According to Ardent Leisure, they have over 140m in cash and no debt.

@themagician I don't remember having an opinion on it during the announcement, probably because I didn't give it much thought, but I don't like how the precinct boundaries, have now been muddied.

Did MW really need to copy and paste Gumbuya World?

Adding a forest would be a good start.

It would make a good paperweight @DJKostya //s

The little extras DW are adding, are great.

This isn't OnlyFans buddy.

Sometimes, I just think you like the sound of your own voice. 🤦‍♂️ Could you ride the old train if you were in a wheelchair? YES. Debate over. Not only have you moved the goal post on what I was saying, you have added an extra 2 football fields.

@DaptoFunlandGuyi don't understand your post because all I was saying was, the train already allowed wheelchair access. @themagiciansaid "The raising of the station platforms and carriages that allow for wheelchairs" I wasn't saying an upgrade wasn't warranted.

The train was always wheelchair accessible, as the train had a dedicated carriage for wheelchairs. When the new carriages were purchased, DW went down the inclusive route instead of the route of wheelchair user like to sit in the rain, while riding a train.

As we learn more about disabilities, Greg has been on the front foot getting services into the parks. At MW Greg turned Taz Taxis into a family quiet area, Taz Rest Stop, and the first addition built for the Future of DW project was a parent / quite space building. Access ramp to the stage & now investing in helping guest further though visual aids, are great additions by DW.

Bring back the mushrooms!😀

Motor coaster needs to be re-themed to Monkey Coaster. That way we can continue to call it MC. //s New spinning trains with crazy monkeys causing havoc.

Any word on if DW is running a hoilday event this year?

Taken from the November AGM meeting, DW is expecting the DF to open by the end of December..

You heard it here first people. The delays are going to be next level. //s

VR never seem to be in a hurry, when they install new attractions.

Southern hemisphere has no meaning anymore because travel is easy to the northern hemisphere.

Luna Park Melbourne has a coaster within a coaster.

The Flash isn't even the first the first coaster of it's type to be built inside another coaster. Queue Aviator AirBender at Nickelodeon Universe. AirBender is built inside of Pepsi Orange Streak.

Are they ties or are they alignment bars?

I'm one of your friends and I'm telling you it’s worse for me than it was before light rail. I had eight bus services within 100m of my house and now I have one that comes every hour and stops at 5pm. The week before the light rail started, I got a letterbox drop telling me 7 bus routes were being stopped. If I now want to go into Surfers at night, I have to drive home drunk from Helensvale station because there is no longer a bus that I can catch. (//s) I was all for the light-rail but that was before, I found out I had no connection to it when I need it. Translink currently have a 2-year trial for on demand transport northern Gold Coast – Pacific Pines and Nerang/Highland Park. Not where I live but hopefully it works out and Translink extend the program. As I said earlier after experiencing it firsthand, light-rail isn’t flexible like buses are because they don’t have extra trains to put on the track during major events. “A Gold Coast MP says a mini-bus could provide public transport for people in western parts of the city where regular services have been reduced”. But, I don’t think it’s going very well because – “Mayor Tommy Tate has acknowledged bus usage is lower than he would like, but he says efforts are being made to improve services in the north”. I also almost certain but Gazza 50% more people riding light-rail over buses was when it first opened. Latest what I can find is. “The Gold Coast City Council's annual transport snapshot has revealed residents are continuing to shy away from public services — patronage is down 35 per cent compared to pre-COVID levels.” This Is from last year. Light rail is like a roller coaster. I must when it first opens but now it's yea, I'll do it next time.

@Gazzayou're an intelligent man so I'm sure you have taken into account the unpresented growth the GC and in particular the northern GC impact on public transport growth, which all feeds into the Helensvale station. I’m sure you agree the M1 has turned into a car park, yet people still prefer to sit in the traffic than catch a train. GC 3.3% use of public transport per household in 2021 was exceptionally low compared to other major cities, I believe you would agree with me on that. If I am a tourist in another city, I tend to take the public transport type, I haven’t been on before, just to experience it. More people might be catching light rail, but it's not due to the light rail providing a better service.

The light rail on the GC doesn't work well for events compared to buses because they don't have extra trains to add to the line. If you have ever been to the GC500 by light rail, you will know what I'm talking about. You have no problems getting there because people arrive at different times but when the event finishes, you will wait hours to get home. This didn’t happen before light rail, with buses because Translink would put extra buses on. One would think, Translink would add buses to support the light rail during events, but I have never seen this happen. If the light rail ever ends up at any theme parks, one thing you can be sure of, Translink will cut most bus services to the parks. The service will even get worse. Before light rail came to Helensvale there was a direct bus from Helensvale train station to SW. Now you have two choices and both choices take longer than before. Light rail and bus transfer or catch the bus that tours the backstreets of the GC.

I would like to know the proposed route, this theme park boss proposes. My guess is the mouth started moving before the brain kicked in.
