I’m not sure what’s happening at the path.

[Thrill Seeker]

the pathway is getting the new environmental flooring. they are square tiles that look like grates, made from recycled plastics. it is in the up and down part linking SSS and Corroboree (above the cassowaries).

I believe they already have that flooring. Maybe it's being painted?

It's closed..😊

Could it also relate to the Future Lab they announced earlier this year? Unless that project has been scrapped because there is no mention of it on the parks website

Honestly surprised nobody has brought the imminent implosion of the TPR social channels to the forums here for discussion.

They had done part of this work, but there was some still left to be done when I visited last week. 

Hopefully the train is reliable enough for this sign to be correct

Fun fact, I got blocked by TPR on Twitter this morning for liking a tweet from a Cedar Point executive responding to a guy calling Robb out for his arrogance. I'm not fucking kidding. The guy literally refreshes that feed every while or so and blocks the new people who liked the post. 

Thankfully the internet is catching up with the facts only now. People have been saying that Robb is arrogant for years at this point. People who have no interest in our hobby are now leaping on the 'cancel Robb' bandwagon and realise how much of a dickhead he is.

Rick’s Cafe has under gone minor renovations recently 

 

The outlet is now referred to as Rick’s Market Place with the emphasis of the outlet being back on international cuisine many years ago 

[pushbutton]

I'll have to give that a go! 

[pushbutton]

Of course, they haven't bothered to update the website. But why would they want to do something like that? It's not as if they care about maintaining a coherent guest experience or anything~!

 

Well, I guess that's another demonstration of why parks need someone whose main responsibility is to maintain the guest experience (as I detailed in another thread today).

Rick's Market Place excuse me? Did we just decide to change movie history with an otherwise iconic MW facade?

Frankly, this looks about as effortless as any other Australian Theme Park food offering before it. Have we not learned anything?

-Apparently the People of Australian Gold Coast Theme Parks have TiT's all knowledge on what modern Australia (Or ThemeParks in general for that matter) taste like.. or what practically anyone wants! - Better still a family of 5, where a 'measlely'  lunch price of 'just' 104 bux? Hmm. Yup, nice to know you are in touch with your Crowd Big G, well done!

Yep. My thought too. It's supposed to be out of a movie, not a randomly named place!

MOVIE WORLD. Keep the THEME consistent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MickeyD]

Thanks @pushbutton but that wasn't entirely my point!

 Ugh..anywho...

Oh, sorry. When I saw " Rick's Market Place excuse me? Did we just decide to change movie history with an otherwise iconic MW facade? ", that's what I thought you meant!

[MickeyD]

No need to apologise!

My point is that when it comes to Food&Bev in our Australian Theme Parks, we are simply not offering our GP what they are asking for/want.

[Sarahscott]

I actually like Rick's very good selection of food although the billabong restaurant at Dreamworld offered a selection of meat at one stage.

Well I certainly agree with that as you may already know if you've seen some of my previous posts on the topic of food. 

[themagician]

Our parks definitely should have more themed based food outlets, especially Movie World. They could have a western themed dining experience and a superhero one and people would pay extra for that experience. Even a character dining experience with the looney tunes and superhero’s would be a massive hit

Just out of curiosity, what anti-valleying procedures are present on aqua loops? What happens if you do valley?

There's an emergency exit door at the bottom of each loop
