So why is this site called parkz if it's only the coasters people care about? See my previous post as this conversation has already popped up in this forum...

Or you could just not care about coasters in general...

Since I agree with Gazza that using a portable website would allow more people to use the program and not just those with iPhones, I voted No and No I won't download. Therefore I don't believe any other parkz should do it. So why do I have to select a park I think should? Vote poll fail.

Right-o... Think I'll keep up to date on the news somewhere else...

During my daily routine of getting up to date with the news so I know what the hell some of the guests are talking about came across this: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/slideshowajax/world/177005/amputee-thrown-from-rollercoaster-dies.slideshow I applaud MW for not allowing her on the ride. If this had happened prior I wonder if her attitude would be different?

So that leaves ACT and NT then?

I'm not complaining. I love the new floats they keep putting in the parades. I was simply making a statement following on from jimmyonparkz. Probably the only thing I would have to say is that the LMFAO skit, while it looks awesome and definately has the interests of the crowd, this song is being used to death in a lot of places now. In saying that, would love to head down and see it. Can someone please fix the title of this forum? It's been annoying me for a few weeks now...

I agree with this comment, I'm sure that won't surprise many people here.

The parade when they brought out Scooby Doo was great. Had the typical story of Daphne being captured and then the Looney Tunes and Batman helping to get her back with the villians siding with the ghosts. It had everything, good choreography, fly wires, dancing, good music and a decent story to tie them all together. With Green Lantern coaster around the corner I would hope they will turn to a superhero story and make the parade more interesting than simply floats, waving and dancing.

Not sure where else to post this, so this will do... Spending a fun filled afternoon randomly "surfing the net" and came across this: http://www.kuriositas.com/2011/10/mangyongdae-last-funfair-in-north-korea.html

Didn't say it was a bad thing. If anything is a great thing. Don't have any alternatives in mind, just as I said, not sure about it. About the highway grass area, spoke with my source a few weeks ago and he confirmed from what he has been told it was to be part of the adrenalin park that has been discussed in this thread previously. However at the time he first mentioned it, the idea had not been confirmed due to the issues I have mentioned previously.

Decided to take a detour home from Brisbane to Logan and pass MW. The coaster looks amazing but I'm not sure about the placement. It could just be the temporary fencing everywhere putting me off, but I must say it is a more intimidating sight driving into the carpark than Buzzsaw.

Most of our guests are either interstate or from overseas here on holidays. No one has said anything about either the passes or prices.

Can't say I have ever jumped on that boat. This, this right here. That's what I'm talking about.

I can only speak for myself as I do not know the circumstances of every person in the forums. From your post I will say for you and your family yes they were a fantastic option. I had an Annual Pass to MW from New Years Day 2000 through to a couple of years ago. The VIP passes came out and I stopped attending MW almost altogether as the direction of the park was no longer of interest to me. Remembering that the park is first and foremost a business and all businesses need to turn a profit to remain operating. The passes did what MW intended them to do, kept revenue up and kept the park operating during a financially difficult time for everyone. Sure the flip side is it became a great deal for a lot of people but I am sure they didn't decide "Hey why don't we bring out this pass because it will be a great deal for the general public. Oh and we just might make some money along the way."

Again, I am only stating what I am told by guests to the hotel at which I work. I still recommend all parkz to guests and let them make the decision of where to go as my opinion is mine alone and let them make the choice themselves. If you choose not to believe that people I have spoken to when I ask about their day are making these remarks that is your choice. I figure this is a forum about parkz, this thread is about the GL coaster going in at MW, and the comments made to me by these guests are a relevant point brought up by members of the community in regards to this topic. I have since day dot said I prefered the old MW (shows and experiences) over the new MW (rides and lack of decent shows). Just because I seem to be in the minority in these forums does not mean I am the only person in the wider public that feels this way. It would be like taking a group of 100 people from the city and saying their opinions are the same and therefore can be a good reflection of the approximately 20 million Australians spread throughout the continent. While it gives you a very loose and general idea it will more likely than not miss a great deal of issues that people from the outback and coastline areas.

Hear hear. Again... This is the comments of the guests not mine. Some I agree with, some I don't. I am simply presenting the facts as they have been told to me.

Just found the countdown page. http://myfun.com.au/big3/?WT.mc_id=MFHomepage;Carousel;VIPPass2011-2012;Pos2;30082011 Looks like they wont be selling them. Hopefully this is the death of these passes. The quick revenue raiser seems to be coming to an end!!!

Just saw the ad on tv advertising the VIP pass for $109.99 stating sales finish October 31. Does this mean it will go up after this time? Or that they will not be selling the passes after this time? Very confusing.

Lovely to see the forums filling with people who cannot understand that the general public, not just us theme park regulars have an opinion which presents valid points. The park used to be one of the most family friendly parks where the whole family could do multiple rides and experiences together and they were aimed at the larger audience (Looney Tunes, Gremlins, Maverick, PASS to name a few). Now it is either large thrill rides for the older group or WB Kids Zone for the younger kids. I also just had a VIP Pass holder comment to me she is no longer going to the park as it has declined dramatically in the last few months. Again, their comments not mine.

Feedback yes.. positive hardly... They complaining there is nothing they can do with their children there and that it is no longer what they would label a "family orientated" park. Again this is their comments not mine.

You have to remember though that a lot of people probably haven't gone to overseas parks. Looking at the myfun website and seeing that of the 8 currently listed rides under their rides page (including BATR2 and GL), 5 of them are coasters. I would say that "Rollercoaster World" is a fair comment.

Something I have found interesting over the last couple of weeks is the number of guests at the hotel referring to "Rollercoaster World." When I give them a puzzled look they say they believe MW should be changing its name due to the fact is is overun with coasters now and there is nothing for the family to do as a whole and very little for the non thrill seekers.

I would love to think so but as mentioned on their website by someone else... Wouldn't this be a selling point and so be advertised as well?

I'm going with my idea and calling this an overhang. Still not an inversion... Possibly painful, but not an inversion.
