^Facepalm! How did NOBODY think of that before? Fits the cyclone theme perfectly... still features a turbine.... DREAMWORLDYOUNEEDTODOTHISSORTOFSHITYESTERDAY!

Perfect option to add to the end of any Flowrider session - call it Blowrider... great way to dry off (yes, that name probably isn't a good idea)

There are petitions online in social media, and slathered all over Sky's pages calling for her to be fired.

2012 called. So far everything that the current CEO has done, particularly in the last 12 months, has been anything but ruin the park.

Also very true. Then you have to consider that some coasters like say Storm at Sea World are designed to purposefully ignore the heartline to throw you out of your seat laterally much in the same case of the newer RMC coasters (Texas Giant being one of those) or even on a more basic level, every Wild Mouse since ever. Generally speaking it's not a one size fit all argument for why or how some coasters are smooth, rough or just plain suck. In the case of Cyclone, i've ridden it just recently and found it to be no different to when I rode it a few months back or even a year ago. It's certainly not the worst coaster i've been on, and they did a great job making a custom used ride fit in again with WhiteWater World's waterslides. It just needs aesthetic love. The train is a shadow of its former self - the original red fibreglass is really showing now in large scratched off chunks, the padding is old and worn and frankly the entire queue is just a fix ontop of a fix ontop of a fix. Frankly i've always wondered why they never bothered to install a vertical wind tunnel into the centre of that queue. It'd be the most fitting upsell attraction that Dreamworld have ever put in and would keep guests entertained for hours.

^absolutely. In the recent 60th Anniversary launch, where the park was open for 24 hours straight, I tuned into several live webcams at both parks. I enjoyed just watching Main Street traffic go by, an occasional street performer or entertainment group - probably spent 20-30 minutes just watching the world go by... Of course later I had alarms set to prompt me to tune back in so as to catch the Main Street Parades in both WDW and DL, and later - the fireworks over both parks also... Last time they did a 24 hour event - they had a webcam overlooking Fantasmic - which I made the special effort to watch also. There's just something about the magic of a Disney park - you don't need to go on a single ride, or see a single show, and somehow, you can still enjoy a day just watching the world go by inside it's gates. On my last trip to DL, There was a girl who had her leg in a very serious looking cast. Clearly - she wasn't riding anything. Her friends would walk her from smoking area to smoking area (there was about 3 we saw her at in the park) and she'd spend an hour or two sitting, enjoying the sunshine (and having an occasional cigarette) whilst her friends rampaged through the rides nearby. Given that they could have easily used her as an excuse to be backdoored in many of the attractions, she clearly enjoyed 'just being' within the park.

@AlexB I saw that petition on Facebook being forwarded by a friend in London who has no interest in theme parks at all. Glad to see that the wider community saw the interview for what it was.

Good. I must have spent a good 10 minutes yelling abuse and criticism at my phone screen whilst watching that interview. I know there was a pre-warning about it, but damn..... she fired me up ???

​That was actually mind blowing. She might actually be the most stupid, rude ignorant and downright unintelligent person in the news business today.
