  1. River Rapids given a more cohesive and relevant story / experience and opened for the entire day. Mine Ride replaced with a more interesting and up to date wild mouse coaster. Small spontaneous shows throughout the year instead of just during school holidays. Bring back the bushranger outfits for Kenny and Belinda so thy can hang around that area for photo ops during the day. Give staff working Rapids a refresher course on addition and counting to 6 to help ease long waits for the ride.
  2. This leaves the Tijuana Taxis and the Roxy Theatre as the last remaining opening day attractions? I mean sure the graveyard wasn't an attraction as much as a small bit of fun themeing but it was interactive with the breathing graves and such. I am wondering if given the area closed off they might retheme that particular area and leave the walkway from the Wild West Falls sign down to Wild West as their western area?
  3. Now we are out of holiday season we will probably be there every couple of weeks. So will keep an eye out at what is going on unless updated previously.
  4. I just don't understand why there needs to be any sort of fast pass system. There are queues for rides, you want to ride it you queue like everyone else. The main problems which have already been mentioned are capacity, efficiency and variety. They had big capacity attractions which were themed well and pretty immersive, now they don't. This is a result of the GP wanting coasters and thrill rides which notoriously have lower capacity than some of their previous attractions. The spiels and pre ride stuff, interactions with staff as a result helped forget you were technically still waiting to get on a ride or attraction (WWF video, LW video, LTRR, Batman Ride, Great Gremlin Adventure videos). The VIP passes (which I have said before elsewhere, yes did get them through GFC) have flooded the park with the fact that again the GP now expect this low price for these tickets. Long before they were released I remember being told they were looking into it but it would be at a cost equal to two annual passes but include annual entry to all three. I can imagine if they tried to put up the pricings there would be massive backlash and complaining. Look what happened when they removed the themed evenings from inclusion with the VIP pass and added a tier system to include it. We know MW is limited or space so adding an attraction usually results in the removal of another. People are not happy unless they have something to complain about. Complain there are not enough thrill rides and coasters = park puts in more thrill rides and coasters = people complain the park is too busy as there are not enough high capacity attractions to deal with this.
  5. Mike waved at the booth and they put a fake arm out waving back. The window was then slammed and the arm dropped as if they had cut someones arm off.
  6. Regarding Mike... He was a stunt man first at the park but then moved to the entertaining pre show role. I know there were reasons behind this move (which for his privacy I wont disclose) but he was no longer in a position to perform as a stunt person. He did indeed move to Dreamworld with the AVPX along with a few other ex MW performers in various roles. He has also continued to do his stand up comedy. He now is one half of "The Dream Guards" which does public and private performances " To Excite Children by delivering a High Energy Interactive Stage Show nourishing a Child's Passion & Self Belief".
  7. So according to average measurements... Shoulder width is approx 45cm (1'6")... Allow for some personal space and call it 60cm... Old stand: 1850cm x 5 rows = 9250cm / 60cm = 154 people (rounded) New stand: 850cm x 14 rows = 11900cm / 60cm = 198 people (rounded) They can fit an extra 44 people... However... Minus the seating for control booth and the VIP section (approx half of 5 rows) and they probably break about even!!!
  8. The exit ramp at the Looney Tunes end was straight to the road. Where it meets the road is still in the same place so it was widened by however far that path kinks to the right.
  9. I spend my days on phones to people all day in an inbound call centre. People are not always right, sometimes they are downright wrong. They do always have a valid opinion though as so long as you acknowledge their emotion and feelings about something most will be fine when told they are incorrect.
  10. Going to cop backlash for this... Oh yay... Another coaster...
  11. Looks like it will be decent food hopefully and definitely something to try... But struggling to understand opening another food outlet when they don't even open all the ones they already have?
  12. It was in the original guest services area for a while, then behind ricks and most recently in the western area.
  13. On all day yesterday and pressure cleaning of the concrete exit path and station was happening.
  14. It has a large display window (all fixed glass) and there is an industrial extraction fan in one corner. Carousel panels siting everywhere in that area but central section not there.
  15. The gondolas were at the back of the park resting on pallets, visible from the Resort monorail station a couple of weeks ago.
  16. One side of the story being reported today... https://www.thedodo.com/project-blue-world-seaworld-breeding-1396292502.html?utm_source=BfishFB2
  17. RACQ was selling discounted tickets to members but was only for the 2nd.
  18. Since the whole thing is not enclosed to be one building was wondering what else it could be and used that as an example...
  19. Looks like a cover between the bar and this building but no walls or anything... Could it just be a way to get power from the bar to this building? Could this be another drink fill station like the green newspaper shack has become?
  20. Pretty sure in the show he uses his bo like a helicopter blade. He was also always the tech wiz so he could have designed and built them?
  21. Construction can be heard going on inside. Circular saws and nail guns not sure what else. As far as painted panels about half are striped, a few are plain white and the rest are not painted.
  22. Green newspaper stand confirmed as rebuild. Drinks machines going in today. Structure built at Dirty Harry area. No one giving information.
  23. On a related note they were thinking of renaming the others Toyota, Nissan and Ssang Yong.. The correct name is Kai.
  24. They removed Pirate ship and put in a coaster, they removed Bermuda and put in a coaster... They have 3 adult / family rides and 2 are coasters... 5 people in these forums say it needs a coaster... Of the 387 most active users... So 1.3% of the most active people on a theme park enthusiast website say they need another coaster... Great defence...
