Welcome steve.o! Just a friendly heads up to read the guidelines as it will help prevent spelling and grammar Nazis from correcting you in the future. Back on topic and holy bump Batman! Haven't visited the Sea World page in ages but is complaining about Killer Whales still a thing or has it gone the way of palm oil on the supermarkets page and now moved on to complaining about whatever is now popular to complain about (think it is bigots and Halal)

Personally I would put more into the ride experience as I would wait a hour for something decent over waiting five minutes for something that is average at best. If a ride is high capacity but is something mediocre it would be wasted money.

2015 in Dreamworld - ABC Kids World, V8 Supercars and more

The churros outlet doesn't look bad compared to the "borrowed from RollerCoaster Tycoon stands" look they had going before. An easy improvement over the existing for me. -

Think the reason why they haven't installed the set of brakes there is due to evacuation access, would require also installing the walkway and having stairs constructed for access. -
I will admit I am a fan of the high thrill coaster with flat rides worked in around it idea. As others have pointed out the park is missing the high thrill coaster that helped make the park famous. It's really the only thing that makes sense to replace the former attraction. Whilst the dark ride idea isn't a bad one the cost of building the structure that will house it would cost a fair bit by itself. The idea of a boardwalk section sounds interesting, especially the wooden coaster idea and if done properly they could move the midway games into the area.

Would seem you can still buy coke at Dreamworld. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/queensland-police-make-record-17-million-cocaine-bust-20150825-gj77sw.html

Latest image on Google Earth is from June 1 and looks more current than that one. That image looks to be missing CotD which are on Google Earth. Don't use Google Maps for current imagery though, found that to be out of date for a lot of things.

Luna Park Sydney- Future rides and attractions
pin142 replied to Jobe's topic in Theme Park Discussion
What's so bad about the Wild Mouse to require such butchering of a classic ride? There are very few of them left so why the need to it. Surely they could be better off spending the money on a new attraction. -
Whilst a large scale park would be nice a Discovery Centre would be a great way for them to gauge interest before committing to a larger more expensive investment.

Is it possible to get bored in a theme park?
pin142 replied to pushbutton's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Since Create Your Taste my interraction with staff at McDonalds has been limited to table service when the food is ready. As for being bored at a theme park, I think it would be possible but the only reason why someone would be is because of their own doing. Anyone who stands around looking bored or disinterested probably shouldn't be in that job. -
CYCLONE Roller Coaster at Dreamworld
pin142 replied to Trevor A Knott's topic in Theme Park Discussion
A train running backwards or forwards? Why not both. It isn't like Vekoma haven't done it for their inverted boomerangs. Gives people a choice of experience too. -
Well I won't bother with my iP4 then after reading that. Hopefully they bring it to Android devices.

Given what has been spent recently at Adventure World there isn't any reason why they wouldn't be able to put in a RMC. It would be close to what they are spending on new additions currently.

Is that article available anywhere that isn't behind a pay wall. I refuse to give Limited News any of my money.
-
And that is why I come here for news on what's happening and not random pages. You would think with their Village bias they would be more in the know of what's happening.

Is this a trip advisor award or something as without any sort of organisation behind the award it seems an almost meaningless thing to have won.

SeaWorld overflow car park lost.

Song contains "Heavy Metal" in the title however nothing remotely close to heavy metal is found in it. -
If they did have differing experiences on each side then I would see them alternating which side is in operation during the day when run in off peak.

Am I the only one experiencing a case of deja vu?

Adventure World 2015 - 'Mi2' Kraken Tornado slide

Looking at the render I am going to say closed flume. -
They were which is why I had someone come along with me.

Eureka Mountain Mine Ride reopening discussion
pin142 replied to rappa's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Re-theme of Eureka sounds highly unlikely given how they refurbished a fair chunk of the area when Buzzsaw went in. A V8 themed mine car coaster? Yeah, that makes tonnes of sense! -
The original laser before the final drop was also great. You couldn't see the drop for the tunnel effect.
