I more meant from a publicity standpoint. Ride removals = bad in the public’s eye. So if it was truly just demolishing already closed rides, i’d expect they wouldn’t want to announce it as they have.

Why would Village want to announce they are removing two rides if it's just demolishing already decommissioned rides though? And how is it obvious at all? There wasn't a mention that the rides are already closed.

I figured one was Arkham, but also possibly the Kiddie bounce ride in WB, or Tweety's Cages? They're both getting on in age by now?

Or the post was timed and was automatically posted on Monday.

No doubt my head will be ripped off for this but - Do you always have to be a smart ass when responding to people (or in general)?

Will the train actually get a repaint? There's a chance the stickers could just be removed and the rainbow-style could remain with @Smol bean's beloved logo on the front and back.

Interesting to see that they've brought back the $99 Annual passes. Smart move, I think. Buzzsaw and Sidewinder will be the only major rides closed upon re-opening.

I wonder how it will fair compared to Dreamworld's halloween event in the future. Considering Dreamworld's is probably better value, more to do etc.

Took me about 4 reads to understand exactly what is going on there, but i made it. While Sky Voyager is certainly a fantastic and well needed attraction for the park, there’s no denying that coasters draw in the crowds. That being said, i do think Sky Voyager was the correct investment at the time, and now that they’re stepping forward with Steel Taipan, that’s the big coaster which will draw in the crowds. Here’s hoping to a much brighter future - it’s certainly starting to look that way 🤞🏻

Must have missed it. Cheers 👍

I was referring to this post by @Brad2912.

All signs point to yes. Maintenance is continuing in the park, and as someone mentioned a few days ago in a different thread, staff have been given a tentative opening date of September 18th.

Thought you'd ask. I noticed some of the trees proposed for removal are in front of the ice cream parlour. I think it'll look incredibly bland if they're removed - they add a bit of character to the space.

The billabong station is to the left of the train, whereas at all other stations it is to the right. I would assume you could use both sides.

I've gotta agree, it is incredibly loud. Maybe your hearing isn't too good? Hence why it's not loud for you? 😜

Aren't parks also open to every other state except Victoria?

Wet n Wild is closed today due to 'Severe Weather'

I get the Giga Splash, Hot Racer and the Vertical LSM models, however the Ultra Splash is just a complete rip-off of Mack's PowerSplash. There is not any attempt at all to make it stand out, apart from the single rail concept (which is pretty pointless in a ride like this). Pretty lazy.

Do we actually know it's not going to be built though? It seems everyone is simply guessing.

That's actually quite hilarious. What are the restrictions for things like this? Is there an exemption for these staff members?

Maybe they'll have their rides open.

They are re-opening 15th of July, yeah? Only Constrictor and Aqua Racers will be open (in terms of slides). Yes, it’s winter, yes there won’t be many guests, so why bother opening at all? At this stage, there is no competition in the winter months between WnW and WWW (and we all know who the clear winner there is).

What a complete joke. I thought Movieworld was bad, but there will literally only be 2 slides open when you exclude the kids area. It begs the question, why even bother opening WnW?

It's the one time I'd agree with them, honestly.

Maybe they’ve fixed things up after the opening on Friday. There was definitely no sanitiser or cleaning of the rides after each cycle. Good to know they’ve pulled it together.
