Falling Standards at Our Parks
Which is what I said. "This mindset might have been triggered from your first interactions of the day". Title should read: BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE MAKES LITTLE THINGS GLARINGLY OBVIOUS. đ The non-interaction from staff members personally doesnât get me upset but if I felt a staff member was being purposely rude to me than that would upset me. Of late when Iâve been at a theme parks, Iâve been taking off my enthusiast hat because for me, I have found it is taking the fun out of the parks. I also find being staff being over friendly fake & creeps me out. (Example is the fun patrol at DW) I shouldnât need somebody at a park to tell me to have fun.

Dreamworld Hotdog stand
The attachment you have posted doesnât say anything more than âadventures With JWord said. It also doesnât confirm anything because it has no source. If you wrote I found this on the DW web site about the hotdog stand, we wouldnât have to scratch our heads. You might know what your posting but nobody on Parkz can read your mind. Saying âDW thrill ridesâ means nothing either. Saying DW web page âDW thrill ridesâ isnât working. Would be helpful to the community. As I said what you are thinking is what you need to tell us.

Falling Standards at Our Parks
Fair shake of the sauce bottle, no crime was committed and I'm not blaming MickeyD. I didn't say it was he fault for any of the issues. He said "Next up DC Rivals. Wow what a Coaster. 99% probably wouldn't notice this but the wall on the Exit side of the Station is already weathered. Cheap job no doubt that will bite back in another season or two". I'm saying he noticed it because he was the 1% looking for it.

Falling Standards at Our Parks
To me it looks like you went to MW with the mindset of looking for problems. This mindset might have been triggered from your first interactions of the day. It's very easy to find problems with anything when you are actively seeking it out. I do agree the items you have listed are problems, but I donât go to theme parks to talk to ticket both operators. I also donât go to theme parks to make friends with the person loading me onto a ride. If you what to go to a theme park that checks every lightbulb nightly your expectations are too high @MickeyD.

New share price lows as Village Roadshow blames poor theme park performance on Commonwealth Games and wet weather
I understand the problems you're having @Theosie "but" yes I have a but. You can't expect MW to cater for every dietary requirement that a person may or may not have. Thatâs why MW say if you have a dietary requirement you can bring your own food. Sit back and enjoy skeetâs example time: My daughter is allergic to peanuts. To the point if somebody whoâs handled peanuts hours before they rode Road Runner Roller Coaster and my daughter rode afterwards, it would end up with me administrating her with an EpiPen injection and a ride in the back of an ambulance. What does MW do to protect my child and themselves from my child having a reaction from entering the park. They tell me if my child has allergies to bring my own food because MW canât guarantee to me that somewhere along the line the food hasnât come into contact with peanuts. For MW to cater for daughterâs dietary requirement MW would have to remove all other food from the park. âAll other food, Skeeta gone mad againâ probably but the next time you go to the shop read the allergy label on the product and 90% of products say may contain peanuts or may have come in contact with peanuts. 88% of the time there is no chance that product would contain traces of peanuts, but they say it to protect themselves. Iâm sorry the plain bread roll canât be on the menu. My daughter canât eat a bread roll made from a bakery because bakeries handle peanuts in some of their products can cross contaminant the bread roll. There is so many different dietary requirements that MW could never cater for everyone.

Flyover Australia: Dreamworld registers trademark, looks to increase Flying Theatre capacity
Interesting when you check how the trademark is going you see this. Not knowing how trademark application works I can only assume Ardent has cancelled the application.

Chinaâs first International water theme park in Haikou, WetânâWild Haikou, is now open
Not to offend the Japaneseâs any further with your "English" modern Haiku poem I have written a Hailu poem of my own in the tongue of the Japaneseâs. ăŠăŽăăăŤç§ăŻĺčŞăŤĺăăŽă§ăă ăăăłéłçŻăŽć° čŻăäżłĺĽăŽăă㍠Is WnW currently expanding to any other countries?

Big Banana & The Coffs Harbour Bypass
I agree Alex. Removing some traffic out of the town will make Coffs more pleasant to visit. Whenever I have driven through Coffs itâs been a traffic nightmare and all I've wanted to do is get out of Coffs as quick as I can. Kingscliff and Hasting Point are great places to visit now because of bypass roads.

Maybe you had a disconnect between brain and fingers moment. đ I missed your intent too. I don't know why people are disputing which park is better. The Riptide Sydney looks exactly like Typhoon Haikou. Wet N Wild did such a great job in cloning the park that I can't spot the differences. </sarcasm> Riptide Sydney Typhoon Haikou

E-Stop on Flying Dinosaur at Tokyo Universal.
I was going to throw you down a rope to get you out @Roachie but I'm afraid if I give you to much rope you might hang yourself with it. @Roachie I asked my "general public" workmate to read the article and I asked him how many trains were involved. He replied. âHavenât you got work to do?â

Looks a lot like the escape Rhino drill. And escape Zebra drill They all end with people getting hurt and the animal getting shot with a dart. Hopefully they can come up with a plan where people don't get hurt soon.

I've read this is a very common condition with the Monorail & the Bermuda Triangle at SW. What annoys me most is we didn't get to see Amy ride it.

Current Sea World Thoughts (2018)
I have a few questions regarding the shows. Who is creating the shows? Who is approving shows? Which managers at Village like the shows? Which managers would pay out of their pocket to see the shows? Now for my thoughts - The people creating the shows are crap at their jobs. The people signing of the shows donât know what a good show is. The management donât care about the shows. I know hell would have to freeze over before I paid to watch any of the shows and SW are only using the shows as a filler which leaves you feeling empty. When a theme park put in a show they must treat it no different to putting in a new ride. SW gave us Jet Rescue with the extra kicker (launch) because SW knew the MDMC version wasnât going to cut it, but Village refuse to add a kicker to the shows. Instead Village have installed âMDMC THE SHOWâ in all the parks. A couple of Jet skis having a stupid competition is crap, dull, dumb, foolish, futile, ill-advised, irrelevant, laughable, ludicrous, naĂŻve, short-sighted, simple, half-baked, half-witted, idiotic, meaningless, moronic, pointless, stupefied and did I mention stupid because itâs stupid too. Donât get me started on how boring it is. There arenât enough words in the world to describe how boring it is. Push my wife is a lot like you when I take her out to dinner. She always goes the chicken. I'm say to her "Try the fish, Try the lamb" but it's always the chicken.
