Which is the design element from operation enterprise. I wasn't saying it was going to be operation enterprise. I should have been more specific.

Sounds like Mack Rides Operation Enterprise at Movie Park Germany

Here this morning for early access. Just finished my second ride. All I can say is wow. What a fantastic ride. Couple of hundred people here and wait time is about 20-30 mins

Isn't Wipeout undergoing a full tear down at the moment? Also @djrappa mentioned recently we would be surprised to know how many pieces Superman's train was in during maintenance. I'm all for anything that increases public safety but I don't think we will a massive increase in maintenance schedules at the parks. What we may see is a more open process on maintenance procedures from the parks along the lines of the maintenance/safety videos to inform the public. Travelling rides on the other hand would appear to have some hard times ahead.

The QLD govt. have rejected ASF's casino and resort proposal. Key points. To have a masterplan for the spit Three storey height limit to apply for development on the spit. Casino license to remain on the Gold Coast but no integrated resort would be allowed on the spit http://www.news.com.au/national/queensland/news/gold-coast-spit-casino-and-resort-rejected-by-queensland-government/news-story/5370e99a7d840f1d57a04337ea3612d5

Problem solved. Use this instead of Kool Aid

It's part of an email from Dreamworld to pass holders reminding them their pass has been extended. It starts with We would like to remind you that your Season Pass that was due to expire in June 2017 has been extended until 24 December 2017. The post above follows that.

Just remember as @Skeeta has pointed out there is still a way to go

Saw Wonder Woman on Thursday night and the track colour was nowhere to be seen. The lasso however did have a twisty coaster feel to it which would work if the track was a yellow/golden colour. But as Skeeta says maybe the colour doesn't have to match. If it's not DC based but movie based I hope they weren't counting on this. Quote from https://www.forbes.com/sites/dongroves/2016/02/25/village-roadshow-pictures-bets-on-three-potential-hollywood-franchises/#22958c4b3be4 A unit of the Los Angeles-based Village Roadshow Entertainment Group (VREG), VRP is making it a priority to unearth films which it believes are potential franchises. Now the company is confident it has three titles which fit the bill: David Yates’ The Legend of Tarzan, Guy Ritchie’s Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur and Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One, all co-produced with Warner Bros. “ We see the future of film production as events and global franchises and films which have compelling reasons for people to leave their homes and go to the movies,” Graham Burke, co-chairman/co-CEO of Village Roadshow Ltd., which owns 47% of VREG, told Forbes. “We think our upcoming line-up delivers just that.

Pretty logical speculation based on the track numbers imo

Having only ridden the Gold Coast and Brisbane (Expo Park) coasters I'm really excited for this one. It's a coaster that one of the parks had to do and VRTP have made a bold move capex wise to do so. Not everyone loves roller coasters just like I don't like flat rides like The Claw, Wipeout etc. Everyone handles the forces on rides differently @Ryande16 so not everyone will be happy with it but at least it seems everyone here is going to try it once. Who knows maybe even @pushbutton will like it.

A non inverting loop sounds very cool but the assumed track pieces 42 and 43 have me asking questions. This would be Mack's first non inverting loop so anything goes and given rcdb.com has 11 coasters listed with non inverting loops there isn't much to look at for comparisons. Both track pieces 42 and 43 are very twisty and both have one anchor point. Intamins Flying Aces and Soaring with Dragon have a non inverting loop and the last piece of supported track on each side of the loop start straight and then twist. There is a section of unsupported twisting track that joins the 2 together. Photo Intamin Rides Shock at Rainbow Magicland has the loop fully supported but that loop is tilted over. Photo Rainbow Magicland If 42 and 43 are part of a non inverting loop I'm very keen to see how they fit in.

I also got the park today and was impressed. I look at the top of Batwing and think this coaster will be the same height. Fence at Green Lantern isn't blocked of either so here are a couple of pics.

I thought the same as @AlexB @Skeeta can you see any legal reason why they couldn't run curbing along the temporary fence line and make that the new drive way. Also in your lift hill calculations did you get the possible angle of the car park footer support and if it might create a vehicle height restriction as it crosses the road.

@themagician can you still see through the fence in the GL queue or has that been screened off?

Scrap my previous comment I thought the first lot of photos were closer to the park. I can see now this is closer to the road and the turn toward AOS and TG.

I agree with @themagician that @Skeeta is on the money here. I've flipped the Flash image to highlight themagicians suggestion in green.

Another 123 pages and we might get an announcement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDOI0cq6GZM

Thanks for the update @YLFATEEKS This is really disappointing as Village now have to waste money on legal costs and NIMBY's

Yeah if it wasn't for the tarp roof I wouldn't even bother looking.

^Haha I've been doing the same thing further down the M1 @Theme Park Girl @themagician Are the containers coming in on standard trailers and using the one swinglifter I could see in the first photo to offload or are they all swinglifters?

The current Studio Gate House would be my guess as one of Top Golfs car parks is after the gatehouse. Suggest the gatehouse will be moved to just after the car park

@Cactus_Matt brought this up in the [Wishful Thinking] The Gold Rush Replacement thread

Whilst most of us here are just eager fan boys/girls that can't wait to know what is being built what about the people that know nothing about it. It's been noted on here that getting annual leave during school holiday time can either be a lottery or have to be applied for 12 months in advance. That eliminates any potential visitors for the possible September opening and Christmas this year. I'm talking about out of town visitors in particular. I'd be trying to build as much buzz as possible to bring customers to the park. After all isn't that what advertising is all about. Generate interest and capture your market. I'll use Blackpool Pleasure Beach as an example of their upcoming Mack coaster. https://www.blackpoolpleasurebeach.com/construction/ Announced before they even turned any soil. Just my 2 cents
