Very strange to see it like this on a school holidays Saturday! Guess everyone is at the shops or watching the cricket or something  

Was like that on Wednesday, didn't wait any more than 15 minutes. And loading and unloading of all rides was very sufficient. But this is normal for this time of year. It isn't until Boxing Day and onwards that the parks are crazy.

Funny thing is that I went to the park on the 29th of Nov and it felt like an average school holiday weekday (Not Jan. of course) The closeness to Christmas is obviously driving people away.

You will find me at the parks in the coming days then  

Just some photos from tonight.

Surprisingly quiet on the rides with the amount of people here.

 

I also thought this this was funny while waiting in line right now for Batwing

Charge your phone. 

^ I know!

That wifi network name kinda makes sense if they need one for that area of the park.

I'm guessing the wifi is for the video cameras on the Batwing to upload the data when it parks and lets the guests off. There's already a power rail for the carriage so no issue there, but connectivity is a different story so I would presume they chose Wifi

Been past MW and the summer crowds have officially arrived, carpark is overflowing. Queues to get off the highway.

Welcome to peak season everyone.

Well, we have just over a month to avoid the parks (apart from DW which might be a little quieter until all the rides are open again).

DWs carpark was about a third full at 11 this morning, but plenty of people were still driving in and lining up to enter the park. I do hope they can open the majority of the thrill rides, a part from maybe 1 or 2 within the next couple of weeks. Then we should see the real large crowds return to the park.

Didn't see a 2017 thread to post this in.

They really are quick to reference the Dreamworld Tragedy every single opportunity they get.

That's because we don't do mega-threads anymore, and there is a thread for the incident created here:

If you get the use out of it, sure. May be worth waiting for the next refresh now.

My personal favourite items on HB are the Salmon Bagel from Main St Deli @ MW and Seafood Basket from the top terrace @ SW.

5 of us on holiday from W.A. for 22 days, I think the charge is $125 each at the moment. Would be at SeaWorld / Movieworld or Wet n Wild at least 16 of those days.
