It certainly seems like he resigned on his own accord, which is indeed troubling.

For those of you that decried @Richard when he wrote a very critical piece of the park earlier in the week and threw reason, fact & logic to the wind, now you know better. I acknowledge I walk a very fine line writing things about Ardent & Dreamworld - I constantly have to juggle my passion for seeing the park do its best with the fact that indeed Ardent does pay me to do commercial work for them - so with that in mind, let me just simply say that I do hope both Ardent & Dreamworld (& indeed specifically the Ardent board) move at great haste now to putting additional energy in to the park because ultimately I would very much like to continue to work for the park for years to come, and i'm personally worried this news couldn't have come a at a worse time.
