Spotty

Spray tan gone wrong?

Well I didn't arrive in the park until 11am and went over to the lockers near Ricks. So if it did break down at around 11am I wasn't aware of it. I did however get on Superman at around about 11:30 - 11:45 though. I cant remember my every move exactly though. So I am sorry if I came across as rude or anything, but considering we were at different places at different times it is more than possible that it did happen.

Mickey_079 is there any reason for calling me a liar that relates to this thread? I was there on Sunday with several people, and as stated the line at several times during the day stated that the lines were "approximately 45 minute waits" or more. Weather or not that was the Actual wait or not is a different story, but that is what the sign stated. When I lined up for it, the line said it was a "Approximately 30 minute wait" but only waited around 20 minutes in total. I did head over to KFC for lunch at around 1pm, so that might have been when Superman broke down according to you. But from around 11am - 1pm and 1:45pm - 4pm I did not see the ride break down at all. So please in the future before calling me a liar, can you make sure you have got the full story? I am not trying to sound rude but I don't appreciate being called a liar in public when I know that I wasn't lying.

Great... even more congestion in that shop... Hopefully it will be up and running again soon. Also I thought Corkscrew looked really neat and tidy painted white.

I rode Scooby Doo on Sunday, and the park was So busy it was NOT funny. Superman was running with 2 trains. Batman was using 4 pods in the afternoon and Scooby Doo was over a 60 minute wait. I tried to see Hollywood StuntDriver (2 shows BTW) and I lined up over 30 minutes before the show and still did not get a seat. They put on a extra show but at that time of the day I was just over it. I was VERY disappointed with Scooby Doo to say the least. The first half of the ride was flawless, but the rest was shocking. There was no smoke, and the music was so quiet you could barley hear it. The lasers were good, but no smoke and the quiet music sort of ruined it for me. I waited 45 minutes for it because I had heard that everything was working and it would be worth it. The fog on the final drop is gone yet again. Overall I was very disappointed with my visit at Movie World, and I think the Q150 has basically ruined the park. If you are going to have crowds, you should be staffed up and prepared for it. The only ride that had a tolerable line was Superman Escape, which was pumping through the crowds like I don't know what. I do however have one noteworthy thing to post. When I was sitting in the batcave on the batman ride, they were transitioning from 2 pods to 4 pods. However the Pre-Show only had 2 groups, and when they came to "evacuate" us one of the girls was full on going for it before noticing NO one was there. She looked so embarrassed and quickly ran away. And then when we were waiting for another group to be loaded in the pod, our attendant got a bit pissed off cause we were not enthusiastic to help batman. So we got punished for 5 minutes with a Shadow Puppet show. I reckon if the crowds had been a bit better, and the rides were running like they should it would have been a much more enjoyable day.

Eureka Mountain Mine Ride was a Steel Wild Mouse type roller-coaster. But apparently it had several Re-Incarnations / Major modifications.

Times have changed. If that is what they say, that is what they will do. Buying the lady at the Max Action center a Krispy Kreme doughnut will not help your cause either.

I'm guessing it's an Aquatrax.

Alex, you were one of the many people asking me. I should have done the typical ride operator speil: "Parkz is currently experiencing a operational delay. We do not have a time frame as to when we will be operational again, you could try coming back later in the day and hopefully we will be operational. Please feel free to experience one of our other attractions..."

I didn't think the Q4U could be used on the Giant Drop? Unless it's changed since I was there last.

I had people coming onto MSN too and asking me what was up. I was just sitting there thinking "I know as much as you do" Glad to have it all Hunky Dory again!

Oh okay, I thought the top one was manned. I mean one would presume if the bottom one is manned, the top one would be. Thanks for clearing that up.

I can tell you right now that Wild West Falls runs off at least 5 staff at most times. The main operator, Loader, Unloader as well as someone located at each turntable. This would be the case I presume for an evacuation, if people in the Mountain areas need to be removed quickly.

Not just for value either... but I know from experience that it is often the freshest food.

Q4U will not be needed at this time of year. The park is rather quiet nowadays anyway. As far as best place for eating, I would recommend Sharkies Snack Attack next to the wipeout.

Maitland Show Lineup: 5 dodgem tracks Haunted hotel Flash dance Speed Break dance Sky veiw Ali baba Top gun Power surge Matterhorn Hard rock Wizzer Chants wheel 2 carousels Halloween Rock n roll Music trip Twister Hurricane Zipper Also the reason Cessnock would have been such a dud show is because Maitland was on the same weekend. Had it not been washed out a few more rides probably would have shown up.

No, and i'm sure if someone hears something they will let us know.

Was not who I was refering to... but he is scary too! Daniel "It's okay kids! Kenny has Clymydia...he needs to go and have some drops put in his eyes!" Harmer

Yeah, I guess your right. I learnt about that person's bulltwang after an incident not too long ago. So I do know better than that I can understand where you are coming from as far as wages go. But not so much for the early 6 with the 20 rider rule, but in general on days when it is very quiet. Sometimes the line is very long for a ride because they simply don't have enough riders!

Also I didn't think Wipeout was hydraulicly driven, but gear driven. And Lotl, the person that gave me this information a while back is someone starting with a "K" So that person's advice is to be taken with a grain of salt... But I hadn't heard any reason as to why it was done like this. I also don't really get the 20 rider rule if parks in other countries with Identical rides can run with 3 people, and scattered throughout the ride. I know it can be expensive to run a ride so they would want many people on the ride. But it just seems a bit stupid, especially at the end of the day when people have been waiting in the line, only to find they cant ride cause they don't have 20 riders for the last ride.

OMG... The dreaded bees! I can see WPHS getting onto that haha. That has got to be dangerous... All it requires is someone alergic to a bee to get stung and we have a lawsuit on our hands...

It's simple, if you want the perks you pay extra for it. No one says you have to buy it. And I know from experience. You can get all 5 thrill rides done in that hour most days.

But probably just on the neck and eardrums when it's not raining But LETHAL WEAPON in the rain... OMFG... I thought I saw my own death doing that! But the worst thing is the water that catches in the top of the trains, and when you go up on the lift it dumps all over you!

WhiteWater World does not have the early entry. And the wipeout very rarely opens for the 9am start because apparently it is a right royal pain to start up in the morning from what I have been told.
