This park , or rather the management of it are so far beyond a joke it's not funny.

.. for such a smart arse he clearly knows fuck all about what WDW has to offer, given the trouble gone to - and just to get on 1 mediocre ride? Tossa.. How about pulling those wires out your ears for 5 seconds and maybe listen to that great big beautiful world around you?

I understand the problems you're having @Theosie "but" yes I have a but. You can't expect MW to cater for every dietary requirement that a person may or may not have. That’s why MW say if you have a dietary requirement you can bring your own food. Sit back and enjoy skeet’s example time: My daughter is allergic to peanuts. To the point if somebody who’s handled peanuts hours before they rode Road Runner Roller Coaster and my daughter rode afterwards, it would end up with me administrating her with an EpiPen injection and a ride in the back of an ambulance. What does MW do to protect my child and themselves from my child having a reaction from entering the park. They tell me if my child has allergies to bring my own food because MW can’t guarantee to me that somewhere along the line the food hasn’t come into contact with peanuts. For MW to cater for daughter’s dietary requirement MW would have to remove all other food from the park. “All other food, Skeeta gone mad again” probably but the next time you go to the shop read the allergy label on the product and 90% of products say may contain peanuts or may have come in contact with peanuts. 88% of the time there is no chance that product would contain traces of peanuts, but they say it to protect themselves. I’m sorry the plain bread roll can’t be on the menu. My daughter can’t eat a bread roll made from a bakery because bakeries handle peanuts in some of their products can cross contaminant the bread roll. There is so many different dietary requirements that MW could never cater for everyone.

Why did Tofu ride Rivals? To prove he wasn’t a chicken.

This Scooby shop closed things is pretty damn piss poor. Exit past the closed roller door and out a fire exit hardly aligns with promises we heard of outlets being open longer and always does it...

It had been a very long time since I had visited Aussie World (20+ years!) so I decided to check out their Ride the Night event last night. In the way of rides, I knew it couldn’t compete with anything on the GC, but there were a couple of good attractions on offer. Gates opened at 5:45pm and I took that opportunity to walk around the park until the rides started at 6pm. I was surprised at how colourful the park was. Yes I’d seen their advertising and web-site but the park looked - and felt - really fresh and vibrant. It also still had some of that ‘carnival/funfair’ feel as there was different music playing at every turn - though the fact there was a local radio station set up there for the night might also have something to do with it. From 6pm I took on the Redback, Bug Run (counts as a coaster right?), Mayhem Maze, Space Shaker, The Wasp, Voyage Simulator, Mozzie Musta and Professor Bogglesworth’s Illusionarium. Dark Rebel and Ballroom Blitz were closed and they had to close The Plunge as it stopped while going up the lift hill and they had to evacuate the riders off of it. The Ferris Wheel ended up closing early too because of the storm. The staff all came across friendly and laid-back - although the ride operators seemed very young. There was some live entertainment during the night - a dj, dancing, fire twirling, plus fireworks at 9pm. There were a couple of staff members roving the park offering glow-in-the-dark body paint as well as one covered in glow-in-the-dark wrist bands that he gave out to guests during the night. Highlights of the night for me were the Illusionarium as well as the Mayhem Maze. The only way I can describe the Illusionarium is a maze of optical illusions and it was really good and a decent length. The Mayhem Maze was also surprisingly good in that the actors gave good frights!! If it was longer, it could give anything at MW’s Fright Nights a run for its money (IMO). Overall, what the park delivered on the night (and for a mere $25.50) it smashed my expectations. Not a park I could spend a lot of time in but perhaps that will change with what Aussie World has in plan for its future.
