Nothing gets past you!

I don’t know the full extent of it, but know the beastie & bush beast trains were acquired with a view for them to be on public show one day in the future along with other memorabilia.

Any light you can shed on this Alex? I know you may know more than you are allowed to share, but are we talking the long mooted wonderland museum, Site confirmation, DA lodgement?

So nothing to do with Xmas at all then...

Hey! That’s an acceptable study strategy in my book for ensuring maximum time is available for pool at the uni bar. Only failed me once in 3 years!

There is a Xmas light show at SW?

Well that explains a lot...

To the equally special guy down the front... I didn’t ask for someone to go down and take photos for me... If that’s what you took out of it what I said then there is no helping you..

Except his invisible source said it would never open, not open in a week... also the delayed opening date has already been posted and discussed in the maintenance thread

You really are all kinds of special... you know that, right?

Leaf litter causing a 1 week delay... ROFL.. Has anyone got a photo of the boats yet? Seem to be absent from the photos of the now filled channels I’ve seen...

Log Ride pushed back another week...

It’s been begging to be removed for 12 years!!

There an article in GCB about it and potential objections which was just posted online. unfortunately it’s behind a paywall and New Ltd must be smartening up as even using my regular google search trip it still won’t let me open it - maybe someone else will have some more luck...

^ pretty fair conclusion imo....

No rain forecast for SE QLD in the next 10 days. Should be sweet!

Removed tunnels retrofitted boats with upgraded safety features landscaping works completed printed new park maps with ride re-appearing media call announces ride will reopen next week THEN... ”oh, we overlooked that this water ride required a pump. Shut it down!”

My knee just isn’t up for jogging these days... I’m more of a leisurely stroll kinda guy...

i can unequivocally inform you that the VTP C&E (conference & event) Team do not share staff with the maintenance team... Starh (I know people go out of their way to spell kids names stupidly weird these days but this ones a stretch to imagine is real...) most certainly isn’t sitting at a desk in her business attire answering corporate enquiries and then interrupting a prospective client to get changed and run down and reset an e-stop on GL... i also heard that every public swimming pool in Australia is being closed down as it has a pump, and so did TRR....

What an absolute crock. I know it’s school holidays, but it’s only week 1 - surely you can’t be THAT bored already...

Yeah, the turn the lights ‘on’ but they were already on. They just turn them all off prior to the lighting. A few years back it was just general lighting until the countdown/ceremony.

Went along last night... my review... much the same as FN’s really. It’s a good night, you can’t REALLY complain, but it’s defintely gone a little stale. If it was your first time you’d love it, but as a 5th year veteran, it needs an injection of something new to bring the spark back. The only difference to last year was the ‘elf dress up’ pop up store, and the Rudolph 4D movie which is literally a made for tv Xmas special I remember watching about 25+ years ago as a kid. Other than that - no new floats, shows, anything. They’ve even cut costs by removing an actor out of the gingerbread man costume and literally skewering the costume up the Ass to make it stand up on the float.. the “lighting ceremony” of a few years back is sorely missed as it created a real wow moment - nowadays all the lights are already on when you walk in. Christmas buffet clearly the highlight. 6.5/10, with the honey baked ham, great crackling and a great dessert range bringing it up from a 5.

Nice little video (what is with that dudes Mo...) i like that it can be semi competitive with points etc, that makes it interesting for sure food looks great too

Terrible decision if that proves true... I hope it’s not

I’ve done backwards twice, one day run, and one night run. that’ll be it for me unless I have a mate up doing a first visit who wants to give it a run. im not usually a nauseous person on rides, but I was getting there by the end of the ride both times.
