  1. It is pretty close, this is right against the dingo enclosure fence
  2. This is what they look like for reference And here’s a construction update
  3. There are a lot of slide pieces at the back ready for install. Obviously there isn’t a way to tell, but I’d say most (if not all) the pieces have arrived. Concrete continues to be poured for the footings. Work is also being done on the toilet block at the back left
  4. Yeah they do, that’s why the backwards seats are always empty. Based off that, I don’t think it’s bad that the spinning seats are only on one train. If people are concerned about maintenance of the train, surely they can just do train maintenance during ride maintenance and then the spinning train will always be available? I would say the spinning train will be used most common (or for half the day and switch on quieter days). I don’t think we will see many days where the spinning train won’t be used
  5. On the drawings it does say there will be a covered photo kiosk wall. I imagine this is where you can view your ride photos and they may introduce a system where you can scan a wrist band or scan your pass/ticket
  6. Interestingly nothing is said anywhere that passes will be extended either and they seem to be ignoring those comments
  7. I don’t think they’d put the mazes outside. October is a very rainy month and the mazes will get ruined and won’t be useable during wet weather. I’d say they will only send you through with your group, rather than combing groups. Masks will absolutely be required and actors costumes and makeup will allow for this. The way scares are done will likely be different and as you suggested, some form of screening will probably be the solution. I don’t think we will see up close scares this time where actors follow you or get right up in your face. And we will probably see less street scare actors too because of this. There may also be less shows to reduce the amount of people close together. And they may reduce capacity further, which could see another price increase
  8. I’d say they are also thinking that there will be another lockdown and are holding off just in case
  9. Dreamworld and Topgolf reopen tomorrow. The rest of the VRTP won’t reopen until Friday, with reduced hours until the end of the month. All the parks will now be closing at 3:30pm every day.
  10. If you want to ride the BuzzSaw one last time, better get in quick because we could quickly head back into lockdown again
  11. @Park Addict 93 that could be the cafe they are constructing?
  12. That’s what I thought, but he also said this “We are very, very close to finishing. It will be a brand new, beautiful home for the meerkats… and it will be quite a unique experience for the Gold Coast.”
  13. From Bikash “We also have the brand new, tallest waterslide at Wet’n’Wild, obviously the Atlantis at Sea World with the Trident and the wooden coaster, and there are a whole bunch of things we have planned for when we re-open. You are in for a very big treat here Gold Coast.” Maybe the big treat is the AA replacement? https://www.mygc.com.au/watch-behind-the-scenes-with-village-roadshow-theme-parks-during-lockdown/
  14. “Mr Randhawa said despite the lockdown, they are still on track to deliver a number of new attractions in the coming months, including a new meerkat exhibit and café at Paradise Country.” It seems that the current exhibit for the meerkats is only temporary and a new area and cafe are coming https://www.mygc.com.au/watch-behind-the-scenes-with-village-roadshow-theme-parks-during-lockdown/
  15. I don’t think we will see DW buy second hand rides again. Based off them removing anything to old or unreliable, they’ll only be buying good quality attractions (that doesn’t mean a good experience attraction, but more so rides that are reliable)
  16. I’m expecting another week, maybe even two, just to be sure. We can’t have a NSW or Victoria incident occur
  17. Hopefully the park is allowed to reopen before the end of the month, otherwise there will be no more BuzzSaw
  18. When is it getting removed. I know there was talk years ago about it, but I thought that had been scrapped
  19. I can’t imagine the path I proposed would even cost that much more either. The GD entry is roughly at the same level as ST and the distance between isn’t that far either. There would be some steel works involved, but it isn’t a major span. I guess the other major cost would be the fencing and shelter to seperate guest moving through the area from the track, which does get low and tight at some points
  20. How I imagined they would link the paths is across where I have marked up. And if they did that, then it would be worth while and does cut out a fair distance
  21. @joz just let it all out and you’ll feel better
