Probably could have been posted in off-topic or random threads - didn't really need it's own (although I do appreciate the opportunity for train humor)... the only reason the thread has gotten this many replies is because the very "silly" nature of it.

First I'd feel denial, then anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. How would you feel if they put the hotdog stand outside road runner?

bigger problems exist in the world than this.

Personally, I think WnW never looked better than out of a bus window in 1988

Shareholder meeting. They're keen to sell.

Constructive criticism!

Eh? I was simply stating that I found that particular aspect of that particular visit unsatisfactory. I love Dreamworld, but would you be impressed if you went to a theatre, bought a ticket, and sat down to hear the audio but see nothing on the stage? I know Dreamworld management do check this forum regularly. I guess I'm hoping someone will see my comment and do something to ensure the situation doesn't happen again (which isn't hard). ............................and...............relaaaaaax!!!

So why make this its own topic then?. People make mistakes. It wouldn't be like DW is trying to personally annoy you. Although you might think that.

At first I'd feel repulsion, then disgust. After a while I'd feel bewilderment, then blandness, and finally confusion.

and we can now resume normal broadcasting again.

Scaffolding is currently up the side of the Green Room, with workmen doing stuff to the outside of the funnel

The good old autocorrect excuse! I sent my missus a msg yesterday that said “I love and appreciate you” and somehow my iPhone autocorrected it to “make me a sandwich” before I realised and hit send... f**king weird...

This. With every other property on the coast getting some love in one form or another (including Paradise Country), Wet N Wild Gold Coast is the elephant in the room that everyone at VRTP is hoping so desperately that we'll just ignore. The park is literally littered with failed previous attempts at investment - Mach 5 tower still stands rusting. WnW Buggy is abandoned (at least the beach volleyball court looked like it was available to use if you came prepared) The Flying Fox sticks out like a sore thumb Whirlpool Springs is a shadow of what it once was - no reason was ever given by the park for keeping it in Winter mode year-round. Black Hole - assuming a similar age to Mach 5 and Sidewinders continues without a shade sail, indicative that it's been abandoned, and will likely succumb as soon as it is deemed too expensive to continue running. Even Dive In Movies - the screen still sits atop the wave pool, gently rusting away. This would be something that could be reinstated very quickly with the acquisition of a new projector... or better yet with the modern technology for daylight LED screens, perhaps they could install a big screen they could use during the day as well - and show an afternoon \ early evening dive in movie before the usual sunset timeslot, meaning the park could open longer in summer, but not as long as they used to? Start the screening at 4:30pm, so the film is done by 6:30 for those with little kids, with the park closed by 7? WhiteWater Mountain and Constrictor sit atop an old tower (that reeks of piss) at the top of a hill whose path is too steep to walk, and divided between the two attractions, which should have been overhauled when constrictor was built. There is so much land in the Extreme H2O zone that it's such a missed opportunity to build an entirely new 'precinct' out there with the latest and greatest technology. its a blank canvas, and yet, we continue to pretend Wet N Wild doesn't exist. Everyone laughed at Dreamworld announcing a new 'shaded seating area' - but wet n wild has so much shaded seating - some with a cost (cabanas everywhere) and others not (marquees with picnic tables and BBQ facilities). There are so many of them the park has actually removed some marquees that simply don't get used, leaving a concrete slab filled with picnic tables out in the sun. Whoops. this didn't start out as a rant, but god dammit I wish they'd do something with this park, and after this many years of neglect - a single slide isn't going to cut it - they need a whole new area with several slides, and they need it now.
