I wonder if in this case it's used like a brake to slow it on the up hill stretch? Yeah looks like lean forward and go head first :S

One look at the way DW is heading should answer that for you.

^ For you maybe, but it worked perfectly fine for me.

Bugger, no idea how the hell I missed that, it looked awesome. Cheers for the vid

Low-res photo is low res. Or a potato. Can't quite tell. Anyway, does anyone else see the red bearded guy in the JR station? Obviously it's just SV in the background, but it looks like some red guy with a beard taking photos

Don't remember hearing of that one. Any info?

Even better. While the Showtime guys are great, As you've said, I can't see it fitting the area either without an entire retheme.

But I'd bet at least one of them could take a joke

Yeah ~4 years at maccas landed me my current job of 3 years so far with one of the big 4 banks, so it might not be the best job ever, but their training regime is probably one of the best in the world for that late/end of school age group.

You raise a good point though. A simple sheet of plastic advertising/white plastic cable tied to the "ladder" would fix the issue in <1 minute.

Yeah I can't really see it fitting too well while leaving enough room for the Evo's. In saying that it will just be a temp show of probably 6-12 months in which time we'll all grow to just accept it and move on to complaining about other aspects of the park.

So it looks like currently they're using Showtime FMX (who did the Halloween Carnevil too) - anyone know if they got a contract with them to do Overdrive? or does it use another team?

Would you rather it seem "odd" now that the troughs are full, or would you rather the filtration break down on day one and have the ride closed while they work out the problems? Isn't this lining up for a boxing day or at least some time in december opening? I would have thought that would have been tested already by this point, plus what's to say the water isn't drained tomorrow to test the drainage systems? wait - did I just see real fire in that preview?

Dreamworld Australia Please be advised that despite the precautionary evacuation due to a fire within Dreamworld’s vicinity, we will be open again tomorrow for normal operation. The safety of our Guests, staff and animals has been paramount during this process. Thank you to everyone for all your well wishes, understanding and support. ----------------- And some pieces of shit are expecting a refund because they were evac.

Would it have killed you to post a link? http://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/fire-crews-contain-grassfire-at-bundamba/story-fnii5v6w-1226755994290 Park management has ordered an evacuation although at this stage no property inside the park is under threat.

Just got back from tonights event. This is what the crowds should be like every night! Got through superman twice, GL once, 3/4 mazes, carnevil and scooby (@10.30) Didn't get around to darkness. All the mazes were good - bad timing with WD meant we walked through as the supervisor was telling certain zombies to go on break. Carnevil was great - loved the jokes beforehand.

Darkness is a fairly small maze in the scooby queue - why not put one on that path down the the kids area? - or if they have actually gutted the old LTRR area and aren't using it for storage (which they probably are) they could have thrown one in there. I'd be much happier to pay more for less people. And when you look at it, that would work for them too. Look at the number of people who are willing to pay 15 bucks for a burger, people will pay, people will bitch, people will move on with life.

It's not so much that there's "too much" smoke - I'd say it's just too thick just around the pumps, but that's one of those things that is to be expected and you just have to take a bit more care when walking - in some spots, it's dangerous - IMO mostly where superman connects to main street as there's a few kerbs and a bottleneck of people you're likely to walk into - in saying that, I never saw it happen. I don't understand how anyone could be confused with the scooby/darkness queues - they're clearly labelled as to what they are - the entry/sign for darkness should be about 20m back just outside gotham cafe though as that's where the line always seems to be - wouldn't have hurt having an A-frame sign up for Walking Dead all the way back where its queue starts as that's the one that causes the most confusion with Evil Dead.

TBH, I'd rather pay the higher entry fee. As I said, the event as a whole was great, it didn't seem as bad the first few nights, but last night it felt like they'd let a lot more people in, and sent a lot more staff home early.

So I went to tonight's event after walking around at the Gold Coast 600 all afternoon, and damn my legs are sore, and I'm sunburnt. Tonight I felt just wasn't as good as the last few nights. Evil Dead had changed a few of their actors and they just didn't seem to pull it off as well as usual. In saying that, it might have just been because I've now done the maze about 5 or 6 times. Lined up for GL, took about 30mins or so. The queue was only back to the banana teeth guy. Got a ride with audio and the logo on the front of the car pulsing. Went over to Walking Dead - thank god I'd seen it the first night - it wasn't that late - only about 9:15 when we went through - 90% of the actors were missing. Saw maybe 6 in the entire maze. None near the cars at all - there was probably about 4 just in that area alone last time. Walking out of there, saw 2 of the chicks from ED leaving for the night (carrying their bags and heading out). As we were heading back through the park, it was probably about 9:30/9:45, the stage gone from main street, saw 2 of the Darkness guys presumably leaving (heading over towards WWF). As we were in the line for Scooby (blah blah, it's the same at night - yes, but we'd done the mazes and wanted one last ride before we left) we saw yet another Darkness guy wander up the street a little towards WWF, but then stop and just sit on the bench opposite the Scooby queue. I mean sure, it's late, but the mazes were still open - that means there's people who still want to see stuff - don't send you staff home at 9/9:30 when there's still at least an hour and a half to go. Hopefully they learn from this year (not a chance) and realise they shouldn't let so many bloody people into the park. They were doing groups of 14 through WD to try to move the queue faster and the staff looked really rushed. Not to mention you can't walk 3 steps without almost walking into someone. Overall the event is great, but it would benefit so much more with a few hundred less people allowed in.

Your apology is accepted

Yes of course I went in when wristbands were being handed out.... they were being handed out all night. The park was being cleared of vistiors as I walked in, as I stood around for 10 minutes, as I spoke to 2 different staff members, as I walked back and got my wristband, and for around 30 minutes after that. Not sure what your point is there. Some of you need to learn the difference between a complaint and a comment. Let's recap First night I went, no wristband needed. No problems from anyone all night. Second night I went, entered park at the same time as night one, no wristband given, politely asked by one lady why we didn't have them on, explained we were not provided them and didn't need them night one, showed the SP ticket, "no problem, just keep the ticket with you". Stopped by that guy who was in charge, explained everything to him, he tells us to please go get a wristband from the front. Walked to turnstyle, asked for wristband Was told we don't need one with SP tickets Asked for one anyway and explained what happened and was given wristband Went back and gave the boss guy a heads up that turnstyle staff didn't know SP holders needed wristband Boss guy was too busy telling idiots to gtfo on the other side of the rope and walk around the fountain to seem to care. No problems with that, he could have been more of a 'people person' considering his role, but he probably is, and was just pissed at idiots who can't comprehend simple instructions. ED queue without fastpass ~30 minutes ED queue with fastpass ~3 minutes All mazes can be done in one night, and you may be able to fit in a SE ride as well if you skip food and plan it right.

I will be going friday and saturday I'll be the guy in the shirt and shorts with the dark brown hair.

....ok?
