Must have walked past them 2 or 3 times throughout the night. Once right on opening out the front of Roxy, another time on the walkway down towards WB Kids. It's was more impromptu performing though

Didn't see the performance before the parade but saw those guys doing roving performances throughout the night

Was an awesome night! Much improved on last year imo.. left bang on 9pm and was out of the carpark within 8mins. Think traffic controllers were doing really well! didnt watch Dami, used the time to hit rides. great to get a ride of GL at night, hasn't managed that previously. Still no sound (0 from 19)

Apologies mate, link didn't show in your post on my mobile, just a blank text box.

Wasn't asking you but cheers for the hospitality Thanks mate!

Any chance you can private message me the link to the website, not sure why I didn't get the email given I have an unlimited membership and tickets to this weekend

Huh! They didn't send one to me! Asses! How does it work??

Don't believe it is on this weekend

is that all? Icebergs just don't pack the punch that they used to..

Well it's better than drinking alone. By any chance did you put bread in his jar? First world problems...

Admittedly, Gotham City Cafe has been there for decades.. And does have Gotham City Hall next to it, and the Batmobile. When this was put in place, the only DC property in the park was Batman Adventure.

Half the cinema going public are female. Nothing wrong with female leads in previously male dominant franchises.

A couple of other news feeds have posted the story today, but I'm reading a lot of comments saying the guy had a disability, and his carer who was at the park with him did not go on the ride with him

Local radio up here also stating 'indefinite closure' whilst Workplace Safety investigates

You are a moron if you are getting on a Segway when pregnant, and to top it off, on sand. Hope her baby is ok, as for her...

Wouldn't be making a call about the quality of work when you are looking at a far from finished product. Like judging what the finished quality of a house will be when all you are looking at is the slab..

Saved me asking Joz.. I love bacon, but have never heard of millionaires bacon..

Umm... Wtf?

Razz the majority of food offerings are listed on the Carnivale website

So a few points: * by 'last minute' do you mean some timing issues and operational things were a little off? It's opening night, that's pretty common, even on FNs. * you expected it to take a different track? Like where? * too busy? Again, it's opening night.. What did u expect? * why is White Christmas a joke? I think it's an extremely well executed family event. You are literally the only person I've ever heard criticise the event. * I doubt it's gonna get less busy with the artists playing each night a higher profile and caliber that those this evening, and the next 2 weekends being long weekends * from all the photos and videos I've seen on social media tonight I'd say they've lifted the game with entertainment. Keen to know why you feel it's slipping?

You are looking at inflated food van prices (if you've been to Eat Street or NightQuarter), add a few bucks on to the prices. pizza wasn't $14 a slice but think it was $9-$10.

Or where they'd get the money from ??

Definitely makes sense! my childhood years was visits to the parks every couple of years when we came to Qld on holidays from Sydney. now having lived on the GC for 11 years and visiting a park every week or so, it does dilute the experience, and the enjoyment I get comes from watching my son's excitement every time he meets a character or conquers a new ride. Experiencing it through his eyes is what brings back that nostalgia for me from my childhood visits. In saying that, 90% of my park visits are just myself and my son, so for the time being no thrill rides, so I still get that anticipation every few months when a mate comes up for a visit or we go in a group so I can hit up thrill rides

If you can find them..

Cost is a major prohibitive to keeping old attractions running, case in point Eureka. We loved the Jamboree growing up, but kids these days wouldn't bat an eyelid at it, if it still existed it would be for the benefit of the adults who visited as kids. We miss the memories more than the attraction itself. space is another issue, sure DW has quite a bit of land, but the majority that isn't utilised isn't developed/cleared, so expanding go keep dilapidated and maintenance-heavy old attractions makes little sense I know you didn't use the nail in the coffin expression, but that was the impression I gathered from not just yours but others comments. im as sentimental and nostalgic as anyone about where our parks came from, their history etc, but the Dreamworld of old would have less visitation than Aussie World if it stood as it once was. The teenage-Young adult market is where the $$$ are and they want thrills a minute. The Dreamworld of 20 years ago barely catered to that market. The demographic of the GC has also changed dramatically, the style of passes offered match that young adult/family demographic. The old park is safe in our memories, where is likely much better served than if it actually still stood physically. As adults I think we'd have differing opinions of same attractions now days to what we thought of when we were younger. as I said earlier, I think we miss the memories more than the actual ride/attraction itself. The nostalgia of not being able to revisit those attractions make the memories stronger But that's what I mean... There isn't even a coffin, let alone a slammed shut one. The park is still an amazing all day experience. The relocation of the vintage cars is not that major, the disappointing element is that it's only open 2 days a week, meaning it's basically another SBNO suggestion for 80% of the year. It may as well not exist and then people wouldn't bring it up as an issue. No one without kids under 7 or 8 utilise it.
