Maybe because they realised that was a more popular location and got more of a crowd that way 

Yes maybe, but it completely misses the whole point of the show, which is that it's a train robbery!

I’m not sure if this will be persistent through the whole ABC Kids World but the area where the seating is has a fresh coat of paint. It also seemed that other insignificant spots towards the entrance near MDMC had also been painted. Please appreciate the provided photo below as I was asked by security why I was taking weird photos.. Than again, I guess it is odd.

Yeah, how dare someone try to take photos of the themeing at a theme park... wait

This section needed a fresh coat once Hop n Hoot was removed in order to keep the section that was the former ride envelope one colour, plus an anti-slip coat was added... and seating... makes for a great shaded seating area 🤔😏

This is probably the lamest thing Village Parks have done this year. Promoting 2 new Costume Characters as a Major Holiday draw? Not to mention Characters that are only well known by Children from generation X, Y at a pinch. Not exactly the Target audience here. 

FWIW, my 3 year old watches T&J on YouTube Kids regularly. He loves it.

Look @pushbutton all the shit you have been hanging on DW wanting to add shade sails and Village prove it's onto a winner with it's full year results.

 

"Wet’n’Wild maintained its popularity as a successful summer branding campaign drove solid attendance through December and new shade over Wet’n’Wild Junior also improved the guest experience in this area".

Here’s all the rides in action at this year’s Gold Coast Show.

Great video and a fantastic line-up! Here's hoping it picks up a little bit later in the show, seems to be pretty quiet down there today.

[Slick]

So basically it's a line-up of "rides that SA doesn't like."

Say what you will about the whole harness debacle but I was surprised how ridiculously easy it would be to jump into The Beat's ride envelope.

If you get decapitated, it's your own fault. Don't come crying to me about it.

But if he came crying to you post decapitation, surely that would at least get your attention?

Getting yourself decapitated is no way to get ahead in life.

Now thats using your noodle!

VRTP’s new advertisement taking in all the parks, I think it’s really well done

Its a tried and trusted marketing strategy. It hits the target audience on a highly emotive level. Yeah seen it utilised many times before to varying degrees of success but this is very very well done. You cannot help but feel connected to Village personally after viewing and that is one of its main purposes. Nice.

Wonder how Dreamworld will react to this and what will be their counter delivery?

@Brad2912 do you know if this is meant for general circulation, or is it part of a greater social media campaign only or does it form the nucleus of a raft of new TVC's?

[Brad2912]

Not privy to any details, but it’s certainly an Ad I can see playing in full at cinemas domestically in the lead up to the sept and Xmas holidays, and I’m sure an edited shorter 10-15 second version will hit tv screens 

[red dragin]

I think I saw the end of that last night on TV. Between 5pm & 7pm on Channel 7

[themagician]

Now that's a great ad

[joz]

What's good about it?

It's all well and good to say that they 'treat guests like family', however, that is usually very far from what you experience at the parks, specifically Movie World. Unless something has recently changed, there isn't anything which makes them stand out and make your trip 'unforgettable'. 

[pushbutton]

I completely agree it's a great ad, but I also agree that the service standard in the parks often doesn't match what's advertised and definitely needs work to improve. 

[StingRay]

Nice marketing campaign, But I thought more than MW could have been used in footage. I know they used other parks but at least spread the love. They want to treat every single one of their guest like family. A dysfunctional family?.

[joz]

It looks like a video they play to new staff on their first day rather than something that makes me want to go spend a day at a theme park.

[jjuttp]

Wonder how much of the GP are going to learn that PC exists?

[joz]

None because they'll be asleep by the time that part of the ad comes on.
