I voted for Superman Escape. Really it's the best thrill ride in Australia. As for the slides I voted Hydro-coaster, just because it's different and fun!

Here's the link: http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-natio...00409-ryb6.html

Isn't Invertigo an inverted shuttle coaster?

Yep, I'll add B&M Flying to my dream list too. So I completely agree with Original here: It's either floorless dive or flying. That would be epic

Is this one of those "I know something you don't know" situations again?

Which brings me back to this:

I'm going to hope, and stick with saying floorless dive coaster. PLEASE!

Why would there be room for 4 if only the weight of 2 was allowed?

Care to explain what you mean?

I heard about this on the radio today... I always think "what if" when I'm on a ride like that. It's more than unnerving that it actually happened. I hope whoever was responsible, for whatever reason, doesn't ever operate/work on an amusement ride ever again... :/

Here's a POV, just released.

^^ Hahahaha ATOMIC WEDGIE! That's hilarious!

^ Wow that looked awesome! I thought that fog was concrete on the ground till it went though. Great effect! I can imagine the people on the ride would get a surprise!

^ I thought all those map websites used the exact same satellite images?

C'mon, those Google Earth people can't do everything! There are bad layers everywhere if you look lots...

It's a theme park, and the theme is the sea. So of course there are going to be lots of animals. If I went to Sea World and it was nothing but rides, I'd be like WTF?

^ Thanks for the videos! But I thought the..... erm, surprise, would be a bit bigger (in height). Still it looks kinda scary...

^ Maybe the area could be used to build a floorless dive coaster themed to a shark or something like that... Maybe they could actually call it Sea Viper, then the name would suit the coaster better because it would be a scary ride! You don't think Superman is smooth??? Or are you just talking about older coasters here? Anyways yeah I agree that the new trains are much rougher than the originals. But not quite as bad as LW.... :/

Ok, sorry I misread. On topic: So it actually happened at the dine with Shamu show? Which means that only a few people would have been there to see it (relief). It's a huge loss for the park, and it must be hard for all the other trainers. Going through photos of our trip there last October, we have pictures of the trainer that was attacked, training one of the whales (months ago) in the "dine with Shamu" show. I don't know if it's the same whale that actually attacked her. It would be sad and ironic if it was.

I know, I found this odd too... Perhaps the whole story will come out with more witness reports. Also, you don't need to quote the entire OP,

I just read this story too, it seems like the whale did not do it deliberately..... It's not good that it happened in front of a full audience though. :/

An extended tunnel with some strobes would be awesome! Maybe a smoke machine or two?

Can we expect a steeper drop, or is it identical to the old one?

Having been to IOA, I'm keen to check this out when it opens. Do we know an opening date yet?

Honestly, the lockers should be free for the duration of your ride... It's because of the ride that you can't take items on, so it's only fair that MW *should* provides a safe free place to leave your belongings.
