Looks smooth! -
Haha, maybe you could cut her some slack because you're a theme park enthusiast yourself!

Gotta love Totta! -
Sounds like your having a great time! If I'm honest, Disney will make you way more tired than Ocean Park!

Ideas For Mazes, Precincts & Panic Rooms

I'd personally love to see the same sort of train thing done with wild west falls. You could theme it to a zombie outbreak in the old west and you'd be done! -

I'm interested to see what this will be! As many members have stated, next year is the 30th anniversary of gold rush so it would be very plausible in the sense that they would want to do it, but if it's physically plausible is a whole other question. Still interesting to see what this will become, even if it is just a shop or some new games. -

I love the suspense on the Hair Raiser because unlike the Giant Drop, it has an AWESOME kick to it! -
Have a awesome time and I hope to see a great trip report!

Luna Park Sydney - the future with Wet'n'Wild

Well, Mystery Manor is officially open and I've heard its pretty good actually! It's made by some people over in America that are actually pretty good at making haunted houses! Power Surge is also there as well for anyone that wants to lose their lunch. I'm sadly unable to get down these hols but it would be awesome to hear what the haunt is like! -
If he is, good on him! But if this is rubbish >:(

Well, that escalated quickly, too early for a Ron Burgundy quote? -
What's worth checking out at Disney?
Wil_i_am_not replied to Wil_i_am_not's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I've heard that Halloween Horror Nights is really scary at Universal but not sure about Busch. Make sure you definitely check the Purge ceremony as I've heard reports that that is really in depth and cool! -

One tip for test track is DEFINITELY go single riders line, we beat a 55 minute line just from doing that and we all stayed mostly in the same car anyway, have a great drip downunder! -

Yeah I know! I was amazed that I got so much done in so little time, considering it was a public holiday -

