  1. Unless it has to do with queue rails. They seem to love those signs. I am currently a short distance from the park but due to time can't see myself getting there.
  2. Staples? I am more of a fan of paper clips and alligator clips. Much easier to use...
  3. Almost a posh sound to it "Have you seen my upwards seating pit? Had it put in the other day."
  4. Will be honest and say when I have been on Green Lantern they get groups of four, never seen a group of five arranged on the off chance they are needing a single rider. It also makes no sense on a ride that is four groups of four when grouped to have a group of five in the mix.
  5. Because it isn't a profitable business model to keep spending big on coasters and rides every year. Look at what Six Flags did before they went bankrupt and that should tell you why Ardent and Village aren't spending 15-20 mil a year on each park. You can't just keep throwing that amount of money into a park and hope it pays off. That being said Dreamworld is due for a new coaster and they really do need something that is a signature ride. They have taken some great steps with Wipeout, Tailspin and the Ocean Parade area in general now they need to put this kind of thought and effort into a decent coaster.
  6. No advertising which is why I heard multiple ads within a hour for it yesterday afternoon plus an ad for fright nights on the radio. You are either someone who doesn't listen to the radio or lives outside of Brisbane.
  7. I would hazard a guess and say what is now storage would have been maintenance at one point. It is near a logical spot for transfer track to allow addition/removal of cars (after station, before lift) and the amount of available space there would have been more than enough to accommodate the cars being taken off the track.
  8. Their location is listed as Mars, that's enough evidence for me!
  9. It was reasonably busy on Monday and that was with it raining on and off through the day.
  10. Single rider is not pointless, you are notified when waiting that single rider does not mean priority access to board the ride and will only be used when there is a spot for one person. They will not and should not be getting people from single rider when needing two or more people, the only time this should happen is if there isn't a group of two at the front of the main queue. Which would you prefer, a queue where one person can easily be grabbed from or them standing there calling for one person then that one person having to fight their way through the queue to get on the ride. The system is not broken, if you want preferential treatment when queuing for a ride then make use of the Q4U system, it is the only way you will get priority access.
  11. Will say I am impressed with Tailspin more than I am Panda, it is intense without being too intense. Found the middle the hardest to get to spin. Found the inside to be not that easy but once you start it keeps going and the forces are great, I did walk off slightly dizzy afterwards though. As for single rider on it, all three times got lucky and went straight on.
  12. I know when they were filming Insane Coaster Wars at Movie World and Dreamworld they had a whole heap of GoPros mounted with various mounts. As for just taking one onto the rides? Not going to happen. You can book rides for filming on but I doubt it would be cheap.
  13. Might I strongly suggest taking photos with the camera app and not with Instagram. Filters, blur effects and other stuff does more harm to a photo than good. Age of the phone shouldn't really matter either, iPhone 4 or newer you can get some decent results with. These were taken with an iPhone 3GS proving you don't have to own a iPhone 5S/6, Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 or spend a couple of thousand on a DSLR to get good photos.
  14. Personally I see it as just as important. This is an Internet forum not a quick text message to someone you know. I come here to read posts by others and would prefer not to have to spend additional time trying to translate what someone else has posted. If they are from another country where English isn't their main language I am ok but the "OMG, liek totally, c u l8r" crap you would get in a text message doesn't really belong here. Most phones have a full keyboard with auto-correct so there really is no excuse for chat style short hand anywhere to be honest, it is just laziness not typing out the whole word. As for using the studios for rides (and I assume attractions) I am somewhat sure if you were to visit the studios now there is a very high chance the park is using them for attractions. Will never happen full time as the noise would be too much of an issue for anyone working on a production in the other sound stages.
  15. Side note has reminded me to check for new episodes of Colbert Report on Hulu. Thanks Reanimated! Getting back on topic I know of people who have been to the park and their kids enjoyed the ride and they are recommending it to other parents so will have to say as far as an addition goes you can't call it a failure and as far as comparison to the previous attraction it is unfair. Also just as unfair to complain about this when you can't come up with another original concept.
  16. Magic eight ball said "Ask again later", as Brad said they are random when it comes to scheduling. Best bet would be to ask the park as they may know.
  17. Suddenly reanimated becomes "sick" on Friday! I may make the trip down, be a good start to a weeks holidays.
  18. Ah a Limited News article, not surprised at what has been highlighted by Reanimated from it.
  19. Welcome back, I would say you haven't missed much but that is far from the truth at the moment.
  20. To be fair he has pissed off anyone with an intelligence. George W Bush was less of an idiot than this Muppet is.
  21. Of course they wait until after for whatever stupid reason PepsiCo have stopped producing Code Red Mountain Dew locally to change sides. Mountain Dew will be the only positive for me to come from this deal. Will make a visit much more easier for someone who works nights.
  22. If by lord you mean the devil. Pepsi is a poor persons coke. Nothing can come close to coke in vanilla or glass bottle. Only positive is mountain dew other than that Pepsi coming to the park is a bad thing. Hope they don't do the same at AMF!
