Who cares about SV still not going now because this will defiantly make me return.

 

Yeeeeeah, I'm sure the Food and Beverage department has a say in ride count, ride waits or park seating.

Ooooh hopefully this is the end of beer in plastic cups too. That might actually get me back more regularly.

Would be nice to get a show on the Gold Coast at this level.

I miss Python Loop/Nitro Coaster, although not those Pinfari brakes. I hope it’s riding well. 😢

I Emailed them about the Scooby things, and yeah, nah. It's like the Inspector Gadget prices on roids.

The web site says " June: Racing Stripes & Scooby Doo" did you think you would get a private showing?

[jjuttp]

I mean, i kind of did.

 

 

(Also, the 2nd part of my comment would have implied i've seen the prices)

[themagician]

Wow, how awesome it would be to have a Luna Ghost, but my bank account definitely wouldn’t like it 

[New display name]

@themagician Why you would want to spend $11 000 on a Luna Ghost is beyond me.

 

You can get a Chair O Plane for $8500

 

You can get a Flying Dragon for $14500

 

You can get a Water Boat Ride for $8000.

 

Set one of these beauties up in your backyard and you will never have a need to go to a Theme Park again.

[themagician]

Ooooo well I’ve definitely got to get that boat ride. It will be like riding Vikings Revenge all over again

And you can wash your clothes at the same time.

Unless you want to go to a THEME park as opposed to a fairground. 

Despite what Dreamworld management seem to think, there is a HUGE difference! 

By the way, I do realise that your post was meant 'tongue in cheek'!

[New display name]

Thank you @pushbuttonfor popping my balloon.

[jjuttp]

I'd get the outfit if i had the money. I'm a massive fan of movie, making movies, and more importantly, Scooby Doo.

It simply means what it says.  Nothing hidden. Maybe you're trying to read too much into it?

Ok then Alex.  I get that you don't like me. That's fine. We've never met and almost certainly never will. So can you please have the decency to not comment on or about any of my posts from now on, and I'll do the same!

If you wanted to go to a theme park you would go to a theme park. 

Push is a theme park a theme park or not a theme park isn’t cut and dry and if you only attended "THEME PARKS" you would end up missing many great places to ride great attractions.

The “PURE” theme parks that you want are few and far in between. 

DW has never been a pure theme park.  

[Thrill Seeker]

Disneyland is a Theme Park (pure theme park)

Movie World is a Theme Park (cheap knock off more an amusement park)

Dreamworld is a Amusment Park (no similar theme around the park with the addition of a water park on the same property with no separation)

Seaworld is a Marine Park (with some rides)

Wet’n’Wild is a Water Park (rides for everyone)

Push, in all honesty - it's not that i don't like you as a person - as you pointed out, we've never met - so to take a dislike to a person i've never met seems a little odd.

On the other hand, I find many of your opinions objectionable, and as you so rightly pointed out to @T-bone recently - everyone is entitled to have and voice their opinion. This means you are free to express your opinion, and I am free to express my opinion of your opinion.

You are of course free not to comment in reply - that is your prerogative, but i'll certainly call a spade a spade, and bullshit bullshit, where I see it... this means I will continue to comment on or about any of your posts where I see the need. If a mod feels i've crossed a line, they'll certainly address it. If they don't, then clearly, it is acceptable to post!

I'm not keen to derail another thread on your whinging, so if you do feel the desire to take the (de)bait, feel free to send me a PM.

As for this particular discussion regarding theme parks, although this is the 'off topic' topic, i feel a discussion on theme parks (and what they are) probably deserves it's own topic - so i'm off to create one. See you there!