Hey all! As some of you know I have recently been to Disney World and I am home now, safe and sound. I will be doing a little bit of a trip report So first of, I went to Epcot. I know what most of you said about going to MK first, however the lines were EXTREMELY busy already at MK and not at all at Epcot so we headed of there first. I didn't know this at first, but it was actually the long weekend or some public holiday over there when we went, so that would explain the waits at MK. Anyway's, after we got to the park, we all took lots of photo's of "the giant golf ball" as my friends referred to it (being the non-knowing theme park-ing teenagers they are xD). After that we headed straight to Test Track. There was a 55 minute wait in the normal line, then a 5 minute wait in the single rider's line, so (obviously) we took that line, and beat a hour wait! Test Track was amazing, the feeling of pure speed is great and everyone ended up mostly in the same car anyway! Next we did some wandering and found Innoventions and rode Sum of all thrills. Now this was really cool! Me and my buddy designed an amazingly intense ride and beat the other groups by far! Straight after Innoventions, we bought some (RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP) soda's and headed for the world showcase. One of the girls who was with us was in LOVE with japan, so of course we had to spend 45 minutes here. I was fine with that because it gave me some time for some awesome pictures and to relax and soak in the atmosphere! After the 45 minutes we took the boat back to Canada and headed into this MASSIVE shop just opposite Innoventions, I don't remember what it was called but it was amazing and we did most of our shopping here. It was about 11:30 by now so we headed back and took the monorail to MK. Magic Kingdom The lines had definitely died down by now so we went inside. We headed straight for the train station and took the old steam engine straight for Frontierland. We didn't head straight for Splash Mountain, but to the Fastpass area so we could book our fastpasses. After that we headed to Splash Mountain. We didn't use our fastpass for this as it was only a 50 minute wait and we DESPERATELY needed to get wet since it was really hot. After we got on we were very relieved to be on and a little bit wet from Slippin' falls! Let me just say that this is BEAUTIFULLY themed like every Disney ride and the animatronics were amazing! The last drop into the Brer Patch was awesome, and even a little bit of airtime! I bought a souvenir photo, however they were $25!! That did however include an online pass to get online copies of your photos, however talk about expensive! After that, it was about 12:30 so we headed to Fantasyland to grab a bite to eat (we would have gone on Big Thunder however it was closed and we also couldn't get FasPasses for that reason also. We ate at a Pinocchio restaurant and I got some chicken nuggets, fries and a coke. We checked back to see if Thunder Mountain was open but it wasn't so we headed of to Haunted Mansion. Beautiful ride, awesome concept and yet again AMAZING theming. I would have to say the Ballroom scene was my favourite (FUN FACT: Did you know that in the ballroom scene, the women ghosts actually lead the men ghosts when dancing?) After that I went to a beautifully themed tangled bathroom (xD) and we headed off to Frontierland again. We got a Mickey ice cream bar and what do you know, the ride opens up! We jump in line and its only a 5 minute wait! Beautiful coaster and I got the back seat because I heard that that is the best seat in the coaster. Some great pops of airtime and again, a beautifully themed ride. We walked back to Fantasyland and jumped on the Carousel because it was practically a walk-on. After that we headed over to Tomorrowland and straight to Space Mountain, since we had Fastpasses for that. It was practically about a 5 minute fastpass wait which wasn't too bad. The whole experience was amazing and the track and corners and drops were spectacular! It's probably my favourite coaster of all time and DEFINITELY my favourite Indoor Coaster of all time. I loved the idea of the Video Games in the queue line and it seemed to keep the people waiting entertained! I also got a ride photo on this one. We had a quick ride on Astro-Orbiter and it was about 4pm then so we exited the park and took the Monorail to Blizzard Beach! Blizzard Beach We came here instead of Typhoon Lagoon sheerly for Summit Plummit and thats what we headed straight for. 10 of us headed up, 8 chickened out. It was me and my other friend. Let me just say that it was the most intense water slide I have ever been on and probably the most intense ride Disney has ever built! After that amazing experience we did Crush and Slusher Gusher (I dont even know lol). And went home, since it closes at 5pm. Magic Kingdom (again) We then took the Monorail back to Magic Kingdom and did Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This ride was absolutely awesome! Theming was yet again amazing but a 75 minute wait, WHAT!?!?!? It was very interesting to ride a coaster like that with swinging cars and was very cool! After we finished that it was about 7:00 so we got a bite to eat and sat down for a while (since we were all tired of walking so we sat down and watched the fireworks afterwards. We then re-did Splash Mountain because I heard that its a completely different experience at night. We got stuck for about 5 minutes this time! After that we went around shopping and what not until it was time for the Kiss Goodnight. It started and I could only stand there in awe, not taking photos or videos, just standing there. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, on behalf of everyone here at the Magic Kingdom, we thank you for joining us today for a magic gathering of family, friends, fun, and fantasy. We hope your magical journey with us has created wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. Walt Disney said that the Magic Kingdom is a world of imagination, hopes, and dreams. In this timeless land of enchantment, magic and make believe are reborn, and fairy tales come true. The Magic Kingdom is a place for the young and the young at heart. A special place where when you wish upon a star, your dreams can come true. Until we see you again, have a safe trip home. Thank you, and goodnight. It was the most amazing and the most magical experience of my life so far and was just unexplainable and amazing, the perfect way to end a perfect day! That day was amazing and would kill to do it again. At the US Space and Rocket Centre, they also had a S&S Space Shot as well as a Gravitron type ride called G-Force. They were amazing also. Disney World was truly one of the most magical experiences I've ever had and it's really amazing that such a small dream by one man could have such an Impact on the whole world. I hoped you enjoyed reading my trip report! I do have a roller coaster YouTube channel and will link that when I start posting. Bye for now -

Is it right near Thunder River? (I'm not 100% on the geography of Dreamworld) -
Joker looks like an interesting coaster, lots of elements in a small space. Not as big as some of the other Hybrid coaster's but still a very great addition to the park. It would be amazing to have a RMC Hybrid closer to home, however I don't think that is really going to happen in a couple of years, or maybe ever
