Yeah look as much crap as I hang on Atlantis I think the way they've done the concrete looks really good.

Dreamworld have updated their COVID page with what attractions will be not be available on reopening, no real surprises. 
 

Quote

 

As a part of our approved COVID SAFE Plan, the following attractions and activities will be temporarily unavailable upon opening:

• Gamesite Arcade
• Mad Jungle Jam 
• Play School Art Room iPads
• Corroboree Face Painting Experience
• Corroboree Virtual Reality Experience
• Animal Experiences
• LEGO Interactive Building Area
• LEGO Mini Figure Station

*This list does not include attractions under scheduled maintenance and is subject to change without notice. 

 

The only thing that's surprising about that is the arcade, as there are arcades that are open, and what's the difference between that and something like dodgems or tailspin? Otherwise not surprising really. Think it'll be a few rounds of eased restrictions to get everything back on track.

 

Also controversial, I'd totally give them a pass for waiting till September to reopen WWW. I'm still totally of the opinion that the water parks should be open year round, but this year I'd be OK with it. There are no tourists from Victoria or NZ to give the full Gold Coast experience to, the only people up at the moment are locals and we ain't swimming. WnW opens soon enough and by the time WWW is ready to reopen WnW will have most of its stuff opened too.

Considering what that crete company can do and what village have already had them do, just refreshing the textured sand coloured surface is a waste

This ad was on tv multiple times tonight and the more I saw it the more the VRTP sound at the end annoyed me 

Halloween Horror Nights at both parks in the US has been cancelled. And Disney’s Halloween event has now also been cancelled for both coasts

It's hardly severe weather today. I guess it makes sense to close from an operational standpoint though as patronage would be super low on a cool and rainy day. 

The carpark and some areas in the park regularly flood when there has been as much rain as we’ve had over the weekend. And with only a quarter of the park open and only a few dozen guests visiting when it’s sunny, it just isn’t worth them opening 

Weather was very severe this morning when they would have had to make the call.

There has been near on torrential rain all night on the GC with many local roads flooded. 

the WnW carpark usually goes underwater in heavy rain, so it’s not surprising at all. 

So batwing just broke down and Scooby is still closed. Movie world currently only has 2 major rides opened Rivals and Justice league. 

So what was the point of putting pressure on the government to open again?

Also for those riding DCR, single rider queue is not in use, despite the signs still being up, the line is only for fast pass

Scooby is now under maintenance on the website as of today.

Now listed as closing from the 27th, but I understand it has been closed for a few days now.
