Yes and it still has plenty of quiet spots you can still sit for a drink, get away from crazy crowds and has a bit of a rural feel. Its homely I guess. I’d hate to see it go the way of Sydney’s showground.

After attending the Sydney Easter Show yesterday in the ‘new’ Showground. Please never move the Ekka. God what a soulless crap hole of no shade and no atmosphere the Sydney event is. I had forgotten.

So Dreamworlds is $99 and MW $199... is one cheap or the other too expensive?

WOW

This is the stupidest thread I’ve ever read. Countless enlightened people have answered why it cost so much. You came to a forum to ask a question and then state that no one who could know the answer would post it on a forum. Anyone who has any involvement in any kind of themed entertainment knows how quickly things get expensive. If you thing Universal Singapore has the same level of theming detail as Hong Kong Disney then you are wrong. Its not subjective, its fact. And that’s why it costs so much more. The fact that for you that detail means little is irrelevant, you are entitled to have a preference for the Universal park and like it more. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t more detail at Disney, it just means it doesn’t interest you.

OMG yay for a billboard that doesn’t put a keyword in cursive font in a non contrasting colour to the background! 👏🏻 Good job

I mean let’s not question or knock them for doing what they should do. Probably they approved the budget for this project to do it properly and get rid of an unsightly closed ride. Getting money approved to remove other crap that should have been removed by previous bad decision makers years ago is likely harder to do.

Given the Gold Coast light rail can run on a 7 minute ‘timetable’ rather than scheduled runs I think a theme park train can manage. If you’re at a theme park you probably aren’t fussed about waiting for 10 mins or so for a train. Its not like there’s a lot of scheduled entertainment to be in a hurry for 😛

It’ll work for a few weeks and then they’ll just shine some flashing lights at it.

Cept the 'yank' attitude was to reinvest In the ride and give it upgrades to keep running at it's peak for years to come where as DW cheaped out and ultimately had to kill the ride... I hate a little bit that I'm shoving the knife in on DW here because I really doh't want to be the 'shit on DW guy' all the time but in a pissing contest of who is better between DW and SFMM it's hard to see this coming out in DWs favour.

Well I certainly got THAT joke 👏🏻

Anymore... WnW did start doing this for a while. And same for Blue Lagoon

But the GD is missing leftover track that theyre too cheap to remove. Not accurate 😛

Yeah that was my point. Some parts of the interface are a little clunky, but really it's pretty good and a huge way from when first launched... But overall my experience of using it has been reasonably pleasant.

Platform definitely temp scaffold addition it seems. And year no dark ride section on Scooby or turntable lights. Rest of disco room is all fully functional though.

I visited the park this week and used the app. Some bits are clunky but the UX doesnt SUCK. I touch the park, I select rides or shows and I instantly see the info I desire... What is awful is the Covid checkin which you still need to do at any dining facility. It doesnt remember you, isnt setup to autofill from your contact details and is just slow and clunky as.

His friend Superman is now down for a few days.

Its also worth noting interestingly that whilst the big GC parks have reported downturns the GC as a whole has seen HUGE visitation in the SEP-JAN period. Somewhat higher than even normal. Many smaller attractions are reporting record numbers this year. An anomaly that has not really been seen in other destinations or states.

I don’t feel a general thread like this offers much to the community. In all likelihood it will lead to grandstanding about individual views on COVID and also likely the political response to it. If there is a specific issue at a specific park to be discussed by all means create a topic (this is not an invitation to go and create 6 topics right now). If one needs say daily updates on what interval they wiped the seats on scooby today, there are other places for that.

The parks are all open therefore this mega thread now is not. If they close again and re-open we can start another

That always looked beyond terrible! No, definitely not

So awesome that they spent the time and money to get that effect back up. The water dumb was always one of the best effects on the ride.

Thing is back before apps and the like a 1 day or half day closure of a ride was standard and would just get a small sign out the front of the parks. Now the tech exists to show this more realtime on digital platforms its going to be regular that unscheduled maintenance appears. Really it would be more appropriately called ‘repairs’ but that implies something is broken so you’re not going to put that on your app.

So its benches to watch cars in a dirt paddock? With no shade? In the summer?

Sure is
