March 2021 weather and flooding closes Gold Coast theme parks

[themagician]

I love it when the parks schedule posts and don’t think to possibly change it

Especially when they go and post this

Finally, they added a massive lazy river to Wet N Wild Gold Coast.

Was there an hour ago. Exit just past the park entrance and bus bays is flooded. Cars were underwater. Drivers were driving the wrong way at the front of the park entrance to avoid the flooded roads.

It seems like scheduling posts and not thinking to remove them is the hallmark of all the gold coast theme park related pages run by idiots.

These were just shared on social media by a local, taken this morning

Kinda gives me the Six Flags New orleans vibes

That one very flooded movieworld, hopefully that were able to keep water out of the justice league ride building as all other rides are above ground. The park could be closed for a Day or two for clean up once the storms finally clear up and water recedes.

I’d love to see how the parks are effected inside. We know how badly it floods outside MW and WNW, but is it just as bad inside?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Don't think so. The nearmap 'flood' layer is helpful, although not terribly precise, but you can see the water extends south past WNW for a long time before the park itself is affected. There is a large height difference between the Justice League ride floor and the creek at peak - even last year when Green Lantern's footings were inundated, JL itself stayed dry.
