Funny how MW build a new ride in a drain. I wonder what they thought would happen. DOH

A SPIN on the Gold Coast's newest rollercoaster was even more exciting than expected for several thrillseekers on Tuesday. The multimillion-dollar Movie World attraction, which reaches speeds up to 66km/h and pulls 3.5Gs, has experienced a series of "small technical issues" since it opened last Friday. Adrenalin junkies were stopped in their tracks on Tuesday when a carriage of eight people stalled one-third through the 488m-long ride. A rollercoaster enthusiast, who witnessed the glitch, said it happened about 12.30pm and patrons were stuck for more than 30 minutes before being winched to the ground. "They must have come to one hell of a stop, because it does about 25km/h on that stretch," he said. "You could see it, the whole mechanism just popped completely out. One engineer there told me it was just a teething problem, but I think I'll wait a while before I try it." The Bulletin first reported problems with the ride when a reporter experienced a "rare technical glitch" during a promotional ride last week. That time the coaster, which reportedly has the steepest drop in the southern hemisphere, came to an abrupt stop and remained stationary for about five minutes. Movie World marketing and activation manager Selena Lawson admitted to minor glitches during the opening days but said the ride complied with strict safety regulations and posed no threat. "Yes, it's had an issue. It was minor," she said. "The patrons were covered to be protected from the sun within minutes and they were spoken to the whole "It's certainly nothing to be overly concerned about." Ms Lawson said the ride was tested rigorously before becoming operational, performing 500 circuits at night to ensure its stability and consistency. She said all rides experienced problems when they first opened and the Green Lantern's problems were no worse than usual. "I've been working here for 20 years and the changes in safety regulations and how the rides are built are phenomenal," she said. "There's certainly nothing untoward and we certainly wouldn't put anyone in danger." A Workplace Health and Safety Queensland spokesman said construction and commissioning of the ride was closely monitored. "While recognising the inconvenience caused by the ride's teething problems, WHSQ inspectors believe the ride's significant safety features have not been compromised," he said.

I was thinking at one point in time the ride entrance would go in the old batman building. The stairs to the mud is a good idea.

Only took me 1/2 a day to do universal. I also loved the all you can eat breakfast at knotts.

I did Disney, Universal, SFMM and knotts in 5 days. I got off the plane at 7:15.am and headed straight to Disney. I also got to see the U2 concert within the 5 days. I didn’t go to bed before 12 each night and was up at 6.am each to do it all again.

From Dreamworld GM today. "NEW ENTERTAINMENT PRECINCT AT DREAMWORLD IN THE SECOND HALF. " Got the connection

inversion?

I longest wait I have ever seen was when startours reopened this year. I think it was around 3 hours wait. I returned to the ride at 5 to midnight and was told if you line up before 12 they don’t kick you out, till you have been on. I got out of Disneyland at 2.30am. (Oh yes Startours sucked)

If you go over to chit chat you can kiss and make up.

Yea seen it the other day but I couldn’t find it again to ref it. My theory, this is how we talk these days. mv (short for move) is a Unix command
