Good to see the park spending the government funding on exactly what it was allocated for.

The Big Red Boat Coaster is genuinely more exciting to ride. MC’s layout is pretty much everything a coaster shouldn’t be, 605 metres of track where nothing happens.

Rebranding it as a kids ride might help, but is it really worth spending $20 million on a secondhand kids ride? The real question is whether DW is creating a genuinely compelling attraction or spending a fortune dressing up a layout that wasn't very good to begin with. DW have gone full 360 on us with this one. What they’re doing here is the complete opposite of what they did with King Claw.

Calling this ride not very good is an understatement. It’s awful. You get a launch, a brief moment of excitement, and then it dies. I’ve got no doubt DW will theme the absolute shit out of it and do a fantastic job. But you can put all the theming, theming effects and fancy scenery in the world around it, and it won’t change the fact that the ride layout sucks. $20m to put lipstick on a pig. It might end up being a very pretty pig, but it’s still a pig. 🐷

Who doesn't love a waterpark making moves?

I'm sure some people will like it, but for me, spending $20m on a mediocre ride when a ride 100 times better already exists in the same area is a waste of money.

I can’t believe how insensitive people can be posting it online.

I wish DW did this to it. MC2 is unlikely to be much better than MC1, as the track layout will still be terrible.

How have heads not rolled at Village? I believe, these shit trading hours are completely self inflicted.

What is the point of this article?

Or they want their money back before an expensive criminal case eats it all up.

From that angle I don't think MC2 is going to look that different.

It’ll feel like Christmas for everyone if WWW finally gets some love and the new future land turns out to be for WWW.

The two riders involved in the recent incidents that led to the ride’s closure reportedly had no known pre-existing conditions. Both suffered serious brain injuries involving brain bleeds. One has survived but remains on medication, while the other is still in a coma.

I agree. The GC is the best place in the world to have a theme park operating into the night. Hopefully they keep WWW open too. It's rude not to have all that GC theme parks open late in summer.
