Here is some updated pictures of the expansion! Its crazy to now understand the size of H2Oasis, this will end up being a welcomed addition and will provide so much relief to Wet'n'Wild Junior in summer and on busier days.

Double Barrel is indeed complete and the final drop for Kaboom is in place too

Ok can we please stop saying Zero Car? A piece of decorative plastic stuck on the front of the train is NOT a Zero Car, its just a front cowling. A zero car is the extra set of bogies/ wheel assemblies/ whatever you want to call them that finish off the train on a coaster that has single axel cars. Either at the front, or at the back. Without a Zero Car attached the train can't run because the end car would be dragging along the floor. So they added a piece of decorative plastic to the train is what they did.

Here's the zero car! 👀

The Bro is having problems with the main circulating pumps with the required pressure not high enough to run the slides. hydro coaster was working fine on Tuesday. the op explained the wedgie/green room situation and said due to social distancing both could not be run at the same time. also very notable that what were called waves in the wave pool have become even smaller. Not even much of a ripple effect during wave session. the flow rider still remains in place but is looking run down as it has not been maintained. Looks like the old shop for it has been cleared out. Possibly ready for demolishment. From the little ripper slide tower the dreamworld express still sits next to the maintenance sheds. The pictures of the cranes removing the switch points has revealed they have been stored in the back of house area behind WWW.

Indoor boat ride with a rooftop deck 😋

With a new iPhone on the way, hopefully this is the last Android quality photo you'll see from me... The west side of drop:

I reckon one of two things has happened here: 1) Whether it was guest complaints or wanting to minimise wear and tear (probably both), the park consulted Gerstlauer over the break and found that that running the ride at the upper-end of the heat limit combined with having passenger loads in the upper-end of weight limit was making the ride rough. The ride is designed with a 650kg passenger weight average (track calculations, trains etc.) so then the easiest solution was to pop in a solution that gives operators an easy way to keep an eye on a total passenger load's weight. 2) Someone at Lloyd's or the park did a new RA over the break and decided the 650kg suggested limit could interpreted as a hard limit if an accident was to occur and decided not to take the chance. If it was Lloyd's, the two choices the park would've had was to either do as they're told or have no insurance at all and thus not be able to operate the park. Either way, the park could do a lot more in future PR issues to quell public backlash and get ahead of it before it got really out of hand. A business their size should definitely invest in having someone on retainer who understands their business and can respond on their behalf. From the outset they needed to be transparent and explain what's going on and why. Here's an example of great immediate transparency squashing confusion and speculation: Also, weighing folks is unusual for a dry ride, not un-common for wet rides, if I was the park I would've released something like the following: Acknowledges the problem, states the facts, it's transparent, and for anyone who still feels jipped there's an out. It's honestly just really hard to argue with safety too, and if everyone else globally is doing it, it shows that it's not just Adventure World being over the top.

But to be honest the train on a coaster should be able to weigh itself by measuring the power draw on the kicker wheels in the station, and throw up an error code if its overloaded.
