Have to agree. I prefer to holiday in Australia knowing that my $ will get full value and it's helping our economy plus keeping jobs.

Ok i didn't know that.

Yes the stop start needs to go. Why do they have that?

I know that but rides spin to a momentum. Just like the claw. They spin the same way every ride.

I'll be there Friday week so if there's no pic then I'll put one up. It's great news that DW is "finally" making improvements. If only they could get a 2nd train for the Cyclone.

So where's th best place to sit to get soaked?

I agree with myk. The front banner/page should be Australian.

I will soon.

Although February is the low season. It's the high season for maintenance.

Yesterday i got Mario V's Sonic Olympics and Mario Galaxy for $79 at K-Mart in Footscray. Also bought 3 Nun Chucks at JB-HI FI for $27 each at Highpoint. Only problem is that we have 3 remotes instead of 4.

Dreamworld needs a 2nd train for the Cyclone. The queue line can be horrendous at times. Even in off peak.

Wow 2 trains in off peak that's cool. I hope they'll continue that while I'm there.

Tornado is a pretty cool ride but IMO it's not as good as WWW. Do they have the splash cash working? Every time i go to WnW it's never working. H2O is awesome esp the black hole. The only ride i didn't do was the speed slide. I seen this kid get airborne and totally put me off. I thought he was gonna fly over the wall. I'm thinking of going to Wnw even though i have WWW pass. Did you do calypso beach? Anyway thanks for the TR and glad you had a great time.

You should be able to go the paper office and get a copy. Or just ring them up and they'll send it out. That's what they do here with the Herald Sun.

Ok maybe i went OTT with the C & P bit but i didn't think it needed a commentary. I'm quite surprised that there's been so many accidents. Getting zapped at an ATM machine is a first. I remember think it was last year where i got zapped in the queue line for the T.O.T.

Queensland Government investigates dozens of incidents November 24, 2007 01:00am Article from: The Courier-Mail * FOI documents reveal freak accidents * Theme park staff, entertainers hurt * Incident reports censored or withheld A TIGER escaped from its enclosure, a dugong attacked a diver and a terrified child was left dangling from an amusement ride in a series of bizarre mishaps at Gold Coast theme parks. A Dreamworld attendant was made to stand in the hot sun for four hours straight with no breaks or shade. The incidents were among dozens investigated by the Queensland government and include an explosion at Movie World in which three men were badly burned, one losing an eye. Workplace health and safety documents obtained under Freedom of Information also revealed another serious skiing accident during a stunt at Sea World last year. Out-of-control jet ski slams into audience A man, believed to be Liam Alrich, suffered a shocking leg injury when he was rammed against a "safety wall" erected after an out-of-control jet ski slammed into the audience hurting four people seated in the stadium in 2002. Nearly all accident victims in recent years were employees of theme parks. Gold Coast trick rider Sarah Nicholas, 20, whose act included standing on a horse and riding blindfolded, suffered head injuries in a fall at the Australian Outback Spectacular. She left to pursue a nursing career but told me she is still a trick rider part-time. "It's fun," she said. Workplace health and safety officers expressed anger after finding a young log ride attendant at Dreamworld was made to "stand in the hot sun for four hours straight with no breaks or shade". "The dingo had better protection than the worker," investigator Ray Billiet reported. Dreamworld then changed its work practices and erected shades. Incident reports censored or withheld Not all the reports into workplace health and safety were released. Several were censored or withheld because their release was not deemed to be in the public interest. These included a five-page report on a log ride "incident" at Dreamworld, a report on ride seatbelts at Dreamworld, and a report on a "horse colliding with a pedestrian" at Australian Outback Spectacular. An investigation into a lifeguard rescue at Wet 'n' Wild also was withheld. Other incidents include a near-fatal carbon monoxide poisoning at Wet 'n' Wild and a complaint by a worker that he suffered an electric shock from an automatic teller machine at Dreamworld. Theme park bosses said incidents involving members of the public were rare. And Minister for Workplace Safety John Mickel said there had been no adverse findings against the safety of amusement rides. However there were complaints that an attendant laughed when a terrified child was left dangling from Dreamworld's Reef Diver spinning ride. The child's mother complained the velcro strap holding the boy came loose. However it is believed the boy was still safely secured inside a metal cage. Celebrity dugong rams scuba diver At Sea World earlier this year a scuba diver suffered neck injuries when he was rammed by Pig, the 250kg celebrity dugong raised at Sea World after he was found orphaned at Ingham in 1998. At Dreamworld, operator error was blamed in part for a series of collisions on the log ride with cabins known as capsules bumping into each other. There were no reports of injury. Dreamworld was also cited last year for allowing combustible debris and vegetation to build up around its dangerous goods storage area. And it was criticised for an incomplete safety management system for the storage of dangerous goods. Movie World answered a complaint that a worker had been harassed and another complaint of broken asbestos sheeting being found lying near the Lethal Weapon ride. In March last year investigators reported that a warehouse assistant was rushed to hospital after being exposed to elevated levels of carbon monoxide at Wet 'n' Wild. The worker became unwell while operating an LPG-powered forklift in a coldroom for about 50 minutes. The theme park has since switched to electric-powered forklifts. Mr Mickel said: "Workplace Health and Safety Queensland has built a co-operative and positive relationship with the theme parks over many years which has led to a high level of compliance with safety regulations and adoption of industry best practice."

You must have watched a different program because all i seen was a fat kid "making a noise" not singing.

Just another question. Is the Carnival game good?

Lisa was gonna get the Simpsons game. She's going to get the Mario & Sonic one instead. Just off topic Tony are you gonna go to the WWW night event?

Wasn't too bad. Segment was way short though. Didn't make me that excited though.

It's on after the break.

Got the silicon jackets today.

Yep same here. Always wanted to visit it. Next month I'll have the chance. Just hope it'll be warm enough.

Tonight at 7:30 on channel 9.

Couldn't agree more. They also should get rid of that stupid drag racing DVD.
