Park Addict 93

I knew of Lego margins being 25-30% generally, didn't consider the store is a partnership and possibly the revenue sharing as AlexB mentioned.

Worth noting "Excludes lego store" has been added under the retail discount on the passholders page. Assuming they sell at RRP a little disappointing, surely their is more than 10-15% in their margins.

I heard (and this could be bollocks, but I heard it from an employee higher than a ride op) that "Hapiness" was due for retirement after summer and with the incident/prolonged closure they decided they would accelerate the timeline. Think of all the retail stock/merchandise that had TRR that has had to be refreshed, makes sense for them to go a little sooner.

I have a feeling it wasn't really ready to be published in the first place, with screamworld crowddj text and "Tiger Island Copy" "ABC World Intro" ect. .

^ They have already said kids/Dreamworks will be open. It is also 10 days away, who knows they may operate limited thrill rides. Very smart to give existing passholders an extra 6 months. Will be interesting to see the ticket options when they reopen. I wonder what they will be offering members

$25 is very generous donation for passholders. Especially considering you can potentially go both days. Most would be on a season Pass costing roughly $100 (but sold for as low as $80. Also worth noting.

Woo! Not sure if it is my doing or not but that was part of some feedback I submitted 2 weeks ago! Had a fair bit of paint peeling ect.

*facepalm* Also worth noting Hunger Buster has been refreshed/thirst quencher introduced. Thirst Quencher is unlimited soft drink refills (one sipper included) across the 3 parks $24.99 (14 days) $39.99 (June 30) Hunger Buster is $54.99 (14 days) $99.99 (June 30) Combo (Both) is $69.99 14 days $124.99 (June 30) Blackout dates of Dec 26 - Jan 15

Doomsday reopened today, some new carpet has been installed on the retractable ride floor. Everything else has already been noticed/reported.

Just passed DW, the entrance banner/ribbon has changed. Has the Dreamworld logo (without "happiness") Welcome and a "celebrating 35 years" gold badge/circle.

Someone else on these forums may also posses a Bermuda Alien... He currently is wearing an AOS hat.

Those lockers are now wristband, went to WNW for the first time in years the other day and went to use them and they are like rest. As someone who previously paid $299 for 12 months to three parks (MyFun Mega Pass) I wouldnt mind paying more for a short term or long term locker pass attached to my membership card. Would go with my Fast Photo, Hunger Buster & Thirst Quencher nicely ;).

Not disputing what you are saying, just saying they are within ACCC guidelines. But I didn't realise Visa/MC debit are classed differently so they are in breach of that.

It does more closely reflect business costs, 0.97% is what VRTP charge now for Visa/MC and what is required under ACCC guidelines. Credit Card fees are now only legally cost recovery. The front gate used to charge $3.95, this is now 0.97%.

It stops at Dreamworld, asked a driver the other day. For staff.

I agree re: single rider. I hadn't visited the park for a few years until recently due to this and the need for improved pathways/water or something. No. 1 complaint I hear about WNW.

I agree that a credit surcharge is ridiculous in this day/age for PayPass/Paywave, for the holiday/peak season it slows the lines down. As for the rounding issue it is automatic in the POS, the staff have the capacity to adjust it so if it matters to you ask them too. They will/are being advised they are supposed to do it for customers without prompting.

The new opening date for Lego is Christmas (previously listed as November). I personally think the park will be open by Dec 1, although I hope sooner.

Add me to the list for a polo (y)

I speculated those exact options the other day with some friends... I think they will build a more permanent wall between Buzzsaw and TRR if they go the first option.It wouldn't surprise me if they closed off the whole area but they were testing BuzzSaw recently.

Regararding Kevil. I heard that the licensing was renewed recently however they planned to just keep it as a scare attraction for Screamworld. With no current Screamworld dates for the year and Zombies will be branded as insensitive by many and the media I highly doubt we will see the attraction reopen in its current form again.

I wil be there the first day they reopening, as a very frequent visitor to the parks since the age of 12 and being friends with many staff this incident has hit me surprisingly hard. I confirmed this morning once the reopening plan is finalised it will be made public immediately.

Not that much of a difference in these circumstances, I doubt they will leave it SBNO for a long period. With the QPS announcing they have completed onsite investigations I wouldn't be surprise to see it happen fairly quick.

Just in case you haven't seen, there is currently a Groupon deal for the resort. https://www.groupon.com.au/deals/ga-sea-world-resort

True, Dreamworld will be walking on eggshells for the next year in regards to the media.
