No idea what this is supposed to mean ..???..

Yes, yes it is.

I’m with Push on this one... JSD is very well themed for a kids car ride. Anyone saying otherwise is because they are downplaying it as it isn’t a ride for their demographic or because they are overly critical as it replaced LTRR..

The same reason any ride closes... the cost to maintain or repair is too prohibitive to continue operation.

No, no it’s not, it’s a bit hard to view a rollercoaster from old entry to LTRR, given it’s indoors. yes, it’s a staff office now

Just put a Cage around the chair... #simples

Sounds like a great idea to me... how much of the show building is currently utilised by JDS? Looks a significant portion or it only about 50%

Dunno where you guys find all these vomitters from... I’ve been going to theme parks for near on 27 years and have never seen someone vomit first hand on or after a ride

Alright.., we’ll lets just leave as a lot of people work, a lot of people don’t. Back to the topic at hand...

Well tradies are usually self employed, so they can choose, I’m yet to meet one who works between xmas and New Years, maybe your family members are smart and get everyone elses business. Lawyer - i’d consider that largely an essential service depending on which branch of law. My 2 brother-in-laws work in manufacturing - both plants/factories have a 2 week closure. I work in corporate hosting and event management and even we close except for 1 person manning the phones. Childcare? Never heard of any open in between Xmas and new year on the Gold Coast. Again, I’m sure you’d find one or two, but certainly not a majority or a standard. A lecturer? What educational institute runs classes between Xmas and new year?? None.

Maybe it’s due to there only being 1 train running? But literally just watched about 10 cycles plus mine and that’s how it was loaded

pretty much every non-essential/non-tourism, hospitality or retail industry closes down for 1-2 weeks - including most tradies and builders

At MW now and in the single rider queue currently for DCR. Interesting to note that regardless of the groups in the regular queue line - row 10 is always given to 2 people from the single rider queue.

I do read the whole article... I have also read approximately 20 published re-opening dates on rides this year at DW that have not been met. I have zero faith whatsoever that the entir structure will be gone. They basically have less than 2 weeks to get it done as it’s not gonna be touched between the 22nd Dec and January

And you think the mountain was an eyesore sitting there unused for a decade.... let’s hope we’re not now stuck looking at that terrible framework and ride out in the open for 3 years....

You can definitely spot the ride op on WWF, but was not aware of there being any on SDSC! I’ll have to keep my eyes open next tine 😉

Well.. 15 years ago the quality food options certainly weren’t what they are today... i always laugh when ‘celebrities’ complain about fans annoying them. Whilst they no doubt deserve a level of privacy and respect, no fans = no celebrity status

Seems strange to me - what is there to hate about filming on the coast? Not saying it isn’t true, but given every other actor who has filmed here has been nothing but complimentary it seems odd. IMDB tells me SMG was doing 2 weeks on 2 weeks off due to tv commitments, so I’d say it would have been the travel issue that she disliked other than the physical location

Whilst you could definitely argue that the space could have been better utilised in terms of multiple indoor attractions fitting in there - JDS is a well themed, enjoyable attraction for kids and allows parents to jump on with them. I think it’s a good attraction, and it’s always popular basing it off the queue lines. I dunno if it was designed to bring new guests to the park, moreso to entertain the ones already in the park - much like any rides aimed for that demographic

Ehh... leave it in a backpack. I’ve never had a problem at the beach or at a water park.

Thanks scoop, even my 5 year old understands sarcasm... You realise you are arguing with ride ops that have worked at MW on WWF, yeah?

I heard they were demolishing the mountain so they have full visibility at all times...

Summer & school holidays on the GC and we only have one operational water-based ride outside of the water parks. Craziness...

Could be wrong, but I doubt many Chinese people come to Australia to eat Chinese food... Theyd be more likely to try and enjoy more local cuisine and flavours. I wouldn’t go to China and look for a place with sausage Sanga’s and vegemite toast...

I’m sure we had the locals pricing conversation a page or 2 back.
