With a Max Action Pass, you could buy up to 4 tickets at the 25 dollar price.
-
Yeah, the stair line would have been the longest of the day! Because my friend didn't get his act together and tell me that he was coming till the last minute, we waited almost a hour to get in! I still think the funniest thing is right as the people before us brought there tickets, they said they were with me so they could get the 25 dollar Max Action Pass Tickets!
-
Hmm...So I could have rode the Giant Drop while he rode the Claw then! Oh well, the Cyclone only had short waits anyway. It was a rather good Screamworld as far as lines go, I think the longest was to get in
-
Gazza... maybe the twisting track (if it was a TOGO pipeline) Could be integrated into the Looney Tunes River ride as the "New and Improved" Earth Drill
-
Ah yes, the E-brake. It happened twice I think, once earlier in the night, and again around 9:30. And yes, it did rain around 7:30 - 7:45 for 10 or so minutes, I was in the Cyclone queue at the time. Does anyone know how busy the GD line was that night? Me and my friend just kept riding the Motocoaster as single riders in the Sidecar without even lining up
-
I was at Screamworld on Friday, and Tower of Terror broke down 3 times that night... the lines for each of the thrill rides were about 20 mins, I didn't manage to check out the drop as my mate was too scared to ride We just kept going on the Motocoaster (sidecar line) cause no one was riding. We did it about 10 times without any waits! Both me and my mate decided the Sidecar is alot more fun than the actual bikes.
-
I certainly know about those Toboggan's at Merimbula! And they really can pick up some mean speed on those last few curves when you don't have the brakes on... but just watch out for the op at the bottom And GREAT TR by the way
-
I was being sarcastic Gazza... But yeah, the pirate ship is one of the very few rides that actually made me feel REAL sick after riding it a few weeks ago... I was with some mates and after that ride I was out of action for a hour, trying to keep my lunch down. But nothing beats screaming girls on that ride...
-
Or maybe they are censoring it like the Internet There are indeed woman's breasts on the side of the ship furthest from the Corkscrew...
-
Also... much to everyones surprise... Weekends are often the QUIETEST days for the parks too...
-
Now... that is just UNACCEPTABLE that Queue time! But maybe Dreamworld have decided to get a head start on maintenance considering this "Peak Season" has been rather depressing for the parks. I mean... from where I worked I could clearly see the "Ride Wait Times" board in front of Superman Escape, and the longest waits seemed to get for ANY of the rides was about 30 - 45 Mins (mainly Batwing, Scooby and Superman) But may I just ask, what ride was this 3 hour wait for? or was it for several rides. I know it wouldn't have been the Wipeout or the Claw but if it was that is just shocking...

Dreamworld Mine Ride gone off the maintance page

Ash, I think you may be referring to the "Stingray" being taken off the maintenance page... as the Mine ride was there a few days ago. -

The Zipper at the Easter show would have been the "Bad Ass" Zipper owned by Peter Short. And Dylan this is the first year that the Zipper has done the Coolangatta Carnival as it normally does the Rye Beachside Carnival in Victoria. I am not sure why it didn't go to Rye this year...
-
Have you seen the food at Star's Cafe?! I haven't ate there since it was the "Studio Patisserie" and for 14 dollars you can get a HUGE Cobb Loaf that is piled on with salads and potato wedges. I mean these meals are so huge that when carrying them out I sometimes have difficulty finding room for the cutlery. I went into the park today as a guest and ordered a Butter Chicken Cobb and I had difficulty finishing it. The meal tasted great and I felt like I had really got value for my money. The food is a few dollars more than somewhere like Wild West Burgers or Gotham City but I'd rather pay the extra few dollars and get a great meal.
-
Just lets hope you NEVER see me doing my "Monkey" Trick on Johnny's Zipper In the middle of the cycle when it's going slow I can flip myself UPSIDE DOWN with my head on the floor and feet in the air for the remaining half of the ride and OMG... it's intense that way. And Tony... what a way to torture someone I still owe you a "Virgin" Zipper ride, as my first atempt didn't go as planned
-
Most likely Davis's one... allthough it may have been Johnny's but I doubt it. Heck it could have even been Shorts as Ekka was just a few weeks before the GCS.
-
Tony, I have only rode Peter Shorts and Johnny Castles Zipper. Peter Short's Zipper is actually a Chance Model with heavier cars (Less Flipping... amazingly) Whereas Johnny's is a Ferrari Model (Along with Davis's) I Find that Johnny's Zipper runs a better program than Shorts and is Abit more intense. From what I have been told the Davis Model has had quite a re-work from GCS 2006 (when you presumably would have rode it) Mainly attention to Artwork etc. Several reports show that this unit is ran VERY well now that Dean Davis knows how to run it better. On another note, the Mean Mother Zipper is currently going through a major overhaul and it should be interesting to see what it rides like when it's back in Brisbane.
-
Dylan, that Zipper you are talking about would belong to Peter Short. That is the one that does most of the Capital Shows. You have Johnny Castle's "Mean Mother" Zipper (Ex Watkins, Ex Luna Park) That does QLD / NSW. Along with that you have Zacchini's Zipper that does VIC / Tas Shows. As well as Davis's Zipper which does QLD, NSW and VIC. This is the Ex Wittingslow Unit. JOHNY CASTLE'S ZIPPER DAVIS'S (EX WITTINGSLOW ZIPPER) PETER SHORTS ZIPPER

What would you do if 'you' owned or managed DW?
Spotty replied to skystar_a320's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Ash, if Disney brought Dreamworld they would probably just look at it and freak. Then they'll bring in the Bulldozers and start fresh -
Quiet you I have the flu... my brain is like mush right now.
-
Yeh... the BeetleJuice character in the Gremlin's Ride was a robot...
-
Do you mean the Beetlejuice character that used to be in the Gremlins ride, or the roving one? I remember they used to have Seymour from Little Shop of Horrors walking around Movie World, with a mechanical version of Audrey II.

It was only a 5 min wait with 2 trains being loaded. And OMG the rain hurts alot!
