TBH I would be surprised if there are any new plans for Chairlifts (the ski lift type like AW/Arthur's Seat.) due to potential safety issues surrounding being able to restrain daft Rider's. Gondolas/Skyways on the other hand feel like a safer experience and possibly easier to introduce in our Modern Day Australian Theme Parks. Personally, the old fashioned Chair Lifts scare the shit out of me and for that reason I absolutely adore the experience. Rode one in Rotorua recently and there's something about sitting on (basically) a plank, unrestrained, feet dangling and basically 100 foot drop directly below you...yikes! I sincerely hope we one-day see a Skyway return to gracing the Skies above Sea World. Even with all the new Atlantis additions, this Park still needs something like this, for sure.

Thanks for the pics! I gotta say I was impressed when I visited the Park recently. Fresh paint everywhere and smiling, friendly and helpful staff should always be the norm in any Theme Park. DW definately has that over the competition! The only major ride down was MDMC which was no loss, it sux anyway. We spent a long time out in the Animal areas of the Park, which truly have become one of the Park's greatest assets. They are most certainly getting their fare share of Tourists from.Asian countries still visiting. Honestly DW hasnt looked this good in years and the recent changes in Management are clearly a reflection of this. I'm happy to sit on the side of optimism about the Park's future at this point.

^ There is no point in spending money on promoting SV with any Advertising or Sponsorship until they can get an all-clear to open it.

That's good to know! Stands to reason why the Train is not currently operating, given the demolition.

I got to visit DW today for the first time in a while (been more than a year). There was an Excavator tearing apart the Ampitheatre area by the old Carpark entry. WORRY NOT! Dear Cannonball Express fans, I believe your beloved Train is safe, at least for now, but not sure of condition the track around that side is presently in? Hopefully still in tact? The clearing appears to be isolated to wiping out the Ampitheatre, possibly adjacent Blue Lagoon too, frankly this is a good thing right?

Good riddance. Big Brother finished when Gretel left the series years ago. Maybe those stupid kids did everyone a favour by burning a derelict snake infested shithole to the ground? Surely nothing like what happened to Magic Mountain Gold Coast back in the early 90's?

Yes. It was the "Garage" space to your left just as you walk passed the ride photos.

I heard they have been having issues with registration of the Fantastic World's title and Artwork due to licensing issues with WB's. The artwork I saw does very much look like Fantastic Beasts, which is kind of expected with that part of the Harry Potter Universe surely getting a spot in this new Park. Very exciting times for Florida Theme Parks!

Interesting if WHSQ are holding this back given this same type of ride has operated safely, for years, all over the world in countries where Insurance premiums are a hell of a lot higher than here. If this is the main reason why, really they are being ridiculous. The TRR accident happened because of years of neglect, ignorance and arrogant decisions made on DW's part to do things DW's way. Comparing that situation to the SV delay is ridiculous and WHSQ need to sign it off and get the fucking thing open already.

What would a DW Employee know about WWF maintenance @pushbutton?

I thought it was Cerise

^ same @Brad2912 - just 2 in my immediate family and already we are looking at $70 just to get in the door! Without trying too hard, we will throw $300 on said day and one that just cannot justify in the fun budget for any given August I'm afraid. Not to mention the cold/flu bugs that the event is notorious for.🤒🤕🥳 🤧😷

But nothing to do with Insurance premiums for Rides at the EKKA spiralling out of control right?

Of course you do.

Oooooooooooooh......Goodie!

The Conjuring 'Universe' is that big in the Cinematic world right now, it currently holds title for Highest grossing horror Flicks (Nun, Annabelle). Not to mention Movie goer's use that 'U' word when referring to this particular Franchise - one that was formally exclusively reserved for icons Marvel, possibly Star Wars. Like or not, this is the biggest thing in Horror right now and therefore a practical/perfect/logical choice for MW to cash in for the upcoming FNs. I'd be disappointed if they don't.

^ what kind of clothes do Zombies wear?

Not gory but it is the moment when someone's life came to an end and that's plenty enough for most.

Take a look at the surrounds just as the ride pulls in. Looks like someone's crappy back yard off to the left. The entire coaster was just thrown down on top of an available flat space without any care or attention to landscape/dress the surrounding area up. You of all People know that's a pretty shit effort Mista A-Lexi-B 😊

This looks fricken awesome and those first 2 loops... Wow! Absolutely, @Jobe something like this would be a most welcome addition to DW - surely even they could do a better job at the themeing/landscaping than Kennywood.

A--Lexi-B Superman Lockers have been FOC for some time now, just sayin😋

Thanks @Brad2912 I wonder, are the props going in that last pic a clue of what's to come? I'm still hoping for Annabelle (Conjuring Universe)

.. the same reason why the State's Beer is spelled with 4 X's?

Absolutely not. This is 100% DW's fault.

You would need to see the movie yourself to know that there is far more to it than a Posessed doll.
