Just for comparison, Steel Taipan was running one train yesterday, with waits of 30-45 minutes, but the second train was put on for their Halloween event and it ran with a 15 minute wait (only groups in the station with no further queues) pretty much all night.

I went to Fright Nights tonight so I'm going to leave a short review of the night. The actors were great and made the atmosphere really exiting. The mazes were great Dethrow and Conjuring was definitely the best 2 there. DCEASED had great props but it was to big and open to create any fear. And all the actors did was scream in your face it was pretty bad for all the hype it got originally. The bush man near where Green Lantern however was great scared the shi# outta me. The rides were packed with lines I skipped the ques as I brought Fastrack. I was disappointed in the Wild West Falls though with still many effects broken and apart from the lighting package the ride didn't really have a fright nights overlay it was a lot of fun though. Final Thoughts I give it a 8 out of 10 I still think they let to many people in for the size of the park. And my rating for the staff is a 9 out of 10 the actors were nice and funny. The Maze operators were kind of rude.

This is my interpretation of the layout. I made a GIF to help explain. In regards to the ability for the layout to be run forwards and backwards: if the train leaves the station travelling forwards, and performs this exact layout every single time, then the train will always re-enter the station travelling forwards. If however, they choose to program the ride to do the green/red loop twice then you'll get the train re-entering the station alternating backwards/forwards. The choice to do the green/red loop an infinite number of times (as others have stated already) is the beauty of this new mechanism and layout. You could potentially run a longer cycle during off-peak, and the shorter cycle on-peak.

Spotted - first look! (thanks Spy)

Even though that post is getting on in years, those of us at the top of the Parkz Upwards Seating Pit fondly remember the days before we had all these safety systems - like scooby fire eyes, and cantilevered soundstage roofing, to a more simpler time, when a simple, thigh-high gate was the only barrier to a world of memories in a ride SBNO. Those of us who were there will continue to espouse your legacy, and tell stories to the children (on school holidays when they're all here) of a time when a true hero went on a quest (and broke every damn rule in the process!) Glad to see you're still kicking around mate. Enjoy the holiday.
