Croaker was best when presenting the SeaWorld Ski show. Then he took over everything, not just the Theme Park S&E - but ALL of the major Park Operations too - AND- with what!? BigGa$h stepped in nicely by his side, & well, where is that guy now?🫠

.. what, after they stopped trading discount coupons at the gate in exchange for full price?🧐

I know you're saying "dreams are free" BUT, "Once upon a time" , there was not just one, but several GC Theme Parks built on such whimsical things made from magical sparkles & shit, with lollipops, Unicorns and the like.. yeah, look, go on, I know you remember a time 😁 Sadly MW and VRTP have departed from reality & continue diving down some sort of crazy arse path of I dunno... WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK?? @DaptoFunlandGuy you're spot on, of course the average Mum & Dad have no idea what they're talking about, - THAT'S exactly my point! It's about engaging with Customer, genuinely taking interest in your audience and making them feel like they're a part of the journey (like it or not!). I mean, how hard is it to make your own sandwiches and wraps in Park ? How hard is it to create your own sweet treats and how hard is it to build your own unique brand with a memorable customer experience with a consistency unmatched by a genuine effort to make sure every visitor's day exceeds that of the one before? Passion is where it all starts and that's exactly where they need to go back to.

The MW layout has always been a shemozzle but today, it's a painful ball ache, at best. Right now, the s/western corner of the Park is lonely, sad as f*CK & boring (regardless if WWF is open or not) + if you're sans smaller kids in your group the n/eastern Looney side is another no-go zone! As a veteran Cast Member, It's hard not to be critical.. sorry I just can't help myself, as much as I try to ignore the little things on any given visit, some things are hard to look past (don't even get me started 🤦‍♂️ on the OZ land, seriously wtf??), but tell me I'm not the only 1 who finds the place has entrenched itself with pointless dead ends.and the worst crowd flow I've ever experienced in a Theme Park, globally. All criticism aside, I must say the majority of Cast Members are the best in years and deserve to be properly recognised for their hard work and efforts. Cast aside, being repeatedly funnelled up and down the same Main Street, Christ knows how many times on any given day, is the fundamental reason why most people leave the Park feeling dissatisfied. It's monotonous, mundane and repetitive. Simple solution* - Management just need to set foot in the Park, (during trading hours) & take a look through the eyes of all visitors - especially the Holidaying families. Take a seat with them, shout the kids a front seat ride pass, buy Mum & Dad a coffee & take the time to have a chat, engage, listen & learn about how to reconnect with what Movie World has struggled with for far too many years - an industry leading relationship between Guest and Cast. We all know there are simple & obvious fixes to improve circular crowd flows around MW, but tbh opinions of Theme park enthusiasts on sites like this, which to be frank, no-one knows about is entirely useless. That's why the only way to fix things is for them to go back to basics, get those precious executive's arses out of their casual clothes, put on a uniform like everyone else, get out of their cushy office (and that goes for you too, Clarke!) hit the pavement, get to know your employer (the customer).& open your hearts and minds! The rest will work itself out 👍

Move Trident into the Spot, call it an Aquaman ride & swap the S&S spaceshot to fill the Trident void. Not entirely "ideal" but 100% cost effective solution to solving 2 problems.

^ just got bumped another week, till the 27th🙄. To be fair, the thing has ran non stop since day 1, but still, Holidays etc.. Hopefully we won't so any further delays.

More great news for Sky Voyager, I believe Niagara Falls is on the way! Fair call, and you'd think it would be easy enough to have both.. right? Trouble with those suitcase props, the constant climbing and subsequent breaking them, not only did they need frequent fixing/replacing & the unfortunate reality of stupid people ruining the experience for everyone else. If the main Q area was further upgraded, thematic touches like baggage carousels etc might have to be fenced off (eg Jungle Rush). Either way, addition of seats is a massive welcome to many who need to take a load off tired feet..

While they're at it, the Geyser area out back hasn't been pressure washed in... Hmm let's see, Ever? 🤞 they clean that up too

So, are you saying you'd rather stand on the spot for 10 minutes, over taking a break, to sit down a bit & enjoy a calm moment of respite? Especially when most of a Theme Park day (at least in Australia) is spent on your feet -all while outside in the sultry QLD heat. The baggage carousel btw was only ever sat on by small children and replaced more times than worth counting. Just saying

^Absolutely! Personally, I'd have preferred they put seats along the outer side, facing the screen, but semantics... 🙃Honestly, this is such a massive welcome for anyone with tired feet and in need of a break, while waiting for the next adventure 👍

Another example of DW actively listening to Guest Feedback 👏👏👏 Other noticeable improvements from the latest refurb; repainted ceiling/walls in common areas & that awful dead rat smell is (mostly) gone.🙏 Best of all, I'm thoroughly impressed with how they are constantly improving the "flight experience" with noticeable adjustments to the side Gondola-to-screen alignment and the projection quality overall has never looked better, infact I would say it's now at Disney standard! I'm sure they will address the shows Audio and physical effects in the future, as they continue to improve the overall experience, but it's just so good to enjoy the experience more every time I ride👍

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice?👀

I've already put a SV Q solution to DW, no movement just yet but installing sliding bench seating around the outer Queue rails of SV -not a new idea, but one that would make the whole stationary waiting (nature of a cycle ride) ordeal so much more comfortable, and 🤞 might just slow down those clamouring kiddies from further breaking the already broken fake suitcases?

^ nice idea but this beauty looks a good 20m + Id hazard a guess , the real budget would be less than half that figure. Maybe close to 20m if you want to include a river boat cruise and another lesser attraction to Rivertown, but Yuh, just nuh. By "that" & "next chapter" , surely they're hinting at something a little closer to home. An easy retheme, - immersive queue, spinning cars, even a 2nd launch? Tbh, this Coaster has far more potential than just pulling it down. Guess I'll be standing by to eat my word soup, but in the meantime I guess we'll just have to wait and see 😋

Maybe we should just take a moment on all this breathe in, out, etc.. Seriously, calm the fuck down everyone! Has Dreamworld management given you many reasons for concern over their creative direction of late? NO??? no. Let's not go jumping the gun here pp!? Hold your fire, maybe, can we just take our time, wait & see before unloading judgement....? Yuh?!😁
