We had a function on Level 6 in the events centre. The escalators were all changed to push people down after fire works or something, causing absolute chaos and no ability to go up without using lifts. Hundreds of people crammed on them and queuing for the lifts on each level. We were 40 mins late getting to the functions centre because lifts were not moving and there was not a single alternative to access that level. The gaming floor however retained full access of course. We heard people complaining to security about how unsafe they felt coming down the escalators with their young children having so many people cramming onto them. Security were had zero care factor. This has to be one of the most poorly designed spaces I’ve ever seen. Clearly not fit for purpose if it’s not able to accommodate this many people safely while supporting other events in the building. I’d hate to be in it during an emergency.

The star is a disgrace to this city
The wayfinding in that whole complex is a clusterfuck, terrible design
Are there no stairs in the building?
