Absolutely disgraceful! The biggest waste of money, the obstacles weren't even blown up properly, they were placed in any spot and most of the were the same! The water was disgusting and the staff couldn't care less about anything!

No water and I sustained friction burns all over. Very dangerous and a complete waste of money.

Very disappointing event! Was surprised about the lack of supervision on the course - the disgusting water (where there was water) - the obstacles deflating and one where the Velcro was clearly not working but they didn't shut it down, they continued to encourage people to attempt to get over the wall... It was slightly deflated so we were able to climb out the side of it!! One of our team also sustained a knee injury which saw him attend hospital for a check up and injection for pain!! Definitely not as much fun as the advertising suggested it would be ☹☹

The OH&S were particularly poor on the day, we tripped over power cords several times

Very very disappointing. A big OH&S issue from burns to tripping over rope to exposed extension leads, cow poo, falling down inflatables. An absolute disgrace that you could charge this amount of money and get away with it. Yes I wioudl like my money returned.

Its was really disappointing and to be honest quite unsafe. A few people got burns from nothing being wet. There was not much water at all No foam or bubbles. The set out was poorly organized. There were ropes every where that we were tripping over. It wasn't 5k.. like we were told not even 2k. Its was so much money for just a bunch of blown up floats no water no foam and unhappy volunteers.

My mate fractured his ankle.. I have numerous friction burns.. I bypassed half the obstacles due to either lack of water or long line ups. There was a substancial lack of staff.. it was hard to find out which obstacle to go to next as the barriers (lack of) were either falling down or not there at all...

we did the 8am sat show no water no foam (yet there was later in the day!) watched someone break their ankle watched someone come of the first slide and hurt their back - no one came and assisted him no swing rope as advertised no water in the 2nd last one or ropes to help go over which made it quite dangerous the last slide was only half going because "the vecro isn't working"........ one of the volunteers was smoking while we were doing the course

a highly disorganized event, with absolutely no duty of care, the organizers were only interested in receiving the signed waiver upon registration, not all stations were manned and volunteers were spread very thin and copping a lot of abuse. I purchased 6x tickets for Xmas presents, My friends and I walked away with numerous skin burns, a very disappointing and embarrassing present indeed! Shout out to the awesome volunteers on the day who had to deal with a very angry crowd!! Done level of compensation should be offered.

Volunteers were awesome but the safety of the course highly questionable. Where was duty of care?

Extremely dangerous event that was very poorly organised. One obstacle was missing a vital part to operate, many very missing water, and I managed to damage my ankle (luckily only minor) down the first slide. I am surprised WorkCover has not been asked to investigate. I felt so sorry for the volunteers copping all of the complaints.
