Why not go with a combination of solar / wind? Not very often you have a still overcast / rainy day?

So has anyone taken a real look at the supports and figured if this will be a standard El Loco or something extra? Besides the 4 wide and lap bar seating that is.

We can but dream.

Can we also include any rides that no longer operate at any of these parkz? Otherwise I'm strapped for 6...

YAY!!! 100 posts. Just a little catching up to do. Anyways... Superman, and couldn't really say as we got off, walked around and got on the very next train (which was the same train we just got off.)

First fright night MW had we waited about 2hrs for Superman. Didn't get to go on anything else as the queue lines were all excess of an hour or so, but was well worth it.

I was thinking that earlier today. Well about Dirty Harry Bar anyways.

POP & skeetafly, My original post was an elaboration on my response to the topic of this thread. From that Gazza proceeded to degrade me and my opinions for what only seems his own satisfaction. i for one value the opinions of others and have not and will not sit down when others attack mine. If you want to take this up with anyone might I suggest Gazza as this was fine until his comments. Wyn.

Who is measuring? I'm pointing out valid opinions about the parks.

I am not refering simply to this post but almost every post I have made on these forums. I agree you have valid points that make me sit back and think "Yes I can see that now" where I may not have before. I am not simply saying you are disagreeing with me, you can't agree with everyone on everything, that's what makes us individuals, but that you constantly shut down anything I post as ridiculous and not worth spit. See first part for thoughts on derogatory not being simply for individual posts. As far as entertainment value "test" if you quoted my post a little further you will see I also said "With a lot of little changes they could bring back a lot of the "Movie Magic" for those who want that sort of experience while still making it possible for those who are simply interested in the thrills not to be forced to sit through it." I did not say force everyone to watch it because again we all have differing likes and dislikes. Why does a haunted movie backlot mean there can't be Mexicans? They were in Blazing Saddles which is in part where this comment of "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges." came from. The story was the haunted movie backlot, not the Wild Wild West movie so it did have that feel to it. As far as the water being a moot point... So why did you then move on to again attempt to shoot down my comment, especially if this was a moot point? I was in no way downgrading water parks. I said that to me, which again seems to be the whole point you miss each and everytime I post anything, they are a waste of my time. I did not say they were useless and have no reason to exist. Yes I agree that some slides are an engineering marvel along with the likes or some rides, shows and theming. But again, TO ME, there is no interest. I never expect my posts to be the "final word" as you put it. I simply hope they make people think and realise that there are people out that with differing ideas and opinions. Still missing it... It is not that one post. It's every comment you make about everything I post. If you can't acknowledge other peoples opinions then maybe your position as a "Community Leader" should be rethought. To be a leader, one must have followers. To have followers, one must have their trust. Sorry but shooting other down is hardly a wait to gain trust.

Except there is a difference between speaking your mind and simply being so narrow minded you do not acknowledge the ideas or opinions of others.

Gazza... Do you feel threatened by me? Or are you afraid of being proven wrong? The reason I ask is that every post I make you have some derogatory comment to make about it. I would think that as a Community Leader you would have a little more respect for other peoples opinions and comments in what is basically an open forum for thoughts, opinions and ideas. I am simply presenting facts. If you look at my previous posts in this and other threads you will see I present personal opinions and facts. I would not post anything that was knowingly incorrect or false. I did not say anything about a specific person drowning in it. I simply said, "people can drown in less than 10cm of water if the conditions are right, or wrong in the drowning persons case." Which is a fact. I went on to say "Perhaps he just feels safer staying away from them." which is in no way related to the first part of the post. Personally I feel safe jumping out of a plane with a parachute strapped to me. I don't feel safe bungy jumping, looking over the edge of a building or over the railing of a set of stairs 5 floors above the ground. We all have our quirks and sometimes there is no real reason for them, they are just there.

Again Gazza, just because my opinions, which is exactly what they are, are not identical to yours does not make them any less relevant. As far as any overseas parks I cannot comment as I have yet to attend any as of this moment. In relation to the comment 'Both of these retain "Movie magic" type attractions, along with modern thrill rides', if MW did this I would not see this as a problem, but they haven't. They have ripped out every last aspect of "Movie Magic", and replaced it with these rides that in some cases are loosely based on a movie. Take the BWSS for example. At the time of the opening of this ride there had been no batwing in the new movie franchise so realistically the ride has no connection to the movies it is tied to. I have said before and I'll say again... I am not mainly interested in the big rides (in saying that Green Lantern will warrant a trip to MW once), but in the theming and shows side of the parks. MW has all but destroyed this. Yes removing PASS was necessary to keep up with the times, but replacing it with a poor excuse of trying to copy Light's, Motor, Action and watching 3 cars basically drift and doughnut for approximately 10 minutes and a guy ride through fire no more that a foot high without anything happening such as a body burn stunt... Adding rollercoasters to the mix is not always a bad thing. Sure they opened LW 3 years into it, but, when it first opened it was a "The ride you are about to experience will allow you to share in some of the mental and physical forces associated with stunt driving. A task that few are expert enough to master. We hope this short film will stimulate your sense. <Watch movie> Now that you have experienced the visual stimulation the real G forces await. Stunt drivers please exit through these doors." That set the feeling that you were going to feel what the stunt people might feel during performing some of their stunts. This tied into the movie magic and not into the here is another coaster because we can afford it feel of the park. WWF was the same when it opened with the story of going through a haunted western backlot. By simply removing the one video pre loading the ride they have removed the entire story of the ride, so for those who don't know the story it is simply a flume ride with some effects going on around you. Why could they not have the video going on loop like they do in Scooby Doo or on Superman? With a lot of little changes they could bring back a lot of the "Movie Magic" for those who want that sort of experience while still making it possible for those who are simply interested in the thrills not to be forced to sit through it.

