Supports and slide pieces are currently being installed for the new slide tower, crane has been on site all week.

Thanks for the (important!) correction! And agree - great fit.

If that is the reason, then it's stupid, and i'm siding with Dean Barnett. Seatbelts have been mandatory in Australia since 1972 so people shouldn't be having too many difficulties with them. Operators check seatbelts prior to dispatch, so an unsecured seatbelt would be identified, and the train quickly reset, and restraints re-checked. The amount of time this takes, on the rare occasion that someone is incapable of operating a seatbelt would be far less than the additional time it adds to every dispatch for an operator to do it up for each and every rider. Then again airlines still have to show people how to operate seatbelts, so maybe there are too many lowest common denominators at our parks these days.

I assume NatGeo is in sponsorship for the exhibits. its a good partnership and makes sense. Might even contribute a little more to the park's bottom line and opex. TBH i'm surprised more attractions don't carry sponsorship - many overseas parks do. "Presented by Pepsi" and so on.

Let’s hope they finally fixed the waterfall above the crocs and in the cassowary enclosure to coincide with this launch… although I’m not expecting it. I also saw pictures of new glass/perspex viewing windows being installed between the cassowary and Roos enclosure, are these works complete and do we know what animal this was for? Very keen to see if this is just a reopening of the theatre, and a few signs rebranded or if a little more effort has been put in…

No it didn’t. It closed because the Gold Coast City Council is turning the track into a tip. They didn’t renew the lease.
