Haha can confirm it does as I was just about to add my 3 premier memberships to the app for the family, luckily I still had the confirmation/order email from 2 years ago or I wouldn’t have been able to as you need the order number not the pass number...

That is fantastic for The Claw! My son has been keen for 18 months but hasn’t been able to due to the age restriction!

But did you see any whales??

I’ll admit my knowledge on lighting isn’t strong and that’s great if what you say is possible in a theme park context. Does it need to just pass through the light, or is it a set duration that the the light must stay on the subject to kill the virus? That would be the key to how quick you could cycle I guess. And yes I realise skin cannot absorb, absolutely. I think mandatory sanitiser upon entering queue lines and on ride exit are the minimum.

1. There 100% is a need for more family water rides in our parks imo, especially at DW. 2. Money controls the media. You make the differences between what you are now building and TRRR, that this is manufactured by a leading international company and not an in-house job, what safety features are included. whilst I would envisage it happening medium term, the only reason not to do it is fear, and that’s never been a good emotion to heard successful decisions on...

every country seems to have a different interpretation around what kills the virus, the life cycle on surfaces, and the use of masks. Ive read material that states it survives hours on surfaces, and days on fabrics, and that temperatures don’t come into play in “naturally” killing the virus unless they are over 56 degrees and exposed for 15mins or more which won’t occur naturally anywhere. even medical grade UV exposure is harmful to humans, and I haven’t previous heard of its usage outside of health facilities as a means to kill the virus, especially in high traffic areas. Even if the cars were “hit” by light between unload and load, the ride ops would be exposed to it each time unless a custom room was built for this exposure to occur within Also not sure how we can say the virus is not transmitted by skin contact? If so why are we not allowed to shake hands, use utensils or equipment that is handled by multiple people? I think it’s 100% transmitted by droplets of the virus that get picked up on surfaces and then you touch your face, eat/drink and then basically ingest the virus.

A 40,000 capacity stadium can have 10,000 its 25% of max capacity. that rule however only applies to ticketed and SEATED events. The PM stressed the seated part and said festivals where people move around or change seats/stand will not be allowed to go ahead. will be interesting to see what they rule for theme parks specifically

I reckon I’ll be back within a couple of week of re-opening, especially if interstate borders have not opened given I know how under control the virus is in QLD.

No, that was just a ride.. Trolls Village was the most immersive area within Dreamworks despite being a temporary attraction, which in itself represents that it was well executed.

Hence why I raised it in my post. Allowing a private communication to stay published publicly on this forum doesn’t lend itself to parks being open and engaging.

For what it was I think the trolls Village was very well executed tbh...

Fair enough and doesn’t bother me, just wouldn’t be accepted on other forums I am a member of, albeit not theme park related ones...

Should people really be sharing posts from private, employee only Facebook groups on the forums? and who is to say this person (whose name is redacted) is telling the truth? I would take it with a grain of salt like anything else you hear..

Deep Orange for mine...

What was named orange first - the fruit or the colour?

I know covid-safe plans have been submitted and are awaiting approval. the afl wanted crowds this week and the QLD govt said no chance. Every industry/business has their plan assessed on its merits. just because a stadium is allowed some crowds doesn’t not mean an equal amount of people must be allowed in a theme park, and so on.

Don’t think any of the reports have been from official sources

Don’t know where you got that information from but completely wrong. Palaszczuk was clear in stating misinformation around stadium attendance existed, and that nothing is approved.

I’m not necessarily saying they need thousands, but that is what the parks have said they want before they will open. you are assuming everyone at the parks is permanent, many are casual so don’t get job keeper, and many would have found other jobs now. It’s not just flicking an employment switch, hence why the parks have said it will be 3-4 weeks after they get the approval before they can actually open again. There will be large costs associated with preparing the park for social distancing and enforcing it - and the cost of those measures will he factored into the break even point of guest numbers for viability. having been to PC many times, more than 80% of their guests are international tourists, and another 10% is school groups. None of those can happen. They wouldn’t get 50 in a day without those groups so it is not even worth them opening other than maybe on a weekend when you’ll get some locals. stadiums are a different beast entirely as they are having to open for the sport itself and the home team is paying its lease fee regardless of attendance. Very little of gate takings make it to the clubs themselves, that’s why sponsorship is so important.

The parks can not afford to open until thousands are allowed. Australia Zoo would be lucky to have 1000 in a day, especially during winter and without interstate and international tourists. They are not the same situation in the slightest as everyone in a zoo also isn’t sitting in the same seats and holding the same queue rails or ride restraints Vikings Revenge will never return.. that’s obvious. The monorail is good for transport but a punishment in summer.

That’s what that says...

Whilst that is correct, 2 of the last 3 people confirmed positive are thought to have been last in contact with someone infected 6-7 weeks prior. So either unconfirmed community transmission is occurring, or the incubation period can shift and is not the 2 week yardstick that was being used and can actually be closer to 2 months... either way, that’s a Massive concern when it comes to large gatherings

Won’t happen (Fright Nights, too early to make a call on White Christmas) You can fountain me all you like @Jay Jay The Jet Plane but I’d like to see you explain how by next month (when they would have to seriously ramp up prep and construction of mazes to be ready for October) they would have certainty that NO social distancing regulations will exist anymore come October. it won’t happen 7000 people holding shoulders and in queue lines like cattle with a dozen people per 4sqm instead of 1 ? Zero chance.

Unless they were going shuttering Up the park that wouldn’t happen. if they went into administration Someone would Buy them on the cheap and the coaster would remain.

That was on the cards even prior to covid-19..
