A bit of an update guys.
Membership starts in December till May. I haven't heard if it closes during winter. The QLD cable parks seem to stay open in the winter. But the water is a lot warmer, and patronage seems pretty good, just hearing the talk on the wake forums.
I am pretty sure when Panthers cable was open last time it did close during winter, which is a shame. I hope it does stay open in the winter, as the winter winds this year just plainly sucked.
$990 is a lot of hard earned $$. But is worth it for me who live pretty close by. You will catch me there most times the wind isn't up. Memberships are now open to the general public so if you are interested, get in early, as the initial run of memberships will be unlimited.
If the park is finished early, they will open in up earlier than December, reports are early November, but i think this seems to be optimistic. I drove by today, and not alot of activity was seen in the carpark, but maybe i just couldn't see from my vantage point. A few photos on wake.com.au, show that they are certainly revamping it up.
