Pink is definitely not Wonder Woman, that colour is not linked to her at all. its gotta either be a Joker Coaster and the part itself is more purple than pink, and there will be green sections to come with it... or .... i have nothing...

I wonder if the AA lift hill climb is accessible as part of the star tour if it's raining, as predicted pretty much every day for the next 2 weeks. Hope so for you sake @GC Theme Parks but the OHS hat on my head says "let's just show them inside JL instead..."

Thanks for the reply, but you're inherently wrong in what you have said And thanks @djrappa for saving me typing as to why, as you already have done it for me!

Couple of updated shots of TI stage 2

Important to note @GC Theme Parks, that VTP has not be withholding Sunday penalty rates. There EBA stated that there is no penalty rates for workers, as has been a long stance. Workers were not entitled to these, so therefore they were not withheld. That they may change that stance and their EBA in the future due to concerns of the union or feedback from their staff is another matter. The agreement to payback staff the difference to the award for the past 18 or so months is also a more token gesture to get the union off their back. If their EBA clearly states the pay rates, And was approved (which it has to have been to be in place) then nothing they have done is illegal.

Where is this admission you speak of? That's a pretty big claim and would lead to extreme fines (multi million dollar) and sanctions for management (potential imprisonment). It would also be a leading newstory. proof to your claim would be appreciated @GC Theme Parks

In salaried positioned penalties are included in the makeup of your annual salary. I don't get paid extra whether I work every public holiday or none, work past midnight everyday or never, that's the life of a salaried worker as opposed to a wages paid employee

Depends on the award and if the company has an EBA. When I was managing an entertainment venue, I was amazed when I was hired that the EBA that frontline non-management staff operated under gave them no penalty rates at all (no Sundays, not even public holidays)

Sticking to a timeline me thinks. If it was built last week, they'd not have anything to do underneath it this week anyways....

Thought I was going crazy as I was certain it did run backwards. The Tassie Devil was my favourite flat at Wonderland and I was starting to question if the nostalgia was clouding my memory! thanks for the confirmation @AlexB

If they need to basically re-do the entire ride system then there is no excuse not to go all out and go through with the long rumoured & oft-spoken idea for the Worlds Largest Churro. The new gondolas can be themed as globs of caramel falling/dripping down the side, in fact That would almost be the most coherent ride theming in the park....

I heard they were overturned and undercooked maybe we should have a protest....

We'll talk about the awesome attraction coming to SW in 2027...

That really s**ts me tbh... so you are just completely overstating it, exaggerating, and for what reason? Next minute, "sorry i was bored in the queue, so the 20mins felt like 2 hours"....

Something must have been going on for the wait to be that long. Unless the queue was down past Tiger Island. I don't think I've waited over an hour for ToT in a decade

2 hours for TOT? Did it break down while you were in the queue???

For a second there I was wondering how/why you were in the croc enclosure looking out at the park guests.

Fair enough, certainly wasn't the case though. Should have made it more clear. Not my issue to push, I'm not in the industry and as a retail manager I have enough problems dealing with the Retail Workers Union without worrying about other unions and industries pay conditions

Not posted as propaganda or political in nature @djrappa was posted to a GC community FB page this morning, and as relative to our parks, I posted it. Was not a rally cry for protestors, and surely my firmly tongue in cheek statements about free bbqs and it being a hoot were clear evidence of that.

Free BBQ this weekend in the Movieworld carpark. Sounds like it will be a hoot.. *Edit* for clarity, the below is quoted text, not my own opinion (of which I have none on this matter as it doesn't effect me) The AWU will be holding a mass rally and BBQ out the front of Movie World on Saturday 18 March to protest Village Roadshow Theme Parks (VRTP) gross underpayment of its workers. The Gold Coast's 2nd largest employer VRTP made profits in excess of 88 million during the 2015/2016 FY whilst knowingly offering their employees a dreadful workplace agreement that the AWU told them would not get approved. Adult wages as low as $18.55 with NO weekend penalty rates, disgraceful ! We say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Will you join us and support underpaid, undervalued and disrespected theme park workers.

Shade was always there if my memory serves me correctly.

AA has no second train. LW did however

Solid 8 year bump... as for being useful in answering your question, I have nothing. Tbh I don't even recall a song playing. The front of the queue? Or the front of the entrance?

It went backwards as far as I remember. The operators reasoning sounds ridiculous.

good find! and we have ourselves a basic layout too!
