Yeah two things... I'm pretty sure the company I work for doesn't have any amusement rides, in the dark or otherwise so... burn fail! second this emerging trend of people trying to out other members personal lives on these forums is not cool and won't be tolerated so it can stop now. Cause otherwise I'm just going to start banning people.

There are a few spots, and yes, meant to simulate the earthquake. Not sure how it's done.

I swear that @Theme Park is some sort of experimental AI.

Just a hobby project for YouTube. I'll post it on here once it's done

I wonder how many times over the years people have walked inside from the bright Sun only to crash into/trip over the queue rails and chains inside the main queue and actually hurt themselves? I was saying this to my other half only just the other day when a couple in front of us walked into a chain and we agreed it's an accident that's easily avoidable. #1 the entry host simply needs to do their job by ensuring the queue chains are adjusted and tidied according to the wait. #2 If there is little to no wait, Entry Host 'groups' Guests just inside the entry for a few moments to allow eyes to adjust to the darkness before entering the Building. #3 install LED tape lighting that runs along the queue floor and with a flick of a switch, the Entry Host can change the lights to direct Guests in the queue, little bit like an Airport runway. The LED's could be colourful like green, purple, deep red to add to the ambience of the room. As for the areas of the queue being damaged by fidgity Guests, perhaps consider some Curtains/drapes for the corridor and still have the dungeon lights poking through the gaps and maybe some gold ropes holding back the edges to enhance the look. Whilst they are at it, please fix the back stage light shining through from behind the monitor. It breaks the themeing and looks just crap. A simple scurting curtain across the top would do the trick.

First rule of que design, if people are bored they will damage shit... Good parks don't let them be bored Ok parks make it so they can't damage stuff The rest do neither... Great parks are of course all run by Disney and do both

I mean, they could just put a few overhead lights in, they're pretty cheap. Also, some theming in the ride. Where's that at?

I was definitely cast during the Sunway era, however I grew up not far from the park and visited often. that level of service and 'show' wasn't really applicable even from 1994ish onwards. You probably could say Sunway had a lot to do with the standard slip, but i think it had slipped prior to their takeover, leaving them with no standards to follow in that regard.

Oh wow! That's awesome. You did a great job Roachie!

He's the one who helped make that video for MW, he was most likely summoned to read your great feedback about it.

Why have you summoned the Roachie? What have I done wrong!?

*In a really poor attempt at an american accent - pretty much like all the other voiceovers \ videos in the park. @Roachie

I love the queue lighting idea with LED, but to put them into the floor would need to be recessed, which is a lot of work, and will also ruin the themeing, since the floor is stencilled. A similar idea would be to have 'fixed' queue rails, rather than chains, which could have the lights mounted in a pelmet under the top rail. It would light them clearly enough underneath that people would see them. Colour change is nice, but probably unnecessary (and even with good intentions, the colour change probably would fall into disuse, or be broken). A single colour, even if it were red, blue, or warm white (please no cool white) on a dim setting would probably be sufficient. Any moveable sections, which would be chains, could easily have a light mounted on the end of the post shining across that path and illuminating the chain. Whether they have plans to do anything with the queue or not, its probably too late for them to have it ready for the refurbishment which is due to be ready by christmas, and further, they're unlikely to spend more money on a ride that is over a decade old, even if it is a popular one, unless it is part of the refurb and therefore part of the budget. It would be nice to have the queue rails lit somewhat better than they are, but they've survived this long without a major lawsuit, so its probably not a high priority. As for the curtains in the hallway, an excellent suggestion! And +1 for hiding the work light back of house. Whether or not they do narrow the queue line (they probably won't) people up against cloth aren't as likely to be able to do damage. Do it in a dark colour that pens or texta aren't likely to show up much (black or black patterned is probably best), and as long as they're a continuous drape from one end to the other, you're unlikely to have much issue with people getting in behind them... and even if they do, the drapes will naturally fall back into place, hiding it. The only issue with drapery is permanent installations do tend to look disgusting after a while - even the ones in main street are looking tired, and the only reason they look as good as they do is because being outside in the wind and the rain keeps the dust off. Inside that hallway, they'd be very dusty, very quickly.

I finally got a chance to get up to QLD and visit my favourite park, Dreamworld. I've gotta say, it's sad to see the park in its current state but it looks like they are finally committed to getting things back up and running. Hopefully 2017-2018 will bring the revival of Dreamworld and will create many more great memories for families for years to come. It's bittersweet that I won't be able to come back for a few years but by the time I get back, the park will be completely different back to how it used to be with all rides/areas of the park open and operational.

Where's my red carpet?

you're getting all the sneaky peaks before they end up on socials. Feel spesh?

So just saving this post because ARDENT will a\have an AGM OCT -- DEC

TG opening in June 2018

I have been at MW for the last 2 days and have had a total of 4 people vomit while I was in the queue over the day. You can see all the things they have been eating all over the floor of the train. It looks yummy.

Meanwhile in January i had a kid vomit on me mid Pandamonium.

When I visited MovieWorld many years ago I remember seeing the Batwing shoot up into the sky as a stream of vomit followed and then fell to the ground. That's the only time i've ever seen anyone throw up on a ride. I felt sorry for anyone else on that ride at the same time.

I once saw a cascade effect on the tumbler. It started up the top and trickled its way down from cage to cage.

Rivals closed completely today due to technical issues for about an hour. Only one train operating. Lots of people vomiting so large delays.
