Why are you so against something that's easier to read? 

Whether it's needed isn't the point, these days everything is about convenience. 

I'll admit back in 2004 when I was planning a GC trip, I did sit down with the maintenance schedules and map out when i was likely to have the most rides open, and i found it very useful - but as I said earlier - maintaining that would be a bitch - i did mine up for a 'point in time' and it suited me just fine - but adding rolling updates to the schedule is painful.

Well my point is exactly that! Everything is about convenience and I for one am not a fan for that. 

Do you know how much of my time is wasted every day because people want convenience rather than actually putting in effort and doing work for themselves?

 

Other pages may enjoy posting park opening times or attraction closures but Parkz is not about to join them. 

Good news everyone, I made a super easy way to find Dreamworld's maintenance schedule, quite possibly the easiest way around in my mind. If you want one made for the other parks, just let me know: http://bfy.tw/ATn2

But aren't businesses supposed to be open to suggestions on improving their services? I'm not saying Parkz should do it, I'm thinking more that the parks themselves should do it, or provide their maintenance schedule in an ecal format so everyone could have constant updates. 

the suggestion put forward was to have all the parks on the one calendar, so one could see the best time to visit to capitalise on that across all 4 majors.

having each company do their own for their franchises still doesn't solve the problem raised in the beginning.

For American or Japanese parks where there's hundreds of cool rides, sure, I hear you. For like five decent rides in the whole country, it's really not a major effort to double check, especially if you're banking your entire holiday over one of them being open.

Don't hear me - wasn't my suggestion. I'm just pointing out why the suggestion for company specific calendars doesnt solve the originally proposed mischief.

Ok I clearly ignored the bit about all parks in one sorry, in saying that, if each park supplied an ecal, they can be combined easily. 

You're overlooking one major detail. 

Parks don't really want you to know when multiple draw card attractions are closed because it deters visitation. 

 

There was a time where the only way you knew rides were closed was when you got to the gate and the moose told you.

Not very pure use of imagination...

Wipeout maintenance is underway

Fencing for BW and JL has been moved further out, and now has a sign to show that GL is still open

The MW department store is already looking much better, and good to see they are doing the whole facade

Back of Nickelodeon Store still getting some work done

And the Dora show seating is nearly completed

 

Surf Rider Closed for scheduled maintenance on Tuesday 7th March and will reopen Saturday 1st April 2017.

Seating in the Dora Amphitheatre is exactly as it used to be. Have they just replaced the seating? I didn't realise there was anything wrong it.. 

i do hope however they've taken the downtime opportunity to change up the show.

whilst on that topic, a new Madagascar Show at DW would be nice too...

They certainly have @Brad2912, this was it about a month ago

Constrictor and The Tornado have now been added to the maintenance list for wet n wild. And also worth noting, tickets for the wet n wild buggy are 40% on the discount websites (Groupon, Scoupon).

Ok thankyou

Calypso beach is going down for a huge maintenance period going from the 24th of April until the 18th of September.

^ I believe it's usually just closed for winter.
