Food is definitely a draw card. So is beverage. I haven't done Carnivale this year but I dropped a lot of money last year and it was awesome. Same as park fine dining. It's not really a thing here but overseas, especially at Disney quality dining is a big part of the theme park experience. I've dined at Carthay Circle many times, they even sell Grange by the glass!! Ive always thought it a missed opportunity at Sea World here. The old Broadwater restaurant has probably one of the best views on the Gold Coast and I always saw it becoming a destination restaurant. Umtimately it wasn't to be and has now been repurposed.

Star Tour anyone?

"What time is the fire machine show?"

Give the guy a break. I'm sure it's just a case of a poor choice of words and he doesn't think a cleaner is a lower member of society than a food and beverage attendant.

Is that correct? I thought I read everyone has an instructor. It's just if you don't have a license you don't get to drive.

What if say he worked for the freight company? Then he'd know when it was shipping but nothing about the construction. Let's maybe wait for an answer for we jump down the condemnation path

Because it was the day before.

Not sure that those two phrases go together...

Looks pretty much like the right deflection for that kind of span and style of truss to me.

What is actually wrong with you mate? Like do you need meds? Should you possibly spend some time in a special facility with soft walls? Youre not even a good troll, because a troll gets people to fire up and cause arguments. You are just at the point where everyone just dismisses anything you even say. We really care less, you're just a sad sad person. Literally no one here cares about you whatsoever.

Why oh why do we have so many genius posters on here... This cuts thing is another fine example I must say.

But but but Sunshine Pop did research so clearly is was the one who was right lol yeah sure

Why do people keep saying that? It's very easy and these rotated photo posts are getting really annoying.

I also don't see why you can't have both. Like every 4th tram say could go to the spit. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Run a combination of trams that go from Broadbeach Sth to the spit and ones that only go from main beach. To to look at the system as a whole that all trams go to the same destination is probably pretty short sighted long term anyway.

Thing is if the road has to be sacrificed then so be it. Sooner or later Gold Coasters are going to have to accept they need to give up their car culture and start using public transport.

I agree, its definitely suited to the Wet n Wild park, and it's cool to see another diversified offering which doesn't really detract from the experience of anyone who doesn't want to do it at all.

Are they only two seater? As you need an instructor this would mean it's a one person activity yeah?

I get all the arguments, and yes I read posts before I reply to them. However I think I can say with probably 99% confidence (because sometimes weird things do happen) that there is zero chance a cable car or monorail will be built. If nothing else, public objection. Regardless if right or wrong people tend to see (in this country) those modes of transport as novelty toys and won't get behind them. My argument behind trams is that as these already exist they are the closest chance you have of something being built to service the spit.

1) not part of a greater integrated transport system 2) great proportion of patrons won't want to alight the rail and change to a cable car as that's just how the public mentality works 3) private operator is not going to operate the cable car for $2 per trip which is a comparable price with the light rail 4) building the cable car will still end up costing about $100m here because construction here ends up costing you much mor than you would think.

Seeing these photos makes me think that this would surely cost millions to rebuild the themeing back to what it was... Which surely must be the plan. But it is that smart? Would that money be better invested giving the ride a new theme and thus a chance at ROI? Im sure many are attached to 'Scooby' but is that an attachment to THAT theme? Or just an immersively themed coaster?

See I actually really think the ride is meh and provides a lackluster experience, enthusiast or not. Where as I believe the mouse had a very unique and highly thrilling appeal that these spinners just don't.

People might not know a Mack from a Meisho but they sure as shit notice as soon as they ride something. To say the public doesn't notice the difference between a good quality ride and a bad one just because a ride is a ride is just silly.

The Waikiki Wave Super Flip is not a rip off of a Top Spin. It's a major advancement on the design. The articulating arm greatly increases the range of movements possible over a Top Spin and is a huge feat in engineering.

Actually that ride really sucks

So basically you're saying that you know nothing about the usage of the spit and then arguing that I'm wrong with my info on the usage of the spit? No one is arguing about other uses for the spit because this is a theme park site full of people who mostly care about theme parks. Doesn't take rocket surgery to work that out. Gold Coast basically has summer for around 10.5 months of the year so...
