Are the tiger cubs X rated or something?

6/8/19 update Both whales have been removed and they aren’t taken any care with their removal (not saying they should, but watching them do it it’s quite brutal)

S4 E6 had one on Roller Coasters, https://iview.abc.net.au/show/hard-quiz But the kid got some obvious ones wrong he shouldn't have.

Sea World Secondary College Hall.

Quick SW general update The annoying people are gone for good at SW too They have gotten rid of the A frame and installed additional signage The A frame is now being used for this And here is the shittest part of SW

Super Tubes Hydro Coaster had a coat of paint before Greg Yong was in so probably not his decision.

Caribbean Gardens in Scoresby, Victoria has a pretty old chairlift! Still in operation I believe. Was relocated from the Whistle Stop park near Frankston about 50 years ago!

It doesn't even have to be concrete. The number of master plans i've seen Jamberoo generate in the past 15 years - very little today looks like it did in the master plan 15 years ago. It is allowed to change, to evolve, just stop plonking things 'wherever there's space' and actually plan things out ahead of time.

Was pulled out in 2009. https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/national/queensland/last-rides-for-ekkas-iconic-chairlift-20090803-e79s.html

You know me too well. A Lazy River is a must for WhiteWater World's future, but not the over the top one with animals and other junk that Dreamworld were planning. Rather, the best thing for a lazy river is to keep it simple with well landscaped shaded spaces and BBQ's. Because if the aim of the game is to get season pass holders to make repeat visits (which it is) then combining really pleasant capacity sucking attractions with facilities that keep people in park for longer in an environment that guests desire visiting, then you've got a real basic recipe for success. Dreamworld seems to really be on the up and up. I'm not sad about the amphitheatre being crushed, John Longhurst remarked that it was his biggest mistake about the park and it's better gone at this point than left to rot. What I do hope is that when we start to hear announcements about new attractions and masterplans etc. etc. in the coming months/years is that everything's done with a sense of holistic consideration to the greater picture and not just out of necessity to deliver something as soon as possible because Village is doing XYZ in the same time period. Dreamworld doesn't need Trolls, Cars, Zombies and a Convention Centre inside a beach themed area, nor does it need more modern facades like Sky Voyager's succeeding what were beautiful Disney facsimile facades in a turn of the century themed area. Same goes for MotoCoaster in Rivertown, same went for an oil rig (Giant Drop) in Rocky Hollow, etc. etc. etc. etc. Everyone wants Longhurst's Dreamworld. The steam trains, the exciting attractions, the attention to detail, all done with an Australian spirit and passion.

TBH I would be surprised if there are any new plans for Chairlifts (the ski lift type like AW/Arthur's Seat.) due to potential safety issues surrounding being able to restrain daft Rider's. Gondolas/Skyways on the other hand feel like a safer experience and possibly easier to introduce in our Modern Day Australian Theme Parks. Personally, the old fashioned Chair Lifts scare the shit out of me and for that reason I absolutely adore the experience. Rode one in Rotorua recently and there's something about sitting on (basically) a plank, unrestrained, feet dangling and basically 100 foot drop directly below you...yikes! I sincerely hope we one-day see a Skyway return to gracing the Skies above Sea World. Even with all the new Atlantis additions, this Park still needs something like this, for sure.

The creatures are starting to be removed (Photo TPSN) Definitely not the most flattering angle

Fixed it...?

Mmmmm....saucy!!!!!!!!
