  2. DC Rivals Hypercoaster update photo dump for the 5th of August Comparison Shot 1 and 3 quarters Lift Hill and First Drop Am I falling or is the coaster? Either way, it'll be nice to compare what it looks like once the Joker face is done. Random Progression Shots Fence toppers Rakes This is where the toppers stop. In front of the gardens which are in front of the entry arch... the one below. That's where support concreting has finished. This is before the loop and includes the loop lead in and the re-turn before the bunny hills. Underneath the Inclined Dive Loop - landscaping, as expected, is going to be extensive. Random Nice-looking Shots The storage lot won't be of much use anymore Wider shot of the station area theming Operator control booth is progressing rapidly Panorama(s) Morning Afternoon Green Lantern Comparison

  3. News Article: http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-40742586 Official Website: http://www.morganswonderland.com/park-info/about-morgans-wonderland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's really good to see something like this existing in the world. Stumbling across this article this morning was the first time I've heard of a place like this so I don't know if something similar already exists somewhere. So have a read, have a heart and enjoy the feels trip.

  4. Don't know why, but love this photo and the angle, looking up to the top.

  5. I suspect some of the younger ones aren't aware of the term "drinking the kool aid", and that is why we can't have nice things?

  6. Probably not, given their construction workers and operators have Sundays off. It would just be sitting there in the Logan Steel construction yard over today, anyway. At least by keeping it on site, it means they don't have to cart it back and forth and it's ready to go at 6am tomorrow when work continues

  8. They're doing fine now. Bankruptcy is almost a completely different thing in the states. Filing for chapter 11 over there gives businesses an opportunity to restructure various facets of the business to maintain operation, where-as here going bankrupt basically means closing the doors ala Wow Sight & Sound. With all that said, most people who have been here longer than six months knows that the "OMGZ DISNEY IZ COMINGS" thing comes and goes all too often, and I think all the mods, myself included, have banged our collective heads against the wall in trying to explain why again and again, that a "Magic Kingdom" style Disney park is not coming here for a long, long time. It's not the most profitable industry unless you're Disney or Universal and have crazy-good vertical integration of your core product. However, in the next few years with upturn in tourism, exposure from the games and the dollar settling in to a routine, I think we'll definitely continue to see more investment in the area. I don't think it's unreasonable to see someone like Merlin build a Legoland here in the next decade. Ultimately there's a reason why we really only have two major theme parks on the Gold Coast. Anyone, like that mob who wanted to build in Nerang, who say they'll throw around hundreds of millions of dollars to build a theme park here, are either misinformed or lying to get the land. To put it real simply, even the smallest Disney park (Hong Kong) peaks at about 35,000 guests per day, meaning we'd have to basically triple our current theme park tourism throughput on the Gold Coast to support what Disney would describe as their biggest failure in the chain. Looking at the most successful Disney parks (Magic Kingdom / DisneySea), we're talking somewhere around a tenfold increase in tourism to support a park that big, and that's without considering the neighbouring parks, resorts etc. etc. etc.

  10. I was thinking back row. Sustained airtime a lot of the way down a twisted 200ft drop. Absolutely insane.

  12. IMO they could have got a better name though. Wonder Woman Golden Lasso? Like whaaat? It should be called McDonald's: The ride. Well at least it would suit the colour scheme better.

  13. The first supports have also been installed and the rest are on the ground ready to be installed tomorrow. No sign of the Joker head, but it is expected to be open tomorrow. The lift hill motor is under the shelter, and should be installed tomorrow or Monday depending on progress. The exterior of the station is also nearly complete, and more theming going up.

  21. Good to see that Conjuring is going back to that location, as it was really good in there last year, especially with the build up it had.

  22. I'm not sure if this is allowed since I am new to this forum site but... I was wondering if you kind people would like to participate in a short survey which only has 10 questions. It is a survey for my business feasibility study/assignment for school. I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could participate. It really does help me out a lot. Thank you and kind regards. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Z8WHQRF (this is the link to the survey)

  23. We need a Themepark with HUGE rollercoasters, like MovieWorld is pretty decent But, imagine if we got Six Flags? We could get a RMC, B&M And all the other companies we have never got before! Id Rather Six Flags to Disney, because Disney is like a kids park, that's why we have SeaWorld for the little kids, Disney might use a lot of money but that Dosent mean there the best.
