Why is it so hard to keep something as simple as a clock working? 

 

That’s a really good question Pushbutton.

I was wondering the same while I was there. Perhaps they’ll have it working in the summer?

Is it too much to ask that things like this are checked, and reconditioned if necessary before they're put out each year? 

 

It's a small pile of snow on top of a newspaper stand, by the way!

Look out MW Push  is on the Warpath today!

In all honesty, have you been to GS today to tell them about your gripes? A clock not working, a cable in an area that is so dark that only you noticed it and now a bit of chipped paint?

Sounds more like someone got out of the wrong side of bed this morning 😁

Not at all. I'm just proud of the parks (Movie World especially) and think they deserve to be maintained in top condition.

I didn't feel strongly enough about any of these little issues to bother guest services (and I very much doubt they could do anything about them if I had), but it's surely a discussion worth having on here.

For someone like myself who doesn't wear a watch and leaves their phone in the car for the day, that clock not working is a pain. 

I'd like to see them do something about the bin chickens (ibis) around Gotham Cafe. Watched four of them clean up someone's lunch before the person even got to try it! 

And seeing that the topic so far has been nitpicking the park 

Back of house area (aka Fright Nights area) was left open today 

(Did report this matter to guest services and I believe they went down to close it) Oh and before anyone asks, no I didn’t go in

I did. Not much as you would expect. There was a swooping magpie though to keep people on their toes.

The back of house pathways are on the park map so technically it's not trespassing.

Come on @pushbutton It's right twice a day.

That's great in theory, but the only problem is that one of them is 10 minutes before they let people into that part of the park, and the other is well past park closing time.

Well then just sneak into that area of the park 11 minutes earlier.

You didn't feel strongly about something enough to actually bring it to the attention of the people who would be capable of doing something about it, but you felt strongly enough that it should be something raised here to whinge and bitch about.

You're the sort of person who won't complain about a meal in a restaurant and then proceed to leave negative feedback on every online review site you can find, aren't you?

Clock... yeah things break, give them one too...

 

But the Snow? That's actually piss poor. Like it's a seasonal decoration that has just been PUT OUT cracked and broken after sitting in storage for TEN MONTHS... are there standards at all?

I could understand had the same clock not been broken at least 3 times in the past year.

Same applies to the one above the screen at the front of main street.
