I've got about 1000 Ardent Shares at about what it's trading for now, figured that the new ride late next year will do a lot in bringing the place back. While I'm glad to be back on level pegging I was a bee's dick away from buying more at 90cents but it shot up before got down that far. Explains the mystery gains of the last week because no doubt word got out. Bugger, missed making a lazy $300 by a week and 1 or 2 cents. Don't think I'll be buying any more at $1.20, although I'm sure who ever bought in intends to make money at that price. Last I saw, Gary is in at $1.24 so that's 2 rich people who think they can make money here. It's also possible that someone has worked out that buying all of Ardent is cheaper than buying DW. As you can tell I have nothing insightful or interesting to add but am interested in the topic.

For those that wonder why many structures got knocked down Including The lazy river fountain, Scooby Doo Spooky coaster queue castle, Rocky Hollow log ride cave etc. It did not comply with the National Construction Code / Building Code of Australia as they changed the fire FRLS. this was not village roadshows or ardents decision.

@Skeeta $3.00 won't get me to Disney, but I reckon it would get me a deluxe caravan at the Grafton Holiday Park.

Ardent Leisure Group was fast out of the gates on Tuesday morning, after a buyer paid a 20 per cent premium to snap up a 4 per cent stake in the company. The Ardent Leisure share price is one of the top performers today, it’s up 16%. Why Is The Ardent Share Price Jumping? According to reporting by the Australian Financial Review, a large investor has bought 4% of the company at a price 20% higher than where the shares were previously trading. The trade at $1.20 per share supposedly was handled by UBS and was worth a total of almost $23 million shares. Who knows why the trade was done at such a large price? Perhaps the buyer will soon be launching a takeover bid? Or maybe an investor simply wanted a piece of Ardent Leisure this week no matter how much it had to pay. At this higher price I don’t think the Ardent Leisure share price is a buy, but it will be interesting to see if anything happens with this mystery buyer. A potential takeover or positive news in the near future could explain why such a large trade was done, however the circumstances remain unclear.

OR You could sleep in your car and jump the fence, then you can go to the Grafton Aquatic Centre. The Water slide at Grafton Aquatic Centre is a huge attraction for families throughout the valley as well as visitors from afar. On the weekends and school holidays there are 2 slide sessions per day. Session times are 11am-12.30pm and 2pm-4pm. Cost for the slide is $3.00/day/person, entry not included.

The new NCC 2019 had nothing to do with SV delays. I'll put in context. Imagine you’re building a house and you get the building approvals and the builder builds the house. Sometime from the start of the building process and until you get a final inspection a new NCC comes out. Say the new NCC requires 4mm glass instead of the 3mm glass that was approved to be installed when you received your building approvals. Does anybody believe they would tell you to replace every window in your house? The answer is no and that’s because the NCC isn’t retrospective. The day the plans are approved is stuck for ever.((98% of the time)) Up to the current NCC a new NCC came out every year since 1998 right up to 2016. It’s crazy talk to believe or think that the NCC requires every building ever built to comply to every new change. Here’s the but. BUT The Queensland Government has the power to overwrite the NCC. (more or less) and the power to add to it. The last version of the NCC was 2016 The GrenFell Tower fire happened in 2017. The new version is NCC 2019 from the 1st of May. The theme parks removed the items before the new version of the NCC came out. After the fire and it was apparent there was a problem the Queensland Government did an audit on all of its buildings. After the QLD Government realised how widespread the problem was the QLD Gov legislated that all private/public structures go through a 3-stage review on cladding items that might be a fire risk. If the states waited for the NCC to do their own changes to the building code, then it would’ve only been done a few months ago. In a matter of fact, by QLD law, the unsafe cladding doesn’t have to be replaced unto May 2021. While state authorities grappled with problematic cladding, some property developers and owners took pre-emptive action to replace the cladding that they know, or suspect, falls foul of the new standards. I'm not going to say anymore on the matter because I'm putting myself to sleep.

More action on site. Some deliveries come in also nothing major by the looks tho And to agree with Alex B the ride pad was extended about 3m into the ski lake nothing was extended into the dolphin lagoon

Well WWW are getting 6 new slides. Might just be one attraction, but that has 6 slides within it

Why not (mach) 5?

I used to go there often when I was younger living in Canberra. A very nice little place and i'm glad to see it improving.

Wet N Wild is looking pretty sad these days. Definitely needs two major new Attractions.

Yeah, I heard it was nuts!

well, that's a fair argument i guess.... lol.

Just a few images from Happy Halloween!
