The pricing could be supported if the product/experience was significantly improved but yes, fair comment. It amounts to the same thing really. The consumer does not want an average experience at an average price. The consumer wants awesome, magical experiences and is prepared to save up, omit to spend on other things, in order to pay for those experiences. There are thousands of case examples. Apple, Disney, Mercedez, Universal, blah blah blah. Why should Australia settle for average? There is a huge void here in quality currently. Quality also does not mean spending billions to achieve btw before people say the market cannot sustain big investments in Oz.

This is what's known as a "buying your way" into a market as distinct from "earning your way" into a market. I prefer the latter strategy. The latter strategy takes effort, balls, and drive. Discounting, how easy is that? It's like cost-cutting to drive short term profits. My 10-year-old could probably pull that strategy off.

Thanks heaps Iwerks. Very generous donation tonight to get me kick started. I actually spent Easter Monday evening volunteering with the Vinnies "Vannies" volunteers, making sure the homeless of Collingwood won't go hungry tonight. It was humbling and I was completely taken aback at how chipper and upbeat these unfortunate people were and how thankful, appreciative and polite, despite living in conditions most of us would think inconceivable. Even the smallest donations add up. Thank you.

You know Google has a search function, yeah? I ask because in the time it took you to write something witty you could've just used your initiative to figure out why doxxing other people is frowned upon. Let's keep it on-topic.

I'm not at all surprised by this. How long was Draculas open? Cetainly over a decade at least. There's a lesson in this for other tourism businesses (theme parks included). If visitor numbers are dropping, but the attraction has been proven a success for many years (which Draculas owners said on Facebook was the case prior to its closure), the answer may be to invest in the business, not replace it with something that may not prove to be as successful as what was already there! The haunted house could have continued to be successful, and attracted many more visitors for decades to come, if the owners had just invested in new technology and refreshed it from time to time! There's all sorts they could have done. Basically though it was an awesome attraction, and it's very sad to see it go (the haunted house, not the stupid place where you could pay to use your own phone to take photos of yourself in front of pathetic cutouts)! The Trickpic Facebook page has a post as recent as late March, so it must have closed very recently. However the Facebook page gives no indication it has closed!

Tokyo's teamlab exhibit (which is often sold out): Gold Coast's TrickPic: TLDR; pretty easy to see why it tanked. It looked shit.

The numbers are a bit skewered.

You call it a discount @Mark Shaw. I call it a pricing correction and the prices are still too high.

They aren’t. This deal has been done before and now that cosentino is gone, sv isn’t open and wipeouts gone it’s neccesary.

Never heard of them which I guess could be another issue aside from the aforementioned cost.

So credit to PCL for reporting this information first but it appears‘TrickPic’ closed its doors really without any notice. I did searching up as there’s no acknowledgement by the company stating it’s closed but turns out, If you search it up now on Google it states the attraction is now closed permanently I went there back in December with a few of my family members of last year and I thought it was okay but definitely not worth the price of admission and probably wouldn’t return Shame to see it not last long but hopefully something a lot more better than a photo studio takes it’s place

Cosentino has announced on FB that 22,798 was the total attendance over the 32 shows so a tad over 700 per show on average. Fantastic turnout and I think DW management do deserve some kudos for making it happen. I hope they continue to introduce external entertainment opportunities to the park that encourage people who generally may not have attended to come along and give the park another shot.

So why does DW need to go even cheaper on their passes?
