Just because a contract states that stuff don’t HAVE to be paid doesn’t mean you can’t choose to pay them. If that’s a concern for closing it’s easy to remove and voluntarily pay staff.

Looks like all our parks are staying open given it’s only an advisory... I’d imagine things get changed to a full on ban pretty soon though.

Those are just the old speakers now stacked up on the ground instead of hung off the screen. Definitely totally wrong for that kind of space.

Well the poles in the plaza kinda hold the roof up so won’t be going anywhere soon... Cost of putting up and pulling down lighting trusses for every event would be far too cost prohibitive so they’ll stay too. As for white fixtures, ‘they’ did this at one point. But a lot of black crap has been hung in the roof years since.

Oh wow that looks about 1000 times better! Wow

Well all of the above is why I say it would be good if the middle screen was going. Because the side ones are in front of a bare concrete wall, so they don’t detract from jack squat. Main Street also has zero thematic cohesion to start with and hasn’t for a long time.

Disagree. You only need the screen for the parade is just a terribly designed ‘parade’ that is mostly show at daily planet. We’ve seen at white Christmas how a properly designed parade has no ‘feature point’ and the screen wasn’t needed at all. Opening up the facade would make for a much more attractive street and I hope it is removed. As for comments about the other screen and old tech and difficulty about connecting to it. I think that’s saying more about the skills of the people working the recent and less about the screen. It takes a standard 1080p signal over DVI. You can patch any scaler into it to input whatever you like so whoever is saying it’s difficult is telling porkies

Because it would seem no people can’t have nice things this thread now locked. As stated adnauseam please start new threads for new subjects. No more random threads now. Just so no one thinks I’m on the rag or something (a term I consider quite offensive to women PS) here’s why this thread is locked. As stated in the first post, this thread was for random comments or thoughts. Anything that might solicit even one reply should have its own thread. New Screens at Movie World? Yes that’s a topic Tailspin not working as it used to? Definitely a topic So as we don’t want random mega threads full of all sorts of multi post discussion we’re closing random discussion threads. Please start a topic for anything you wish to discuss.

Really liking the white personally

God why in the hell was that? Are they saying that it was in some way unsafe to spin? If that’s the case why do you even have the ride? Knee jerk bullshit from TRR has really stuffed up the industry in Australia. We’ll pretty much have no water rides now because of that, which is just ridiculous.

Look I don’t know if that’s something to brag about, but the point is valid 😛

I think this + shark bay would be my favourite time of the parks history.

The rides are great but the parks awful to deal with. Pay the money and get the stupid expensive flash pass, and add X2. Not sure if only get one ride on Colossus still but if you do, start your day lining up for that and use your flash pass for a re ride later. Easily the best coaster in the park if not one of the best ever.

People mover crashed today

I’m glad someone said it.

Incorrect

The persons that ‘should’ have been responsible at Dreamworld for safety of this ride had the same risk assessment training I have. They had more experience working with amusement rides than I have. Yet they failed to see ANY of these risks, let alone all of them and claim they couldn’t possibly have known/shouldn’t have had to know. Shame on them for their slackness and incompetence and disgraceful of them that they don’t take responsibility today. The actions of every person responsible for the management of ride operations and maintenance in that place were down right disgusting.

What does that even mean?

Maybe building a highly dynamic flat ride that needs a kick ass footing didn't go perfectly smooth on what is effectively boggy sand... shit happens. Doesn't have to be anything as sinister as contractors walking out to cause a delay.

Well I'd argue the current management is a hell of a lot better than it was in the 'American era'

You mean like this?? https://youtu.be/c_sS2hjAJI8

Not if they tear the rest of that POS down with it

We’ll let this run its course but it’s a shit topic to be sure and when It descends into nonsense we’ll lock it.

Dunno maybe because the people that get on their rides all walk off of them at the end alive? You kill people because of shoddy park upkeep and people are likely to be more critical of your approach to park upkeep... that’s just how it is.

Is that difference going to be 4 major attractions open and running because if not who cares? It's easy to fly a "hey we are doing so good" when all of the things are drop in the ocean spend wise and basically the most you can do for the least amount of investment as possible. Yet to see a single non reactionary move from the park since the accident.
