I understand credits are ever so important but. Rome wasn't built in a day.

The way this works is that if you come from the Fairfield local government area (LGA) in Sydney you tested for covid every 7 days. That also applies if you reside outside of the region but travel into Sydney for work. I believe it's the same as Sydney siders who leave Sydney for essential work. We have a lockdown within a lockdown within a lockdown.

100%. It seems people are not aware of the amended LPS act. Once again people stirring the pot. Sydney will need LPS when we get out of lockdown. Look at parks around the world, entertainment is needed and desired by so many.

Gives you a true idea about the 10K radius. I agree its not worth the risk for likes or to keep the "cool kid" status.

I understand ones need and desire to get out during such a tough time. The NSW government has issued health orders and they must be observed. I live a casual 15 minute drive from a beach, I don't go to the beach during this time for a walk or a surf however. This seems like a blatant breach of any health order currently, Sure sit at home and be annoyed at what you are missing out on but to then to do what you are doing is simply upsetting and annoying to others effected by what is going on. @DaptoFunlandGuyis right, it seems like its been done for attention and promotion. While possibly in good faith it actually has a immediate negative impact for possibly some long term "fifteen minutes of fame".

If you are going to work next to an amusement park you kinda need to expect it. It's like working near the main road, or an airport.

That's a huge hole

True, he could easily work in the Harry Seidler & Associates (location of mentioned car park) building. That's an office building, not a residential building.

once again, happy to see photos but I hope this was on the way for essential services with all the covid restrictions. If we want the park to open (better yet Sydney) we gotta make sure we do the right thing.

On rollercoasters a block zone is a section of ride that only one train may occupy at a time. At the end of a block zone there is a method to stop the train, in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents rollercoaster trains from colliding with one another. Hope this helps.

Another delay was bound to happen. When an estimated 70% of the Sydney population can't understand stay at home orders it was bound to happen.

Really? Can't appreciate something new for what it will deliver?.

Appreciate the photos, I just hope you are a local however out on a walk due to all the current covid restrictions in Sydney.

Oh no, here we go again 😉 I think it's PCL

Another copy and paste, possibly with speculation.

Obviously, but with recent changes in QLD in regards to amusement rides inspections are much more comprehensive for machines over 10 years. I'm sure most do the right thing. I assume it's more a case of checking repairs and major bearings, gears and electronics and locking mechanisms

Correct, the guild is actively working on a solution. I think you'll find the EKKA will be alright tho. Many shows/fairs are still going on around the country. The one thing that might be a slight issue for the EKKA is the new introduction in Queensland of rides requiring 10-year inspections now. So essentially a pull-apart inspect and rebuilt.

It's affected many companies already. From my understand the Sydney Easter show was the major last event under the old scheme. The showman's guild is actively working on a solution with ALLARA

Chuck the train on the rail and be done with it.

I know some are wondering about the queue line. I believe the exit and entry will be completely different points. The current stairs entry/exit will strictly become the exit I reckon. To minimise queuing within the midway. Within the dodge car building is a staff access pathway and at the back wall a bunch of stairs that lead o the rooftop. They might use this as the entrance queue with the exit coming straight from the station and down the normal stairs. Also interesting to see the traverse track has moved since the concept artwork. For picture reference, the red circle is stairs and yellow shows the pathway at ground level. Photo credit @DaptoFunlandGuy

Few small pics. More work for BD 3.0 has occurred.

Nice photos. Thank you for this update.

That's if they open them. They might decide to keep them closed during Big Dipper construction.
