Worth noting the first standby date is now listed for sale. 22nd

*You're wasting your time, I assume. Nothing worse than troll that cant't even spell. To be technical this is a relaunch/rebrand of a previous site New content and other things in the pipeline, patience is a virtue. Have a look back on Dec 26 Whilst Parkz is a site primarily known for its discussion forums that are not exactly welcoming to newcomers, this is for tourists and locals.

Nah, not at this stage. The site is not intended for theme park enthusiasts. How about this one, cropped?

It is an old VRTP PR photo apparently, but noted. Yes the red is god awful, the website is a major work in progress. I doubt it was Parkz, I think they were tipped off or found it through monitoring the park pages. When was the last time Parkz provided a statement to a news publication? Fairly sure they generally prefer to quote Joe Blogs who is up from VIC on holidays or that guy with a PHD studying coasters. It was fairly obvious regardless of where it was being discussed, "you heard it here first" hardly matters, I was ready to publish my article on the 8th but held off for the statement. Shameless plug (tick)

Saturday? Will ensure I am there to lie in the middle of Main St and get in the background of any photo you wish to take ?. Regarding the "snow" it is the same as always, just perhaps a little less at the end of the parade than previous years.

I know I have one I think you are giving yourself too much credit there, how many unique page views for that story and any coming for a media IP address? If I were a 7 reporter assigned to Gold Coast Theme Parks I would have this or similar running on the main and matinance pages of each park. Possibly it was from my newly launched website suprising amount of traffic considering the facebook views/shares.

I think Dreamworld can fully recover with time, and investment.

I don't think they were ready/wanting to announce it at all. I would say 7 News were reading these forums *waves* or were somehow otherwise advised. Perhaps they have a software running to monitor web page changes at the parks. They made a statement to one media outlet, a release was not made. I agree, but after being told a statement would be released Friday afternoon and that a draft had circulated internally then being told by a VRTP media representative on Friday "It will be released when it's ready". I am not always a fan of the way VRTP operate but I must defend them here. I think 7 forced their hand here, better to run with a statement early than "no comment" causing 7 to speculate. I'm am also a little disappointed to not have seen any of the management team from VRTP showing their support at Dreamworld.

Change is hard to accept for many people... I was holding out a slim amount of hope until I saw fencing.

It is near impossible to find TTR on anything, that was made sure of. Although one thing remains I will leave you guys to guess. They even are using generic white plastic bags until new stock arrives I thought the crowds were as expected by myself personally. Can also confirm 4. Will add my 5c regarding today. I attended from aprox 10:30AM until close. All the staff were great, many that know me as a frequent guest ran up to me, said my name. Most of the suit characters gave me hugs without prompting. Everyone is excited to have guests in the park, especially the dingos. Not on the showtimes, but there is also a tap/parkour kinda show, will post images/video from that later.

Yes it would Have edited it slightly from above when an English Grammer nazi gave me some help.

Mamoth had someone on a cherry picker the other day, inspecting?

Cant link to my own site but yep, there is the whole article. SW Guest Services told me they were informed it is public information now and a media statement was to be sent out this afternoon. Although I certainly did not receive it.

How can you afford both a wife and a mistress! That must get expensive.

Interesting development but not at all suprising. Disappointing nonetheless

I would love to see Lego DC in some form at Movie World although I don't see it happening. Whilst I think it is likely Flash (although I am hoping for Wonder Woman) I would like to throw Batman into the ring. New DCU film coming, always a popular property and I think Batman/his library of villains can easily support two coasters and a Villians area.

I didn't think you were dick until your reply Nonetheless people can be easily misunderstood or interpreted online. A fair few keyboard warriors reside on Parkz who are perfectly nice in person. Just as you have a link to your website in your profile I have a link in mine. Where I choose to share my content is my concern and not sharing it on Parkz does not make me any less of a member/contributor/enthusiast/whatever.

See the * asterix, that means terms/conditions apply I assumed he would still see them somewhere. A fool and his money are soon parted The only benefits to Parkz Crew that interest me are " First is useful/should be given to those long standing in good reputation members anyway and second is not worth $20 a year. Would rather hire a locker at Superman 10 times. Regardless it seems you were hurt you did not attend perhaps? Here is a single photo taken with an iPad I am happy for Parkz to use! Now on topic..... Tonight was great, they have stepped it up a notch compared to previous years. Will not spoil all the details. But a little birdie informed me @JaggedJanine has taken some high quality shots she will be posting soon.

I hear (churro vender at the front of the park) Dec 26 assuming VRCoaater gets the update to them by then (no idea how long that takes especially in this season). It's true, have confirmed it with multiple internal sources. Also makes sense considering the timeline. If it was a software incompatibility (unlikely) they could have rolled back the update or even purchased new handsets. This suggests an WHS issue with the headsets/operation themselves given it stopped abrubtly without apparent reason.

I highly doubt what Luke was told on the phone is accurate, did you speak to someone in the contact centre or Guest Services? It is getting a software update with some changes/enhancements. It is not being scrapped. Alex B may be on the money there.. Given how long this "update" is taking though I have to assume they are delivering the update using 2G to each handset individually.

^ This, but not only the issue of people wearing a tshirt with sensitive imagery but the media will have a field day on the "disrespect" shown to the families. Prior to the incident all plastic passes (unsure on laminate) and the membership cups/bags have TRR. All new activations will get different stock now.

Do you not realise Parkz is not only an enthusiast forum, but also a profit making business? Have you not noticed the large affiliate Groupon banner. I am "genuine contributor" have a look at my record. Lets get back on topic shall we?

Expect that page to be republished with updated information prior to the 10th. I can confirm Dreamworks rides will be operating. (excluding Pandemonium).

As I will not be sharing the images directly on Parkz as I do not want to give "unrestricted rights to use that content on Parkz." I thought I would mention where you might be find the content if you wish to tomorrow. What I said does not breach the guidelines (I think).

Will be there tomorrow night will post some updates to my facebook.
