I don't know if DW were making record profits 🤷‍♀️ but from the outside, it looked like DW's profits were being spent, on growing Main Event.

You would fill in the hole with fill and add a topping slab. There would be no reason to remove the footings of the ride. The Wipeout footings and Wipeout pool still remain underground. The rapid ride remains underground, below ST.

@Guest 239or too expensive to maintain, is another reason why they get taken away. The slow death of an attraction theming, because the park stops spending on the upkeep. As soon as a park goes into a period where guest numbers dry up and clash flow slows, it's the first item the parks stop spending money on. It's a dead give away of a parks financial state of play, when you see failing theming.

I'm glad my ticket turned into a $10.00 donation to DW and I decided not to go. Being in that weather at a theme park, is not my idea of fun.

Don't sweat it @Ashthere is more stuff on the way for the temple.

This is correct which makes me sceptical, if the ride is coming down.

Is it removal or are they trying to fix it?

Buckle up buttercup, 2025 is going to be a long year.

@Brad2912doesn't care what banks say.

Afterpay becomes a debt the second you owe Afterpay money. Owing Telstra $1400.00 for a phone is a debt. The moment you put your theme park tickets on Afterpay you are in debt to Afterpay to pay that money back. AI tells us. Debt is when one party, the debtor (@Brad2912), owes money to another party (Afterpay), the creditor.

@Brad2912It's debt. When you apply for a homeloan banks take the view people who use Afterpay can't manage money and it can go against you getting a loan. Some banks have been known to ask you to close your Afterpay account before they will issue a loan. Afterpay even has a whole Q&A on how to shutdown Afterpay when asked to by your bank.

The responsible management of cash flow is, don't spend more than your pay packet. 🤷‍♀️ Don't care if you're using Afterpay, none of my business, but you're lying to yourself if you believe it's a responsible way of managing cash flow.

I believe DW have other ideas.

@DaptoFunlandGuystop direct messaging me. I gave you the opportunity to say your kind words to my face, but you wouldn't have a bar of it.

I hope you're not wasting your time by replying to me. 🤷‍♀️

On the contrary, it is DW taking the theme park enthusiast, who want a Lazy River out of context, no theme park enthusiast wants a barren concrete Lazy River. WnW: by all reports, about to install new slides. WWW: 🦗 If your using Afterpay for anything, you're living above your means.

DW management have previously said they are not looking at building a Lazy River because blah, blah, blah, DW likes to have unique experiences, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, something like that. Imagine WWW not having a wave pool because down the road had one and you only wanted to install unique experiences. I say: Sometimes experiences are good enough to do your own take on them, even if the enemy have one. What slide is better than a Lazy River that caters for the whole family?

Also has a staple Lazy River.

I agree, a price increase is overdue for DW.

A bit hard to have a EOFY sale for WWW when WWW will be closed.

Do you have a reason @Ash? I always knew Rivertown would come with a gate price increase, but I don't know why WWW should get one.
