I normally don't care if a park is heavy towards roller coasters @AlexB except if after just getting to ride 1 or 2 coasters my wife and kids have already finished all the rides they can ride. MW kid’s area is in need of a major upgrade. If MW is spending as much as we are lead to believe then MW shouldn’t put it all into 1 age group.

@AlexB I think the photo that you where looking at was the photo of the gear case cover. That cover was installed a while ago but was removed again before testing. We are probably talking about different photos.

Good photo @Theme Park Girl. I can't wait to they add the theming to the outside of the arms.

@Theme Park Girl I think you might be posting to the wrong topic.

In TopGolf press release it was mentioned it had to be built very simular the USA ones. The photos attached are of some of the TopGolf in the USA.

Prefab cladding by the look of it. That blue gets peeled off after it is installed. Zoom your camera in just like you did on the bolt and see if it is the product I'm thinking of.

I thought they said it was going to cost around $20.00 an hour for a family to use the range. By the video it looks like you have to use their clubs.

I'm putting my money on the new announcement being for the new cabin accommodation. If you look at the old faithful site you can see the make decision date is the 13/07/2016. This might also include an announcement for the hotel. I also have a fuzzy feeling the new golf addition will be the centre of a bigger precinct.

Not talking about 10 years ahead. I’m not talking about a parks dreams or wishes. A new coaster would be ordered a long time ahead of any construction happening on site.

I think they have had a few issues with the install. Arms went up. Arms went down. Gear guard went on. Gear guard went off.

This is not going to end well.

What do people think about Australian parks not releasing new attractions information like the USA parks do? For me it could cost a park receiving no money from me. Nearly every year I travel to the USA to visit family so I normally only buy one season pass for an Aussie park each year. When I buy a pass I can only go on what I already know. For example I know next year that MW is getting a new coaster and I don’t know what DW is getting, if anything. What makes Australian parks so different that they don’t market a new ride before they get it?

I think DW need to buy Belinda some new wheels.

I hope we didn't scare you off @The Original Belinda Brown When DW's CEO was asked about The Wanda Group interest in building a new theme park on the Gold Coast he replied with. We have our own plans and will be a very different looking place in four years as well.” Was he just talking it up or will DW look like a different place in 4 years?

@The Original Belinda BrownYou have lead straight to my next question. When DW first opened up is was very much inspired by Disney. MW & SW pretty much says what they are in there name. What is DW direction or idea of what is it? Now the Koalas’ have their own dating site are you thinking of cashing in Kenny?

LOL @Theme Park GirlDon't waist your time. @The Original Belinda BrownThanks for answering my last questions. Do you think DW will ever build another large attraction? I do have concerns and some other members do too. I believe that DW will never put in a new ride to the scale of the TOT again. We know DW have spent a lot of money on fillers since the change of ownership but we are yet to see a new attraction that makes me go. “I must do that” The Buzz is good but it’s no superman. When the major attractions like TOT are too old to upkeep are we just going to be left with a permanent fair?

@The Original Belinda BrownBe careful of AlexB. He might have gum leaves in one hand but his other hand contains Chlamydiosis. Does DW have any plans for the river? It seems to me an area that is underutilised.

@The Original Belinda Brown Hello and welcome. I think you would look good in a Parkz shirt. The one question I have for you, if I may is. Many years ago WWW was looking at building a stage 3 which included a lazy river and so on. This was just before the world did a 180. Is there any plans for WWW to continue with those plans in the future or will WWW now focus on smaller additions to the park?

"I think it has nothing to do with the parks being more accepting. Space Mountain is a good example with its separate loading station for disabled people. Disney can fill a whole train with disabled people where if DW had the same system how long would it take to fill a car" What do you think I said?

Can you point out the part that says why it occurred.

I thought the fire happened at 6:30 at night after the ride had closed.

I think it has nothing to do with the parks being more accepting. Space Mountain is a good example with its separate loading station for disabled people. Disney can fill a whole train with disabled people where if DW had the same system how long would it take to fill a car. I witnessed on the Big Thunder Mountain Ride that the disabled person getting on in front of me had to load themselves onto the train to be able to ride. The government’s regulations for disabilities is not what you are thinking, it is built on top of the Discrimination Act. If it is safe then the Act calls for no Discrimination. I don’t know anybody who wouldn’t wait an extra 3 min for a disabled person to load onto a ride. I think it has more to do with how our parks interprets the manufactures recommendations and our parks being a bit more tentative.

Yes her last name was Clark.

I’m no painter but I would think it would be hard to match the paint without repainting the whole arm. When some Nobby chick ran up my bum, the panel beaters also painted the closest panels to the area that was damaged. I was told it helps blend the new panels in. Or maybe DW want to know the rust will not come back through the paint before DW do the final fix.
