Wow, every time I skipped through the video, it was the same ute, doing the same turn. Yawn. No thanks.

At least the sponsor is car related.

It's closer to a turbine than a giant mushroom is...

Maybe Dreamworld had to borrow it for some theming on the log ride for a little while.

To be honest, I'd never even looked at what's in water parks in terms of run off areas. I had mostly just assumed they all finished in larger pools rather than a track as such. Might consider checking them out next season when it's warmer. This is what you think means someone is forcing their opinion on you? .....You do understand the means of the words you're using, right?

Yep. Nearly drowned 2 or 3 times as a kid and gave up on water. I'm pretty sure I was about 16/17 when my sister convinced me to go on Corkscrew. It was the first coaster I'd been on that did a loop. Pretty sure the only other one prior to that was the one at Tops in the Myer centre. Went on cs about 15 times that day. Loved coasters ever since.

I can't swim so I just avoid water parks all together

Thrillseeker?

Coaster looks great. At least it's not called "fudge packing coaster"

Sea... water... I see the connection

It's very slow and not exactly what I'd call overly thrilling, but it's gentle enough to cover all ages. I was lucky enough to ride it before it's official opening and it's probably about a third of the speed of the Scorpion style rides.

I'd love them to either make the cinema a proper 4D one like moveiworld, replace it with a motion simulator, or scrap it all together. In regards to the SeaScrewCorkViper space, a couple of flat rides that could cater for a wider range of people and still fit an ocean theme could work. Even something like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPl95ScuOwc

Well I'll be getting both when they eventually come out as I'm sure a few other's will. I'll be sure to post a review when they're out.

https://www.frontierstore.net/catalogsearch/result/?q=coaster&_ga=1.146958196.298919154.1434625547 Frontier Developments, the studio behind Zoo Tycoon and Roller Coaster Tycoon, announced it would be returning to the theme park well with Planet Coaster, due on PC in 2016. The news was revealed at AMD's PC Gaming Show at E3.

That's true. I was extremely let down by the whole thing when it first came out. I mean sure they tried, and I guess it was the only tech available, but it already seemed outdated when the got it, and the whole nascar base just didn't seem right

For the record, there's 4 nascar simulators at redline. (With horribly outdated liveries)

​You were close, but you missed their other major motorsport attraction

​Yes, because the specific point that that comment related to was the question that directly followed it.

Was the closure in March due to the incident?

It's still a major incident requiring an in-depth investigation, hence my assumption of only 1 year rather than 2 in the example I used. How long as BSG out for?

Ok, to counter a couple of points here. I've stayed at the resort two or three times in the past and have always stayed at the Emu Walk Apartments. It's expensive, but look where it is. It's in the middle of nowhere. Yes they have a captive audience, but at the same time, the costs of maintaining those places out there don't come cheap. The quality of these places I'd personally rate at 3 star, but again, look at the surroundings, it's pretty hard to maintain 4 stars out there. Regarding the food - I might be wrong but I thought most of those places advise they're fully self-contained meaning you could/should bring your own food and cook it yourself. Also you go to a tourist area and expect people to be civil? Ha! People are dicks. Most of the time its the bus loads of Asian tourists that show up at the last minute and push in front of everyone. Being disappointed? Well that IMO is your own fault. But that goes with every popular thing or place. You build it up so much in your mind that you got so caught up on the hype train, that you missed your stop. These things are what you make them. I for one think the rock is a beautiful place morning, day or night. It's even more special if you're lucky enough to see it turn silver in the rain. Each to their own though. I'll agree, the Olgas (Kata Tjuta) aren't all that impressive and I can't say I remember much of them. You need to understand that the area is sacred to the Aboriginal people and a lot of their "dreamtime" stories are also sacred. Yes a climb has been installed for many years but it's at great odds with what the Aboriginals campaigned for (but you know, why should respect get in the way of a good tourist dollar for the government). As far as you saying you feel like you're not wanted and shouldn't be there, technically you're not. If the elders had their way, only Aboriginal people would be allowed on the sacred site. The flies. What do you expect. You're in the middle of the desert, it's hot, your body fluids provide a great source of moisture for insects and flies. I didn't read the whole thing as there's way too much text, but did you actually go on a walk and learn the history from the locals or just visit the cultural centre? Overall, and it may not be the case, but it's just how it came across to me, it seems like it's written from a terrible sheltered person who relies too much on mod cons and didn't do much if any research about the place they were going and ended up ruining a great experience for themselves.

Take this for example, The helicopter crash at DW happened 10 June 2009. The report into the findings of the incident was released just over 2 years later on 15 July 2011. I personally wouldn't expect to see a report until late 2016 at the earliest. Has anyone seen any activity on the ride site? Inspectors or anyone like that?

Not really needing it's own topic I guess, but supposedly Seaworld had issues with people being stuck on the Skyway today. Haven't seen an article yet but it's supposedly coming up on the news soon. Edit - so they were stuck for around 30mins. Had maybe 20 seconds of coverage. Supposedly smoke and heat coming from the ride. Believed to be an electrical fault.

Redline building? Hasn't that been closed for a while? What about that food shop next door to it?

Nothing seems to have changed since they diverted their attention over to ABC and the motorsport attraction
