Its easier to design a working interdimensional portal than it is to keep teenagers doing thing for shits and gigs.

Pushed back can mean a few things. Buzzsaw was pushed back into the station. Buzzsaw maintenance date has been pushed back to the 2nd. This isn't twitter.

I was about to post the exact same thing. Looks good... but why?

I'm intrigued. Please, do tell.

You should if you're themeparkaddict or are you fake?

I thought DW are doing this now. Shockwave has its unique restraint system now so it wouldn't surprise me if we see addons to other rides. Would it surprise me if DW stick a cage on the log? NO. Is it a stupid idea? YES. If anything, at least DW are consistent with coming up with stupid ideas.

Traditional IMAX is shot on 70mm, 15 perf film that is so large they ditch the audio track on the negative and throw it through the camera with air blasters, the result of which though is a picture that's considered the holy grail of cinema - the perspective, the resolution, not to mention the crazy audio setups they put into theatres was nothing short of incredible. The problem with such a huge negative was that it was insanely expensive to print film for theatric releases. To bridge the gap, IMAX started introducing a replacement digital system, which was pretty damn bad. Think two, 2K projectors creating a dithered image versus the equivalent of a 12K image. It's just not the same. Their new, laser based 4K dithering system is a lot better, but still a huge cry from the original GT 70mm projectors they used in places like Sydney. TLDR, IMAX film was massive. Huge. Inspiring. But it was expensive, and all the things that made IMAX film so good still haven't been faithfully recreated yet.

They’ve literally built a replacement volcano for the BT one they ripped down... wonder if they’ll connect the gas line this time?

Posts like the above make me want to go back to not posting anything FYI

Thing is DW could actually convert that cinema to IMAX Digital given it's a smaller size screen. Apart from licensing that's a lot cheaper to run. Nothing will ever replace the amazingness that 'was' Sydney's IMAX 70mm in 2D on the worlds biggest screen. I feel like that's a dying thing and question if Sydney will even re-open at that size.

Buzzsaw Pushed Back! 2nd December PS. To the person who put a confused face for this post, please tell me what confuses you about a push back.

Rainbows End this morning. Ever since that Pirate Ship closed, this place has died. Challenge: Spot the person! Oh wait, there is none! (above) And YES, this was taken when the park was open. Around 11am.