Actually AlexB I have noticed a few that are higher as I once was lazing in the boat leaning back and noticed one in the corner of my eye. If you have ever gone through with an empty boat in front of you they didn't go off.

I agree that they should definately keep it LT themed in the area. I would LIKE to see something like the Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin themed on an Elmer Fudd hunt or the ever loved Rabbit / Duck season cartoon. Sure this is a little old for the younger kids but shooting stuff that reacts will overcome this hurdle. The wife and I were talking and with the Justice League Movie in the works, why would they not rip out the batcave and make the JLHQ and we have to help them save the world from some catastrophe by getting into special pods? This would completely revamp the BMTR2 area both inside and out, give a new attraction using the current setup with some modifications? Especially since we have a Batman, Superman and now Green Lantern ride and the new DC Universe store all in that area? Either way my money is on another superhero theme. As far as Bermuda Triangle, with the recent additions of rides focussing on animal and marine rescue I would dare say that this would be another ride they may carry this theme into especially being so near the JetSki Rescue.

Gazza, people can drown in less than 10cm of water if the conditions are right, or wrong in the drowning persons case. Perhaps he just feels safer staying away from them.

I guess I should have also referred to the waiting so long for a short ride part again. But yes I go there to laze in the wave pools or calypso beach. Not one for slides either. Either way it still says that no interest in the water parks, and I don't get a day pass or yearly pass to these parks, just make use of them with the VIP passes. And on a seperate note Gazza, just because I don't go to themeparks for the same reason you do, although I may miss the point for you to go, I don't miss the point in me going.

To be honest. I can't vote for any of them. A few years back I would have chosen MovieWorld hands down, but with the current trend of closing well loved family rides, keeping storefronts closed for half the day, lack of use of the extremely well themed areas (china town and western area), and filling the park with something it was said it would never be about (coasters) I can't bring myself to vote for them anymore. I had a yearly pass every year for 12 years and then a vip pass for the last 3, but when my last pass expired I never considered renewing it as the life and spirit of the park that was "Hollywood on the Gold Coast" and a place where "movies come alive" has gone. I am not one for rides that you wait more than 30 minutes for what is a less than 1 minute on ride experience so this removes Dreamworld from any chances. No point paying to use a pool when I have one at home so Whitewater World and Wet 'n' Wild are out. Finally after killing of the origins of the park by removing the Ski Show and any elements of it in any shows since and the single best ride they had in Bermuda Triangle, and updating an older ride which had nothing wrong with it, Seaworld does not get the vote either. I recently had relatives from Europe on holidays and they were looking forward to returning to the parks after their last holiday 6 years ago. They were extremely disappointed after visiting all the parks mentioned. Sure the VIP passes are aimed at locals as that is where the market is for the parks, but think if you had one day to visit a park after 6 years of waiting only to be welcomed with what many have come to see as standard for our parks. A very poor effort.

Look back through this thread and see that I was one of 2 people who knew what was happening since day 1... Why would I knowingly create this when I have factual information that has been previously posted. It may not be correct but given the rest of the information I had that is now out there that was...

SO nice that it is sorta out there now.. I can stop dropping so many little hints that people just don't get lol... I just find it amusing that they had to move this to the currently proposed site due to the fact main roads thought it would be too big a distraction to motorists on the highway if it was placed on the grass area between the car park and the service road... What about, let me think... All of WWW? Tower of Terror and Giant Drop? Batwing and Superman? WnW's new attractions? At least it would be hidden mostly behind the trees and shrubs they have lining the highway.

Lol joz. Saw that hence my comments throughout this thread.

This place just keeps getting Sillier & Sillier.

Sorry can't actually say what I heard as I didn't hear it if you know what I mean but I made a previous comment that just might point some on the right "track"... "Isn't this a thread for the Construction at MW? Trying to decide who is El Loco for changing the topic..."

It's funny, and yes just going off pegs and dirt, but hypothetically, "The Joker" title combined with what I have heard about being previously planned for this year (see recent comments)... They match right in.
