I read it. Don't agree with it. Dapto is averaging out the attendance over the year which is 👎 .Dapto is happy to average out DW but not WWW. CEH only made a net profit last year of 2.61m which included the insurance payout for rebuilding the vintage cars which DW never did because DW was already replacing the vintage cars with Murrissippi Motors.

and DW still wouldn't be making a profit. Everybody keeps telling me if you can't make a profit you close it, I don't know why DW is open Mon-Thur.

The other day, I witnessed the JR train being sent with 3 people onboard and the 🚗 had no queue.

@DaptoFunlandGuyIf you went to DW today you would be lucky if there is 300 guest in the park. Should DW close today? DW'S latest marketing angle is you can ride 7 rides in an hour. If guest can fit in 7 rides in an hour, the park isn't making any money.

Cold. 🤣 Maybe you should go when WWW starts trading in winter again. The water is toasty warm at WWW in winter. If it rains all day, Theme park numbers also drop by a poopload so I don't know what your point is.

Isn't it the responsibility of the people running it, to make it appealing so people want to come? @Narra All this chat came from me starting a topic asking, if CE had given up on WWW.

I have no grievance with the GC water parks reducing hours over winter. WWW haven't reduced hours; WWW has locked the gate. Theme Parks and water parks are different beast and you don’t operate them the same. A theme park, you want a person to stay in the park as long as you can hold onto them because there is a ton of situations to get your fingers into their wallets & purses, to get every cent out of the guest. An example of a park holding onto guest: When Universal Hollywood is open during the quieter periods, the first showing of WaterWorld doesn’t happen to after lunch because Universal know people will stay in the park to see the show. Some of those people waiting will get hungry and buy lunch. An example of a park not holding onto a guest I turned up at DW the other day at opening, just to see the new SV production. I entered the park, watched the show, and left straight away. DW didn’t make 1 cent out of me. Now if I had turned up and the new experience did not happen for a few hours, 1. I would have purchased a coffee. 2. If you have a child with you, the kid would have started asking for food. DW spend a lot of time, effort and money getting people into the park in the first place, and when the guest are inside, DW should capitalise on keeping the guest in the park, spending money and not shutting early. One sure way of not making money is not being open. A water park has limited opportunities to get extra money out of guest. WWW, one gift shop & and one food eatery. (arcade but Dapto said no) A water park you’re not making extra money keeping the guest in the park because little Jenny can only eat so many hot chips. The water park makes its money by people entering the front gate. You let the guest in, you feed the guest & you kick the guest out. I've been on a water slide while it's snowing, so if you can't keep a slide open in winter in Queensland, you're doing it wrong.

//s 🤦‍♂️ 🤣@DaptoFunlandGuy

WnW was open during winter before WWW opened. WnW was open when WWW, once upon a time, opened for winter. WnW is now currently open while WWW shuts shop. I really don't think WnW care what WWW do. If WWW can't compete it's because they have driven their own prices up with 30,000 lifeguards on the wave pool. //s

It might save money but it doesn't make money. What did I concede? I've never said it doesn't save you money. Sorry didn't see this. WnW is WWW main (probably only) competitor.

If you believe only 5 guest turn up in winter, I would say you have never been in winter. WWW is a better park for winter over WnW. 1. The water heating is better. 2. The queues have been wrapped to reduce wind. 3. The park footprint is smaller. A water park isn't a theme park. But if you want to talk about how I think DW's trading hours is the lazy way to save money, I'm up for it.

I haven't seen an end date posted. If you have a pass, it's defiantly worth a trip just to see it. Brogent Technologies now produce led dome screens and that is what Africa was produced for.

I waited to after the holidays to take flight because when I went during the holidays the queue exceeded 1 hour. The quality of the image on the screen has improved but there is a but. You can see light boxes behind the image. The reflection onto the screen of emergency exit signs is annoying but I do not know how you fix the reflection because you can’t position the signage anywhere you want. The film was immersive, and it has a couple of moments where the audience gasps. The film felt short but I’m not sure if it was short compared to the other productions because I didn’t time it or felt short because I was immersed in it and lost track of time. It is a defendant must see and DW are doing an excellent job mixing up films.

Why is WnW open @DaptoFunlandGuy

I'm not sure what you're saying @DaptoFunlandGuybecause when BGH purchased Village, Dreamworld wasn't worth as much as Village.

Crowd levels have reduced at every park @themagician. Village and Dreamworld are handling the downturn differently. 1. DW have reduce hours to keep staff levels down. (not even being bothered opening WWW) 2. Village staying open but running the park with fewer staff.

I prefer open body slides.

Let's try that again. Kinda looks like CE are trying to get every bit out of DW before the big sell.

Somebody need to do a before & after car park count.

There are a couple of environmental requirements/issues council did seek further information on. (council being council) Interesting new site layout.

A few weeks the application was ready to be voted on by council. The council meet monthly and I haven't checked when it will be listed on the agenda.

I have no problems in tearing it down. DW exhibits they are short on crust, so I was only trying to save DW a few bucks. You would make that area work better by removing it.

2nd cheapest option. A non-sucking option, so it's still worth taking a photo is something like what DW have done with the car, as you enter Rivertown. A garden in front of it. A wishing well pond, the fire truck sits in. (you could even have Kenny on a hose).

I have no problem with DW protecting themselves, it just looks DW went with the cheapest option. If you believe parents aren't as attentive to their kids theses days, you should have grown up in the 80's. Kids can't even climb trees today, without falling out of them.
