Ahem... Wiggles World does actually have theming... The Big Red Car, Rosy Tea Cups etc. are actually custom built and custom themed to match what they are meant to. Wiggles World doesn't need too much theming to be attractive to little kids, The Gardens and those swirly things really are quite effective. Along with the S.S Feathersword, so I don't know what you are talking about there.

It's just a saying Ash.

Everybody... get your cameras out! I'll be there on Saturday, So I'll take some photos on my phone (as my camera is packed in a box). I should have the photos by Sunday.

Even if they had the "Crunchy Seat Covers of Hot Steamy Death" Still I would be happy, just don't have them red!

I will agree, I mean the Claw is now overdue for a paint job, the main supports (legs) are really badly faded, and hopefully they will get rid of those red seat covers and bring back the yellow color (even if they are still the covers) Because the all the red really clashes.

If anybody wants a copy of this song, I think I have it on my PC. Richard, if I do have it is it Ok to upload it to the site, it's only 1.5mb.

Thats what happens when you go every few weeks... it's all about being in the right place at the right time.

Something similar happened to me last year on Scooby Doo, just before the the Bunny hops at the end of the Wild Mouse Layout (1st hill I think) the ride came to a halt but didn't completely stop and went through almost crawling along and then stopped at the next block and the ride then stalled and we were walked off. Not sure if this is the same incident or not.

Chaos Maniac, In what ways do you feel Dreamworld is going downhill? I'm interested to hear. I mean, they have just spent 60mill approx on a new Waterpark, they brought Flowrider last year, and introduced Nightmares on Boxing Day, and not to mention the new Roller Coaster, I mean the theming leaves alot to be desired but recent additions have had good theming (i.e Claw, Wiggles World). So is there something else that is upsetting you? Also the nighttime events can't be bad for the park, as it is popular with guests, is successful and produces more income for the park to spend on improvements. But thats just my views, but I am very interested in hearing your opinions.

What rides may I ask?

The Claw has been having issues as early as Ekka 2006, where it kept on stalling and having to be reset.

It hasn't been that bad... i've been to the park 3 times... all coasters have been running 2 trains.

Well mikey... at least that means the wipeout is working again

Saberon, Adam is right here, just because they load, unload and travel in the elevator in pairs, doesn't mean they are blocked in pairs. The only real modifications to the block system which makes it any different are the blocks telling when the elevators can move. Even then its basically the same. The first car to enter the lift would be the block, then when the 2nd one enters, it would tell the system that the elevator at the bottom is ready to move, and then it checks the top elevator to make sure it's clear (which can result in a 2-3 second delay in moving after the spiel) Then when the lift reaches the top, it just reverses the elevator block thus making car number 2 in the first block so it can reverse out then followed by the 1st car. The load and unload station isn't any different to a normal block system, as it follows the same standard rule, but they are both locked at the same time as the station is able to handle 2 trains, then as soon as 1 is dispatched it continues straight through the ride, and about 15 - 20 secs later the 2nd car is dispatched. The unload procedure is basically the same as the load procedure. As Adam has clearly pointed out these systems are designed not to be complex, because if they are too complex there is more room for error. (such as the 2003 Wild Mouse incident at the Royal Melbourne Show) So all in all, the Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster Block System isn't as complex as it seems.

BEAM ME UP SHAMU! Sorry... I couldn't resist

^ Eh... If you pay for my screamworld ticket, I suppose you can stay lol.

Now... things are going to get interesting...

Hmm... maybe a ride similar to MIB Alien Escape at Universal? And GoGoBoy... it was just me being stupid... not meant to be taken seriously!

Well... Thanks for that Tony, but isn't it a pity I don't work for WVTP, otherwise I'd apply for that job!

For the authentic sewer smell... they could get the staff members not to shower for 3 weeks and then get them to raise their arms up right in front of big industrial fans But seriously... I don't think a Idol attraction would suit Movie World, I would prefer something similar to Who Wants To Be a Millionaire or The Rich List but make all the questions Movie or Warner Bros. Related.

Hehe... I remember playing on that train at Southport when I was 3! But in regards to where the train came from, I am really unsure.

*secretly hopes for a Happy Feet exhibit*

About f**kin time! I wonder what this new attraction is.

Just ask Tony how loud I was my first ride...

Did you use wet and Thunder River Rapids Ride in the one sentence? But yeh dont trust wikipedia!
