Having done countless interviews as a prospective employer in customer service and retail environments, I support Brad's position on Jeans. It just doesn't look professional enough. Take a look at the vast majority of retail and customer service workers, and they're typically wearing black dress pants. These aren't expensive - as a matter of fact you can get a paid of black dress pants cheaper at lowes than you can buy kirkland denim jeans at Costco ($12.99 vs. $29.97), but they look FAR MORE PROFESSIONAL. A nice plain coloured Polo would be ok in my eyes for a position such as this, but as you move up in the food chain (think guest services) you'd be looking for a full button down shirt or blouse. And for goodness' sake - MAKE SURE THEY ARE IRONED!!! Something I look at when I do interviews though, is shoes. First of all - let me be clear - LEATHER. DRESS. SHOES. (Usually black). If you're contemplating wearing joggers, street shoes, or anything else along those lines - leave now. I was going to suggest school shoes as an example but realised most people wore joggers to school in later years. and girls - NO BALLET FLATS. It's easy enough to drop your pants (shut up @reanimated35!!!) or shirt at the dry cleaners and pay $15 to have them cleaned and pressed ready for your interview, but everyone always wears the same old black leather shoes they wore to school \ their fast food job etc. Filthy, scuffed, unpolished shoes will be a quicker 'no' from me than Jeans - regardless of the rest of the presentation. And @AllegroCrab - (to answer the last part of your post) this is why - When it comes to retail, and customer service, the first impression is usually the ONLY opportunity to capture, or lose the customer. A person who shows up in dirty, scuffed or unpolished shoes shows that they didn't put any real effort into impressing me. Same with Jeans, or a t-shirt. And if that person doesn't think I'm worth putting in the extra effort to polish their shoes, and iron a pair of $13 dress pants - how much effort are they going to put into presenting well to my customers? to serving my customers? to representing my brand? If there are 50 positions, and they're pressed for time, they may lower their standards to get people in the door because they need them, but if there are 10 positions, and they've got 100+ candidates, and they've got a few weeks to get you onboard - rest assured they will be looking for the quick wins on who to eliminate.

All Bountys was old, there comes a point with everything that it has to retire. We would have loved to have kept her for longer but it wasnt possible for safety reasons (and those decisions are made well in advance of any real safety threat just to be certain) The gentleman's comments above are just plain factually incorrect and we spoke to him directly and suggested he remove the post and I believe he then did. Some parts are going to Fun Fields in Victoria and the boat itself will sit at the bottom of the Kraken hill with a new detail and tentacles as if Kraken had taken her in the dark depths of winter. Mi3 contract is being tweaked tonight with a man in Europe (?) and will be the biggest of its kind in Australia at around $7.5m. We have two locations being considered for the ride. Thats all I can tell you. Some one mentioned thats two attractions that have been removed: obviously Paddles was removed a few years ago and I believe the new lawn will be a great addition to the park and gives us plenty of space for shows etc.. Inferno returns this year after a years sabatical and a change of personality so I guess that makes it evens along with some great other additions in the Park enhancing what is already there, including a much improved water mountain theme. I would appreciate if these comments are not copied onto any FB pages as these dialogues are meant to be between our community. I would not want to have to crawl back under a rock and cease communications if this trust was breached! Thanks Mark

No, I don't. Unlike others, I respect boundary lines and remaining outside of restricted areas. No photo is worth that gamble to me, when I have spent many years building up the trust and respect of park management and staff. I intend to keep it that way ??

I'm so certain that they will, I'd put money on it lol. The theming on either side of the white frames clearly cuts off abruptly, and there's a spiky bit to match the themed one next to it. so undoubtedly there are bits/covers that will slot over the top and give the ring a perpetual look, once they have finished doing the wiring or whatever needs doing inside the top part of the ring. ETA: Coincidentally enough whilst looking at that photo I took above, I realised there was some tiny writing on the frame and went in for a look. Thank God there was someone there who thought to point out which side was which and avoid a backwards ring situation ? (Ahh, I love the zoom on my camera ❤️)

I've had group interviews done two different ways for Village Roadshow. Two of them were being sat in a room at tables with about 15 other people, sitting through what is almost like a pre-interview orientation with a slideshow (where they tell you about job specifics) and then they set up chairs at one end of the room and pick people off one at a time to be interviewed. Sometimes there is more than one interviewer, sometimes it's one on one and other times it might be more - I've also had two on one. These group interview sessions were held in a recruitment room in the staff/admin area of the park. The other format was for Christmas casuals over all departments and parks, held a couple of years ago. There were around 50+ people at least, they split us all up into groups depending on the position/s we were applying for. I vaguely remember having to put on a wristband or a sticker or something to indicate these. We were led into the park and then all had to form a long line next to the STARS cafe entrance (opposite the department store) and each table up at the cafe had an interviewer sitting at it. There must have been about 10 of them. Candidates had to go up one at a time to be interviewed, as interviewers became free. When the interview was done, then you would be free to leave the park (they had security monitoring to ensure there were no runaways, but it was held at park close time anyway) and that was it. There wasn't a pre-interview orientation via this method. I guess it all depends on how many other candidates there are. But you'll find leading up to Christmas time, they are more likely to follow the second format due to the large number of vacancies available and people applying. My suggestion dress wise would be to dress to impress. I've seen many others dress smart casual to these interviews, but I have always gone the extra mile by wearing a formal button up short sleeved shirt and black pants/shoes, as per what they would expect me to wear on the job. Good luck! Hope that info helps. Got my fingers and toes crossed for you ?? PS. Oh, and btw, be prepared with an adequate response for the old "tell us about a time you've had to deal with a difficult customer and how you overcame it" interview question. I've been asked it every single time without fail for customer service related positions, including with Village Roadshow ???

I just wanted to be the person responsible for #100,000 on Parkz, hahaha Yay!!!

I think we all got that it was a joke bladex. A over-used, out-of-date and unnecessary one...

Last year, they only focused on the Friday the 13th maze in the commercial then they posted photos of the rules for surviving Zombieland ( eg " Cardio" etc). Nothing was mentioned in the commercial for Zombieland even though it took place in the Zombieland Precinct.

I'd like to see you try yourself blade.

A large shipping container has appeared in the Movie World carpark. There's also quite a lot of surveying work continuing around the outskirts of the carpark, particularly where the larged fenced off topgolf/rollercoaster land is.

Speaking of, it should be on steam either today or tomorrow. If you want to buy now is your absolute last chance before release later this year. scratch that, steam keys have been distributed. Looks like you're out of time to buy Alpha.

Ill just leave this here

They certainly look like Fright Night maze walls to me.

Umm, good luck with that?! https://www.change.org/p/adventure-world-save-bounty-s-revenge/c

Has anyone checked out this small compact coaster called unimaginatively "Drifting Coaster". It certainly looks like a lot of fun and would certainly be a perfect installation option for our smaller parks- think both Luna Parks, Aussie World and Adventure World. It looks like quite a unique ride experience and it appears to have a good re-ride capability. Thoughts?

Yeah, lucky for us @DisneyDoll Togo are long out of business.

Wear something similar to what you would see people working in that department wearing.

Togo giga inverted stand-up pipeline coaster confirmed

@reanimated35 I made you a shirt My money is on @AlexB Existing TopGolf Fence in the USA

It's clearly parts for the wooden B&M fountain.

I don't know how enjoyable a flat roller coaster would be - it wouldn't roll, nor coast very well

@Theme Park Girl want to do an andrew and take a peak inside that container?
