There were some floating around a while back, but I can't seem to find them now. Though the vids that were going around were pretty much just a black screen with a few lights coming into shot now and then, nothing to get all excited over. Best of luck with the search though, and welcome to the forums!

Rightie-o. Now I'm ganna close this, so it doesn't turn into a big this site V that site sorta thing. Night all

Superman is a licensed property, and there are some (if slight) issues with showing images. This is why we ask photos to be contributed. The added bonus is that it keeps things better organized, and the author gets to have their photos’ seen by more people.

The Dreamworld forum has been quieter since the DW fan boys left. Nice observation!

I doubt it. Most rides you can buy are sold "as is", and often need extensive work to be done to them. Just look at the parachute drop (forget what it got called when it was at Wonderland... Sky something?), that thing was/is a real write off. Its still not working on the Gold Coast, and with the amount the owners have spent on it they could've bought a new one.

Those with the cash get in quick, SW is selling its current crop of Ski boats for a mere $26,000 each. First in first served as there's only 3, and come "as is" (moter, ski poles etc.).

Well, he is right on one thing, the ride is all of 14meters high, so exactly how they found themselves 30meters in the are is a mystery.

Whats the go with Western Sydney? You'd think the writing might be on the wall from that small snippet. Still, hopefully the worst that'll happen is it'll be re-located somewhere else. The same thing happened to Paradise Country when the previous owners wanted to sell the land.

wow, I'm speechless that someone believed it. Well done.

Are you still working on it Scott?

I'm sad to see Double Screamer go, but I think it’s had its time. Its an old slide, and is in an unfortunate spot as it blocks in the kids area, which really needs the expansion. The other thing is user controlled rides are more dangerous then those where you have little say in where the tube/board/mat goes. You can't trust people to not injure themselves. I know of a few accidents on waterslides, and all of them come down to someone doing the wrong thing. It’s amazing how if people are told to lean forward, someone will lean backwards just too see what happens (and how much it hurts). Same with telling people to cross they're legs over (Screw that! I'm going to keep them wide apart and see why they have that rule!), people will just do stupid things. That’s why the trend is to build slides where its not as user controlled, and thus safer. I don't this is a bad thing though. Look at Terror Canyon, that thing is down right scary when it gets some speed up. I think the new thrill slides that will be introduced in the mid term should be ample replacement for Double Screamer. I do agree on one point though, the great thing about Double Screamer is it was a one or two person slide, and WnW could do with slides that a single rider (or a group of 3 for that matter) could enjoy without making someone wait or go twice.

Lol, and I was going to do either a mine theme, jungle theme or beach/pirate theme.

Interesting that the same people who did WWF also did Cyclone's queue. BTW, Scott, really love that sig mate

Hang on, you mean 20th or 30th?

Guys its not that hard to understand, if you buy your admission, then decide later in the day that you want to buy a Max Action pass, they take the days admission of the price of the pass. So you pay $60, then rather then paying $165, you pay $105, understand????

To be fair, yesterday was busy everywhere, on account of the long weekend and because it was only a one off day, the parks weren't staffed for like during the holidays. We coped pretty well at SW, but it was a real hard slog yesterday getting everything moving along quickly.

So is Corkscrew and SW's skyway (when they were with Arrow of course).

Nope, its all yours!

Plus the expansions suck My hard drive got wiped, and I gave the CD to someone which means I may be without the game for a bit. So if someone wants to go first then I'll chip in soon.

Who has first turn?

Well if other members do, I will too. So anyone going?

lisalila welcome to the forums, take a look around if your wanting more information on what the new ride will be. I'll sum it up quickly, look at the link that Skipper provided, and imagine that ride with a Scooby Doo style dark ride section, and you've pretty much got Superman.

Haven't heard, though I seem to recall "Kokomo" as the name they give to the over flow carpark next to Mammoth Falls, so perhaps there. Not gospel but a theory none the less

I'm pretty sure the term 'Ekka' came as slang for 'Exhibition' and sort of got taken on the official name over time. I could be wrong though.

There's alot happening at Wet 'n' Wild over the winter, just try and get your head around all these: Interesting to see no Whirlpool Springs, which was responsible for a big boost to attendance over last winter, and Mammoth Plunge is closing in preparation for its long awaited move across the Coast. Nice to see a some compensation for guests this winter with the temporary kid's area, should be well worth a look.
