Why is it scummy? It’s offering a payment plan option, which for many is a legitimate way to fund what would be considered a luxury purchase in current high cost of living times.

Very good tie in

Think you’ve missed the entire intention and context of Dapto’s comment… or you haven’t watched Jurassic Park..

That was a long… time ago. But yes I clearly had overlooked it. And yes, onus is on me to check hours - but for all the reasons we say WWW should be open, DW should be open until 5

You can tell I’m not a usual Thursday visitor to DW, as only just became aware whilst here that the park closes at 4pm. Thought it was 5pm every day. That’s even more ridiculous than not having WWW open. The park is as busy today as a typical off-peak weekend

New/expanded section has opened on the left side of the island (currently no way through to Wildlife makes for a much larger area for the one tiger housed in there, and the tiger feeds are run here through the glass

Seems awfully over-reactionary. It wasn’t a component of your annual pass, and had no bearing on your use of it. it’s like Woolies announcing they won’t sell bbq chickens anymore and you refusing to ever buy groceries in the store again…

Definitely the case, I mean there will still be shows, but it will be back to standard off peak timing so less shows, less often Some rides will also go down for maintenance as it’s off peak (check the website for timings)

I do find this an interesting selling point on their current promo ..

haha - operations at our theme parks often fly in the face of this assertion

even if that is the case, it doesn't explain why it wasn't done earlier to be ready for now

According to the page only SE, GL and SDSC is closed which other rides are closed

And so ends the most underwhelming and poorly conceived and executed marketing tools in the history of Aussie theme parks….

Luna Park has also just been sold to an aussie pub group - Oscar Hotels. They'll be focusing on clearly the hospo potential of the site with restaurants etc

I think they've erred a little here by just taking the generic "public school finishing date" as their yardstick for opening 7 day operations. Whilst that may fair well in other terms, they are losing a shit tonne of potential business this time around with private and catholic schools all finishing last week, year 12 finished 4 weeks ago, and schoolies attendees on the GC. Unless a bunch of maintenance is being done Mon-Thu, 7 day operations 100% should have commenced from today

recall something similar, there was some magnetic function involved

With a HBO quality level tv series coming out 2026 through 2032, HP will be back at the top of the pop culture game. When your source material is of the quality of HP, you work really need to do anything beyond it

Wicked for all its greatness (both theatrically and cinematically) isn’t going to usurp HP. in saying that, if Wicked holds its own in coming weeks in what is a strong cinema market, and Part 2 lands just a strongly this time next year then a universal land of some sort dedicated to the wicked universe will certainly have demand and relevance The movie is a triumph.

Different studios which is why you won’t see Wicked merch at MW.

I mean it’s that what you want to extrapolate from that you are welcome. A month from today is Dec24th, so a Boxing Day opening would be “a month or so”. this interview may have been done over a week ago and only now published…

It doesn’t say biggest it says “Australia’s #1 water park”

Hopefully an indication as to what is to come

Plenty of rides survive beyond 20 years… they recent poured money into a station overhaul which wouldn’t have happened with planned retirement on the near horizon

Think thats a perfectly reasonable price tbh

We’ve previously seen Wednesday and I think Tuesdays added
