According to that it’s closed for maintenance and has been since Nov 22nd, yet I’m sure when i drove past earlier today there were people on it, and on the weekend just gone, and the one prior.

School holidays begin Thursday so yes it will be

Knowing this forum it was probably discussed in a thread about Sea Worlds Toilet blocks

Assuming Doomsday just isn’t opening at all until April then... long downtime DRC, even longer for RR

Vortex is testing. Cycle appears to be 48 seconds. Approx 5-6 flips per cycle

Jonah. Haha

Was a god awful movie. the character itself is actually pretty cool - but not mainstream enough to even consider including in a theme park

When I saw you post this I was at the park so rushed over to try and get some photos but by then they had people on 2 cherry pickers looking at 2 sections of the track

Maybe time for a name update for this thread given we know the official name? Just taken

The GP have no idea who is and isn’t a great monster truck company. They also have plans for following school holiday periods with Easter & winter fest. what makes them dodgy? Or are they just not your favourite? Dodgy implies not safe or poor practices Have also spoken to a staff member who said it will be held in the old staff car park that is no longer used. have to say I don’t know exactly where that area happens to be, she gestured towards the back of the park (corroboree area) but that was likely an orientation thing as I don’t think there is any land back that way

I’m sure it was quoted as being higher previously.

Not that I am aware of, but hey, I’ve been wrong before!

Train revealed Backwards seats confirmed!

I don’t think DW owes her a cent unless CCTV shows a stumbling and bleeding girl and her mother being ignored or palmed off by staff. If CCTV proves contradictory to the mothers account - DW should sue their asses off for slander and defamation. Completely stinks of trying to stick the boot in riding on the coattails of TRRR and hoping a public uproar will cause DW to settle large and fast.

Granted it’s still “off peak” but you can really feel the lack of rides today. thankfully the park is dead though (so it’s operationally understandable they’ve got a lot closed to be ready in 2 weeks) Still no seats on Doomsday Not sure if it’s been mentioned before but there is a hot dog stand in the Wild West area (obviously closed today)

New nightmare for Dreamworld after girl, 8, ‘badly injured’ A family trip to Dreamworld has become a nightmare after an 8-year-old girl allegedly suffered horrific internal injuries on a water slide. Dreamworld faces another massive lawsuit after an 8-year-old girl allegedly suffered horrific genital injuries on a water slide. The girl’s furious family has called in lawyers over the incident nine days ago which they say turned the water ‘red with blood’ and left her seriously injured in hospital needing two operations. They allege the theme park failed to warn of the dangers and botched its response, with lengthy delays in calling an ambulance and the first-aid room left unattended. The girl’s mother, a nurse, broke down yesterday as she recounted the incident at Dreamworld’s sister park WhiteWater World on November 22. The Logan woman, who wants to be known only as Sarah, said she and her family were visiting the parks after recently buying an annual pass. Her daughter was riding the Fully6 slide with her siblings when she emerged from the water bleeding and crying in pain. “She was just standing on the concrete, blood everywhere. I didn’t know where it was coming from, I was freaking out,” Sarah said. “The blood was just pouring out of her … she was crying ‘Mum, am I gonna die?’” Sarah said no staff were on hand to help, even as her daughter left bloody footprints as they made their way to first-aid. She claims a young male staffer pointed her to the first-aid room ‘and just walked off’. Sarah said the first-aid room was unattended, and with no phone to call the number on the door, she sent her 12-year-old daughter to ‘go and find someone’. She said the floor was ‘full of blood’ and she told a female staffer who arrived to call an ambulance. But Sarah claims the employee only rang the first-aid officer, who suggested the young girl was having her period. “I said, ‘she’s 8 years’ old … this is not her period,” Sarah said. “She’s crying, in pain, bleeding everywhere. They didn’t take it seriously.” Sarah said an ambulance finally arrived about an hour after the incident, and her daughter was taken to Logan Hospital where she underwent emergency surgery for a severe vaginal tear. Her recovery will take eight weeks and she cannot go back to school this year. “The doctors don’t know what long-term effects this could have on her,” Sarah said. Fully6 riders were told only to cross their legs and arms but there was no warning about the potential dangers of wearing swimsuits on the slide, Sarah said. She said the first-aid officer who rang to check on her daughter told her the park was short-staffed and security had not advised that it was an emergency. Sarah said she only took her family to Dreamworld because she believed safety problems that led to the 2016 Thunder River Rapids disaster, in which four tourists died, had been fixed. She has called in major litigation firm Shine Lawyers, which handled millions of dollars in successful compensation claims for the Thunder River Rapids tragedy, to investigate more potential legal action against Dreamworld. “I don’t care about the money … I just never want anyone else to go through this,” she said. Shine Lawyers solicitor Bree Smith said: “An 8-year-old girl has severe internal injuries from a slide at White Water World that she was permitted to ride. This cannot be happening.” “We simply couldn’t believe the extent of this young girl’s injuries when she had done everything requested of her before going down the slide,” Ms Smith said. “This water slide has a powerful water force and the only instruction given to the young girl was to ‘keep your arms and legs crossed.’ “In the wake of the damning inquest findings against Dreamworld, it is distressing to also hear how our client was treated when trying to get medical attention for her bleeding daughter.” A Dreamworld spokesman said the park had self-reported the incident to WorkSafe Queensland and was conducting its own investigation. In September, Dreamworld parent Ardent Leisure was fined $3.6 million after pleading guilty to workplace health and safety charges over the Thunder River Rapids ride catastrophe. https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/new-nightmare-for-dreamworld-after-girl-8-badly-injured/news-story/d1bcd3bd27bd671b52b0d9090a896dea my immediate thoughts are obviously with the girl, but I can’t comprehend the “no one around” comment. There is a staffer permanently at the bottom of the Fully 6 slides. If the water was red with blood and she was walking blood all over the place, I fail to see how that could be missed by multiple staff. Even the spotter/supervisor up on the tower surely would have noticed

Assume just general maintenance prior to peak period. It has been open post-COVID closures so it’s not a case of it being closed due to social distancing or touch points etc

Haha, I only look after the east coast and NT so it doesn’t fuss me what the rest of the country do. It’s mainly the nsw/QLD border that is a pain as we run events either side and having staff on either side and logistically it’s a nightmare from pretty much October to March

Don’t disagree, would make my job a hell of a lot easier only dealing with 1timezone.

Pretty sure we have enough daylights from 5am to 6:30pm every day at the moment
