I didn't say or didn't imply it was the only reason, but that it would certainly be a contributing factor. You've just decided to take a negative implication to my statement as you disagree with it. I work in hospitality/entertainment, 95% of contractors who work for me are between 20 and 35 - and as of the 17th of December i have to stand for 42% of my work base. Speaking to others in the entertainment arena - numbers are very similar. Absolutely and that was my point. 10% of a 800+ person workforce is a large number. i think 10% may be underplaying it. there is still over 900,000 people in Qld who have no had a single covid vax - its you estimate that those people are equivalently spread based on population densities - the biggest majority would be in SE QLD.

Nice try what? The state average is just that, an average. When you consider the +60yo demographic is around the 90% mark, you can average that the young adult demo is quite below the overall state mark, and that has been confirmed multiple times - the 19-39 age bracket has lowest %, the Gold Coast one of the lowest rates in SE Qld, and the northern GC the lowest of the GC region.

A GCB article today on developments on the northern GC included this, and it’s not the first time they’ve mentioned it: “Wet’n’Wild is to build the world’s longest water slide (130m).” 130m would certainly not be the longest water slide in the world, not by a long shot Any idea why they keep peddling this info out?

Lot of people being stood down in 4 weeks, they have a heap of roles in fill and not much time to do it

Everyone One of the strangest comments I have ever read on here.

Wasn’t space probe sent to Malaysia but never constructed ??

Dingo's and babies rarely go well together...

I’m not here to argue, to each their own. I’d happily sit down and have a beer with anyone, vaccinated or not.

That’s because they’ve managed the situation pathetically for 18 months. They’ve been locked up more than any place in the world, so of course getting some freedoms make them happy. In Qld we’ve basically had nothing of note - hence the comment we move backwards while others go forwards. From mid December in Sydney there is no different rules whether vaxxed or not

I'm not interested in the covid vaccine debate in terms of choice - but it's a choice. As a vaccinated person you are just as likely to get covid from a vaccinated person than from a non-vaccinated. You are mingling with unvaxxed people every day now, and will be until the 17th. In my opinion its a giant crock of shit. You are all entitled to your opinions, i respect them, but i personally disagree with segregating society and moving backwards as a state.

As of 17th December, you must be fully vaccinated to enter a theme park. This will no doubt affect attendance at the parks in the summer holidays, and take some of the oomph out of the ST launch, as well as the new slides at WnW. It will be interesting to see how the parks deal with annual pass holders who will no longer be able to attend, as well as people who have already booked White Christmas tickets and can no longer attend. Refunds will have to be issued I assume. there is also likely to be a rush on pre-December 17 event nights

About 50% done

Good to see the buffet is back this year, but hell the prices have jumped. $72 for adults and $38 for kids. Yes you get a free beer/wine on arrival, but a lot of people don’t drink and it includes unlimited soft drink already. everyone getting a dc character Xmas hat also isn’t too appealing. I guess it may keep numbers down which will allow it to be managed more easily, just disappointing imo

Thanks Gazza - yes gangway is what i meant. No idea where i got galleyway from...

Figured I’d stop for a couple of snaps on the way back north. Top section of the galley-way and the turn into the inversion looking likely to be next removed

Passenger photo as we just whizzed pass

For the project to be ready to launch late 2022, imo there would have to be site works in preparation and underway by Easter

AA replacement site prep will need to be well underway by Easter, so unless they are going to do the un-VTP thing and start works before an announcement, I reckon we might see an announcement prior to Leviathan getting riders

I could be wrong, but i don't believe they run on Christmas Eve.

It's a shame the AA replacement isn't underway, or at least the pull down having begun, just because the buzz of activity and seeing the area being prepped creates excitement. If plans haven't changed since i last saw, and they can get it ready for a late 2022 opening, then i think the one-two-three punch of Leviathan, Trident (i reckon we may see this pushed back later than Easter to spread out attractions) and then the AA replacement will more than satisfy the extra $$ for the passes

Drove past 20mins ago and they had cranes positioned either side of the heartline roll. Was driving so couldn't snap a photo but i'd assume if you went past now, that piece would now be removed.

Wearing a singlet - not allowed to ride

who the f**k would wear a jacket or hoodie on a waterslide?
