So other than the shitty globe and a bit that vaguely looks like part of CityWalk, what exactly have they knocked off?

Disney IP's (That kid from UP), rides (Dumbo), and The HK Disney entrance facade/gate thing. They have also invested in attractions which rip off legitimate manufacturers such as Arrow, Vekoma, SBF and Gerstlauer.

If you want a physical catalogue of all the awesome and original thrills GoLdEn HoRsE can provide, take a look at this.

Six Flags repeating its past mistakes here. This could only end in disaster.

Good news - Cedar Fair have turned down the offer and shares are back up.

Thank God!! Six Flags would have destroyed the Cedar Fair parks.

Just the concept of Six Flags Cedar Point is enough to send a shiver up your spine.

Crazy times that they made that offer. Spare a thought for Larson though who nearly sold like 12 more Loops.

A shuttered store is rotting the streets of Surfers Paradise?

I wonder how much of an issue this had to be for Adventure World to feel the need to post this 😂

The G-string style i understand, but the high cut?

Adventure World 2020 season:

No doubt some prudish Karen has complained to the park, and this is their placatory gesture. It doesn't say its banned, just asks people to choose appropriate wear for family friendly environments. The fact they've used the peach emoji makes me think its a little bit light hearted.

Some people have nothing better to do I guess.

[Aw hype]

People don't readjust after going on body slides and then walk around. Never seems like that much of a problem but a PTA mom probably said something

[Brad2912]

Something similar is at WWW too.

and WnW has this: 

You are welcome to wear whatever swimwear you're comfortable in providing it is suitable for a family environment.

however I’ve seen plenty of girls in g-string bikinis at WnW

Yeh on a real note AW have got a shit ton of negative publicity about the post both locally and nationally. Karen has well and truly started a revolution with the power of her complaint

Could someone please explain the 'InspireWA' theme park concept to me?

They were doing some work with the top of the Black Hole tower today at WnW. 

Had a cherrypicker working on it.

photo not great, just snapped it as I was driving out of PC.

Each of the Village Roadshow websites have been updated to show the "your theme parks" thing

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

"your" theme parks

"my" fun

They're really reaching, aren't they?

[themagician]

A new storage shed is being constructed at the studios

 

[Brad2912]

SW have decided they’ll sell more heli tours if they actually plonk a helicopter in the park behind a barrier and have a “pilot” stand next to it and convince people to buy tours (I didn’t ask to see his licence so he may just be a staff member in uniform)

Edited October 17, 2019 by Brad2912

Your theme parks. The fuck does that even mean? Why is having the same nothing slogan on each parks website a good thing? Why is there such a crappy cheap ugle fence around the chopper? Also why not a branded helicopter? And in the current climate of OH&S overreach, why is the fire hydrant now in a fenced off area? 

[Park Addict 93]

According to Flight Aware it’s not even one of SW’s usual helicopters, which would explain the lack of branding.

VH-SWX and VH-SWL are the usuals.

A wooden structure with a water fall feature has returned to the Wet N Wild lazy river. Not the same as what they had but it's better than nothing.
