@TV15 It really comes down to this: unless you live in a cave and leave the smallest possible footprint on the planet, it's hypocritical to demand that DW never develop any of its land because it contains bushland. Every suburb, shopping centre and industrial estate exists because bushland was cleared at some point. Funny how everyone wants more koala habitat, as long as it's someone else's land. If they're that worried, bulldoze their own house and plant a gum tree. Some of the same people will also constantly tell you coal is evil and happily fill their homes with cheap stuff made in China, much of it manufactured using Australian coal. Apparently coal is only a problem when it's here. The outrage is selective, the logic is inconsistent, and the hypocrisy is hard to miss.

It was quite the discussion on Parkz back in 2022. Essentially, Dreamworld under its prior leadership had obtained a grant which was provided by government on the basis that dreamworld was intending to build a koala research centre \ advanced eco-science facility - It was called Future Lab when it was announced in 2019. Then COVID came along and businesses were focussed more on survival than eco tourism. The park pivoted and finally recognised that a koala facility wasn't going to help with their recovery, but a shiny new rollercoaster would. In 2022, while we were still within the late-stages of COVID recovery, the park sought permission from the government to reallocate the grant funds from building Future Lab to assist them in the costs to build Steel Taipan. The government approved this, so they did. What the greenies didn't get is DWF does a lot for wildlife education and conservation, and going out of business entirely tends to put an end to that good work.

We've heard this before, throwback to the 2022 Wild West Adventure Falls Maintenance Blog. From 2022 to 2026 what improvements were made... minimal. The only addition I can think of is the red lights on the final lift, however more things ended up not working at all. I'm optimistic, but they dont have the best track record.

Ocean parade has always been a mish mash of random crap. Nothing cohesive about that area at all apart from "it's blue and water". King claw on one end, repainted ancient Chinese facades on the other, and aeroplanes elsewhere. Not far removed from a time where it had zombies, wipeout, and v8 supercars
