*checks press release from village contains the words "world class"* - TICK!

I do love the gold coast mayor and tourism team spruiking this partnership between the parks and a brisbane based cruise, given how vocal the GC locals were in opposition to creating their own cruise terminal. 

The GC needs to wake up and embrace cruising rather than relying on Brisbane to deliver the goods.

Sea World Car Park.

I'm not sure I'm following, could someone fill me in? Are they bundling the parks into cruise packages and bussing everyone from Hamilton to Sea World Resort?

What I think I'm getting here is that if you buy a cruise package you can get 15% off theme parks, which is a good idea and i'm all for that, i'm just not sure a coupon code is press release material.

Disregard that, noticed the unlimited entry bit which is the interesting bit. So if you book a cruise I wonder when you can use the unlimited entry?

What have you got against MW's car park?

...also (mostly) disregard the 'Hamilton' bit too, @Slick. Most cruise liners will use the new terminal at The Sewage Treatment Plant Luggage Point. Whenever cruising actually resumes.

It's not really a new concept and already deemed feasible...

For political and nimby related reasons, yes... It is feasible, but many locals oppose it as they don't wish to have their 'little paradise' disturbed by tourists, whilst remaining blind to the fact that tourists are the very thing that keep them in such a paradise. (see also: gold coast light rail).
