No, you unfortunately see much, much more

The guys a wanker, full stop. He is more interested in making himself look good than for the safety of the guests or the industry’s future. I mean, honestly, before him, when did we see Village management in the media all the time? Never except for circumstances such as major ride failures (green lantern for example). 
 

Let him open the parks, chances are high an outbreak will occur because of it, and the guy will be hauled over the coals for it.

You're not wrong, he definitely comes across like a wanker. I personally believe this too. Not much that can be done about it unfortunately. Well, until someone gets sick of him ranting on facebook and fires him

So a friend of mine contacted me to say Bikash Randhawa, COO of Village Roadshow Theme Parks had written to him accusing him of writing this post, and threatening legal action over defamation from this post, unless the poster posts an apology. Bikash also advised he had contacted the police already over this post. 

Whilst my personal opinion is that, an opinion of myself and only myself, I would like to formally apologise to Bikash Randhawa for my comments. I apologise for any harm caused, and I retract my statement

What a wanker. You can't sue someone for calling you a wanker.

Maybe he should spend more time planning a way out and less time on Parkz.

@Jordan M., it's funny that you should react with a fountain to this post as it was you who informed Bikash of this and then tried to rat the person out.

Actually it wasn't, I have not spoken to Bikash. But you are not the first "Golden Years" admin to make false accusations.

I used "The Fountain of Improbability" react as I have recently had to deal with some "cockwombles" (to borrow a phrase) recently including the likely user behind that account.

I was doubting the credibility of the statement 🤷‍♂️, specifically "a friend of mine".

Oh, so it's revenge motivated. Good to know. Thanks for confirming it was you

I did no such thing, would you like to provide proof of your accusation? 

As for revenge, yes I find a fountain react is the best form of revenge. 🙄

I think the whole comment about threatening to be sued was done as a joke.

But it seems like it could happen, which has caused the conflict.

I'm actually aware of many people who have received much the same threat from the same person.

CityWalk will partially reopen from tomorrow at Universal Orlando. Area will only be open 4-10pm. Here are the requirements from the website 

 

[Guest 239]

I’m emerging out of my cave for a little bit to post this because I feel it’s relevant.

The reopening of the Gold Coast parks is going to be a logistical nightmare if rushed. It's one thing to get guests through the gates but once inside there needs to be enforced efforts to ensure the safety of guests and so far Ive seen nothing publicly that suggests that the parks are ready for this.

If the parks want to use their position as leaders in the tourism industry which they’ve been boasting they should also be laying out their own framework to the public and other establishments for how their reopening is going to occur and what measures will be in place to ensure guest and employee safety. If a single outbreak occurs within those gates consumer confidence is going to plummet and it'll cause a cascading effect to the wider tourism industry.

The global industry is adapting to this situation and many companies are laying out proactive plans for their reopening that go beyond the necessary guidelines to instil confidence in the public eye because without that confidence it doesn't matter what your capacity is if people aren't willing to attend the venue. 

I want to see the leaders of the Gold Coast tourism industry lead in this situation and provide clear demands not only on what they require to operate safely whilst still being financially viable but also outlines on what will be in place when they are operating to ensure safety of staff and guests. 

Opinions are my own.

Wait what did I miss?

The limits are there for a reason. Anyone trying to push opening the parks sooner is doing so clearly because they have the wellbeing of the shareholders before that of their customers. Whilst it would be nice to see them open earlier they are a non-essential high risk business. Even if they provide a highly detailed plan of what they are doing when it comes to prevention I would be extremely cautious about visiting.

I found an article about the parks reopening on mygc.

Please keep up.

@Jdude95 has accused @Jordan M. of being a snitch.

@Jordan M. Refutes the allegations and states @Jdude95 has no proof.

@AlexB and @Jdude95 have formed a bromance after they met at the DW inquest.

@AlexB now pipes up whenever @Jdude95 is under return fire to defend @Jdude95 (some would say @AlexB even lies to coverup for his master((but not me))

@Jobe has puppy eyes for @Jdude95 with his constant positive reactions to @Jdude95 replies.

@Jdude95 hasn't noticed @Jobe advances because he only has eyes for @AlexB.

@Skeeta is no longer in a bromance with @AlexBand is open to a new relationship.

Just like any other day at Parkz I would say.

Currently, all theme parks are closed, but will be allowed to reopen from June 12 but only for up to 20 people unless they have an approved COVID-19 ‘safe plan’.

Village Roadshow CEO Clark Kirby, who is responsible for Sea World, Movie World and Wet ‘n’ Wild theme parks, said the lack of clarity on a timeline for an end to restrictions is leaving the parks and their staff in limbo.

“My number one priority is keeping team members on the books so we can get back to business as soon as possible,” he told The Courier Mail. “JobKeeper allows us to do that. That’s why it’s crucial that this policy is extended until the Federal Government can give us certainty.

“We need thousands of workers, many with unique skill sets to open our doors every day. It’s important that we retain these team members.”

One of the first media outlets to actually report that the 20 limit is already subject to increase on a case by case basis.

<sarcasm> As per @Jdude95’s earlier comment any disagreement with VRTP management will be forwarded to them immediately </sarcasm>

You do not have to because I already have you covered.

 

 

Village Theme Parks are putting up flyers in all their ticket booths as we speak.

I was banned from Village a long time ago. Bikash found out I ran a DW facebook page and I haven't been allowed within 200ft of a village property since
