  1. I think they're just trying to get people to interact with their page, nothing more really. I think a question worth asking is: "is advertising your product by highlighting how awesome other products are a good strategy for success?" Personally I reckon it's ineffective and lazy at best.

  2. I'm a Cedar Point season pass holder, and once I was in line for Top Thrill Dragster, and this idiotic member of the "GP" said it was 1000ft tall and went 200mph, god I got so angry so I went up and showed my ACE membership and corrected him on the spot. I reckon I really showed him, he won't be making that mistake again!

  4. Well this is the first time i've heard of Fast Track, how strange there's no mention of it on their website until you hit the ticketing page. So $20 to get on any 5 rides? And how does that work? Do you just walk in through the exit?

  5. Why don't we all just sneak into the park one night with some quick dry cement from bunnings, solve the problem for them, high-five the polar bears then go home so we can finally stop pointing out this pain in the ass fence we all know about and all know is just to make you visit their shops.

  7. I don't know why I called it Water Works. For the history buffs of the area. The tourism industry was developing along with the urban sprawl. Both Ashtons and Bullens Circuses were lobbying the Albert Shire Council for approval to construct Lion Parks. In December 1968 Bullens were negotiating the purchase of land in Stapylton and Ashtons established their park on the corner of Bryants Road and the Pacific Highway, which opened in April 1969. It was known as Ashton’s Animal Kingdom. Both of these ventures were relatively short lived. Ashtons was sold to the Myer Corporation in 1977. Myer Queensland Stores Ltd purchased the Ashton’s Lion Park site in October 1977 with the intention of building a regional shopping centre. A new Tavern opened in Loganholme in July 1979. The Wild Waters Water Slide Park began operation October 1982 adjacent to the old Ashtons site. While Myer initially shelved plans for the major shopping centre, a more compact centre, the Loganholme Shopping Village opened on Bryants Road in December 1987. Ongoing negotiations for the Hyperdome site involved the sale of Wild Waters in 1984. The turning of the first sod on the Hyperdome project occurred in September 1988, with the official opening in July 1989. I don't know if it still there but a few years ago near the compactors of the hyperdome, I saw the crocodile in the small cut of green slide gathering dust.
