A Current Affair - 'Theme Park Heaven' segment
Dreamworld was voted the best and Seaworld worst. Best Themepark Comparison?

WVTP New Food Policy
Are they still strictly enforcing the no food policy? Or is it really easy to get through with food?

Dreamworld introduces peak and off-peak pricing
Wow even the off peak price has been increased, I hoped it would have stayed at $69, after all no major attractions have been added. Anyone think that WVTP will follow suit or keep their ticket prices the same to keep a competitive edge?

(de)construction
Were they really different? Faster? Slower? Did you get any pictures? Good to hear, new paint jobs are always nice. On a side note, why is there holes in the top of the slide that let light in? Is it for safety reasons?

Does anyone know the updated holiday prices? The website hasn't been updated yet.

Aussie World Waterpark Canned

Movie World Halloween Fright Nights
From what I have read this coaster is not at all a high capacity ride and clearly a high capacity attraction is what MW needs, so this probably would not be a good choice.

New Ride Additions for 2010?
I am interested in seeing everyone's opinion on what rides you think are in store for our parks in 2010. I personally hope MW is in for a big new thrill ride. Considering it has almost been 3 years since Batwing I think it is about time they added something extra to the line up. I hope for a new rollercoaster, wooden perhaps, something filled with speed, airtime and headchoppers. Something that will really bring the Western area back to life. I think W'n'W could receive another addition as they are relatively cheap and Terror Canyon is in need of a replacement/repair. The H20 zone could do with another thrill attraction to improve capacity. A bowl slide or two (for improved capacity) would be great here; each enclosed and decked out with lights, music etc. etc. W'n'W are also currently lacking a dark mammoth slide which would do nicely in place of TC. As for the other parks... SW have received a nice round of additions in the last little while and with the new show and Sea Viper ride I think 2010 will be a quiet year. WWW will probably just stay the same, though I would love to see the proposed expansion go ahead. DW could do with another thrill ride which I hope will eventuate in 2010, who knows. So what do you think could be in store for 2010? Let the speculation/hopes/rumors begin...

NEW IDEA'S FOR MOVIEWORLD
Mmmmm, I love the Pandora's Box concept and I think it could make a really great darkride somewhere over beside SDSC (Near Boot Hill perhaps) MW lacks any sort of spin rides and this would do the trick while filling the attraction gap between Scooby and Wild West.

NEW IDEA'S FOR MOVIEWORLD
Although unlikely, I personally would love to see a wooden coaster placed in the Wild West area. A high speed, well themed GCI would be perfect. Something new and unique for Australia, great marketing potential plus it adds to the current line up which seems to be lacking in this area. This was on the cards for MW once, but the idea was scrapped (can't remember why.) Could someone elaborate.

Universal Studios Singapore
This looks like it will be a great park when it is finished. Those dueling coasters look nice and will be great with a launch.

Aussie World Waterpark Canned
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I was so looking forward to this. Shame it can't go ahead the plans looked so good.

How many times have you been on Superman Escape?
Lines must have been incredibly short. I once got on Scooby about straight after getting off by going through the Fire Exit door.

My QLD trip
I think I read somewhere that JR launches at 60kmph and then is further accelerated to 70kmph on the second launch. Could be wrong but I am sure the second launch is faster than the first.

Sea World ski stars sunk by pirates
Good to see that the ship has been incorporated into the new show which IMO seems like much better use of it than before.

Seaworld and Wet n Wild to have a Dominos outlet
Isn't this the price for a pizza from normal Dominoes without a coupon. If the ones at Seaworld are normal size (which doesn't seem the case) then it really isn't a rip off BUT that is only if they are the same size.

WVTP New Food Policy
Nice catch Alex. They can't do anything about it unless they amend the terms and conditions like you stated.

The Off Topic Topic
Haha, that is ridiculous. One of the rafts almost sunk.

How many times have you been on Superman Escape?
I used to keep a count but after a while I lost count due to the shear amount of times I have ridden it.

Q150 one month countdown
Triple post! Wow. Anyway to save starting a new thread I thought I may as well say good bye here. I leave for India on Monday at 9:30am from Brisbane and arrive at Chennai that evening at 10:00pm after losing four and a half hours. This Saturday some of my family are going to MW and then SW the next day. So busy weekend for me and I hope everyone has good holidays that is if you get them I probably won't be posting for the next few weeks so until then.... Bye.

"...some guests may be unable to ride."
Wouldn't they have to be all the same for safety reasons.

Six Flags files for Bankruptcy
Remember that locker costs are standard at most if not all parks, so it is nothing exclusive to Six Flags as I am sure you are aware.

Yep, and to this day they still haven't sold one

Major Theme Park for S/W Sydney
Yeah half the pictures on that page are directly from the B&M website which looks really dodgy.
