  1. ^Spotty I think he means the old coaster train - he thought the old coaster train was stored there...
  2. Racing coasters work really well... when they're run as racing coasters. I certainly hope they maintain the operations to consistently run two trains. I'm impressed, and certainly a coaster of that size had to replace colossus purely based on footprint needed. I'm still disappointed they got rid of such a classic coaster to do this, but i'm excited to ride it.
  3. GGB - one question - you speak as if you haven't ridden it yet... is that right? Don't let the naysayers sway your opinion (although if you go on with that opinion you might be pleasantly surprised). I won't say it's an amazing ride, but it's been done very well in my opinion. It would be great if the game play was more connected, but I think if you took the guns away, and just had the animatronics beefed up a little to 'tell a story' (think Radiator Springs Racers) it'd still be a hit. I don't feel JL deserves all the manure it's receiving.
  4. You're lucky... 26 would kill you.
  5. ^As you seem to have seen it, wouldn't you already know if it were cooler?
  6. The photos posted have a bit of an optical illusion that the wings go all the way round. they don't. So you get into the seats the same way you get into Arkham, Escape from Madagascar, or a chairlift. The wings do not go in front of the seat.
  7. only if you're using the simple functions.
  8. I'd suggest a rubberised matting (the kind made out of old recycled car tyres) that they use underneath playgrounds would be good, but expensive.
  9. It doesn't look like the world's greatest waterpark either - looks like something at a local swimming pool. If my local pool had something like that i'd be happy, and be TRYING to get flipped out of my tube. The big parks are 'too' risk averse in that sense these days.
  10. it is also a TV series, yes - but I don't think it's hard to get the character development out of the film standing on it's own (well - the first one anyway) their personalities are pretty clearly defined. As for the warn status things - it is only visible to you, and moderators as far as I know, so I can see mine, but I can't see yours... Thats why it appears like you're the only one with it.
  11. let me just use my powers of telepathy to ask them.... They're saying that it varies by Country. In Australia - our 2015 financial year has already started, so it's only days away from release! Many other countries don't start until January though - so they'll have to wait longer. They also said if you enter the cheat code "subscribe" on your phone and send it to 199 55 00 32, Big Brother will let you inside the game for a day to ride all your own creations! /sarcasm We don't have any internal contacts at Atari. When they say 'early 2015' it's like Sea World saying 'Wild' opens 201345 never. They won't set a date until they're assured it's ready for release. As for PC MAC... here's a story. I worked for an organisation that developed a program. It was a popular program for many people, and users entered the multi-millions. Many Apple fanboys screamed for a MAC version, and for years, they said 'we are looking at doing one'. A year or so ago, they finally brought out a MAC version after spending thousands (a helluva lot) developing and testing.. In it's first 12 months, barely 200,000 MAC users used the MAC version of the program. Get a windows emulator. I'd rather they spent the extra on making the PC version rock-solid than diverting development funding on trying to make a square peg fit into a round hole.
  12. Considering another park has just closed an iconic coaster that just so happened to be right beside the OCEAN due to RUST... I think it fits perfectly... Bermuda also had quite a nice rust patina across the stationhouse and outdoor theming... I think it works....
  13. You don't need to spend a couple thousand... in park sign-writers, (Joz will love this)... an 'A-frame' and a few witches hats hazard barriers with signs saying "Justice League - Evacuation Centre this way" Put it up next to the green lantern sign. It will get attention.
  14. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard for the park to mount a webcam somewhere out of reach focused on particular points of interest and time lapse them together for a cool interesting look at the park from a time lapse perspective... but that would require effort.
  15. I've never heard the detail about the thunderbolt incident... when did it happen? I recall Wonderland upgrading air-gates to 'full-height' jail-bars at one point... and i'm wondering if that incident had anything to do with it (because all wonderland's coasters were 'queue for the row you want' type stationhouses - similar to how lethal was before they introduced a grouper.
  16. That's it - time for WWW to get rid of everything except Wedgie, and the Triple Vortex. WnW - you're gonna need to lose white water mountain, super 8, both mammoths and well... most of the park really. It's all just too old...
  17. If disabled guests were to ride, they wouldn't use the old load elevators - for starters - there are a bunch of stairs before you get to that point in the queue... so if a wheelchair or the like was needed, i'm sure they'd just take the guest through the exit door.
  18. Sorry to repeat other's sentiments - but if LPS gets a Zacspin, i'll burn the park to the ground.
  19. The zipline's Launchpad isn't impeded by constrictor. I imagine it's "under maintenance" when it isn't staffed, and would only be an option in peak periods, given it's low capacity and high-staffing costs
  20. i usually leave it late. Sometimes when they put extra nights on due to demand, the 'late announced' nights aren't quite so busy. Also, like when 31 Oct falls on a sun-thursday they usually put a night on then, and being a weeknight its also a bit quieter (this time round is a friday, so that night is going to be hell!) The first night or two is usually a bit quieter, but the experience is also a little 'lessened' as the actors aren't yet in the swing of things. Not meaning to slur the staff who work on the event they all try their best and do a great job - but the first night or two they're still trying to get kinks worked out etc so it doesn't all run as smoothly.
  21. REALLY? I've taken on all three. X2 is definitely an experience in itself and I couldn't really compare it adequately - but in my opinion, the experiences were similar to Tatsu (although in a different riding position) and so smooth... Compared to Green Lantern? I don't think there is a comparison. GL's gondolas swing freely, whereas X2's are controlled to put the rider into a specific (read: comfortable) position throughout the ride. Riding GL to me, felt like a really out of control Zipper... a bad one.
  22. To be honest, I never saw the 'indoors' portion of Dino Island... I don't think it was necessary - the outdoor displays (done right) are sufficient as an attraction.
  23. Once they build this boat... how are they gonna get it out? Wait... the roof is cantilevered like Scooby Doo to vent smoke in case of fire?
