Clearly someone in the PR department has a lot of time on their hands...

Always seems popular. A lot more thrilling than it looks. The only ride I've been on that does make me feel I little woozy, I'm usually fine with spin n spews.

M9 uses delta strike and Laserforce, depending on the location.

The 'crappy' laser skirmish arena caters for a much bigger audience, and offers a genuine immersive experience. I'm fairly sure Laserforce is the supplier of the equipment (they supply the M9 guns at AMF & Kingpin - both Ardent owned so existing contract/relationship in place), but they wouldn't have paid DW, other way around

Whilst not technically Dreamworld, are you aware if the long delayed/rumoured second stage of White Water World may ever get the go ahead?

Well there is certainly no risk of you giving too much away from that post.

Claw needs a fresh lick of paint. I wouldn't classify that as a revamp. The day we are whinging about the garden outside a ride is the day every attraction is world class

Welcome Skyra! Inside goss on the other planned 'refresh'?? (Know you can't out say it, but maybe tell us what it's not and we'll narrow it down!)

Don't disagree with anything you've said AlexB. Jacob, if you'd like to discuss further send me a PM. Happy for a mod to delete the prior comments Back to normal transmissions.

To be honest if your family is shouting you the trip, accomodation and tickets to 1 park, how bout paying your way into the other one?? I'm assuming you're in the 'three in their 20's group'. Just saying...

Believe you're correct Jordan. I've just popped into MW, batman anniversary banners down the sides of the entry arch, some quality 75th anniversary merchandise in the DC store as well. You can win a holiday to the USA and visit the batman exhibit, as explained above, only it's not at MW it's in Hollywood

Umm, excuse me mate?? What are you talking about? Give me an example? Show me a time where I have been antagonistic? I'm i feel someone is wrong I'll tell them how i feel it is. I'm not rude, I don't betlittle people. I request you remove that ridiculous comment unless you can give me some specific examples. If a 'community leader' had an opinion on the matter and verbalised I'd certainly listen, but I honestly have no clue what you are referring to. If you can't handle some healthy debate or conversation when someone disagrees with your opinion (which I can't even recall engaging in with yourself) then I suggest the problem is yours and you need to deal with that issue rather than deflect it onto others.

Weird that they didn't mention that in their Facebook post today regarding the Anniversary and what's going on. Where do you hear that information?

Forgot about the drowning. Don't believe the person stabbed passed away but could be wrong. No deaths at Gold Coast theme parks

Unsafe how exactly? Are you saying DW operated an unsafe ride?

Don't think that was the real reason Gary. They would have just trimmed surrounding trees to stop it happening again

Being useless?

Would be terrible if SW got it. Why would they replace a 32 year old ride with a 26 year old one that realistically would be the worst roller coaster on the coast. Can really see a marketing campaign for that one.. Adventure or Aussie World perhaps

Gary - no one ever died on the chairlift. Where did you get that from?? Only theme park deaths (not including carnivals) I'm aware of in Australia is the Ghost Train Fire at Luna Park Sydney.

Well clearly I am wrong then, I don't propose to know everything about the situation, thanks for the extra info. I just hope we are never in the situation to have to deal with such an tragedy in Australia (yes I know we've had deaths previously, but not in recent times).

Not getting my back up djrappa. I said buy the direction of media. Surely even you would agree that Disney has the ability to influence media. I'm not saying to cover up a death, but to potentially minimise the damage, and ensure that positive news/articles in the weeks/months follow get good expose to in turn deflect negative public opinion?

If you are not interested in the topic, why bother posting about it? Seems simple to me.

Who said anything about the media hiding a death!!?! Talk about switching my words around. All I said was Disney due to its size and image would have a much better chance of overcoming the negativity associated with a death in park than the likes of DW. I commented that it was my opinion, and if you disagree that's fine.

I could be wrong, but Disney has a lot more media power, resources to put a strong media spin and buy the direction of certain media outlets & their stories. I'd hazard a guess that any ride on the Gold Coast or in Australia for that matter that a technical/mechanical issue (as opposed to operator error) directly caused a death would close down for good. Hopefully we don't have to ever see that happen, but that's my opinion.

I get that you are trying to be technical, but the ability of Disney to rise above in-park deaths is very different to DW's ability. Given we have mass hysteria in the media here when a ride breaks down or e-stops could you imagine if someone, multiple people were to die on the one ride?
