I think the parks should leave the catering to those who know what they're doing in that type of business. Contract it all out to established and proven fast food and restaurant companies, with a condition in their contracts that their prices in the parks cannot be higher than their prices at their other stores.

So rather than the profits going to the park and allowing them to invest in future development, you'd rather have it go to some outsourced company so the park reaps no benefit?

Haven't Dreamworld kind of done this with Boost. Sure they may be slightly higher than out of the park but still reasonable. I have no issue with paying 50c-$1 more of a meal option from a chain outlet in a park but with the parks trying to focus on quality of in park offerings I am going to say leave them doing what they are at the moment. If the food was absolute shit then I would be all for bringing in outside "help".

DW have boost and SW have dominos.

i have personally never purchased in park from either, even though I do regularly outside of a park. 

Dora’s Best Friends Adventure will be closing on the 16th of November 2017 to make way for an exciting new show.

Dora Show Stage: Closed for refurbishment on 17th November and will re-open on 9th December 2017.

Yay more closed things at Sea World

Boost at Dreamworld closed at least a month ago. Probably more.

It wasn't doing so well after Thunder River Rapids closed, as few guests venture down that way now. Especially when Buzzsaw is also closed.

I hope they change the show to something spongebob themed.

I'm sure it had nothing to do with Boost not wanting to be associated with a dying brand.

I’ve heard it will be Paw Patrol

this may also have something to do with TRR and the CHAIRLIFT been slated for demolition in the near future

How do you conclude there would be 'no benefit'?

People don't go "I want a boost, ill just go down to Dreamworld. $90 is a good price to pay for a $6 drink.". Apart from rent, DW would get no profit from it unless its in the contract.

But DW would surely be the franchisee?

Which makes one wonder @Gazza Am I more likely to buy a drink because it's a Boost drink or would I be more likely to buy if from an unique one of a kind super dooper drink shop.  If Rct has taught me anything, DW only needs to add more salt to their chips.

Work on the new show (credit to TPSN) 

Don't let workcover see that photo - guy's not in a harness and doesn't have fall protection erected on the edge.

Maybe his shoes are fixed to the roof.

If people like their safe space, they'll eat at franchises.

So apparently this is happening
