Still better than some of the photos here:

I'm hoping I'll get to try it out this weekend

Fantastic photos too, well done for hitting 400 for you

How random is the random selection? Every few people, or only one or two every trainload?

You've got it round the wrong way - airtime is pretty much the result of negative G-force, ie being flung upwards out of your seat, as well as braking. Positive G-force is when you're being pushed into your seat, found mostly where the ride dips down and comes back up (or the opposite with regards to loops), as well as in launches. Another image for anyone who's interested/doesn't understand (the last two are to do with flying coasters so don't really matter in this scenario, but it's cool stuff to know): Absolutely amazing pics @Theme Park Girl, the poison ivy model is so detailed! Doomsday with lit-up eyes also looks superb.

I'm sure they mean 2.4 positive G-forces... 2.4 negative G-forces is some serious airtime... I'm assuming they're meaning 2.4 G-forces while upside down

^Pretty much this, I never intended it in a derogatory manner

True, although with @jcgoldcoast also going this weekend you never know.

Keep in mind B&Ms are four across, and therefore have more drag

Looks like two more tickets have been bought for this weekend... anyone here want to claim responsibility? (of course, chances are it's some random)

Probably not, while I've heard they're great rides I think a 'world's best' would have to be either a launch or a hyper.

Attendants at the park are generally pretty good and friendly. Unfortunately, you do have the occasional bad apple.

I've done DW the week of schoolies - it wasn't awful, so I'd think you could get DW done in a day the week before.

Yeah the padding is to reduce friction against the slide.

Wedgie is significantly worse on your back compared to aqualoop, never had any problems with it but there is a bit of a sting as you get with a lot of body slides. Aqualoop has the padding, but it's also a pain to have to use/get on sometimes.

Did they just screw up the ambiguous theming in that section of the park even more...?

Best option is to do them all Does anyone actually go to paradise country?

Great to hear your positive experience @screamqueens, I'm looking forward to trying it myself. Hoping they're still trialling it or it's up and running this weekend.

*sigh* @Jamberoo Fan pretty much understands the situation. Unfortunately, there's someone else who is stubborn and creepy and no matter how much we try to explain to him that there is no 'better' park he's not going to click. And no, I wouldn't say the majority of users here only care about thrill rides - a major proportion of these forums have kids and are happier with a well-rounded theme park experience than a lot of coasters.

GL was on par with Buzzsaw, at least IMO.

Looks sort of like like VRTP's counter to DW's "family halloween"

You mean, as you went past, not after (unless you were in the front seat)

I wish I could say that's not surprising

If they were to do one thing to the ride that would've been the one thing I'd want them to fix up, very happy to hear that they have

That sounds very complicated for loose items...
