TOT has an airbag. @Jbt81 That's technical talk. I had no problems riding it before you told me it’s secured with ropes.

It's a start but I think our parks need to spend some off their own money to get the message across and not rely on the devil to deliver the message.

Ad just came on the radio. Nine news tonight "I go behind the scenes to find out why our rides keep breaking down"

@reanimated35 We need a Parkz Planet Coaster Community. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink @Richard You share with me @reanimated35 and I will let you borrow my KFC that I stole.

My computer would blow that up.

Can I share your videocard first because mine just pooped itself?

@Slick Put it his way. If you go to a park and your kid has waited for the last millisecond to tell you they need to go. Knowing all aspects of the park and what is operational is very important.

@Slick Is it up to the parks to educate the customers?

@reanimated35 can you share your work with others?

I'm not to worried about one specific incidence. We already have a topic for that. What I’m getting at is what should the parks be doing for any incident?

How can the theme parks in Australia stop people having no confidence in them? This is what what was said after the GD safety stop. “We spent the day at dream world today and obviously started off with the iconic 'giant drop.' After spending 5-10minutes stuck up the top and my missus getting quiet nervous saying 'this isn't right we shouldn't be up here for this long,' we finally came down. We were offered no explanation at the bottom, even though we were greeted servicemen/engineers and security, and were ushered along and out the gate quickly. Throughout the day we also noticed that no other visitors were riding the giant drop and it remained empty. I am disappointed in the lack of communication from the staff in this anxious time and suggest that visitors are better informed and looked after in the event of another ride failure, especially the giant drop! “ Other people’s replies “I'm glad you are both okay. “ “I didn’t see anything on the news glad your ok “ “OMG, I hope you guys are okay! I heard about this and saw you were at Dreamworld, luckily no one got injured this time! “ “Absolutely disgusting it's not good enough,this time all were ok thankfully?Same as SeaWorld some of their rides weren't operating but still full price “ “There seems to be a spate of equipment hiccups, and failures, with some of these rides, lately. Glad you guys came out on the good side of the ledger. “ “Going to buy a lotto ticket I think! “ “Its disgusting after everything thats happened there you would have tjought they would have spoke etc to you “ “Not good think things are getting to old need replacing “ “Katie Stevens this man is not concerned the sensors worked- good thing they did or who knows what could of happened. What he is saying is that there was a severe lack of communication from Dreamworld around the incident. This was a big enough incident to alert engineers and security and it even made the news. There should have been communication for all patrons who were on the ride at the time “ “now I'm freakish out about our visit “ “They haven't learned “ “OMG!!! Not good. Are you guys ok? Huge spit needs to happen- not good enough!!! So long as you 2 are ok that's the main thing it Dreamworld Gold Coast need to get their act together!!!! “ “The fact we were able to ride the attraction while it obviously wasn't in 100% working condition is in itself concerning, just expected better from dreamworld “ I totally understand people feeling like this. The media have beaten DW up and now are beating every other park up. What I would like to know from the parks is why does it come across they are not fighting back. All the parks know that every stoppage is going to be pasted everywhere. I think all the parks need to come together on this and create some type of positive campaign about why rides stop. At the very least when something does happen they need to talk to the customers. Customers are anxious and it’s up to the parks to solve this.

Yes, This is very important.

Did anybody else have to re-read this, scratch their head, get up and grab a beer and re-read it again? I gave you a positive rep @pushbutton for making me decide I needed another beer.

I've given myself an extra day off and wish something would turn up on the back of a truck today. If that doesn't happen I might end up creating a Facebook page. I will call it. "Come inside with SkeetBoy"

My situation - Entered SW Re-charged drink refills & paid $7 & something cents. Walk past do it yourself refill spot. People helping themselves. You feel like: (see below) This is one of those moments When you need a rape whistle.

I wonder what SW will charge you for a Fast Pass with one ride running.

@joz I don't think you should get started again. A cup of lemon grass might help.

Really, I only went a few days before Christmas.

@pin142 I purchased one at WnW GC and got a wrist band. I don't think it is policed because when I went to SW people were filling up whatever they could use to hold a liquid.

@MickeyD What's the issue? I'm sure you will find plenty to do over the 6 weeks it's down. I've been told the beer is good.

@themagician All the footings shown have been around for a while now.

I think on this one we will never agree.

" The concrete needs to cure before support columns can be attached, hence such a large gap between when they're poured and when we'll see the roller coaster take shape. " If this was true imaging how long a building would take to go up.

@MaxxTheMonster "However... The ride itself is hardly themed... " That what you said. Your themed envelope stops at the fence around the ride. I'm saying you have missed the point of the whole area if you think the theming of DD stops at the ride safety fence. Some people might even agree with me but based on theming only, this ride would be close too, if not in the top 10 best themed for a spin & spew ride in the world. If you add the ride to the mix I wouldn’t say it sucks, I just think MW could had made better choices. What I would like to see is an extreme mode cycle to go along with the current mode that MW could alternate between.
