  1. Well... for me 1 Ferris Wheel is enough to make me feel Queasy considering I don't do the whole "Ferris Wheel" Thing...
  2. Um... Oh Dear... lets just hope Movie World doesn't get those, or if they sadly did have to, put a batman logo on it to spruce it up just a little bit... but PLEASE NO SCREAM GUARDS!!!
  3. Yeah, I feel that if it was to be done right, Water rides like Wild West Falls could run at night. Rather interesting story about the idiot and the reservoirs. I am trying to convince the Parental Units to let me attend the Wednesday Session and If I go, I'll try to take a few Happy Snaps!
  4. Hey... at least it's better than my 2nd PC! 10Gb Storage and 64mb RAM It can't even run RCT1 LOL!
  5. It would be basically the same system as Supeman: Escape's breaking system where there would be a Copper or some metal plate on the rear of the Gondola, that reacts with the magnetic strips on the Tower causing the gondola to Decelerate.
  6. I also noticed when I went to Dreamworld with T-Bone, that the ride program was modified slightly to flip more and a little bit longer, I think this is because of a certain someone getting there hands on the booth... but I think the program will stay at this slightly more intense level for a while now And just ask T-Bone, I was nervous when I found out it had been beefed up... but I still liked T-Bones reaction on the WipeOut That incident with the Computer stuffing up, there is no release to flip the Gondola upright, it is done by weight (I think)
  7. ^ That only happens on a "Good" day
  8. Untill they push it down so tight it hurts "down there"
  9. ^ How quick was the lines a few weeks ago hey Paul! Much better than 90 Minutes
  10. All I know is the person who normally sends the e-mails ect. Regarding the Orphan Rocker is Mr. Phillip Hammon (the owner of Scenic World, I think)
  11. In regards to the 75 Min wait, there MUST be something up with the operations department, or the train is broken, cause that is just appauling!
  12. If it's a Ferris Wheel, while it's a new ride, if it's bigger than Durkin's "Skymaster Wheel" The same model as LPS, there is NO WAY you will get me on it!!!
  13. LOL... what was even funnier, is it was my mums first time on it... We then just sat there, waited and waited about 5 mins, and then you hear this "BANG... Hisss" and we slowly started rolling again.
  14. Reminds me when I got the crud scared out of me! Going onto the main lift at the end, as the boat went up, me and my cousin hear this huge BANG, the ride jolts, and we stop, We were then walked off the ride. It was doing it all day.
  15. LOL... reminds me of one time, when we stopped just before the last big drop in the lazer room... we slowly started again, and felt like we were going to stop.
  16. Just... Ummm... Don't be giving me ideas... lol
  17. LOL... I suppose I should tell you this story... I was lining up for TOT a few months ago, and I snavelled a Front seat ride and I was sitting next to 2 American people, And I got to know them a bit, thn I found out there was about 20 of them, and they asked me to show them around the park. At around lunchtime, they asked where to go for lunch, so we ended up going to billabong buffet, For 20 of us with the discount, it cost them 300 dollars, so I saved them $80 for lunch, so for that they shouted me lunch, and a drink, I also brought all there things for them with the discount, I then later found out that they were over here for some olympic thing. Lets just say... the peanut butter sandwiches didn't get eaten that day...
  18. Yes, this has gone far enough, sure I do feel sorry for Dreamworld_Rulz here, as he has copped a bit of flack about this (partly me) But I WILL say this, if Movie World Was not running 2 trains they are either A: Very Stupid, or B: Something is wrong with train 2, I am leaning towards B. Another funny note is they seem to be using SDSC's signs lol
  19. ^ They might not have been ABLE To say why, and I think i'm going to take Rabid Disney's Side on this, as he works there, i'd presume he's right, in saying that there was indeed 2 trains running those days. Try waiting 90 Mins for Cyclone before complaining about Movie World.
  20. Seriously, Lethal VERY Rarely runs 2 trains, except at Christmas! And... did you ever think that the 2nd train could be broken? I have also noticed, that Superman does breakdown more often when it's running 2 trains, and the park also mught not have expected it, So stop your whinging and be grateful that you even get to go, as I know alot of people that wish they could go but they cant! And do you expect to get your full moneys worth if you dont rock up to a park till 3pm? Also, stop bagging out the parks, they try there hardest, but it seems to most people, that it's NEVER enough, Seriously, theres gonna be a few problems, thats all fine and wonderful to send a NICE e-mail with feedback, instead of bagging them out in front of everyone! I mean, you want all these new rides, and they might need to cut down on a few small things i.e trains running to afford it, I mean you complain about 45 Minute waits, where Tower Of Terror, Giant Drop, Cyclone at Dreamworld is upwards of a hour! Not trying to be oscar the grouch but I seriously dont like coming here, and finding people full on bagging the place out, sure if you have a MAJOR problem with the park, bring it up with them, but not some stupid immature petty thing like "this line is too big" and this yelling at the person with the height stick is just plain stupid, I mean he is only doing his job, so instead of holding him and everyone else up (making the line larger) just put up with it like everyone else!
  21. Just a further bit of Information on the ThrillSeeker / Taipan, Max Laurie and Peter Short now own it, and it travels the East Coast.
  22. Oh... does the Tower Of Terror ever have sensors!!! It checks the location of that Pod every milliseccond or so (unsure of the number exactly), and if the Pod is not in the right place at the right time you get the "Drive Trip"where it slows down at the launch, and has to be pulled back in. If the Pod's location is lost on the return trip or the power goes out, you get what is called a Emergency Brake (or E-brake) where it zooms through the station and goes into the "Bog Area" or Emergency Braking Zone. Once this happens, the Pod has to be winched out. In Regards to the question about Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster, The way that the system works is that there are sensors at various locations around the track, These sensors are often confused with the Green Box on the track (to dectect the car's location) But I think there is a black bar between the 2 sensors, that dectect the harness status. Now... before anyone chucks a spasm... I am not 100% on this, but I am fairly sure... someone feel free to correct me!
  23. Ahhh... dont worry about that happening... or the brakes failing, thats what the "bog" area is for lol, but seriously, it is safe and it is absolutly AMAZING
