@franky it’s been open for almost 4 years and you’re right in saying it pretty much hasn’t had a long maintenance period (I think the longest was a month around the time of the Giant Drop refurb). To my understanding the park were able to develop a maintenance plan with Mack Rides that ensure the ride does receive its proper maintenance, without compromising the guest experience. Checks happen out side of park hours, and they ensure they have a sufficient amount of stock for all the parts they may require so it doesn’t delay reopening. The biggest maintenance job is generally on the trains, but they schedule those to have maintenance completed during school terms, so they can continue to operate it with one train. I’ve witnessed first hand how some of these checks occur and it’s certainly an impressive, thorough and effective process.

Yeah Steel Taipan is the exact same in the maintenance bay - but dreamworld has what I presume is a carrier\frame to load the cars onto sat outside the station building. It's a wonder MW doesn't have this, and a wonder that MACK haven't had to solve this problem previously given how many of these cars are in use worldwide. As for 'you can't just uncouple one car' - bullshit. you totally could if you wanted to. Might have cost more \ required more heavy machinery to do it right, and probably needing manufacturer \ engineer sign off when the train was finally rebuilt - and ultimately the winch out method they went with would have been cheaper and easier to do, but you could have unbolted the running gear and craned the cars onto the back of a truck anytime you liked. Big difference between can't, and don't want to. Yeaahhhhhh I think you'll find in the context Brad was referring to - he meant the annual maintenance - the one period you didn't mention in your reply.

Could be that all of those slides are on the same water pump, which would need to be shut off for modifications.

Or the markets can take advantage of FNL, with a live audience.

If Big Brother does this right, this is essentially just IRL Twitch. Edit: Some quick Twitch stats thanks to Google AI (so... very possibly wrong) 2.5 million people tune into the Twitch at any given moment Japan and Australia have a combined userbase of 4.1 million Twitch users, making up 1.6% of the platform In Australia, Twitch users are predominantly in the 18-34 age group, with 75% being male So if those details are anywhere near accurate, there is a big gap in the female "twitch" market. BB doesn't need to get an influencer onboard with the cast, but they likely will need them onboard talking about the show

I doubt Dreamworld are providing anything for free and in fact the park is probably making decent money from this partnership and they’re getting a lot of advertising. If the Friday Night Games are indeed returning and occur within the park again, then it’s a way to show the country how good the park is looking and that people should return.

I don't think he got it.

So per @Jobe's original - they can name this first car as B1 and the second car they get can be B2!
