring up the ride they’ve brought to meet the new requirements.

Wow

Omg that’s funny. Do we then assume accesso have only sold two of these?

Are we forgetting the previous ride which was over a year late?

No discount but it means you don’t have to wait the usual 3 off years for a production slot. Dreamworld definitely jumped on someone else’s misfortune with this one. You can’t get a coaster in 12 months normally. Great move by them.

Let’s be honest here. NO ONE is Goggling “Village Themeparks” anything 😜

Nor have they posted or advertised telling everyone to go and get the app and use it. Just because a couple eager enthusiasts went and grabbed a copy of the app doesn’t mean they’ve botched anything.

Do you mean the last little drop which has the large projection screen? I agree a better effect to mask the drop should be put back here. The old lush tree theming was good in here and maybe something could be done along those lines.

Yeah I read that chart about like 3 more times to see where I’ve missed it. It definitely says 5pm in every box.

I’ll never understand the open early rather than close later thing.

Well there is no law against having a vivid fantasy imagination

Wow 🤦‍♂️ it’s a smoke machine powered by a mixture of glycol and water. Fire restrictions don’t affect it.

Yes, they will. And this is the point option B is not actually an option. They won’t replace it. They will simply shutter it.

There’s no need for hissy fits and ‘fine I’ll share nothing’. Dangling ‘I know something you done know’ carrots is an extremely arrogant way to get people off side. If you’re a ride op that shouldn’t be saying anything better to do that than try and tow some half line where naturally people will want vagueness clarified.

And exactly why is that? Can you tell me why 100s of parks around the world manage to operate (and build new) flume rides (and rapids for that matter) safely every single day yet Dreamworld can only say “nup it must close”. How about the park actually spend the money to fix up whatever seems to be unsatisfactory and keep the ride running? The lifts are new, the tunnels are gone. It’s a very basic control system and some water pumps. If the boats are past their use-by date then buy new ones. the continuous bullshit cop out Dreamworld keep making that’s it’s ok to close rides for safety is exactly that. In reality it’s just their unwillingness to spend money to make them safe and instead continue to water down their product offering. The park is in a hot climate and has ZERO water attractions to offer their guests. That’s pathetic I’m sorry.

May as well just close it then. Not possible to have that exhibit and raise the lighting.

You’re not getting it. I don’t doubt people are crashing into others. My point is that it’s because they are morons, not because we need more lighting in there.
