Well Screamworld Rides & Slides is on next Saturday so they could yet still incorporate something

Naa train line goes no-where near Maudsland/Guanaba, not sure what Roofs you're seeing but it's not from the pirate town they've built

Certainly can mate, one side is exposed whilst the other 3 are obscured by the containers The pirate village built in Maudsland is amazing as well, can't get very close anymore but still a great thing to check out

Who threw offensive comments at him?

Yeah no doubt would require a licensing agreement with Disney, but given MW is not in a competing market, surely some sort of arrangement could be nutted out, even if it was for a walk thru exhibit with props & costumes post-filming. Anyone interested in movies has to check out the black pearl they've build behind Westfields at Helensvale for filming on, surrounding by shipping containers ready for green screen. Quite a sight

Could we possibly see something tied into Pirates of the Carribean that begins filming next week on the backlot and around the GC?

Well strange things happen at the Bermuda Triangle...

Tomato or BBQ?

Yep - that's no surveying equipment, well not from the past 20 years anyway

Dippin' dots returning?

Comic book fanboys across the world are crying that someone thought Batman was a Marvel property

Awesome detail Richard, thanks!

Looks fairly correct to me reanimated

Yeah no Pirates at Dreamworld ever to my knowledge. Where was this pirate ship supposedly located? Tiger Island wasn't developed prior to it's current use. Think you may be confusing the bush ranger show and the sea world offering?

Signage is only required when there is exposed asbestos or the risk of being exposed to such. If the structure is sound then there is no - therefore no signage required. Any building with fibro built pre mid 80s would likely have asbestos, you don't see warnings on their entrances unless they are being renovated or demolished I never claimed the ride was closed due to asbestos, I don't believe that is true at all. I'm saying it may point to why it hasn't been demolished previously.

I think the knowledge I have about it is just fine thanks. Don't need to read a website or go to a seminar. What evidence do you have of the internal structure of the mountain collapsing ? I've seen none to suggest it has (or I doubt they would use it for storage) so why would there currently be an asbestos related issue? The issue will only arise when it is broken up in demolition. The only visible deterioration is the external fibreglass shell

Asbestos is only released when the fibre fabrics are crush or ruptured, ie, in demolition. The old Gold Coast Hospital is a case in point. It is needing to be demolished in segments to avoid asbestos effecting the surrounding area. It is absolutely riddled with it. Didn't stop tens of thousands of patients and staff being inside it before demo.

It wasn't the smoke aspect, it was the danger aspect. Unless you have a professional whipsman and a trained participant, someone's gonna lose an eye.

If it was financially plausible to just knock down the ride and facade, it probably would have happened already. It's been spoken about previously that the mountain is likely riddled with asbestos, and removal would be a very slow process which would likely involve closure of the surrounding areas during removal including Buzzsaw and the Rapids.

Understand what you are saying OceanGirl, and no doubt information trickles to frontline staff either formally or informally through management or techs etc. But strategic direction (we're not going to develop this parcel of land for x amount of time etc) would probably not be the type of info relevant to frontline staff.

Flicking a smoke out of a guys mouth. Seems like a PR disaster & workplace safety incident waiting to happen! Haha. Blacksmith shows, Yeh they are interesting for the right market, but again it would need to add value to the park to be implemented.

So to make what you are saying more plausible, reliable, maybe you should have said "my girlfriends friend's mum is a manager at VRTP and said..." Rather than "my girlfriends friends is a dancer and said..."

There is a heap of room the Wild West area, doubt they'd use the show stage, it's still used for fright nights Etv, but they could level some of the facades and theming to incorporate a new flat ride (because the long wished for woody seems like too big a stretch)

Somehow don't believe VRTP share their highly guarded future development plans with the dancers.

Looks like they're still growing rocks to me.
