Single rider isnt very effective on 2 seater rides anyway.

I mean that’s a pretty ignorant comment. Yes it sucks, but Blind Freddy can see that if it was possible to run the other train they would be. Something must be wrong with it. I don’t think any amount of reasonable planning was going to help the parks this weekend. Too much compounding crap from the last few years combining to screw them.

Well if I went to the park for the first time last year and then today I would feel superman was enhanced. Perhaps the marketing was targeted at that people and not those with a compulsion to be pedantic and needlessly post waffling definitions in a theme park forum 🤷‍♂️

I dunno, I’m all about money being spent to bring these things back to their glory. It may not be something to brag about but that is kinda marketing’s job.

It will of course be a chain link fence choses especially so kids can see the train.

I'd say that's growth in quality in my book

A bit of both, and TBH you do need both.

Well I think the incentive is to create grown in the business value, and then sell it to reap the cash reward. Now growth in value, and growth in the 'quality of theme park experience' are not necessarily the same thing, so I think it very much depends on the CEO's not financial goals as to what the incentive means to them, and by extension, the future of the park. If you have a CEO in there that's all about pocketing as much cash as possible and then spring boarding onto the next well appointed corporate gig, it's going to be grow value as fast is possible. But if you have a CEO that's actually pretty happy with the position they have, want to stay in it long term for the lifestyle and personal interest aspects that come with it (ie likes theme parks, wants to live on the Gold Coast, etc) we're more likely to see long term material improvement in the offering from the Theme Park. I can't speak to, and won't speculate the personal motivations of the current CEO, but I think the above factors will very much determine how we see thee companies new found cash is spent.

Its a federal election and this is a state based decision. And the target was always 90% so…

The ride will remain closed whilst they repair the dent in the roof

Yeah agree. Refreshing to see that garbage abandoned.

Ok that makes more sense. Obviously they are just QSC speakers, doesn’t have to be run from QSys. Even though in this case VRTP does in fact deploy QSys systems at all properties.

Entirely different management and projects departments? 🤷‍♂️ *please can no one write a 6 paragraph post about how some management are the same because you know that’s not my point.

I don't think anybody does care

Maybe they were hoping to reveal it as a surprise and didn’t expect some dumb subbie to go posting it for the gram

How does one see Qsys equipment installed from out in the park?

That’s pretty lame to post on 31st March

Such poor project management..: 😝 sorry couldn’t resist… just a joke

Saves power by slowing the chain but is still more efficient than stopping it completely.

My views 1) If you can see the white building from outside the park who cares 2) If you can see the white building from a couple obscure places or on the monorail who cares. We’ve been looking at that Bermuda show building for decades and also plenty of back of house from the monorail 3) I doubt you will see the show building from anywhere on the cue and also likely not on the ride either so that’s good. 4) I’m hopeful the places you may see it from say over by Nick it will be dressed with landscaping or something else to hide it. But also this might take a few years to grow in which is common. 5) I can very much appreciate everyone ma skepticism on this topic as there have been some VRTP fails or this nature in recent times. However for me personally I’ll wait to see the finished product before I endlessly debate the colour of the green beam.

All of the effects on the ride originally both inside and out were based on Steam. Because of regulations around boiler safety and upkeep the steam effects were decommissioned to remove the need to maintain a boiler. Because it was steam the first few shots of the outside effects usually resulting in some less than pleasant water spray before everything had come up to temperature.

Ok I’ll double down and say FOREIGN TRADE AND MATERIAL SHORTAGE and Shipping Delays of the crap the above things make. Exactly what theming type equipment is made in Australia? Hint, the answer is zero and just because my zero will get pedantically contradicted… the answer is more like 0.05% of it.

It 100% needs landscaping.

No of course it doesn’t. But it does call out the ‘only if it’s cheap and easy’ nature of their whole Nostalgia angle they are trying to run with. And that’s my point. Also FWIW in my opinion replacing one ugly fence with another ugly fence is no sort of improvement. I just wish mediocracy could stop being praised at every turn. Where then is the incentive to do better?

Lol if you lost money real estate in the last two years your an idiot. Don’t go blaming Luna Park.
