Seems like you've found a very good and knowledgeable person within DW there @reanimated35 - hold onto that for sure! Much better than the usual Kenny \ Belinda responses of 'watch this space' or 'i need to eat gumleaves'

Wonder no more my good man...

Sweary rant, but you know what, who cares: Society has gone utterly mad. I was out today at a shopping center (Pacific Fair FWIW) and a kids ball had landed in a water feature, and was out of reach, the fountain must've been maybe a bit deeper than ankle deep, MAYBE knee deep and had a flat bottom. What's fucking mental about it is there was a group of about 3 or 4 staff trying to figure out how to get the ball back. Like it was some impossible challenge that simply couldn't be solved. I watched for a good 4 or 5 mins until the wind happened to pick up, which brought the ball back, if it hadn't I think they'd still be there trying to figure out what to do 5 hours later. We're so far up bullshit public liability creek as a society, a bunch of adults couldn't bring themselves to take off their shoes off and walk though a small amount of water to get the ball back. $500,000 for a garden bed fall? Fuck what's left of society love, have a million! If some staff saw you standing there, that's basically the same thing as if Bugs Bunny himself had personally clubbed you in the kneecaps. Lady, if you happen to read this; thanks for making it that staff and customers have to be involved in confrontations about where they can and can't stand because of your inability to function as a person. Thank you for adding to the culture of a lack of personal responsibility. Just so you know though, society is fucked, and it's YOUR fault, and anyone who is even a little bit like you.

They just LOOK guilty. I mean, look at those damn bricks. They'd kill you and everyone you know and love.

Kinda reminds me of this lol...

Don't mind him Maxin. You'll find there are many armchair moderators on here that lack some in people skills. Welcome. Try not to use too much crazy text though cause it tend to be annoying, but hopefully someone can answer your question.

I'm a bit sad now that I never got to ride the rowboat.

Wow, how awesome is Dreamworld for being so open and detailed about their ride maintenance! If said DW rep is reading this, thank you so much for keep us theme park geeks informed. Much appreciated This is a prime example of why I personally think Dreamworld is the best park out of the lot, because they always willing to take the time and go the extra mile for their fans lol ❤? Awesome! I look forward to this ☺ ETA: LOL at that direct response to Alex B's post! Wasn't expecting that ???

Very good work. All along we just had to ask.

They're also going to ask if the maintenance guys can grab a photo of the rollback device before the ride is filled again too.

I look at it this way - given their history of the 'studio' theme in the park, and the use of big white sheds for practically everything, they could very well have left them the way they were, which would ruin the immersive area they are trying to build. I for one am glad to see them expending additional effort, time and money to try and blend the sheds with the new theme. Given the Main street buildings are scaled on the upper floors, and the use of forced perspective in film (which used to be ably demonstrated until the village bean arrived), I don't rightly care if the backdrop isn't perfect. They've tried, and given the smart use of the evac stairs as part of a building fire escape, which also gives the backdrop a 3d element - i'm happy enough with the result.

What are you talking about @Santa07. That door is the shortcut to god. The more I look at that backdrop the more I don't like it. The idea is right but the scale is really bad.

I agree, although the magical door to the sky is a little off-putting for me.

Mystery solved......

I quite like Velocity. Perhaps Virgin will sponsor it!
