Looks like this is a hit on social media. Seeing so many people booking flights to visit the area. It’s a timeless IP which is going to bring in a lot of interstate and international guests. 

Yeah whatever chap

Everytime I walk through the Wizard of Oz courtyard and Precinct, I notice new areas where they decided to save money. It is very interesting compared to Rivertown, where I find new themed details that I didn't realise where they were last time. It is just striking the difference between the two theme parks.

Flying in for disappointment when they realise the Insta filters don’t match reality

In the mid 2000's (Greg Yong days) staff rides certainly did happen before the rides opened to the public. Green Lantern opened for approx 2 hours a day for about a week for staff to get rides in. We were also able to bring up to 3 family members one night for a preview. They did the same for JL as well (but not for Arkham). Not sure if this happens anymore though. In the summer months on West in particular we used to do a "ride check" once a day where we would just jump on a spare seat in a boat if there was one to check what theming elements were not working properly or had broken down to report back. Although TBH it was mostly to cool off...

Sad if that's changed now though, as having a night for staff to experience something new before everyone else is a nice little perk. it's also good training for the ride staff too before tech rehearsals begin.

It may have something to do with vrl owner/ management  team being private equity now  vs an asx listed company where one person is ceo of both the theme park and the company ( hence has more ability to make own decisions and more control ) . Also mentioned in opening that was organising and event out of hours for contributors to project .
