  1. Past hour
  2. tbh, at the quickest of glances that looked vaguely like a poop emoji.
  3. Today
  4. The ride was only unreliable because it was being run out of spec. It was essentially run into the ground due to “modifications”. The ride just needs an overhaul to return it back to opening day condition, which the bean counters said no to.
  5. Wet n Wild have now updated their website to match the same style at MW https://wetnwild.com.au
  6. It was very unreliable and was costing the park a lot to keep it running because of all of the work it needed
  7. A shame they don't have it operating until they knew what to do with the area. Like that would've been nice to help alleviate some of the stress on the other ride lines
  8. Village, where a “Black Friday” sale has them selling tickets based on the threat of a price increase.. Maybe it is a sign that senior management who sign off on this stuff are about to be eaten by a T-Rex, or maybe a shark.. *Yes, I know it isn’t a Black Friday sale.
  9. Just noticed now but doomsday destroyed has been removed from park map in app as an attraction completely. Still shows on the map but no name or icon
  10. Yesterday
  11. I lived on one of the islands for a bit and spent a bit of time there. They're going to need a proper way to get people to the base station from the main street, as that northern part is very much less travelled. But hopefully this ignites more non-whitehaven or plane based tourism for the area as currently that seems to be all they have. And at the same time, they need a better way of linking PPP airport to Airlie.
  12. I was in Airlie not long ago - it definitely could use that sort of attraction.
  13. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/news/queensland-government-commits-5m-to-whitsunday-skyway-project/news-story/fea53565deaf4a97d21d900c648885fb&ved=2ahUKEwiP9byK7euJAxV-TWwGHWjEL44QFnoECBkQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0SZEmkS1fM97xlCOiI3U06 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://raywhitewhitsunday.com.au/news/downhill-luge-ropes-course-new-86m-cable-way-for-whitsundays-tourism-hotspot&ved=2ahUKEwiP9byK7euJAxV-TWwGHWjEL44QFnoECBgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0u6n8nz2_VYI_glLJOh3bN A couple of topics about this but it looks like Arlie Beach might get a "Luge on Tracks" (Aka Alpine Coaster)
  14. The Claw will be open again this Friday and Saturday during the night markets
  15. Last week
  16. Not necessarily. I don’t know the answer, but GD was built a year after TOT and the tower was originally designed to have a drop tower attached to it because they had planned for it. Lex Luthor opened 15 years after Superman opened, My point being, the structure might not have been engineered to stand with the additional lower structure of Superman to support it (the curved structure at the base is what I’m referring to)
  17. i mean if they can remove ToT but keep GD, i’m sure six flags could do the same with Superman and Lex Luther.
  18. @STRAWS the drop on Giant Drop feels a lot faster than either of the 2 big boys. To me, Giant Drop is a world class ride. Love it.
  19. Out of curiosity as Giant Drop is one of my favorite rides what made it better than Zumanjaro or Lex Luthor?
  20. The thing is that Giant Drop is a far better ride experience than Zumanjo or Lex Luthor in my opinion anyway. I got three sensational front row rides on Kingda Ka (and 41 on El Toro lol) last time I visited - two of those rides courtesy of the exit passes we got for a lift hill breakdown on El Toro (hitting that anti-rollback was spine snapping, I thought the lift hill cable broke).
  21. potentially because VRTP is happy with the locals One Pass customer count, they don't need to offer a discount.
  22. "Food selection leaves alot to be desired, there is a choice between Mexican and a typical theme park burger" That's not very nice, we also have fish and chips
  23. I heard/read that Six Flags is probably looking at closing Superman in the near future because of its cost and reliability issues. I’d love to see Giant Drop reclaim the world record, especially over 13 years later.
  24. Lol the germans aren’t wrong. The Mack family runs Europa park at Disney level efficiency with numerous common models to movie world and across the village roadshow chain generally. Why doesn’t village upper management take a trip there on their next purchase from them and observe how they do things? Hilarious how inept village has been at this when movie world gets similar attendance figures to many parks in Europe and yet hasn’t ever figured out you can dispatch a coaster train in less than 5 minutes. You want to be world class you should act like it. World class theme parks don’t have half the rides shut going into the busiest period of the year. People coming from overseas take the piss out of how we do things.
