I love it! Effective, cost friendly, gets people talking!

There's been no official announcement, but ratings have fallen sharply this year, whereas the previous 2 seasons had the best ratings the show had ever had. I've always liked the show, but haven't stopped watching it after 2 weeks as this years housemates are just plain boring. Still doubt it's cancelling will result in anything happening to blue lagoon

And you certainly didn't go behind the big brother house, or even within 200m of it

On a sombre note, thoughts & prayers for the family & friends of the Movieworld employee who was killed in a car accident leaving the park yesterday afternoon... I know some of you do/have worked at the park and would likely know her

Looks great to me

Whilst I'm sure you're correct, I'd bet some would have said the same regarding Eureka when it closed..

Funnily enough the water looked pretty damned clear today, ducks & turtles looked fine to me!

So the answer was, not busy really. Arrived at WWW at 10:15 concerned I wouldn't get a shady seat anywhere given it was already about 32 degrees. Got on, no problem getting a 4 deck chairs at Wiggle Bay. Max 15-20min wait for any slide, most slides 5min waits by 3pm. Headed into DW at about 1pm, 5min wait times for Tailspin, Wipeout running half full. Buzzsaw 10mins, TOT 15. Carpark never got above about 60% full.

That's the most ridiculous ranking I've ever seen. Aussie world & jambaroo above SeaWorld, now come-on... Also where in MW is Diagon Alley? Haha

Coomera set for 39-41 degrees Saturday & sunday. Gonna be a scorcher. 55km of gridlock heading to the coast from Brisbane. I wouldn't bother! Haha

There is just too many factors - Zoning, local govt opinion, greenies, the fact it falls between 4 council areas means 4 major hoops to jump thru rather than one.

Zero chance of that occurring.

Claw was running today Wipeout was down though, not sure if it was scheduled as seems fairly soon to be back under maintenance. Water was drained, cherry picker being used. Ride was on the diagonal, seemed to be working on the left support/gear

Gees, don't be so descriptive in the future...

VIP passes always expire in June. I think around march/April they sell passes through to the following June.

Our SW never has had orcas. Nothing to do with BF, which was only made a couple years back, and is really just contrived, agenda-driven propaganda

Lol. Who told you that? Given only world leaders attend G20 - are you stating that one of our world leaders was in fact a terrorist? Haha. If you are referring to the recent 'terror raids' across the country, they had nothing to do with the G20 and more to do with foiling plans for ISIL extremists wanting notoriety and public shows of power.

Completely untrue..

Terrorists?? Haha. With all the security on hand, I'd say it's the least most likely time for terrorist activity in Brisbane. It's also only a long weekend for people who work in the Brisbane CBD, if you work outside the exclusion zone, you still have to work!

No rain at the theme parks today at all. Chance of a storm this evening. Same thing they said last night on the forecast. Not sure what you listen to... Gotta remember when they give Gold Coast weather, they are referring to the seaway/southport/beaches. Oxenford/Coomera gets a lot less precipitation. But given you are now the official Parks weather advisor, I'll leave future posts to yourself

I think the point reanimated was getting at was that your now cancelled trip had never been mentioned or discussed in this thread previously, hence informing us you were no longer going on this trip was fairly irrelevant. It's like a mate telling you he can't come round for a beer when you hadn't invited him anyway...

If superman is running 2 trains, I'd do AA first, then Superman. If you are there by 9:30 for a 10am open you'll have them both done by 10:30. In fact is comfortably say you'd have those 4 done by 11:30 at the latest even on a busy day.

Well there is not historical data to compare or analyse against. Any response will be pure guess work. Brisbane workers get a long weekend, so I guess it's plausible that some may head down the coast, but I don't think there will be an obvious or noticeable increase on say, this weeks attendance. Again, there's nothing to prove or disprove that, just an opinion

Don't disagree Alex, But raising the price by say $20, but then offering a discount off locker hire & food in park, in my opinion, would in most cases lead to reduced revenue for the park.

They're literally making jack all from the cost of a VIP, they rely on that subsequent in park spend be it on food/lockers/photos/games etc to get their cost per head/avg spend up.
