I also know some of those faces, there is a list of people who attended posted in this topic so I am sure someone would be willing to take a guess as to who is which username.

Now we wait and find out who the other two in the group are. Guess no one will really know until Saturday morning.

+0 working that night and have absolutely no chance of getting it off. Will be doing another night instead.

Looking at the second or third weekend for Terror Tour.

Based on that rendering it will ruin the look of the skyline of the park especially looking down the street towards it. That would be one of the reasons for people to be so against it.

World has been fined $25,000 after a carriage holding two teenagers broke free on the Octopus ride while it was running. The theme park's operators Timevale Pty Ltd pleaded guilty in Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Thursday to failing to comply with health and safety duty. Their strong safety record and the significant efforts made in the 15 months since the incident to improve the park was looked on favourably in sentencing. Improvement efforts have included spending about $650,000 on new expert staff, ride upgrades and training procedures. An 18-year-old woman suffered a cut to her forehead and an 18 year-old man was uninjured when their car-shaped carriage broke free about 3.20pm on April 7 last year. It separated from the ride's arm about a minute into the ride and dropped to the ground, skidding about six metres before coming to a rest among other moving cars. Both occupants were still secured inside. Magistrate Annette Hennessy noted it was fortunate the carriage was quite close to the ground when it separated. The court heard the ride had been purchased from Luna Park in New South Wales in 2002. An agreed statement of facts tendered to the court said an Aussie World ride technician had carried out a maintenance check on the Octopus on the day of the crash and that nothing of note was reported. Defence barrister Andrew O'Brien said the cause of the incident was not something addressed in the manufacturer's maintenance manual. Mr O'Brien said the manual did not alert Timevale to the need to tighten concealed bolts on the ride's arm. He said external engineers had also not alerted the company to the need to tighten the bolts. A report from December last year by a senior Workplace Health and Safety mechanical advisor said it was likely that tapped threads could have been damaged as a result of insufficient tightening of the screws, which catastrophically failed after a hexagon screw broke. The ride has since been removed and replaced with another. Timevale's full cooperation with the Workplace Health and Safety investigation and early plea of guilty went in their favour. The court also heard Timevale or its parent company, Presida Group, had not previously faced a prosecution of any kind, with Timevale having run Aussie World since 1995. Timevale also already had considerable maintenance measures in place, including a dedicated eight-person team as well as daily, weekly, monthly and annual ride inspections. Ms Hennessy noted the significant changes in ride maintenance but noted that was not to say the previous procedures were insufficient. Timevale was fined $25,000 and ordered to pay a further $1079.40 in legal and administration costs. Aussie World Chief Operating Officer Aaron Flanagan issued a statement after the sentence. "Aussie World has proudly maintained an impeccable safety record over its 26 year history," it read. "Whilst it is regrettable that this incident occurred some 15 months ago, it was acknowledged today that Aussie World had a comprehensive maintenance regime in place, undertook extensive engineering testing annually, conducted independent engineering inspections and maintained quality operator training systems.　 "It was also accepted that the fault that lead to the mechanical failure was not addressed in the manufacturers ride manual.　 "Over the last year we have invested significantly in people, systems and ride refurbishment programs which today was positively recognised by the authorities.　 "We are focused on developing a best in class theme park for the Sunshine Coast.　 "Two brand new rides have been purchased recently and we are currently in discussions to buy additional new rides to enhance the family entertainment experience." 　 No conviction was recorded. Improvements since the crash have included: - Restructure to the technical services department to create a specific, dedicated rides engineering department - Recruitment of an internationally experienced rides engineer manager - Recruitment of a new rides engineer supervisor - Refurbishment of four major rides - Recruitment of a new independent engineer to undertake annual ride inspections - Additional workplace health and safety training for managers and ride engineering staff - New workplace health and safety management system with annual audits. http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/news/aussie-world-cops-25k-fine-after-ride-car-breaks-l/3065602/ Don't recall hearing much about this happening but it may have happened around the time of the Green Lantern incident.

Undecided on going at the moment, no shirt but I can hide my shirtless self behind those who do have a Parkz shirt.

I rode Kong at Discovery Kingdom in May, prefer it to Arkham even with Kong having the old style SLC restraints due to no pressure on legs from the restraint. As for roughness, it was actually not that bad. As for the up-charge I don't see a problem with it. The headsets aren't exactly cheap and the money is being spent on a custom VR experience for this ride I can't blame the park for wanting to try and get back some of the money from the cost of it. The amount of stuff coming can't all be paid for with passes that are stupidly cheap.

The Magic Mountain VR has you in a fighter jet so no coaster track or path visible. Think we will see something unique and not done before in true Movie World style.

You collect the headset from the staff member when you enter the load platform. You do not put on the headset until seated on the ride. Once seated it is the usual restraints and checks associated with that. A staff member comes along and tightens all straps on the headset and helps with any issues. There is a QR code on the back of the headrest in front that tells the Gear VR kit you've boarded and to load the "game". Ride as per normal whilst playing the game. Sit in the brake run for around 3-5 minutes. When leaving you hand the headset back where they clean it for the next person or put it on charge.

Ute in the background looks straight. Will say nothing looks to be chopped off unlike some photos I've seen recently.

Good to see someone has also changed the manufacturer back to what it should be and "Unknown"

A name for a ride that hasn't even been announced yet and a location. Clearly has no idea. As for manufacturer and type, I severely doubt Movie World would look at the Intamin wing coaster considering they aren't exactly a popular choice and I wouldn't call it world class. A B&M Wing Rider would be way more likely if they were to go down that path.

Game has gone to shit with all the extra countries being added. Constantly unable to login. When logged in it will crash when trying to catch Pokemon. Going to look at avoiding it until they get it sorted out. Reminds me a lot of the launch of SimCity, requires internet access to play, can't do anything as the servers are constantly overloaded.

Can't see VR being added to Justice League, it would be the last ride in the park I would even consider putting VR on. Might as well put it on the Driving School.

Van update, van is currently gone. No signs of a fountain either

Went to Movie World and Dreamworld on Sunday to try and catch more. Pokestops there helped me with getting a heap of items as where I am they are few and far between.

Those complaining about distance from the car park to the gate have never been to a US park. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and even Magic Mountain to a point have car parks that aren't exactly close to the entrance. They run a shuttle bus from the entrance to the car park at both parks.

Guess we'll find out soon enough @xRazzBerryx

If we want track from anywhere Idaho is where we really want track to coming from that isn't originating in Germany.

Still better than running 1080p resolution.

Computer monitor, Benq BL2710PT

The Xbox One S has me interested for 4K Blu-ray playback. Just have to see if my monitor is capable of supporting it.
