Since we're on the topic of Sea World, I actually got engaged there on Saturday! I did it as part of the snorkeling experience and had a bunch of the staff helping me out. They were super helpful and organised most of the logistics for me (getting a sign in the water, having the ring delivered in the pool, etc). Here's a sneaky picture of when everything was going down and she caught on to what was happening. I'm happy to chuck the full story and my planning up on here if anyone is interested.

You clearly don’t have kids @themeparkaddict and hopefully you’ve got more between your ears before you do... a small kids flat ride is not installed to have a massive impact on your attendance. It’s to offer a further attraction to a key demographic in the park, a demographic that DW well and truly offers more for than MW. It’s focusing on its strengths, that is its family/young kids offering - that is smart business. to say a ride is a waste of money because the target demographic is under “parental authority” laughs in the face of the majority of Disneyland

Just FYI the target market is the parents of really little kids, not the kids themselves.

A Raptor coaster is not the biggest and the best and would never knock off Rivals. To add to this the wait times would be painful.

Dreamworld has already made it pretty clear that their intention, at least in the short to medium term, is not to compete with Movieworld on thrills and coasters. They are focusing on the family and experienced market. With Ardent’s long term involvement with DW far from certain, they won’t be dropping $40m+ on a coaster

They were installed on the Gold Coast least than 13 years ago, however they came from a park in Brazil that opened in 1996 so if they were installed in Brazil from opening they would be closer to 22 years old now.

Even with your broad marketing experience Ben, I doubt you will be able to help them out on this one.

That's awesome man! Congrats. Good on you.

Flynn wasn't accusing you of having someone else's opinion but was wanting to know why that's your opinion

@CaptainLazerGuns I'm glad my partner doesn't read this site. You make me look bad.

depends on whether you're in challenge or sandbox mode in RCT3,

I'll just leave this here.... Thoughts?

It is what it is. Do you want to ride or do you want it to be closed and bulldozed? because those are your only options.

It is NOT a good time for QLD theme parks right now
