Sea World penguins to get new enclosure
myk replied to dreamworld_rulz's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It will be in the exact same spot as the Penguin exhibit now. It will just be revamped and made a lot "more safe". -
Who were you told by saberon? I don't think anything has been announced properly yet.

Terror Canyon 3? ;P

Mick Doohan Motocoaster construction discussion
myk replied to AugustVonPolen's topic in Theme Park Discussion
That's great news that it is opening behind the Log Ride! Hopefully we'll see further development up into that stage. Chaos, nobody knows dates of anything right now. Nothing has been released, or confirmed. Patience is a virtue! -
Well remember, Movie World is going for the whole "chase the thrill" sort of thing now. I think the Italian Job sort of type ride would be a good choice - sort of like Mullholland Madness at DCA but with more themeing rather than just road signs.
-
I think it may be because it is a known fact in Australia that the Gold Coast holds the monopoly on theme parks. Plus, Fox Studios has what, 3 rides? And Sega was basically a large Timezone. This is probably just one of the factors, I'm sure there are numerous others.

I think you feel way less secure in a cloverleaf, especially when you go down backwards. I think this is because of the force applied - 2 people are pushing you down rather than just one.
-
Hopefully this means they can flip FlowRider over. And maybe build a nice Dreamworld entrance.
-
Wow, they just happened to get the front seat. Lucky.
-
At least the spot is easy to take photos of from ToH or even the road beside WWW.

Does Kingda Ka work the same way as Superman, with the catch car and everything? Because I swear I saw a catch car thing in the track.
-
Hmm, maybe Gazza. I know I'm hoping for a dark mammoth - it would certainly be a good competitor for WnW's version. Maybe we could expect a water-based attraction also? It is quite a large space for 2 slides. I think we can certainly rule out a decent lazy river though. Let's hope it keeps to the standard and quality that WWW currently holds.

First litter of Sumatran tiger cubs at Tiger Island
myk replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
That's what I'm saying. It shouldn't be up to humans to fix these problems of extinction because they shouldn't have occured in the first place. -

myk replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
If it was in the best interest of the tigers, nature would determine that. Obviously, that isn't the way it works. I suppose they can't be to blame. It is the fault of the people who are killing off these animals for their skin etc. If they didn't, tiger cubs wouldn't have to be taken away from their mothers and raised in zoo's. -

What the hell. They can't "remove" them. That's an absolute joke. Not fair to the mother of those cubs, or the cubs themselves. -
Nah it is way smoother, I rode it on Friday. My head only hurt a little bit when I got off and it went away soon after. The back seems to beat you around more than the front.
-
Non weather event related hahaha. Nice call
-
I would expect a Rocket or Bowl to compete with WWW, but that's excellent news. Thanks for the picture. I really hope Movie World adds another attraction this year. It is a smart move by WnW to add attractions later in the year, it may convince annual pass holders to purchase another pass.

They were playing 007 music today at Movie World. How could this be integrated into a ride?
-
Don't get too excited WnW, this is Dreamworld we are talking about here.

It's a flash site. It may be because you have a popup blocker installed.

When I saw the concept art for the first time of this new waterpark, my reaction was "Oh my god". http://www.aquaticabyseaworld.com/Main.aspx This park looks absolutely amazing. Make sure you watch the video. This article is from www.ultimaterollercoaster.com: "Aquatica SeaWorld Orlando's Third Park To Open March 2008 Eric Gieszl Editor Aquatica, Sea World Orlando Water ParkOrlando, FL -- SeaWorld Orlando today announced they've begun construction on Aquatica, a one-of-a-kind water park that they're claiming only they could create. Opening March 2008, the third SeaWorld theme park in Orlando, will blend up close animal experiences from serene to extreme, high-speed thrills and wide, sandy beaches. "SeaWorld is famous for immersing guests in the mystery of the sea and its animals," said Jim Atchison, executive vice president and general manager of SeaWorld Orlando. "Aquatica takes this immersion to a new level, inviting guests to play in, over, and under the water itself." This unique water park will cover 60 acres with lush landscaping inspired by the South Sea Islands. Inside the park crystal-blue rivers will wind through hidden grottos and refreshing waterfalls, while rich greenery and bright flowers adorn towering rock formations. Aquatica is to be an immersive experience and the landscaping will play an important role according to SeaWorld. The park will also what they're calling brightly colored, quirky buildings, topped with swooping, pitched roofs to create an uplifting carefree setting. This will be the first water park to incorporate live animals from lands all over the world. Aquatica will have Commerson's dolphins, macaws and a colorful assortment of tropical fish on display. The park will feature a total of 36 water slides, six rivers and lagoons and more than 80,000 square feet of beach area. Sea World says the park will feature some of the most thrilling water rides in the world. Some of the attractions will be the first of their kind by zooming, floating and splashing guests through animals habitats and undersea adventures. Aquatica's signature attraction will plunge riders in clear tubes through a crystal-blue lagoon with black-and-white Commerson's dolphins. Guests will slide through a tube while underwater in one of the water parks aquariums. This park is saying this attraction will make guests feel as if they are flying beneath the sea among these beautiful animals. Commerson dolphins are similar in appearance to SeaWorld's killer whales, however they're much smaller. Sea World says they're also fast, agile swimmers, which will make them the perfect inhabitants for this lively park. The park will also feature a colorful mix of racing tunnels, raft rides, and rivers offer crashing surf and high-speed thrills, while pools, lagoons and lazy rivers invite guests to enjoy Aquatica at a slower pace. Aquatica will have the world's only side-by-side wave pools offering a very different experience. The two wave pools can be operated independently or together. SeaWorld plans to offer crashing waves and five-foot tall swells in one and gentle rolling surf in the other. A total of nine different wave patters can be created throughout the two pools. The park says they'll have the ability to generate one immense wave or even "dueling" waves. A series of rivers will wind their way through Aquatica and offer different experiences. One river carries guests through gentle waterfalls, past exotic birds and into an undersea grotto with thousands of colorful fish. An adjacent river will offer pure thrills, jetting riders through rolling rapids, geysers and racing waters. Guests who enjoy a little competition will find excitement with Aquatica's colorful eight-lane racing slides. The park will also offer more thrills with a triple-drop raft ride, double inner tube slides and a six-story family ride. The park will also construct one of the world's largest interactive water play areas. The colorful rain fortress will rise up six stories above a 15,000 square-foot pool. The park says the entire family can play together blasting water cannons or zoom down slides. A separate children's pool will offer slides and activities for the park's youngest guests. SeaWorld says they're designing the park to limit wait times and provide easy access to rides, attractions and restaurants. Beachside wait service will also be available. Private cabanas will also be available for rent. Aquatica will be the first SeaWorld water park and its third park in Orlando. SeaWorld Adventure Park is the company's original Orlando property and that was followed by the addition of Discovery Cove in July 2000. "In a destination famous for immersing families in fun, the SeaWorld parks offer the ultimate in family togetherness, connecting guests to the sea -- and with each other -- in three immersive, interactive, but very different, ways," said Joe Couceiro, corporate vice president of marketing. Discovery Cove offers a very different experience with its limited attendance policy. At Discovery Cove guests have up-close encounters with the park's Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, rays and tropical fish. Aquatica water park will open in March 2008 at SeaWorld Orlando." I'm going to America at the end of 2008.. it will be in winter though
