Gold Coast Theme parks ban packed lunches

[Lulu]

If they made a commitment to serve something decent, by qualified staff (not just things you deep fry and hope for the best), I would be happy to eat there.

But the other thing is the lack of practicality. If I'm wandering around these HUGE places, I don't want to have to run back all the way to the food part if I'm peckish...

how dare they dictate what people eat.
its wrong, just so greedy...

[feeb]

Oh my thats crazy!!!!!!

They will need to improve the size of there food places and what they offer then!!

I have been 2 times to most theme parks and 1 time took lunch and 1 time bought and so much easier to have your own and eat when and where you want!!!

Ah bring on september when maz and the mazett's hit dreamworld and movie world.....sanga's will be placed in nappy backpack with our fruit juice and anything else we dame well bring in. And if they try to kick us out....watch out! wont look good kicking 2 special need kids out of a theme park just cause they cant eat their crap!

I thought food was never allowed to be taken into the theme parks anyway. I have always smuggled in our own lunches and snacks though.

So, how do they decide if you have an allergy?
I think if I go there we will all become coeliacs for the day.

[Doing my best]

Apparently the staff and security have been told that they are not allowed to question if someone says they have an allergy, so yep, sure many allergies or special eating habits will come to light, haha...

I will see if I can get some more info in the next few days from them, but thought it would be helpful that people knew so that they could prepare accordingly..
