I would say the bridge might be closed until top golf opens as that is still a construction site.

Question is this a top 10 coaster?

@Glubbo why not? I thought they would let him post from the top of the lift hill?

I think it's a good idea. When they have a 30million dollar investment they need it to pay for itself and give a ROI. So charging for the backwards seat might help.

So the Goliaths Awakenig story part 1 has been posted int he lead up to its launch on the 23rd. Next weekend!

And people said the face would ruin the coaster.

I picture something either this size or smaller if it cost a few million. This is Kahuna falls from AW costs 3 million AUD.

It could really be anything. It could even be something like Pipline Plunge (WWW) or Kahuna falls (AW) they cost around 3 million or it could be small stuff. It's unknown the scale at this time.

@Adventures With JWorld I believe it was said 75 metres.

So I am surprised nobody has mentioned this yet. But Sea World did a live stream this morning about the polar bear cub and announced a few things. The most exciting will be Castaway Reef which is the new splash pad area which will be a multi million dollar attraction opening in October this year. Along with the Sea Jellies opening next April, the new Sea Lion show and the VR replacement in 2019. So hopefully we see SW transform back into its former glory.

@ABYSS it's not the park map. From the photo the park map is to the right of that place. The meeting area is a point next to the old paddle boats lake (now grass area) for people to go as a meeting place. The sign says meeting place. here is a photo credit to Perth Theme Parks (Iwerks)

Remember we did have a Dreamworld Exec on the boards answering questions a while ago.

And just like SixFlags MW plans to operate his coaster in thunder and lighting! 😂

@Skeeta it's to pay of debit and fund the future of the company. A large chunk of their debit being Rivals and Top golf. So I would say it is funding all aspects of the company.

I wonder if the deal for first rides on Rivals will still happen.

@ABYSS it's definatly a brick building so not toilets for construction workers. I think it could be either a storage area, power distribuation room or a fire hydrant building. When they open up I will have a look.

I have always said a windseeker would be great at Sea World. But weather the wind would not allow one to be built. As they are lifted with cables. But one would be great for views and a visual icon for the park.

I think they choose Zamperla for capacity not price. The Zamperla ride has 64 per a cycle compared to 40.

Fair enough. What my point was and this is my opinion with AW charging $150 for a season pass for a seasonal park (which has less rides and most likely lower operatinonal costs than VRTP or Ardent. Out of that $150 there is more extra cash for the parks owner and for future spending. Compare that to a cheaper pass that lasts a year for $100 (just an example) they will have less of a profit margin which means they have less that they can spend on rides. I know both GC parks get a much higher attendants than AW. But if passes to the GC parks where around $150-$200 think what attractions they could be building. Yes VRTP are spending big on attractions and I know that the passes are cheap due to competition. But that was the point I was trying to make. I just worded it wrong.

@AlexB my point was more about that DW and VRTP theme parks are short charging themselves with passes and that leaves them with less extra money that they could spend on a new attraction or even for Ardent's case funding their American operating. I said that AW (a smaller theme park) $150 is reasonable for a season pass and for a park open all year round with quality rides like a VRTP pass should be over $200 a year I believe.

@Slick that price is good for AW the GC parks should be (mainly VRTP due to Rivals) be charging more than that. FYI that price above is AWS sale price. This is the reason AW keeps building rides as they actualy charge realistic prices.

@iwerks what where they last season?

I am gonna say we won't get any major scale coaster in Australia for a few years at least.

@Rabbit2014 It will be 2 trains.

@pazzap so you wanted this Hyper to be about airtime and speed. But it's like MW already have a coaster focus on that. Hmmm maybe Superman Escape? This Hyper is meant to be a crazy coaster with twist and turns and full on.
