I have a new biggest cred spite -_-
Was told by Land of Legends the ride would be open when I booked my 2-day stay. But of course it didn't go according to plan.

Oh well.

Damn that sucks - what's with the IMGBB links though?

Movieworld does free sauce for sausage rolls. Good on them.

Imgur is banned in Turkey for some reason!

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

They're all banned on Parkz though...

Poison Ivy has returned

And look what else is back

The wristbands have never disappeared... they just provide a free one attached to each interactive element.

So first introduce a bunch of new features you have to pay for, then make them free, then reintroduce the charges.

What a great strategy. 

Maybe we'll see charges on the Superman and Jet Rescue lockers next.

Actually they were not available for purchase for quite a while, around the same time that sign was removed. They are now available in store for $5 (IIRC they previously were $10)

Whilst intially they had wristbands tied to each interactive station they kept going missing so for quite awhile they have simply had plastic RFID cards.

You can still use the area for free, and they have the cards attached to each area. But they’ve now put back up the sign and have the bands heavily available. I’ve gone into the store a number of times and didn’t have any available

The bands have always been underutilised.  The bands would be a great upgrade option when you purchase your one pass.   Swipe for entry, swipe for photos, swipe for fast pass & Swipe for discounts.

Or just keep it free like it's been most of the last year.

If you have never been to Vietnam, then here is a short video showing off some of the attractions that they have to offer.

Some of this looks extremely spectacular and if Vietnam wasnt on your list of countries to visit as an alternative, then this video may just be the gamechanger.

Incidentally, these are the parks that Brad Loxley from Luna Park Sydney has now gone to manage. I am thinking he has his work cut out for him!!

Also, I need to mention that this company operates Dragon Park, who bought the ex-Hard Rock Park Led Zeppelin coaster. It looks really good. Theme parks in Asia are expanding rapidly and I honestly think they are the ones to watch over the next few years as record investment is being made in China and South East Asia. We're already getting what appears to be some solid underrated gems out of these parks that are closer to home than most major American theme parks.

Can an admin PLEASE do something about whitewaterwanker aka @Www worker 3.0 Absolutely sick of logging in to 5 notifcations of he/she putting bloody fountains on everything I post. Pm’d and politely asked they stop, which has been met with it happening more. I’d put them on ignore but I think that just blocks me from seeming them not vice versa so it won’t stop. I’ve had patience but after 2 weeks of it I’m done...

Totally agree with you @Brad2912. It’s gotta stop!

[Slick]

Easiest solution is to click "ignore user" when you hover over their name. @Www worker 3.0 at this point it's considered harassment, so easy up on the sauce mate, yeah? Cheers. 🍻

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

What I don't get - i got 5 reacts on Saturday - 4 fountains, and one thumbs up? like wtf? at least be consistent!

Yeah that’s my point. I won’t see his/her crap but they’ll still see mine and be able to bloody fountain it all
