Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster refurb

[New display name]

The last time I was close and personal with the knights they weren't in a good condition.  Hopefully any repairs within the building will been carried out before it reopens.

Photo of said planter box, a lot of facade work going on over near Arkham Courtyard too.

Clearly the entry to the new "Bunnings Onion slippery slide ride"? 😁

To think there was once a point in time where it was a joke to suggest running down to bunnings to buy things.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Wall wrap is wall wrap. Bunnings is probably one of the cheaper suppliers - and they probably sell it cheaper because it does have their name plastered all over it. Why pay more?

[Park Addict 93]

I don’t mind it at all, if it’s cheaper/makes sense to source locally. I have been told the current kids strollers are Kmart ones.

And that 90% of all high chairs you've ever seen in public are all from IKEA.

A new smaller tree has been put in place of the larger one and the trains are being worked on.

I really appreciate the update but I just don’t get the need for a) videos when photos will suffice and b) the want to make the 10,000th Gold Coast theme parks fan portal. This community is way, way stronger when we’re not separated into hundreds of fractions, just sayin’.

Andrew H Productions Presents..

Yeah, I wouldn’t put the music on or have the logo at the end. Making it look official is actually making things worse. Just do a good job of documenting the things when they open.

Doesn't Parkz have a policy on posting links to user's own content?

Parks on the coast - a youtube channel - is operated by @Gold Coast Amusement Force

Here's the link to the channel info: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Yv0S_Zpbjmo5zB6QwtD7w/about

Email address on the channel is gcthemeparksz@<omitted>.com

Facebook page for GCthemeparks - https://www.facebook.com/pg/GCthemepark5/about/?ref=page_internal

The Parkz profile for GCAF which lists the youtube channel as their webpage - https://www.parkz.com.au/forums/profile/32341-gold-coast-amusement-force/

which also lists the insta page for gc_themeparks

I mean, if its a video of a POV, or an actual, couple of minutes of narrative and footage, sure - but 5 second epileptic scans of a scene which could be much better portrayed in a photo, or slideshows of pictures put into a youtube video that you can't effectively zoom in on or otherwise closely analyse are just shit.

Not to mention - this video in particular is combined content so we end up getting the same video posted as a reply to multiple threads -

 

 

In short, I feel like perhaps posting videos (that are just still-photo slideshows, or short 'vine' like videos) from youtube (since Parkz doesn't host playable videos in forum) is a way of subverting the rules on hot linking to images on other sites. Of course, i'm not a moderator, so whether that is actually breaching the rules, or perhaps if the rules need to change to account for the loophole is entirely up to the Parkz team.

Probably toeing a line over the guidelines too.

Congratulation MW on creating an ugly area.

My wife was pestering me to spend 30 bucks on the same tree from Bunnings.

[Gold Coast Amusement Force]

They also have white Christmas maps posted around the park which show sdsc’s layout instead of it being covered over by the roof.

So the maintenance period is till 15th December (Saturday), reopens this Sunday then? 

Is the week before Christmas still quiet? I've got Friday the 21st off, would like to check it out. 

[themagician]

The ride reopens on Saturday

[New display name]

Isn't Saturday the 15th @themagician?

It is, so is the 15th the last day of maintenance or the first day of operation? 

Given it closed on the 23rd, I would read that as still being closed on the 15th (possible soft open?) 

[themagician]

Yes, but the way MW do their dates on maintenance. The date shown is the day it reopens. DW do it the opposite, and the date shown is the last day of maintenance

DW do something correct for once and MW screw it up.  Am I drunk or have I bumped my head?

On the Movie World maintenance page the finish date has been removed. It now just says "Currently under maintenance, from 23rd July 2018".

[Rabbit2014]
