“We’re millionaires who got lucky once, but we also are really smart and make great decisions, except for when we don’t ’cause we have flaws as we’re human just like you. [River Rapids mention]. New company bought most of us, but we’re friends & it’s okay (apart from our cinemas, those suck lol. Also, if we don’t make money in the next 3-5 years, we’re kinda screwed. But that’s fiiiiiiiiine, cause we’re friends!). Anyway, $50m Ghost of New Atlantis Past, $100m Ghost of WoO Present, $??? Ghost of Hotels Future. Also, I have children, as a byproduct of being human, just like you.” Snippet about hotels:

i went tonight and i really think Sea World should get a new event that suits the park a lot more then Carnivale does and send the event back to MovieWorld. the food options are very meh and cheap as they are either seen at other parks or very clearly thrown together using products from the permanent outlets (besides stuff like chargrilled corn.) Vortex was also shut for the night with the ride and queue closing around 5:30, so they’ve got one out of three of the rides in the New Atlantis open while they used the area as a marketing point until recently. i’m glad Leviathan was on two trains with good operations, the train no longer sits their waiting for the video to be done and it now just plays while you board. with the event only being open from 5:30-8:30 with ticket prices being $69 there is no where near enough time to do everything unless you want to just stay on the rides all night. the light show is really good but, it’s been the same for years. it feels like Village don’t have the effort to change it up so they just reuse the same event over and over again. its a good concept but they need to pour some money into the event and make it something worth $69pp for again. i agree with @aaronm that it just feels stale now.

Exactly why I'm sick of Village and their bullshit. I haven't had a good experience at One of their parks in ages unless its completely empty. its why I cancelled my annual pass and go to Dreamworld where I actually enjoy myself

I think the issue is Showtime. They are a bunch of revheads, and as such everything they do seems to revolve around that.

I really don't understand why they wouldn't bring it back. It links the resort and the rest of the park nicely, it's a good ride to get a scenic view of the park. They could maybe add another station around New Atlantis and that would bring the whole thing together as a brilliant transport ride. It's sad to see it in this state but the fact that it's still there gives me hope that they've got plans.

Yikes... the whole watch breaking thing seems like total BS that it happened. If that had been me as the staff member I would have been more than happy to put it in the basket that glasses etc go in. A watch is normally worn on a wrist, so the fact that it broke is NOT the guests fault at all. Sadly seems like the operator was either on a power trip or having a very bad day. Sadly it's becoming more and more frequent from what I have heard from friends who have visited the properties in the last few months. I really do hope management reads these sort of things and takes a long hard look about what its doing to their brand before it's too late...
