Fixed.

Maybe it was an issue when they changed the water level in RollerCoaster Tycoon?

A lot of theme parks are going down this route and I hate it. My biggest gripe is that it seems to eliminate the human factor of navigation using landmarks to get around. Most people will plot a mental path in their mind and use prominent features on the map to determine whether they're going the right way but with this 3D blob and some of the other parks hyper-real isometric monstrosities it makes it really hard for the lay person to get around. Its why if you look at Disney park maps they're not accurate to scale, but they have large exaggerated features that you would naturally use as a point of reference when navigating the park and there is a lot of contrast between what is a walkway and what is not. This may not be a problem in smaller parks as eventually you'll get to where you need to go, but once you to scale up it becomes a nightmare especially with Australian park hours being very limited. I just feel a lot of parks have fixed something that ain't broke, and broken it in the process.

Is that.... Calibri?

It was confirmed that they managed to pick up a parks lead time with Mack as they normally have long lead times on projects. The coaster was not already manufactured or designed. They picked the design. The footings being like that would 100% be to save money.

It has been done on other Mack coasters before.

I wouldn't mind at a minimum if they painted the slab like they did the entry to the precinct (on the other side of Vortex). Maybe a combination of sandy, rocky or water styles, based on the theming.

As mentioned it's very likely the insurance company that's pursuing this to minimise their losses and it's not current leadership that's going down this avenue.

ardent trying to once again blame others when it was 100% their fault due to cutting corners and shoddy safety record.
