Log Ride Closing for Good?

He hasnt been in the job long enough to have ordered new boats and have them ready for delivery. I doubt its a simple, slap together in a few months deal to have them arrive even if they did shell out for new ones to get rid of the canopies.

I wouldnt be surprised if its getting another upgrade. Building shit changes pretty drastic in 12 months sometimes. Cant imagine what an industry like this one being driven by deaths and safety investigations with a coroners report casting shadow over everything is like. Could literally have a standard or control change within months and render lots of previously coded stuff obsolete. 

Hell, even insurance could change and make it difficult to find coverage if you dont have a manufacturer to fall back on, given what happened with their other inhouse ride. Lots of risk to assume even if you think everything is safe.

@Levithian you do realise that Greg introduced Fully Six and the new rollercoaster and he hadn't been COO for very long. If you look back to the investor presentation in February Ardent said that there will be no more rides coming to Dreamworld. 

 

It took movieworld roughly 2 years to see their hypercoaster manufactured and delivered. So do you think that 1) they already coughed up the money for a coaster well before greg moved camps, or 2) they purchased an already built coaster, possibly ordered by someone else?

People seem to overestimate how big these companies are and how much time it actually takes to manufacture structural steel components when you have a waiting list of clients as it is.

Where does it say that?

It was announced in a parks post in February that dreamworld was not building any new major attractions as they changed there plans and that was before Greg took over. So Greg restarted those plans for new rides and attractions when he took over

Bit of a stretch. The new debt facility was announced in April which provided headroom for Dreamworld capex. Greg didn’t start for another month.

I don't understand why we aren't seeing any work being done on it

While right now is Peak Season for our Theme Parks, it's Holiday time for most People across Tradie industries.

The daily DW Tech Services People's responsibility is to maintain the daily operable Attractions and of course, be available to assist if/when stoppages occur.

Regardless of whether the LR will reopen or not, you won't see any action in the area right now.
