A few quick piece of housekeeping for everyone: Posts to do with the fake track have been moved over to that thread. That's not an open invitation to post bogus photos/news/etc. but rather a single place that we can deal with it if/when we have to. There's a reason all the 'erection' posts have disappeared. They're really not as funny as you think they are. Likewise talking post after post about how many pages this topic has existed for really isn't interesting. Not everything you post has to be serious or on-topic but almost everything posted here lately has just been filler. If there's nothing new to talk about then just don't post.

Nice find! It's also a great look ahead to what the park will look like in 2019

So many incidents with these Chinese and Indian knock off rides, it's really scary.

You mean? https://qimagery.information.qld.gov.au/ Whoops? Was that supposed to be a secret or something? It's lucky, normally images should credit the original source anyways. He'res a few I've found on there: Logan Wild Waters, which is where Hyperdome is now: The Weigand toboggan run that was at Samford grass ski park Olympia Water park at Alex headland. The old terror canyon and river rapids slides, before they were replaced with terror canyon 1 & 2 Some small park in Oxley behind Harvey Norman, where the slide tower was standing as recently as 2008. Has a minature railway, slides, go karts, and some sort of animal exhibit?

Hey @Gazza @joz @Slick - can we have this post reverted to what it was before (before it was edited to not look so embarrassing)?

What do they get out of blowing their marketing load early? 30 people on the internet are happy? Reality is that if they announce when they're not selling next years passes they'll lose any momentum such a big announcement would bring. Also passes tend to go on sale early enough that it'll still be enough time for people to make holiday plans for later in the year. The rush to announce from everyone here makes no sense to me.

@Glubbo, @Themeparkfan is referring to the dramas last year that nearly saw the entire event called off. The 501st even publicly announced on their FB page that it was the "last ever" one due to new complications with Disney licensing. Obviously they managed to come to some kind of mutual agreement in the end to see the event continuing into the future. Which is good news ☺️?

I think they're busy selling this years passes rather than next years. I'd expect an announcement to roughly coincide with when renewals for VIP passes come out.

Aww, you've gone soft. They were worthy of a bit of a giggle at least. It has now been 446 days since the application was lodged. That's 1 year, 2 months, 19 days so far and we're still waiting on an announcement. We're going to get to the point where the track arrives, gets constructed, theming is installed then maybe we'll get a press release saying "oh yeah, we're opening this next week". I can understand if there was supposed to be an announcement back in Oct/Nov which could have been put on hold thanks to TRR, and then just maybe I could accept, albeit at a stretch, that they were busy promoting White Christmas and Carnivale. Thing is now we're in February. this coaster is set to open in approx 225 days. We still have no official word on what's happening. Maybe it's just my short attention span, maybe it was the over-saturation of VRTP events between October-January, but with nothing going on on this from an official standpoint, for some reason I'm getting over it fairly quickly. All the speculation is getting old and we're resorting to spreading fake information/photos just to keep some kind of discussion going. I'm not even sure now if I'll be all that excited once the announcement is finally made. Anyway, that's my tiny rant for the day.

Horrifying.

Honestly I should close this topic. But it's such a train wreck that I can't bring myself to do it. And yes, obviously Theme Parks a Go-Go will be your go to source for theme park news, unless it's sold to one of the other pages first.

Lol funny. But come on guys you all know if there's gonna be a real scoop you're gonna see it on Theme Parks A Go-Go before anywhere else.

I lost nothing

RIP joke. 31/1/17 - 31/1/17
