Especially with the consistent squeaking & groaning it does for whatever reason. It'd annoy the hell out of me if I was next to it 24/7, and I don't use sound to see like they do. I'm sure they dislike it at least to some degree, even if just as they were getting used to it, the question is if it's enough of a degree to be noticeable by staff, and if Vortex operates enough to warrant them being moved back to a different pool.

Theme parks are fun because they generate stats!

In a community where everything is "your opinion is wrong because I hold a different opinion" having some stats to illustrate a point isn't a bad idea. 

Even if they're made to look worse than they are, you'd have to assume the bias would be even so the comparisons would still be fair and reasonable. 

And again 

DCR is also down today?

(Edit. DCR was down for 2 hours this morning. It did some test runs and they just reopened it.)

Can you please stop derailing every thread. 

This is a thread about the current reliability of Leviathan, (given people are often travelling a long distance to try the new ride etc)

Nobody cares about your "twitter feed" of breakdowns on a different ride at a different park.

Speaking of which, Vortex opened around Midday, and Levithian has been open all day, leaving Trident the only ride unexpectedly down. Posts about random spurts of downtime are trash.

Really have to stop treating rides unscheduled maintenance as a bad thing.  Unscheduled maintenance means somebody did their job and the parks are looking for problems.

I think the element that annoys me most about it is the Village parks at least are pretty aggressive about putting closures on the website even if it's only for a day. DW might well be like this too but I don't follow their maintenance page, and people don't seem as focused on what they do day to day. The culture seems to be 'If there's any doubt, list it as closed, we don't want to over promise and under deliver'. Far more often than not, those rides reopen, but they're being conservative so they dont dissapoint their guests, which is totally the best way to do it.

 

When people repost it on here, often with no follow up it creates a negative perception for the parks, and creates a disincentive for the park to do the right thing by the normal guest. I think the conservative attitude is the way to go, and I think reposting that stuff here creates a perception which is untrue and harmful. Also as noted earlier, being happy to have a ride closed rather than being unsafe is obviously not a bad thing either.

I think someone mentioned earlier that the closures being listed could be directly linked to the app.

If the ride has any chance of opening - it shouldn't go on the closures page.

If a ride has any chance of not opening, it should. Now be quiet.

Here I was thinking this was a discussion board

It is. You said a thing. You are wrong. Discussion is over. 

Dreamworld doesn’t have a live ride times website while you can check on the village parks any time with queue-park.  Not trying to derail it again but that’s where I at least get the info. Not the maintenance pages. I only brought it up because I am most likely heading down there tomorrow.

This makes as much sense as saying "possible showers" shouldn't be the forecast on a day that looks clear in the morning. Yes there is a chance but I bet you'd be the first to have a bitch if you got to the park and Levi was closed for the day and there wasn't anything posted saying it wouldn't be when the park knew it might not open that day.

All I’m saying is there’s a huge difference between a ride not having a chance to operate at all (huge defect / missing part etc) and the ride being closed for a part of the day.

I’d be equally as pissed if I chose not to visit the park because a ride wasn’t going to operate all day only for it to open a few hours into the day

Morning maintenance checks can reveal all sorts of abnormalities - a ride always has a chance of not opening.

I mean you know full well what I mean, so I don't have to respond to this do I?

I remember the great days of no internet and you just got the park, saw what the moose had to say and got on with your day.
