that's mnew

Well that will really fit in with the motor racing theme, you know with all those reversing races they do these days.... ?!?!?!?

it can't follow the current track backwards, that is a complete impossibility. After the lift hill it's speed and gravity that takes the train on its journey. Without that at the start it couldn't get around the track and given the poor English used by of the OP, is it possible we are just getting a new Kumbak train, and the OP misinterpreted that we are getting a 'Kum' back train, as in backwards. Me thinks so

These shots are from AW's Facebook Page today - everything else is miniscule by comparison.

& that kumbak is doing the trains. Please try to English Trevor. I'm not believing a word of this until I have proper proof. If a reliable member posted this, I would probably believe it, but you haven't really proven yourself as the best source of information.

Meaning: I was at the park today and was speaking to a staff member who said that the Cyclone's car will be reversed and is expected to be like this from Boxing Day.

I was the park today and the a staff at the it is going to be at the park by December the 26 boxday the car are come kum back coaster sstefft the park

Are you trying to tell us that the Cyclone running backwards is a fact or just a rumour? If fact, please post some sort of source of reference. It's a bit hard to take your post seriously without anything over than a statement with nothing to back it up.

Where did you find this out from !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is always nice to include a source, rather than saying stuff with no further explanation.

x 2. And is it Seinfeld who does the bit about airports just being cover to make money from sandwiches? Be very interesting to see the breakdown of where a park makes its money.

When the 'news' was more about who could publish it on their website first, and less about having another 6 hours until print deadline to make sure the story was polished properly. The number of typos, spelling mitsakes, poor fact-checking and otherwise shoddy journalism comes from the lack of 'paper' in the newspaper. And this isn't their fault either. It's ours. It's us needing to know what happened an hour ago in London, complete with gory pictures and amateur shot video, instead of a breaking news bulletin 'via wireless' and perhaps some imagery in the 6 o'clock news, if there was satellite time available to stream the vision. These days we're content with iPhone (shot in bloody PORTRAIT!!!!) video from the nearest onlooker who shared to his social media site. If you were the sole witness, with footage, on the scene of a major newsworthy incident 15 years ago, you could hold the networks to ransom for the highest fee for permission to use your video. Now they go onto social media, and can use anything published publicly without negotiation... all with the bad narratives of 'oh my god' and 'bleeeeeeeep' along the way. It's not news... it's Syndicated MegaBlogging to the widest possible audience.

You obviously don't have kids lol. Believe me, when you do, you'll be forever caving to "can I PLEASE have a churros, mum?" and "can we go look in the candy shop?" and "I'm hungry/thirsty.... can we get popcorn/frozen coke?" etc. Oh, and don't forget the green cape for the junior Green Lantern fan, and the MW jewelry accessory for the tween daughter. Kids don't run on schedules, nor do they happily accept a homemade sandwich or a packet of chips when there is better things on offer around them Even after attempting to eat lunch outside of the parks prior to visiting, we always tend to end up buying something during nearly every visit. Another prime example of where the parks make their money. And you wonder why they encourage families so much to buy annual asses (buy 3, get 1 free) lol... seems fairly obvious to me

but then isn't this just another off topic topic? I think we should merge this thread.... with a full salad bar... and don't skint on the desserts! In other news, dolphin rides rollercoaster it's not a link you fool!

Also reported in the Courier Mail. I totally agree re: the maintenance - they're pointing it out as if to say 'if only the maintenance were done sooner, this wouldn't have happened!' All you need for a stop is for someone to take too long to load\unload. A elderly person stepping out of the car catches their foot on the lip and over they go. Risk of further injury is too great that I would expect the unloader not to move them - thereby stacking the ride and shutting it down... I don't get why there is so much focus from the media these days. very slow news day no doubt, but it seems incidents like Smiler and GL have now sensationalised regular old 'breakdowns' as being a story. Sounds like it's just a journalist's way of spending more 'work time' at the parks.

hahah well it doesn't work on me i always take my own food in and never buy any of their crap over priced merchandise in the shops.

Just a warning -- we're keeping a close eye on this one and we'll be deleting any posts that veer too close to being on-topic.

Your source for this?
