I saw this on TV tonight and found the link to the article which you can click on: https://9now.nine.com.au/a-current-affair/tight-40cm-squeeze-delivers-blow-for-gold-coast-couples-dream-home/4ccb607e-b263-45c6-97d3-2b050a68c552 Moderators I am not sure if this is for the theme park forum or the chit-chat forum.

Thank you for the information unofficial DreamWorld spokesperson.

Another day.. another Dreamworld lawsuit

If the manufacturer had to redesign the very funnels that caused this injury because people were getting injured, I’d say pretty easily. -
DC Rivals HyperCoaster train stuck mid-course
Retardent replied to PoolGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
What is a reasonable excuse behind why that rollercoaster train continues to sit there? I can understand one or two days while equipment and procedures are checked but this is taking the mickey. Do you wonder if the same person who is in charge of the recent pattern of poor maintenance is also responsible for this train recovery dragging on? For that person, there is a large amount of incompetence on display with their name on it and everyone views it as they drive past DC Rivals Hypercoaster. -
Steel Taipan operating 4 hours on weekdays
Retardent replied to Brad2912's topic in Theme Park Discussion
If Steel Taipan is closed due to The Giant Drop refurbishment works then why is Motocoaster open considering that it is closer to The Giant Drop? -
Mystery Red Sea Container at Dreamworld
Retardent replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Considering how proactive Dreamworld are at ignoring Parkz, one has to consider how long it will take them to ignore this post and fix this website bug. -
Gary Weiss was behind the current facade. As of writing he has a majority stake in Ardent Leisure.

This response to worker opinions from management that are contrary to management's own opinions are how you end up with an international incident. To all enthusiasts: just because a CEO gave you the time of day, let you see a ride before it opened or says they have grand plans does not make them a successful CEO. If that were true, Bruce Jenkins would be Dreamworld's best CEO. It is common to see here in Australia and in North America that theme park fans often confuse pleasantries and performance as the same thing and worship the ground management walk on.

Good to see the river clean again. @themagician have they removed the dilapidated bush ranger outpost that was on that middle island near the farmyard friends attraction?

Present day leadership did not see any value in the indigenous program and are only interested in the most profitable animals. This is why Corroboree is no more (the team were made redundant or forced in to other departments) and only key animals are left. This is a great idea. I find the best first impression you can make is to hide your new ride's launch with a closed ride's abandoned building that was once part of the area that caused an international incident.

Are we starting to see the decline of VRTP?
Retardent replied to Vidgamer's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Actually, Dreamworld is turn of the century, meanwhile, Movie World is themed as a set which is not dissimilar to Universal's backlot, that is why there is big fake movie lights on top of the facades. If you were to apply the most literal idea of that premise, movie sets often have food trucks to feed crews. The showbag trailers are disconnected from everything else County Fair and look to sit opposite claw. By your own applied logic, Boost Juice is more at home than those gross showbag trailers. But am I wrong? Dreamworld apologists will decry Movie World for putting a food and beverage van where there's been food and beverage fans while they are also super silent on the above abomination. Speaking of abominations, that watermark. -

Tacky as f*ck showbag stall from some toothless Nerang redneck is NOT on brand for how they pitched the Spring Fair. https://www.dreamworld.com.au/what-s-on/spring-county-fair/ Tell me how is that on brand? I don't love the Boost Truck or where it's located in the park and neither have any place in a theme park but you have to do some serious mental gymnastics to pass off Dreamworld's over Movie World's. -
Rocky Hollow Log Ride Demolition - Dreamworld
Retardent replied to mssveattck's topic in Theme Park Discussion
A friend sent me this - this is a photographer that works for the park. What if it is a farmyard they are building?
