MW has also announced extended hours over the peak season. 27th Dec - 16th Jan 9am to 6:30pm

That's some great news. So does ST go the weekend before, after or go head to head? Still reckon the 17th

Well it’s either a refurb or Lego has pulled out of the deal and it’s being repurposed.

A pro-vax radical refuses to have any association with un-vaxxed people, including their own family and friends, because they feel by their mere presence they’ll somehow be struck down and killed by a disease they are supposedly already vaccinated against.

Given it’s already been been bumped this thread is probably the best place for these. Lego store has been gutted and is getting a refurb (credit to DW Golden Years for pics)

There are crazies on any side of any argument or opinion. I think the radicals on the extreme end of either side are dangerous, but that’s just my opinion. if DW decides it will refund or “hold” pass expiry over until everyone is welcome, and VTP decides on a “too bad the T&Cs say….” then that’s their decision. It doesn’t mean I black list VTP for life. Everyone makes the best decision they feel for their own situation. I’d probably would have some impact on my brand loyalty but i don’t feel I am illogical and unable to separate business from personal decisions. I’ve already seen posts about protests at the theme park gates blocking entry on the 18th of Dec. That shit is nuts…

because some people are morons unfortunately. We live in a world where people think the person who manages the social media posts for a business is the CEO and sole decision maker and therefore they expect corporate level transparency

There are many venues that are not implicated by the government rules that are implementing their own restrictions. There is no government required restriction on accommodation. Paradise Resort, Binna Burra Lodge are 2 i am aware of.

And that is a good question - and i dont have the answer to that - maybe that is what is holding up the decision/announcement.

I have no doubt there is some way they can legally get away with not offering refunds. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. The good-will runs both ways. DW has a history of having no regard for rules or regulations when it comes to providing a safe environment for their guests and employees. Plenty of people continued to support them showing a fair share of goodwill themselves after they were responsible for killing people. you agree to the terms of conditions at the point of sale and those terms are in effect for the duration of the contract. Amendment to those terms requires agreement from both parties. I'd be happy to have them raise my annual pass by $25 if they opened a bunch of new attractions, as long as i get an equal discount when half their attractions are closed which is a situation they operate in far more frequently.

Maybe we should rename you Hitler? or Stalin? Even the PM came out today and said unvaccinated people should not be stopped from attending anywherer anymore and the states are overreaching and overexerting power that is unnecessary. No different to how if i had booked accommodation these holidays at one of a number of hotels that have no decided to implement a vax rule that i am entitled to a full refund as i was not made aware of that at the time of booking.

If you were aware of those entry requirements at the time of purchase, sure. But there was no entry requirement regarding being vaccinated when tickets were purchased.

Does look an interesting concept. The AA replacement plans are already done though - it’s just about timelines now with covid delays and the flow on effect on revenue

I made a statement as to a contributing factor to needing new staff being the vax mandates. I didn’t say the vax mandates are the only reason they need new staff. every day for the last few weeks AP in her press conferences has consistently stated the GC vax levels are not good enough, and earlier this week went as far as to specifically name northern GC suburbs as a problem area. Mate I get it, you have a differing opinion to me. That doesn’t bother me, it shouldn’t bother you either.

Technical I’d agree from what I have seen as they have little to no choice - I’m talking artists, emcees, comedians, actors, presenters

Put me down for Official opening Sat 18th Dec

Really looking forward to this!

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

Nice upload by DW
