Massive news! And who else would you expect to break the story!

Youve changed your tune since the start of the thread!

Bizarro spotted in the area today.

Yeah a scissor lift is a form of height access equipment commonly used in construction.

^Doesn't have to be a direct clone of the one in China though does it? Coasters can do these things called turns lol, that help them fit onto sites.

My money is still on a flash themed launched coaster. If chain lift, something to wonder woman's jet.

LOL TPSN walked straight past the boxes.

We've discussed the timeshare companies on here previously. I fully expect this will likely get moved by a mod to that thread if the discussion continues, but in the meantime I feel compelled to respond. Firstly as disclosure - two of my close relatives have shares in Wyndham, and a friend of mine does too. My most recent trip to Disneyland Resort was at the Worldmark Anaheim (affiliate through Wyndham) and I can honestly say it was fantastic. The thing is - people don't go into these things with eyes open. Your link to Wyndham refers to it repeatedly as a scam, and they (and i'm sure anyone who knows how to use google) found countless reviews, blogs and complaints about their process... however this link also says: ...and that's the problem of the consumer. The sales tactic is legitimate. The ACCC have investigated complaints about this style of marketing and selling and found it to be in accordance with the trade practices act. People attend these 'seminars' willingly, lured by the promise of a free hotel stay, discounted tickets or small gifts. I can't comment on Ultiqa - never seen or heard of them, but Wyndham's tactics are well known, and totally legal. Anyone who signs a contract without reading it is an idiot, deserves everything they get and receive no sympathy from me. All one has to do is watch Judge Judy or The People's Court to see the same old story about how someone didn't read their contract properly. As for their appearance in the theme parks... i'm sure they pay handsomely for the privilege. The parks therefore get a revenue stream from it which allows them to buy other things we want. If you aren't interested in it, or think its a scam - a simple no thankyou, or walking on the opposite side of the path is the end of the interaction with them. If you do attend a seminar, its usually because either: 1) you're interested in what they're selling; or 2) you want something for free, which is what they promise to give you if you come. Either way - you attend because you want something out of it. They offer the free things to you to get you there. Its the cost of marketing. They could buy TV ads costing thousands, or they could purchase tickets from the theme parks wholesale and then offer them at a substantial discount. Bottom line - don't like them, don't go, but don't go, and then complain that about how you wasted 2 hours of your time, or were pressured into buying from them - thats the price of the free tablet computer \ discount tickets. Nothing is free in this world.

So was the packet of chips I just ate.

And if you can't tell that joke is out of date.

Make it 100m.. Haha. And put a false canopy over it so no helicopters can cheat a look

This is EXACTLY what Magic Mountain needs.

Hah its funny. I guess it's because it's all repeats of previous years attractions...But their Justice League rides are great! And the Joker 4D freespin coasters are pretty fun too, and popular with guests. Though SF St Louis got shafted.....they're getting a Disko.

In a Parkz article from the start of the year, there was a bit about Flash at Lewa Advenure. "The German company also offers more traditional coasters featuring lift hills, both with and without inversions. Their largest roller coaster to date is the 61 metre tall, 1273m long Flash that opened at Lewa Adventure in China earlier in 2016; this ride takes the traditional out-and-back hypercoaster ride style and adds a loop and zero-g-roll." This would be perfect IMO. It's a Hyper, Mack & has an out and back layout. I did up a rough layout from google maps & its just too big to fit in that area, keeping in mind my measuring is very rough!

Launch? Shuttle? Biggest loop? Stuff all that. No easy gimmicks, I'm hoping for just a kick ass coaster that doesn't need any gimmicks to sell itself.

Dreamworld have confirmed Tiger Island will open Sunday 18 September.

Maybe in time for FN so you've got somewhere to go when you shit yourself?

My bet is to accommodate the headset area, charging stations and the like, they're simply going to cut a hole in the wall and this extra framework will be the 'service counter' for the headsets.

I'm really impressed with how the fountain came out. looks awesome - but it seems to be causing leaks across the other side of the path... I like the sound of something being done with the castle. It takes up a crapload of space in the park and is poorly utilised. Don't think that they won't do anything big just because Movie World has something big coming too - we have to remember that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the parks to capitalise on Commonwealth Games exposure. I firmly believe all the parks have something planned before the games arrive. On what scale I don't know, but VRTP has embarked on a huge improvement program around all of the parks, as well as large capital expenditures - SW roof, TopGolf, New MW Coaster, massive WWF refurb, and whatever is happening with the Aqua Racer and Jet Streams at WnW. SW could still have something else in the pipeline. We've been so busy trying to work out whats happening at MW, things at SW could very easily have slipped under the radar.

Just going to leave these here. Construction they have started of framework near the Arkham emergency exit staircases. Assuming this is all additions for the upcoming use of VR on the ride.

...Exciting, it's almost like they knew we wanted more info...

Exclusive Parkz Media Release: Three weeks prior to opening the 2016/17 season, Adventure World already has guests planning ahead - announcing the signing of a contract for a new $7.5m attraction slated for September 2017. Codenamed “Mi3”, the new arrival continues the group’s commitment to bringing ground breaking theme park experiences to Western Australia. Mi3 will be the largest ride of its type in Australia, with a cutting edge feature that Adventure World CEO Mark Shaw advises “will literally launch guests to new heights”. “We set the benchmark with Abyss and Kraken and have spent the past year scouring the globe for a new attraction that will continue to up the ante. Having road tested four of these attractions across three continents, we are confident we have got it right and can’t wait to introduce this exciting new concept to WA” While planning continues for Mi3’s arrival, this year guests will see a number of improvements in the park. A re-themed Water Mountain, enhanced water effects on Rapids, the relaunch of the Freefall, under the new name “Inferno”, more private resort-style cabanas in Dragon Kingdom and Kahuna Falls, a lush new lawn area, and a new exclusive season pass holder entry. The season will also see the return of the popular Fright Nights events, which kick off in just under 8 weeks, along with the launch of “Summer Nights” in February, where guests can enjoy balmy summer nights at Adventure World with a live DJ. Season passes are now on Early Bird Sale at adventureworld.net.au, and pay for themselves in under three visits. Iwerks, as a rule of thumb, double the cost of the ride to get total project cost.

NO. Honestly before even considering doing something like that, they need to do their research online first. Look up both Wyndham and Ultiqua scam. There are so many horror stories about both! In a few cases, Ultiqua were sending uninterested customers away with unsigned holiday vouchers, who later discovered that they couldn't be redeemed without a signature. Others report that they have had their credit cards charged without their consent. They should be avoided at all costs, they are BAD news! A couple of the dozens of examples (and don't forget to read their comments, too) : http://www.timeshareconsumerbureau.com/news/the-wyndham-timeshare-scam https://ultiqa.wordpress.com/tag/scam/ Honestly I still question how these crooks are allowed to operate at our theme parks when there are so many negative complaints and reviews about them online. They are clearly dodgy ?

Those trees do indeed have a new home. Take a visit to Paradise Country and you may just pass em along your way. They look great.

Yeah maybe we'll be getting the world's best Larson Superloop or Zamperla Disk-o and the park decided to market it as a coaster

Dinosaurs. That'll get the crowd through the door! Who needs shade, grass and greenery when you have dinosaurs!!

@westical Retard

I think these Mack parts are for top golf. The worlds first Mack built Hyper, Top Golf with RMC assisting. * If you can't tell that above is a joke.
