Calls for Dreamworld to change their name
Really? Land is in short demand on the Gold Coast and people are now living in Pimpama believe they are living on the Gold Coast.

Renaming Dreamworld would be a token and ultimately ineffective fix for the theme park's woes
MW & SW do I'm too old for the baby rides but not ready for Scooby yet badly, which is the 4-5-6 -7 year old range of guest. To add to that when a 6 to 8 -year-old if ready for Scooby it’s another big jump to GL or SM. Considering once I was 15 I was to cool to go to DW with my parents who had the cash flow you are looking at 30% of children overlooked by Village. Plus if you want to compare what is tied and rundown that would be Kids WB Fun Zone not Dreamworks.

Dreamworld posts losses and writes off $75 million in value, Ardent Leisure safety chairman resigns
I don't know I'm not a Town Planner. I only know what happened the last time Ardent tried to sell the land. Flip what you just said and you would be right. The 2 RP lots 2 & 3 is Ardent land. The 2 SP lots 102 & 103 was created when Ardent split the land for sale. If you look at my Google Earth image you will notice the new owner has already cleared the land (Lot 102). A bit of useless information but when WWW was going to be a "thing" and stage 3 was in the pipework Lot 3 was approved as an overflow car park. Ardent went as far as clearing the large trees. When you drive past next time you may notice a clearing with small regrowth.

Yes, you can because before the accident DW was a dump and DW was having its biggest years. The car park was full, and the queues were long. The only thing that has changed is the accident. People thought this place looks like shit but DW safety would be AAA. Now people know they should've judged this book by its cover. 100% DW needs a full rebuild and cosmetic surgery to incite people back into the park. What are you blaming MW low numbers on @XxMrYoshixX?

You can't go by your numbers. The creek you talk about is not a creek but part of Gold Coast TIDAL waterways. TIDAL being the key word. When Ardent went to sell it last time the Queensland Government wanted to take ownership of the TIDAL waterway and I believe 10m each side at no cost to the Government. Using Google Earth, the length of the waterway is over 1km long which means if the Government took ownership of the waterway Ardent could forgo 200000sqm of current land ownership. The new boundary line next to the waterway as you see it now was not the Ardent’s first option when they sold the last parcel of land. The original parcel of land that was originally up for sale is outlined by my red line. When the Government requested Ardent surrender the land Ardent changed the boundary line not to include the waterway. Note: now the new boundary doesn’t come within 10m of the waterway I marked in blue. If Ardent went to sell any land containing the waterway the Government would come into play again.

I don't believe housing was ruled out, but it would be a hard sell. Ardent only wanted to get a report to increase the value of the land in a developer’s mind. (Look at this land in my left hand, currently you can only build a theme park on it. Look at the land in my right hand, this is how the land could be developed the future. Now let’s forget about my left hand and set an asking price based on my right hand). Ardent couldn’t give a crap if Mr Wi Tu Lo built a Laundromat on the excess land or Mr Ho Lee Fuk built a hotel. Ardent want to tell you the excess land is premium land and they want a premium price.

We still haven’t learnt what Ardent are intending to do with the excess land. I believe it was at least a year ago Ardent engaged a Town Planner.

Until it's not true anymore. So, your saying when the mine ride final fell nobody cared because I remember an outcry that DW didn't keep it going. TRR is the reason numbers down. If what you are saying is true, then all the people who have stopped going to DW because it's a mouldy old rag would now be at MW and SW which both have flashy new rides.

A name change is the least of DW problems. If anybody needs a new hair tie I believe you can currently get them for free at the bottom of WWW wave pool. No need to all rush, available in many colours.

Ardent's appointments to oversee Dreamworld turnaround lack real theme park experience
Imagine this, it’s school holidays and you go to DW to find out that half of the Big 9 thrill rides aren’t operating. Crap Skeet what are you thinking. No need to imagine this because this was the reality of the past school holidays. Claw: DOWN. Buzzsaw: DOWN. Pandamonium: DOWN. Tower of Terror: DOWN. And don’t forget poor little Timmy who wanted to ride the Shrek’s Ogre-Go-Round because it was DOWN too. I’ve done it again I forgot about the water park. Supertubes Hydrocoaster: DOWN. The Little Rippers: DOWN. I would love a RMC as much as the next person but 1 ride isn’t going to save DW.

I don't want 2 MW's theme parks on the Gold Coast. It must be pulling someone if it's been running for years now. That ship sailed when WWW was canned as a park. WWW is nothing more than Blue Lagoon on steroids now. It's obvious it’s currently not Gold Rush. DW don’t have a plan so what do you want DW to say? Do not do this. Do not spend all of DW's money on a one trick pony while the rest of the park sucks. LOL, who's in the "I'm to cool crowd"

I came across the DW committee a couple of weeks ago and everything you are saying is what I thought as I read about each committee member. The committee is a crock of shit.

West coast V East coast theme parks in USA
I'm trying to picture this Super 8 near main gate. I can't recall where it is. I know there is a Super 8 which is north of DL which is a bit of a pain in the ass to get to DL. There's was a Super 8 next to Gardenwalk which has changed to King Inn. On Disney Way there’s a motel call Super 6 Main Gate. I’ve stayed at King Inn before and after it was a super 8 and it did the job of supplying a bed. LA isn't as bad as it looks. Lane guidance on a GPS takes the stress out of driving.

Village Roadshow has gone into a trading halt
A fire sale doesn't give me optimism for the immediate future and the shit has hit the fan if the CEO’s are taking pay cuts. I understand companies drop companies that are underperforming but what do you do when every company you own is leaking? If they can’t plug all the holes the ships going to sink. VRL have placed band aids over the holes but they haven’t fixed the problems.

Village Roadshow has gone into a trading halt
Google you lied to me. Even so VRL's all time high of 7.424 to the current 1.75 it not a good thing. If VRL don't change the trend of the last 4 years. VRL won't be here in another 4 years. Chart proudly supplied by skeet economics 101. It's obvious I know nothing about economics and I don't pretend to but if I was currently buying shares I wouldn’t be buying them in VRL.

Village Roadshow has gone into a trading halt
VR are currently running their own Coles down, down campaign. When you compare the share prices between Ardent and Village over the last 2 years you would swear the accident happened at MW. 21 October 2016 $14.95 13 July 2018 $1.75 26 October 2016 $2.76 13 July 2018 $2.06
