Just been past MW and the carpark was still full with a lot of the coasters still going. Does this mean MW were smart and kept the park open later because it was

Either that or people had entered the lines for rides prior to 5:00PM and they were still cycling through.

I doubt they would still be cycling through the queues for 50 minutes and have the carpark still completely full.

[Brad2912]

If they weren’t open late for the QLD holidays I’d doubt they’d be open late when school has gone back already. 

It’s either queue hold over due to being busy during the day, or a corporate/private park booking

Anyone want to tell me if this is legal?

If they were recreating the old Wipeout logo purely for fun / social purposes, it wouldn't be technically legal but I doubt Dreamworld would be all that bothered.

If they're using it on items they're selling, that's a different matter! Unless they have permission from Dreamworld, they could very well find themselves in significant legal difficulties!

[themeparkaddict]

Yes their designs would be an infringement due to the natural and immediate placement of copyright positions when a design or drawing is created. Whether this would be taken further however, that's a different matter.

[themagician]

I think the merch looks awesome and it’s a shame the park never did something like it (unless they did and I don’t remember), would certainly be cool to do the dates for open and close 

[Gold Coast Amusement Force]

The closing date isn’t correct but cool nevertheless. Here is wipeouts trademark for anyone interested. https://search.ipaustralia.gov.au/trademarks/mobile/view/609333

Whilst against Copyright I doubt (and hope) Dreamworld will take issue with it.

I imagine Dreamworld would never find out about it considering the product is pretty much completely unknown to the public and only had exposure from pcl sharing it, they have now removed the post. Don’t think Dreamworld want to be in court rooms anymore nevertheless...

[themagician]

I’d say they will know about it because as you said PCL has shared it and it’s been shared on these forums too

Pcl have already deleted it and I doubt Dreamworld would check pcl.

[Park Addict 93]

As has been mentioned many times before the parks do actually monitor these forums from time to time. As I mentioned in my first post I doubt they will take action.

Yeah what’s that have to do with pcl?

Does copyright law in australia require you to maintain your ownership of it? As in, you have to actively protect the use of the copyright or it sets a precedent and i think ownership can be challenged under the guise of the ownership has been abandoned (if its not being challenged)?

No. Copyright remains including Prior Use rights. Only trademarks, patents etc require ongoing fees to maintain ownership within lodged Trademark Classes. Unless these guys have written rights from Dreamworld to sell their merch alongside key words like "Dreamworld" "Wipeout" etc it would only cost a few hundred bucks for Dreamworld to send a Cease & Desist letter to shut it down. No small operator will ignore or even consider fighting a Cease & Desist letter and a clear case of copyright infringement.
