The Train Shed - the only equipment - arc welder, bench vise, bench grinder. Utilities - electricity, water, compressed air.

Yep, agree 100%.

Do you even know what is going on around Coomera at the moment? One of my clients owns all of the shops along that street. He gets calls all the time from developers wanting to buy his land and some of them are offering crazy money. There has been so many development companies sitting on their hands waiting for the Coomera Town Centre to go ahead. All the land around DW has be purchased many years ago and all the plans are in place. No one has made a move because everyone was waiting for the Town Centre to go ahead. That whole area either side of DW is going to boom.

That's not a silly little thing.... that's quite a large and highly intricate thing.

^or Eureka Mountain Mine Ride Will continue to rot in place

I think somewhere it was posted that the Maze itself would remain, with plans for it to reopen afterwards. I'd suggest then they're unlikely to be cutting into that part - although the briefing room and exit room will probably get utilised. What a wicked storage room for the retail staff to work out of though!

Just counting rides in local parks that are still operating: Favourites- Wild West Falls Superman Escape Least favourites: The Claw. It's my nemesis, it totally messed with my perception of what was the ground, and what was the sky. The Big Red Car Ride. Yes, I typically travel with its target audience, and even they thought it was lame. I actually quite like MDMC for a family ride (not a thrill ride), it's not a favourite, but IMO not worthy of all the hate.

@POP is going to be so upset your post is right-aligned. as T-Bone posted in an earlier update - there is a wooden frame being erected over Kevil's facade - so they're clearly planning on covering it up.

Just do as the Japanese do and BYO umbrella, all the shade you need!

I'm going to keep my list Australian. Favourites 1) Superman - it's the country's best coaster. No contest. 2) Abyss - The best bang for buck coaster style out there. 3) Tower of Terror - The original and the best. When it first opened it was something else. Lap-bars, full speed, full height. 4) Jet Rescue - Out of control, simple, exciting. Who-ever designated is as a family coaster is a crazy man, and I love them. Bottom of the barrel 1) Motocoaster - Sorry Dreamworld, but it's true. Call it a sign of management at the time, the fact that it could've been a Vekoma Motorbike Coaster and swapped at the last minute for something Intamin somehow turned into a huge mistake. Terrible station design, terrible placement in the park and a bland ride experience. The park would be better off selling it (not hard given the way it was constructed) and turning back into vintage cars. I'm genuinely not one of these overly nostalgic people, change is good, but they destroyed a generational icon in the park and replaced it with something that further ruined another area of the park that was Disney-esque and I really do believe the ride is just so bad that very few guests if any would mourn its loss. Let me put it to you this way, the vintage cars had charm because you could drive it around rides, over bridges, through tunnels etc. all the things the current iteration doesn't have and so if you surveyed guests "would you rather a) Vintage cars back where they were and Mine Ride to open but kill Motocoaster or B ) keep things exactly as they are?" I guarantee most guests would vote the former.

My opinion to this project:
