No they shouldn't - I went in the evening. It's natural that the park would die off around then. I've already explained this to others - they might not be losing money. Remember that less than half the thrill rides are open and they're not spending the money operating those and paying staff wages for attendants on those rides (tower of terror in particular because of the huge amount of power the park uses when running that) and as more rides open more people will come to the park. It's all one big cause-effect situation. Honestly I don't even see the point of reasoning with you any more. It's about time I do this:

There is no major consequences, they haven't broken a law. The worst repercussion would be expulsion from the park, but the person has already left... a banning from future attendance would be overkill..

Invisibility cloak and elder wand. Wizarding World of Harry Potter confirmed to be replacing Gold Rush! Resurrection stone left out, out of respect. Believe it, my sister's girlfriend works at Target. Also, I don't have a sister.

Cameras are allowed on Scooby though, why would there be any consequences? MW always asks for private details to discuss complaints, nothing out of the ordinary.

Thats a perfectly well reasoned explanation Santa. I don't think anyone could have said it better - its a valid point, and totally shuts down any counter argument for the park to be doing poorly.

but...but than how will you DV him?

I'm disappointed at the loss of the old mouse. It definitely should have stayed. For whatever reason, the park decided it had to go, so it did. That part we can all agree on, i'm certain. As for the rumored spinner, if its the same as the traveller that runs the east coast (i think it had pink track?) then I don't think it's that bad - i've enjoyed many a ride on it whilst working shows at various times, so I can see it being popular at AW. On the positives, return visitors (non-enthusiasts) will see this as an upgrade - similar track layout (ie: both "mouse" variants), whilst able to seat more people, and to spin. New visitors to the park obviously won't know what they're missing... so the only people upset at this (as mentioned at the top of my reply) are going to be the enthusiasts who know what's missing. Sure, if its what we think it is, it is a poor replacement to the old mouse, but if it had to go, we could have had worse replacements, or worse - no replacements.

The only way I see rail working is for a completely separate line being attached to an existing station - See Hong Kong Disneyland for example. Build the line, buy two trains, have them run opposite each other with a short passing loop\siding at the halfway mark allowing them to cross paths. They don't impact on the rest of the network at all. But, as has been pointed out, the road area along the spit is tight in some places, and even getting a single line through there would be difficult. Elevated track works perfectly because you can drop a pylon almost anywhere without impacting much - hence why monorail works well. I get why monorail wouldn't be viewed favourably by many, but it is the best option in the circumstances. As for not being utilised in the middle of the day (i know that discussion has been pretty much had) those saying the spit is utilised throughout the day are correct. There are shopping venues there, plenty of hotels, dining and entertainment, beaches, plenty of people go fishing up near the seaway, or just a picnic - and again what is being overlooked is when the casino and hotels are built there will be many more reasons to visit the spit. Getting some sort of mass transit option to the spit is a necessity. THe party atmosphere (and those under the influence) should have an option so as not to drive.

They won't rip up the GC highway? Then how did the first bit get built I Certainly think we will se the tram get to OOL, or at least to Burleigh heads in the medium term. The tram is ultimately going to be the more useful thing because it links travellers with the coastal strip.

I'd say it was opinion rather than sourced info, but to be honest, it's very well reasoned. Distancing themselves from that incident is necessary. The mountain will have to go and is no more iconic than the Sturt paddler. No amount of money right now is too much to give that area an entirely fresh start.

@westical that is a valid question, but I think it was @Levithian who suggested it could be waiting on parts, or it could be parts already received that are now being tested \ not living up to required standards. This would explain regular testing, as i'm sure they would be keen to get it online as soon as possible. Better to throw out a date well into the future, and then open early, than to keep pushing the date back every few weeks #ohwait...

If this is true, all I have to say is finally

they just put that there to keep andrewh from taking photos of himself next to the back door.

Today's update. I could see a number of things through the windows inside the store, and there are three big yellow blocks hanging from the ceiling

You forgot: Superman escape refurbishment (Repaint) WWF refurbishment Tiger Cub Kindy

It was getting on in weeks.

Random question, what does the Z stand for in BZ?

I know Slick already called this out as being made up, but I do love when stuff gets proved wrong quickly.

Not sure if already mentioned but all rides surrounding gold rush country are closed at the moment due to respect wich includes TOT2, GD, Rocky hollow and BZ. It is confirmed that Rocky hollow Log Ride WILL re open to the public. I hope that helps

omgosh that's terrible poor DW. Hope it doesn't go broke but if it doesn't pick it up it's heading to brokesville fast.

Rides are walk ons when they should have massive queues as this is the busiest time of the year for them. I wonder how much they're losing daily...
