New flatride at best is what we can hope for

Yeah or we can talk about new ride signs if they appear lol 😂

Accounts are semi annual produced so we will have decembers . in the notes to financial accounts you will see acquisition of plant and equipment in segment information . It will give you a good idea if track over periods of time. there is also a breakdown of pp&e in the notes that break out what’s construction in progress vs what’s not so can split it out . It’s under major rides and attractions column to breakout in more detail .

The accounts when released for year end will tell us more on that but you would be not be a good treasurer of a company if you paid for a product not received / not close to use in full . if the ride companies involved in commissioning then I doubt they get fully paid until it’s done.

Deposit maybe but you don’t receive until paid . Def not well and truly paid for . I look forward to seeing end of year accounts when published to show this if you need. If ordered correctly and not last minute it would be done just in time and with payments at staged intervals . Not 11 months in advance with full payment . They don’t need it yet .

I’m going to say wrong here. No maybe about it . Parts for gold coaster . Also why would they get this early. No point outlaying the cash for the ride until you’re ready to take delivery . Working capital management 101 and the theme park isn’t flush with cash to pay for early !

They did start in that lazy river Didn’t they ? I would love it . It could be another crowd pleaser if well themed surely and cost would be a fraction of a new ride ?

Perfect time to do sale .. they need them when it’s closed for the next season

Probably stayed low and will be a bit lower for some time yet then what they should be to keep driving post recovery traffic through . Everything is up . Small increases warranted and if don’t work out perhaps they can have a sale closer to eofy .

Agreed my experience was lower pay than min wage . Did it because I liked the culture and seeing people happy but financially wasn’t the best move during my time. Was a while ago and doubt has changed .

Dreamworlds EBA is circa the same

That’s what happens when 64 percent of circa 1.5 m package is bonus related . Incentivised to do so

It may have something to do with vrl owner/ management team being private equity now vs an asx listed company where one person is ceo of both the theme park and the company ( hence has more ability to make own decisions and more control ) . Also mentioned in opening that was organising and event out of hours for contributors to project .

Yes agreed. If they don’t then we won’t see further progress. Cash doesn’t grow on trees unfortunately.

That is disclosed in coast entertainments financial report . Already granted . This is a step in right direction but still a long way to go to get the business in better shape .

Smart offering by the river at right price point. Not captive theme park pricing . Bound to be successful on this if food is good and may encourage more passholders to visit for lunch and a ride . The Parma looks like a Parma so that’s a good start . small detail but the table numbers could have been themed . Got the generic metal pole and bingo label

Looks great . Is there any safety mechanisms in this ride despite a manual shut off one by one. For example sensors to avoid collisions to cars or if someone slipped their seat belt and got on to track with a young person behind continuing to accelerate ?

Was it at last minute ? Don’t think so . Perhaps in tighter timeframe.

Speculation re ride vehicle but agree . One vehicle alone would not stop a reopening . They wont bother given other damage. Sad ending to the historical cars . I have no nostalgia for the current track in its location . Only the cars and their sound as you accelerate . The track at new location could never compete with the old one, which moto coaster took over. I recall the characters that randomly appeared at times on it before the 2000s ( convicts / police and even Goldie the clown at times ) . Created a good vibe . One day a car broke down in the track . My father restarted it ( was like a motor mower ) as the younger operator struggled ) . Good memories.

It’s being replaced with new version and not removed . If it was a decision based on cash alone I don’t think they would bother either . Is it there last original attraction? I’m guessing they see it as being upgraded / replaced so that may play into it re the old version not coming back now .

Surely if they are true to attempting rebrand to nostalgia they will allow a last hurrah with these cars ! Will never see them again in operation . just have to remove the damaged roof .

Yeah .. I don’t think it’s the power . More likely that and filtering etc . Explains wnw at same time which they openly say

I would think it’s on same grid external . Could be an internal issue but i wonder if it has something to do with getting all resources to focus on dreamworld safety testing but they just don’t want to say it ! .

Does it make sense ? Power outage at whitewater world ? But dreamworld no issue ?

Well if it quacks like a duck.. no it looks like a strap but it is not consistently elsewhere . Appears temporary and should have been removed prior to opening . Time will tell if it disappears…
