I'm certainly looking forward to the ride. I just don't hold much hope for their theming, but I'd love to be proven wrong by the park. I guess once this one is done and depending on what they do to RH, we should get a good indication of where they're heading.

or this

1 - what ride is that? 2 - be careful overloading it with CSO

I'm assuming from that photo it will just be like the concepts for WWW and we won't see anything theming on it at all, apart from maybe the propeller. Go on Dreamworld. Prove me wrong. Dreamworld: 10 rides per hour ~120 pph

I personally prefer the laser tag over a permanent "travelling fair" ride.

Thanks for the update........about your upcoming update? It was ........really.......insightful?

Whilst not a question specifically for you, I'd heard a rumour that each launch of the ToT effectively doubles the park's energy use at the time of launch. Surely this is a stupid rumour right? It can't be true?

I've been told by someone else on here that the mushrooms had been removed from RH. Where are they now and are they ok?

Pretty sure we all know the new ride to replace Reef Diver is a wooden B&M flying coaster. Cheers for the info. I hope the log ride does get really well done.

Actually, one thing I forgot to ask in the other thread. > What's currently inside the Eureka mountain? I know it's storage, but 1 - what is in storage, 2 - you said they never really had a clear reason for the closure, but have they ever given any mention of the removal? or was is just one of those things they never spoke of again? > From what you heard, are we likely to see anything new any time soon (apart from the obvious) or are they finally more focused on the rejuvenation of the park? > Regarding RHLR, do you know what they're planning for the revamp? Is it just the same basic stuff they do every other year (re-do the final drop), or are they going for a re-theme theme? > Are you the older dude that operated the train?

Fair enough - bit of a shame since there's so many that need more love than RH. Any idea of an estimate of Announcement > Commencement > Re-opening dates?

Was that the announcement you were talking about or are we going to hear of their other ride revamp plan soon?

You're a special kind of stupid aren't you?

You're not supposed to tell them that. You're supposed to hint at it being a B&M so everyone loses their shit over it while the few of us sit back and laugh at the idiots.

They bought seaviper to replace cyclone? or is it that the mushrooms are coming back to the log ride?

Well I did try to look it up, and the only thing I could find (without trying to find an actual regulation about it) was something saying a court could charge anywhere up to $100,000 ($500 for personal infringements) and my previous employer had advised us it was a 75k fine. Please though, prove me wrong and show me, I'm genuinely curious.

If they use that to fill the pool, isn't that about a $75000 fine or something ridiculous like that?

Yes he did. He became the immediate past president of the being alive club. But I read the report and doesn't it say that was the most likely reason, but they were not able to confirm it with certainty? (Admittedly I did read it late at night though so I might be wrong)

Contributing safety factors • The operator did not have a procedure in place to ensure independent crosschecking of the helicopter’s fuel quantity. [Minor safety issue] • At takeoff, there was insufficient fuel on board the helicopter to ensure the safe completion of the flight. • The pilot did not associate the illumination of the FUEL PUMP warning light with a possible low fuel state because of his previous experience where such illuminations were a consequence of electrical system faults. • The combination of low altitude, airspeed and main rotor RPM meant that there was insufficient energy in the main rotor for the pilot to arrest the descent rate prior to landing. Other safety factors • The helicopter’s fuel gauge may have been over reading. • The pilot deactivated the caution lights on the annunciator panel, which also deactivated the low rotor RPM warning horn. • The low fuel quantity approaching the helipad increased the risk that any unusual attitudes or out-of-balance flight may uncover the fuel boost pump(s). I guess this is a good thing.... Action taken by the helicopter operator The operator no longer operates any aircraft in Australia. Full report - It's an interesting read..... http://www.atsb.gov.au/media/2492711/ao2009026.pdf

I hope the guy that under-fuelled it got his ass handed to him. I wouldn't be surprised if it came back to being a cost-cutting measure though. Keeping in mind airlines are notorious for only just putting enough fuel in to get to their destination +~30mins hold time to save money.

That's what I remember it being too. That comes down to human error. The chopper doesn't go fuel itself up. It's amazing in this day and age that we still rely on people to calculate the fuel load themselves on aircraft. (Unless that's been changed since last time I watched air crash investigation.....which happened to be on a flight to the USA in 2011 lol)

It's a shame it (I think) was human error in the end, but a good landing in the circumstances

See now you're just confusing everyone. Who are you talking to? "anything of mine that he has dismissed" "negativity from my end?" If you're going to rant, get it right. But yes, feel free to PM me, I could use a laugh.
