You're a very unintelligent person.

You will be happy to know @DaptoFunlandGuy The Big Banana water park is now open during the week.

[themagician]

@New display name if the park not being open is that big of an issue to you, maybe you should write to the park directly and expression your concern.

Why, don't they read the forum?  Have you seen the extended hours WnW are planning for summer?  Will WWW have extended hours for summer?

What about the other, bigger, better waterpark just down the road from them?

[New display name]

I can't recall any other water park just down the road.  Remind me. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

oh, sorry (not sorry) - I thought you were holding out the fact that the Big Banana was open despite the larger waterpark just down the road also being open as being demonstrative of there being sufficient demand to have two waterparks open in periods where most people are still in school or at work. 

So it turns out they don't have a bigger, better waterpark down the road that is directly competing for the off-peak patronage - and so they are likely to catch any and all people looking for a waterslide and pool facility - they have a captive audience, which is not the same situation on the northern gold coast, and so your mentioning of the fact that Big Banana was open mid-week was entirely irrelevant to the discussion and is just another strawman in your land of Oz... 

 

[New display name]

You must have the numbers of the catch WWW and WnW have.  What are they?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Oh, darn! I'm afraid I left those in my other sock. 

I'm sure the park has them though and has made an informed decision on costs to operate vs. opportunity to make a buck.

Oh look! we've gone full circle again!

OR

They haven't got their eyes on the prize and been too distracted by DW.    At this point Coast Entertainment should be renamed to Dreamworld.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Distracted by Drea... ?

*Gasp*

You think the company's biggest and most profitable asset... is a distraction? 😮

Isn't Dreamworld the prize? Wouldn't shareholders be like... super critical if Coast was devoting all their time into operating a waterpark during off peak and low patronage seasons, purely and foolishly to try and compete with their big competitor down the road, instead of returning Dreamworld back to its full capability?

They would? cool.

Can someone go back and find that reply where I said i'm happy for them to keep WWW on cruise control while they focus on rebuilding the core product of Dreamworld and once Dreamworld is back on track, then they can focus on their other issues? And then quote it here for him to ignore again? K. thx.

 

P.S. - when you find that - if you could happen to find all the other people also saying the same thing, while this guy is the sole voice of opposition, feel free to quote those other people too.

[New display name]

100% DW have also said it.  The have put all their focus on DW.   That's why I said from the start, (because they keep telling us, WWW is a separate park (then even locked the gates between the parks))  WWW should be run by a different team.  

Coast Entertainment can't expect the bosses of DW to do everything.

And Coast Entertainment should relocate to the Gold Coast while they are at it. 

There is nothing in Sydney for you📣

Just my take. 😉

You just keep expecting them to pay more money on workforce at a time when they're still trying to build the business up, and profits are razor thin. maybe saving money is a good thing right now?

 

At any rate, we've heard your take. ad nauseum, and on repeat. Its safe to assume that the good people at Coast have heard it too - and clearly they don't agree with you - so it'd be super awesome if this topic didn't go the way of the turnstiles and become the meme everyone references every time you yell at a cloud.

[New display name]

@DaptoFunlandGuy DW have started taken steps on improving WWW, so I think they do agree with me.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Park still closed = don't agree with you. 

We have both been in agreement that WWW needs sprucing up and refreshing, the only difference has been the timing. If they are starting to turn their minds towards WWW, perhaps they are pleased with the progress of the dry park. 

I still think the dry park is short a few key attractions, given how many were gutted from the park in the last 10 years, in reality they have added Sky Voyager, Taipan, Jungle Rush and Flyer, refurbished the vintage cars and upgraded the claw. Does that make up for the loss of TRRR, Buzzsaw, Rocky Hollow, Wipeout and technically Eureka? I'd say it's pretty close - so maybe they are ready to start work on WWW after all?

CEH AGM today.

 

I didn't see one mention of WWW.  😢

I didn't see one picture of WWW, in the presentation.  😢

 

Map supplied in case the bigwigs want to know the location of WWW.  //s

 

(drove past WnW today and witnessed school kids exiting the bus @DaptoFunlandGuy to go to a water park, on a school day). KIDS AT A WATER PARK! ON A SCHOOL DAY! FUCK ME, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT EITHER AND ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH, WHEN I TOOK A DOUBLE TAKE @DaptoFunlandGuy.

FUCK ME, @New display nameTHINKS YOU CAN PROFITABLY OPERATE NOT ONE, BUT TWO WATERPARKS ON A SINGLE BUS LOAD OF SCHOOL KIDS! I'M IN THE WRONG BUSINESS AND AM OFF TO SPEND MILLIONS ON A WATERSLIDE TOWER. I'M GOING TO MAKE BANK!

Wait. I should do my due diligence. I have some additional questions.

1. Will this ultra profitable bus turn up every day?
2. Will they pay the same entrance fee to attend every day?
3. Will they want to go swimming in June?
4. How many other ultra profitable buses are out there, and how do I get them to come to my park, while still making a profit?
5. If the ultra profitable schoolbus doesn't come to my park - how do I pay my staff, utility bills and other expenses that are inherent in the daily operation of such a large facility? Is there a magic wand I can use?

No silly, kids don't go to school on the weekends.

No silly, they will get it at a bulk price, which is more than what the person who attends WWW on Saturday on a season pass.

Never asked, I was driving! and a bit creepy a for me to start talking to school kids.

Don't know, but very common at this time of the year for the parks to be filled with school kids.  My child's school went to DW.

If the bus doesn't go to your park, your park is shit.
