You can almost marathon Twisted Colossus at SFMM now so I doubt you will have to wait long to be able to do it with Rivals.

Maybe they have got the team who have been doing the marketing for the hypercoaster over there now? -

You will find that is the ramp to the station platform and not the roof for the station in that photo. -

Sounds like a great location to get photos of the ride in action through that section. -
Like many games in my steam library, grabbed it while it was cheap, have it installed, never played it.

Went today, Scooby was around 30 minutes, Green Lantern at the most 5 minutes, Superman 5 minutes at the worst, Arkham 15 minutes. Didn't do JL, Doomsday was around 10 minutes. Scooby at around 5pm was also down to around 5 minutes. Couldn't have chosen a better day to go.

Digital ride photos sounds like their Fast Photo product. Scan barcode below the photo you want and you can access it online through a website. You don't need to go on the ride yourself just make sure you scan your pass below the photo you want.

Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017
pin142 replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Thought that was what TPSN was for, surely they would be keeping people up to date with ride closures if their posting of park opening hours is anything to go by. -

Whilst the video is good anyone else kinda hate that it was vertical video? Aside from that and the mic situation good to see the park making an effort and doing these kinds of videos. -

Gravity group look to do a steel support with wooden track so can't see why that wouldn't be an option to lower costs associated with maintenance. -
'Great Whites' coming to Dreamworld

Why build a shark enclosure when you have the Wipeout? It originally had a shark in the pool so can't see why they can't bring it back with a bit more realism. -
Didn't like Zero, Life was tolerable. No Sugar? No to buying again.

Maybe they should do a queue line video explaining the process. I understand they are all the rage at the moment. -

Now all we need is a monorail to connect it and it would truly be a Downtown Disney style setup!

Fuze has 3.0g/100ml of sugar compared with 8.3g/100ml for Coke. Source of that is the McDonald's website as all post mix would be the same.

You could do that but then there isn't any reason to complain about the choices available at the parks.

Sounds a lot like the Q-bot system as far as ride status, queuing and waits are concerned. So yes one of our parks would already be using a system like it. Wet'n'Wild Sydney even has something similar that uses their myband for queuing, lockers, on-slide photos and cash. Sure the myband doesn't tell you wait times or when a slide is open/closed but the kiosks around the park can do that (or you can look with your own eyes for a rough idea).

Backwards row - DC Rivals HyperCoaster
pin142 replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
This is Australia not America, if some Americans do come over here and have issues fitting then they should look at blaming themselves and not the manufacturer for not accommodating their body "shape". Maybe the fourth queue line is a walk of shame line. -
Consider the difference in volume sold. It is not uncommon for a Woolworths store to sell a pallet of water in a day (3-4 in summer). The parks on the coast wouldn't be selling this much plus they are also selling a branded water (eg Mt Franklin for Village) which is purchased at a price set by Coca-Cola Amatil. Any complaints about the cost of a 600ml bottle of Coca-cola or Mt Franklin/Pump water is in part the fault of CCA and their "premium" pricing.

Nah, they will paint the concrete green instead of leaving it grey. -
Been to SFMM and only rode 2 B&Ms? Tatsu, great; Batman and Riddlers, good; Scream, average (and oddly rough). Would you like to see something like Fury 325 here @Gazza in response to the DC Hypercoaster or would you think the park would be better off instead of beating them for height they go with the general consensus here of more inversions? We have a Hypercoaster under construction so a proper Giga Coaster is the next logical move for something non-inverting and Tower of Terror is proof height shouldn't really be an issue for the park.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom or California's Great America?

Just hire an all day locker, they are around $10 from memory and park wide. It is what I did when I was there. Best thing is you aren't tied to one bank of lockers. Use the ones at Joker when riding it or Superman then when you go to ride Medusa or Kong just move your stuff to the ones near Kong. They even give a receipt with locker number so you don't have to remember which one you put your stuff in.
