Sea World's Sea Lion arena faces north, guaranteeing practically all-day sunshine to virtually everyone in the front rows up to more than halfway in the grandstand. The same goes for the thunder lake seating area, also north, also full sun virtually all day.

Dolphin cove faces east - a pleasurable experience in full sun for the morning keeper talks and shows.

HWSD faces west, copping a big ol eyeful of sun in any show post-midday.

Its fucking queensland. you're going to get sun. its going to be hot. The advantage is there is somewhere to sit down for a few minutes, so I doubt people are gonna complain too loudly about sitting in the sun for 10-15 minutes (especially when there is a waterpark LITERALLY behind it).

So then the answer is to build arenas facing south in Australia 🤷‍♀️

The monster truck arena has been turned into a mess because of all the rain that has recently happened in SE QLD. Anyway, here's a clue as to what the banners look like 

Anyone ever seen a bogged monster truck? I feel we're about to 

Now who would've seen that coming in a La Nina year?

Arena starting to come together

Rain won't be easing anytime soon, gonna be pretty average experience for guests to waddling through mud to that seating area. Unless pathways of some sort are part of the plan.

My favourite part about going to Archerfield Raceway in the rain was always the mud that you'd be showered in by the cars/trucks driving around </sarcasm>

Anyone go and see the monster trucks?

I’ve heard the show is decent, but there is no shading over the seated areas, so it gets very hot

The entrance is where the old Kevil Hill attraction was.

So its benches to watch cars in a dirt paddock? With no shade? In the summer?

@rappa pretty much
