'Verified' members is something we've looked at, but it's not something that comes up often enough to push any further. The track record of park reps joining the forums hasn't been great, the Dreamworld PR rep was shot down basically because the attraction that she was announcing was a bit crap, someone from Jamberoo joined and happened to misspell something and got jumped on to hell. Mark is really one of the few who has joined with any success.
I'm totally down with the idea that the member was Dave, I'm also open to the idea that this whole thing might happen one day. I just have been around long enough to have seen countless proposals come and go, many of which have been further along than this one is, and still came to nothing. When I say I doubt it, that's based on how these things normally go, if this one is different, then that's great! There's just nothing in the public domain to make me think this one will be any different to the other proposals that didn't happen. This one is way more ambitious than the Paramount Park for Melbourne, the Village Roadshow Safari Parks, Wet 'n' Wild Sunshine Coast, the Cultural Theme Park for Molendinar, and the 5 story indoor theme park that was proposed to take over the Surfers Paradise Transit center all combined, and each of those had more compelling information in the public domain than this does.
If it happens I'll be there on opening day, but I'll be honestly shocked if I end up having to book a flight to Sydney.
