  1. So the first attraction has been revealed and I think it's safe to say that Voodo will be the Zamperla discovery Revolution that they had approval to build. From FF's Facebook page. Plus the link they posted http://www.funfields.com.au/rides/gravity-wave-victoria-biggest-waterslide
  2. Maybe it was a typo. As 3 months to 33 days is a big difference.
  3. Plus cable replacements don't take long. Cedar Point of got it down to a Tee. They can close the park and replace the cable over night. So a cable replacement wouldn't take 3 months.
  4. I really think Abyss was marketed and teased really well. This was the offical TVC teaser. Plus there are the 2 news reports and other marketing videos. they also had a nice launching ceremony. These are the the 2 news stories they ran. And these are the Kraken ones.
  5. I would say yes. I know cedar point uses 2 cables a year for Top Thrill Dragsters. So I would assume that Superman has been through a few cables in its 10 years or so.
  6. Or with Jet Resuce. That's 3 coasters MW brought within a few years from Intamin. Surprising they were all launched coasters.
  7. But that will be the other problem. How will non riders inside the park be able to see their mates on the coaster. Considering how big and far away this coaster goes I doubt you will be able to see much from the station. But I have no doubt this coaster will be popular with the GP.
  8. Which means I think we will see the NI loop track done next before the lift hill track due to there is no lift hill track on site.
  9. It seems like we might be seeing just supports going up now until more track arrives. From he pictures it looks like there is not much track left in the car park.
  10. The screens are now playing a live stream of the cubs.
  11. So can you go into the stores from inside the park yet?
  12. Well the Hyper coaster did not even make it into the travelandleisure.com top 48 attractions for 2017. Yes this is an international list including Coasters from Germany and Dubai. (It even has water parks and a S&S free spin on it) However the reason is that MW have waited so long to tease and God Knows when we will get an offical announcement. So not many people other then ones who visit the park frequently or people like us will know about it. Which I think is where VRTP have screwed themselves over and missed a big opportunity. The list is here: http://www.travelandleisure.com/attractions/amusement-parks/new-theme-park-rides-2017
  13. Flying aces issue by Intamin so of course the support structure will be different.
  14. And remember they have be approved for a revolution 360 ride. Could that be what Vodo is?
  15. So FF's has announced a new ride for the next season. A second new ride. This is great news for Fun Fields and its goods to see more parks investing! From FF's facebook page.
  16. I know that Cedar Fair spent $350,000 USD to remove Their boomerang from Knotts. (It was taken apart price by price to be relocated) So if you add Australia's higher wages and then the coaster to get it trucked to the park and then reinstalled. I would say it's not worth it when the park could put that money to a new ride.
  17. sadly the information on who owns Area 51 and what it's used for is classified information! 😂
  18. I am going to say the coaster looks like it will be intense. But I am sure it is going to be a thrill coaster that the GP will enjoy and hopefully make the investment pay itself off. I don't think Mack will design a ride that will make people unconscious and I am sure it will be an awesome coaster. Remember at the end of the day theme parks build what the GP want not enthusiast and from MW's market that is big a$$ coasters.
  19. ^ I don't think lately Cedar Fair knows what a family/ kids coaster is. (Mainly CP) (Thatwas a joke for people who can't tell. They do add family rides but they love their thrill coasters.)
  20. I would say it looks like Maverick and Millenium Force had a baby. (Just not as tall)
  21. AW's inferno and their go karts are sponsored by channel 11. They use to have the channel 11 flag on top of the inferno tower (when it was free fall) and they have the Prject and Simpsons billboards behind the Go karts.
