With it due to open next month and no work on site except for pathways, id be saying it’s a “temporary” ride

Don’t think anyone said it was an issue...

Literally what you see in this picture costs more than the entirety of MW however...

I feel like I’ve missed something... tell me more about these doowackys you wear on AA that make gas??

Photos or it didn't happen.... 😂😂

Male Performer - Cyborg! Warner Bros. Movie World - Gold Coast, Australia Entertainment Division requires the talent of a Male Performer to play the role of Cyborg (jL52), you will Bring to life a Superhero that has long captivated the world! think you have what it takes apply and at http://careers.villageroadshow.com.au interesting choice for a new character, very keen to seen what the costume looks like. I’m hoping they tie an Aquaman character in with the movie coming out next month

Wouldn’t take 6 months to rewire an entire ride, let alone to untangle some wires, that is certainly not the issue.

Assets are assets when it comes to selling, so yes it does add $17 million (minus labour and clearing) to the park value, but it will also (hopefully) create an attendance lift, which also lifts valuation.

Reckon they should attach a slippery dip to the side of the stairs... would have to be a record breaker... that’ll get more people in...

Did find it interesting that VTP chose to only put MW and WnW on it. You’d think they had chosen SW over WnW

Pretty obvious it’s all about the $$ when the Income Tax space has the ITP logo on it which Is a national franchise and not GC relevant at all..

Can’t find an article now but there was last week when it released and it was on local news up here. Properties on the board that represent an entity/business are paid for, and the higher the profile (colour choice) the more it costs. I’m sure GC Tourism would have veto power over certain content (Im sure Hollywood Showgirls would have put forward a great business case and had plenty of cash to splash...) a certain number would be assigned by GC Tourism such as Mt Tamborine

You think they are going to move the stuff from the maintenance yard/graveyard into the carpark? In full public view and just before the busiest time of the season?

The guy said the other night it was a temporary ride but I was hoping he misunderstood, maybe not...

100% paid spots on the board... or “marketing investments” so to speak

Here is an interview with the Marketing manager who appears to be a total dork... I’m not sure why he is doing the press meeting with a hard hat on when he’s clearly well outside the construction envelope, and if he mentions It’s the first in the Southern Hemisphere one more time you could turn it into a drinking game... https://www.facebook.com/840702249361798/posts/1882476068517739/

Wonder how much it cost them to put themselves on the board... quite a lot I imagine

Someone tell them if you turn the tap to the left it comes out stronger... a plumber will charge you $400 for that pearl of wisdom.. #problemsolved

Just drove past and it was too hard to get a photo from the highway but a large portion of the WWW side of the carpark has been blocked off... nothing within the area to indicate what it’s for

I try, I really do, but comments like that make it hard... a ‘mere’ coaster?? you mean the biggest drawcards at any park for their major target demographic? Unfortunately you don’t fit the major target demographic Push... we will never get another Bermuda style ride at SW, the shed/studio is utilised by storm and they are not building another You’ve totally lost me on that one... I don’t think I could disagree more.

It’s a Graveyard for where Dreams go to die....

I’m sure we’ve discussed this before - Universal very clearly owns the theme parks rights to Harry Potter

Ferry terminals will be all over the broadwater, out to Carrara and Nerang river

So some “take it with a dose of skepticism” gossip.. i hired a guy at work recently, and was working with him last night and got chatting to him about his family etc as you do... after a bit of chat it came out that his son worked at SW. We had a bit of a general chat about SW, lack of new and replacement rides etc and he proceeded to tell me about info his son was telling him the other day. - Sea Jellies opened prematurely to what they wanted, and is still a work in progress. Fit out was ready to hit the original launch date but they have struggled to find jellyfish to put in the exhibit and this still continues, they are also not happy with the lighting and want to improve it. - a “carnival style swinging ride” is opening next year (well we knew that.. but I didn’t let on) - there is a major ride with a very large investment set for 2020 and it will be a coaster. The “manager” recently visited the US to see options and was apparently very excited and said if he got his way, it would be a woodie. Take that as you will, but hopefully as a glimmer of hope for SW’s future ride offerings...

Why spend money on facelifts for rides that don’t operate?
