  2. Found the article elsewhere... A highly intoxicated woman 'exposed herself' and refused to leave a pub before she attacked a female police officer and branded her a 'lesbian cyborg'. Priscilla Marie Butler, 36, faced Caloundra Magistrates Court in relation to the explicit outburst which occurred at the Aussie World pub, on the Sunshine Coast, in front of families and young children in April. Police were called to the incident at the amusement park brewery after Ms Butler stripped off and subsequently 'turned on' a security guard, punching him multiple times in the head, after he attempted to remove her from the premises. As a result of Ms Butler's attack the male security guard is believed to have suffered 'pain and discomfort', The Courier Mailreported. When officers arrived at the scene Ms Butler allegedly had her pants down and was 'abusing anyone' who was near to her, Police prosecutor Senior Constable Amanda Brewer said. Ms Butler allegedly then turned her attention towards one female officer and branded her a 'lesbian cyborg' after telling her 'you can get f*****'. She is also alleged to have bashed the policewoman in the chest. Magistrate Haydn Stjernqvist said Ms Butler was 'lucky' the injuries sustained had been 'minor'. 'It's not rare people in your position go to jail... lucky the injuries were minor,' Magistrate Stjernqvist said. Ms Butler's defence lawyer Ben Rynderman said his client had been 'manhandled' by police officers. Although he noted he was not 'attempting' to excuse' her behaviour but to give 'context' to the situation. Mr Rynderman also stated his client usually demonstrated an 'exceptional character' but had been 'adversely affected' by alcohol. According to Mr Rynderman, Ms Butler had unsuccessfully tried to reach out to the police officer to apologise because she was ashamed of her actions. Character references for Ms Butler, who works at BWS and as a carer, also described her as a 'warmhearted' person. Ms Butler was sentenced to 40 hours community service and was handed a fine of $1800.

  4. Don't bring me into this. I knew it was a joke. I knew what you were referring to. It didn't deserve a fountain, but I couldn't bring myself to 'like' it. I didn't think 'sad' or 'haha' really worked so i went with confused. In retrospect, HAHA was probably the right answer. live and learn.

  6. Adventure World is an interesting topic when regarding it as a theme park or not. I’m not denying that adventure could improve it’s theming however some arguments against it being one doesn’t have a straight yes or no answer. Such as the critic of lack of themed lands. Adventure World has included elements multiple times over the past few years to incorporate themed lands. The first of which being Dragon’s Kingdom which brought cohesive theming to the area and transformed the colour scheme from bright and off putting colours to ones more natural allowing it to bend better into the garden strengthening it’s theme. And this is while most (but not all) parks in the country haven’t updated their children’s area at all, or attempted to blend the barrier between the theming of the rides and the land they are kept in. Adventure World has also gone to the trouble of renaming multiple rides over the years as the stepping stone of full land integration. The area known as Nautica (Kraken, Sea Serpents, Tidal Wave, Wahoo Speed Slides and Buccaneer Battle) after the introduction of the Kraken have had it’s ride’s renamed, had consistent themed elements spread throughout the land (barrels, row boats and signage) in an attempt to homogenise the theming of the land. This being said money can be spent to further improve the theming in this Area which is something I believe AW would be interested in the future however their priority would likely being funding of the MI series of attractions. There is also Water Mountain which was entirely re-themed to the Wild West and of course Thrill. Yes there is some arguments against AW’s Thrill Area. Yes the paving doesn’t match (Goliath’s different paving was introduced to be a cooler surface since many people are bare footed at AW since it also contains water rides) however there is similar darker ride colour schemes, almost identical sounding ride announcements and ‘scarier’ theming contrasted with the rest of the park. This is aided by the ‘woods’ like trees in the backdrop and on the lead up to inferno to help build a more dreary atmosphere. Yes Adventure World is far from spending 100 million on theming like Disney parks however the continued improvements is what is important, when was the last time other theme parks in Australia attempted to homogenise older lands to have more consistent theming (only referring to revisiting not entirely new lands) most other parks as time progress lose the consistent theming within the land whilst adventure world has improved it. In my opinion that makes it a theme park.

  7. If you think Dreamworld is a fairground, unfortuantely you are being delusional.

  8. Was just at the Broadwater, and I could see a crane within the SW, which appeared to be around the location of the works at COTD

  9. @themagician Why you would want to spend $11 000 on a Luna Ghost is beyond me. You can get a Chair O Plane for $8500 You can get a Flying Dragon for $14500 You can get a Water Boat Ride for $8000. Set one of these beauties up in your backyard and you will never have a need to go to a Theme Park again.
