The Dreamworld pad is elevated with obstructions to the front, so there is no way in the world I would attempt an engine off onto it unless in or near a hover. The approach departure paths are the same & when I was there, I had the huge pot plants shifted & a no parking area marked plus had the trees at the Big Brother end pruned a bit. The power to go & return was no problem but obviously with no power it would be. I always made sure there was ample space in the car park for an engine off but what worried me far more was if it became silent near the Big Brother set.... not my favourite program!
