@Rollercoaster_Lover , this is obviously you because you are the only person who spells Green Lantern as Greenlauntern

Nice promo/Ad for DCR during state of origin - intro from the presenter and then played the full trailer with all the characters etc.

OK so they had a ride which they knew had an issue that was dangerous, didn't communicate that danger to staff, knew what modifications to make to solve it but didn't do them, removed an alarm which may have given the ops staff a chance to abort the disaster, and didn't train tech services properly. They also lied to the coroner, stopped spending on maintenance, and appeared to have deficient processes in place. That's basically the story yeah? I mean what are you even supposed to say to that? Dreamworld is the only theme park in the world that would actually benefit from an advertising campaign that goes 'Our old maintenance manager, ops manager, CEO and Chairperson of the board are in jail now, it's safe to come back' What's scary about it is the people who modified TRR are the same people who are still looking after things out there. The same people who looked after the TRR also put the cages on the log ride.

Oh, my young Padawan you have ruled out Galaxy's Edge opening at Disney next year. The 501st Legion's Mr Lochowicz said the 2018 event was likely to be the final Stormtroopers Weekend at Dreamworld due to overseas licencing associated with the franchise and the 501st Garrison’s charity work. Even a charity group like 501st Legion' requires the Disney nod. 501st Legion spokesman, Adam Lochowicz, said the Dreamworld event had a reputation as the largest Stormtrooper gathering in the Southern Hemisphere, with the Legion consisting of people from across the globe. With success cometh Disney's hammer.

I’m not sure if you are serious or not. You of all people should know that the steam engines were in good condition when they were retired. Not only that but the engines were maintained by a dedicated crew devoted to those engines, and I very much doubt they would have signed off on them every day had they not felt they were safe, after all their lives were at risk.

Hey Everyone, thanks for the feedback so far. I've just finished re-working the itinerary to remove Magic Springs & Lake Winnie and include Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Sea World San Antonio instead - to do this I've had to pop a flight in the middle but I think it will be well worth it in the end!

Okay everyone, so this week I am attending the Dreamworld Inquest and taking notes from within the courtroom. These notes are purely just me writing what is said and doesn't include any personal opinions or bias. This also includes information that wasn't necessarily posted by the media as they generally pick one focus point per day and only talk about that. I was posting these notes to a group of people throughout the day as it happened and it was requested that I combine all the notes from today into one document and post it here. I'm posting it as a viewable google document as I'd rather not post my 5 page summary of today directly into the forums. Some of the notes may seem like it's out of order or a bit out of nowhere but the whole document is in chronological order as it was discussed As I will be there all week and it's been requested that I post the updates on here, I would like to put it out to you guys, would you prefer a summary at the end of each day or would you prefer I post the live updates directly into here as they happen? The live updates will be a bit hurried and most likely very frequent (with potential grammatical errors) so it could still spam the thread. I also wont be able to reply to anyone for any questions or clarifications until I've made it home for the day, as information comes fast and heavy with this inquest. Anyway, here is the link the today's notable findings. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dXKLUHzy_glOlVLMwN0pXghXpJQxODat18LZvsNTAlg/edit?usp=sharing

Im gonna be honest, This isnt looking good for Dreamworld. Im starting to think they wont recover from this..

Got to be kidding. They literally have nowhere to hide. If they fired someone for a safety breech, evidently water levels are a very serious issue. If that wasnt drummed into their staff following dismissal of the employee, they need a huge kick up the arse. I was willing to give everyone the benefit of doubt and not point any blame at people, but it looks like both operations and maintenance department supervisors/heads/leaders have a lot to answer for. Its starting to look like their employees might even have a case to take the company to court for failing to provide adequate training and a safe working environment. Keeping everyone in the dark, withholding information, shit like that is the worst kind of micromanaging. It robs all employees the chance to learn from past mistakes and fails to acknowledge or address any issues that might save the company from repeating those same mistakes again. I literally cannot understand why you wouldnt use past incidences as a learning tool. Aside from it giving you a chance to update the control systems to close any loop holes in safety; You have everything at your disposal for personel training. A real incident to examine, the people, the ride it happened on. You could literally walk newly trained operators through and explain not only the events and proceedures to make sure that never happens again, but also drive home the importance of the safety aspect, right while they are standing there. It's just incredible.

Six Flags Over Texas but not Fiesta Texas? Bit crazy if you ask me!
