I’d assume DW engaged licensed electrical contractors to complete wiring for SV, and given we are in Australia, I wouldn’t expect it prudent for DW to say “please ensure your work meets Australian standards”. That would simply be an implied expectation. Unless you are saying the electrical work on SV was an in-house job?

Doesn’t appear to be the government slow turn time in responses, it appears DW can’t provide the relevant paperwork and info

Fright Nights 2019
ONE of Movie World’s most popular attractions, the annual Halloween ‘Fright Night’, has a new bogeyman — the Gold Coast City Council. Movie World owner, Village Roadshow Theme Parks, is taking the council to court, accusing it of levying monstrous infrastructure charges on its Fright Night horror mazes. The mazes, where gruesome ghouls leap out of the darkness to terrify patrons, have been a Fright Night fixture for more than a decade at the Oxenford theme park. But the council has moved to impose new infrastructure charges on sheds which have been used to house the mazes since 2016. In a Planning and Environment Court appeal lodged earlier this month, VRTP argues the proposed charges are ‘so unreasonable that no reasonable relevant local government could have imposed the amount’. Lawyers for the theme park contend the mazes ‘place no extra demand on trunk infrastructure’. They argue the sheds are not connected to sewerage and the only water they use is for fire sprinklers. “There is no extra demand on the transport network, as there is no increase in attendees to Fright Nights as a consequence of the sheds,” the appeal states. VRTP argues the council has made an ‘error’ in classifying the infrastructure charges and they should be set aside. An initial hearing has been set down for this Friday. https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/queensland/movie-world-takes-gold-coast-city-council-to-court-over-halloween-levy/news-story/43082df56a43a0b8cca457766243bd70

Or... DW have built it on the cheap and cut corners to save $$$ resulting in a structurally or operationally inferior product to the other models around the world. They thought they’d get away with it, but have been called out on it and are struggling to fix it. If rumours about the issue being with the physical building as opposed to the actual ride mechanic itself - potentially ride clearance issues, emergency exits, fire safety etc, these may be things that can’t simply be resolved, or may not be able to be without removal of the ride system or redesign of the space...

The walls were always in place once they started construction, there was just gaps that made taking photos quite easy.

You could have just summed that whole paragraph up by just saying “I am a fool”. First you condescendingly accuse me of saying something I never said. Then you throw the old “well if you don’t like it, how about you do it better yourself” which is just moronic... if I don’t like the customer service on an airplane and make suggestions on how they could be better then I should what? Buy some planes and run my own airline?? Stupid.

Ok I’ll bite given the condescending “tone”... when did I ever mention anything about actors throwing dolls at guests? Whilst that sounds incredibly funny, far more entertaining than what MW has thrown up the last couple of years for FN, I don’t recall suggesting it...

Traveling fairs!
Tbh I have no idea if that’s part of it, travelling rides are not really my thing. Haven’t been to the EKKA in 13 years despite living 30 odd mins from Brisbane

Traveling fairs!
That could be due to the increased focus both regulatory and public on ride safety. Funhouses have less risk, less moving parts and therefore require less “work” and are accessible to a larger demographic

Fright Nights 2019
Are you seriously advocating they repeat Halloween? The “other” characters are just blood covered victims. There are no other characters, What different sets? Every Halloween involves people being murdered in a house. It’s not like one is in the forest, the next in space, the next in a prison, they are always in a house. Other than changing the decor in a room, it’s the same maze again.

Fright Nights 2019
It’s a different movie, but It’s the same characters and we all know they just repurpose the sets year on year so it would be the same maze. No thanks

Pretty sure that kitchen space is used to cater for the many corporate and private functions at Movie World. It couldn’t be removed or replaced by a franchised operations kitchen

Cheap Flights to Theme Parks
Given pricing is fluid and changes almost daily or based on demand, your best bet is to monitor the likes of webjet that compiles data from multiple airlines, find the cheapest and then book direct thru the airline

Dreamworld CEO promises two major announcements as Sky Voyager delays continue
I’d say the announcement will come around the time of their 18/19 full year Financial Results presentation which going off last year will be around mid-late August.
