That's what I love. It's something that is so bizarre to market that is also just flat out wrong. I wouldn't mind it as much either, but that crown would still go to Luna Park Melbourne's Speedy Beetle is inside Scenic Railroad. I reckon at this point just go all in and call it the World's First Roller Coaster. I'm not an engineer and could be talking out my ass but hear me out. Flash is at the center of a sea of hollow tubular steel that would vibrate with some significant force when Superman goes around the track. Now factor in that Flash is essentially one giant tuning fork. If those vibrations propagated over to the similarly hollow steel structure of Flash via resonance could it cause some problems outside of the original manufacturing standards?

In the past week ties were added onto the rails of the track in some areas (pictured below), im going to guess it could be a potential structural issue with the track. (Theme Park Ogre) I zoomed in so you could see them better hence the questionable quality. The track is also definitely down today (had a look on instagram location to check it out)

Would now be the right time to discuss the Freaky Frogs erasure in the Flash marketing? I can stand the lies, but ignoring an Aussie icon like Freaky Frogs is taking it too far.

You're not gonna bring in heavy lift equipment and remove track sections unless it's necessary. You're not doing that just on pretence. My guess is either they've discovered an issue with the construction, or the manufacturer has required them to take it down for some other reason. Remember all the rumours we've heard so far is the delay is the need to recommission the ride and the manufacturer wasn't available to do it. What i've heard is only the upper sections have been removed - the lower (mostly red) sections remain, so either it's halfway done if they're pulling it all out, or the issues are only with the top sections.

Probably so they can justify the April opening

It's been pointed out to me elsewhere that the city of whittlesea has published a building approval for demolition of the go karts to accommodate a proposed lazy river and dodgem cars. application was submitted 19/5 and approved 18/7.
