Movie World development front of main street

[Slick]

At least at Dreamworld you can still do things you can't do in Main Street anymore...

Boofheads standing on garden beds, or dancers out front of an ice cream parlour?

Do they still do that? Been a while since I've been to DW.

Imagine was taken earlier today. 

You've got the wrong park, I'm only able to use my imagination at Dreamworld.

First picture of the redone grass area along Main Street. They've added wooden tables and chairs like the other side but there's a big patch without tables to one side, wonder what could be going there. Hmm...???

We'll have to wait for a certain someone to run an exclusive so we can find out. Maybe it's all 3 of them?

Do you think they did this to prevent this from happening again?

There's been no mention since September last year. I would think that it was settled for a sum of money and kept quiet. As ridiculous and crazy as the claim is, legally Movie World would have been responsible. It's a crazy world we live in. Thankfully most members of the public just move on with life after something like this occurs without taking legal action...

There'd be no theme parks if they did. That's for sure.

I remember learning in the first few years of primary school what an accident was.

Seems some people either didn't get that lesson or weren't paying attention!

Last year Movie World were receiving a lot of complaints via their official FB page about the lack of seating around the park during busy periods, people having to resort to sitting on the curb etc to eat their lunch. It was a particularly big issue over the Xmas holiday period. 

Clearly this is management's response to that feedback, as extra park benches and seating have visably popped up all over the place, and just in time for the June school holidays 😁

I personally think having benches in the middle of the Main Street square looks cheap and tacky they should have put garden fences up on the planters like Disney does to keep people from standing on them and put benches around it that would of fixed the problem in my opinion

I agree, perhaps this is just a time filler/stop-gap until something else goes in?

Personally I think it is a great idea...  Nothing worse that struggling to find somewhere to eat...  Grabbed a coffee the other morning and was much more comfortable to be able to sit at a table, in Main Street and watch the big screen while waiting for them to drop the ropes...  Same again at lunch...  Sitting down, eating with the little one and despite the crowd there for a show we could be comfortably seated, eating without trying to balance food on our laps, and watching the show going on...

At least the park benches are removable... they can very easily put them out for busy periods and then take them out for the remainder of the time, in which they can set anything up in those spots, really!

It will free up some space for more special event stuff as well ☺️

That was my initial thought, but then again what's stopping the same kind of people from attempting to stand up on the benches as well during the parade? Will they then expect the park to have 'do not stand on tables' signs around the area as a reminder not to do that as well? 🤔
