Sea World Carnivale 2020
Ah good to see they're not planning on taking advantage of when all those big spending tourists are in town. Bravo SW for missing the mark again 😃 EDIT Why is the map orientated so you're entering from the top and mentally have to flip everything around? Like I know pointing out how shit the maps are is beating a dead horse at this point because of the design they've gone with but what the actual..? Did someone at SW install the GPS in their car upside down and they think that's how maps work now? 2nd EDIT You know who might like going to Carnivale? SW resort guests. It's like 'Should we open the Monor''NOPE MONORAIL IS CLOSED EAT AT SHORELINE DON'T GO TO SEA WORLD WE'RE A RESORT COMPANY NOT A THEME PARK.'

What happened to the Sea World aquarium?
It shared the same filtration system with the Shark Encounter/Reef Discocery/Dugong Discovery next door. Don't know for sure but I'd guess that changes that they needed to make to the system for Penguin Encounter were incompatible with the aquarium, and it's Sea World so why would you put in effort to keep something open when you can just as easily close it. On the upside though, there is a toilet nearby if you need to do some flushing 🙂

I can't say I agree I fully agree with the ranking or the order, but I don't think Rivals is out of place on a list of the best 25 or 100 rides in the world. Even if you rank it right down at 100, I'd say that 100th out of 4700 is still quite a good result. As with all of these things though, it's all super subjective.

If that's truly the motivation then that is bonkers.

Movie World - The Next Few Years
If try it with a trackless bus or something first before you put rails down. My suspicion is that Main Street at MW is too narrow to run a ride up it most of the time.

Dreamworld November Update 2019
Seeing that has made me really excited for the track to be taken out. I forgot how much I hated the placement of ToT

The New Atlantis - Construction Updates
Nah you're supposed to keep it sparse with rides in inappropriate far flung places, and the rides should have really abstract themes.

WNW - GC upgrade ideas
Yeah I like how there's a few 'grown up' ones in there as well as family movies. Really eclectic mix, like they're throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. I'm just stoaked to see them doing something so positive TBH.

Yep, that's all about perfect.

I've heard rumbling to this effect. Bringing Dive in Movies back included in admission, with rides open after dark for the run of the school holidays (Not one week, not 2 weeks, but from boxing day till the weekend before school goes back. It's not a new slide, but if it happens, to me it would be a massive sign that the Tim & Bob short sighted decision making era is behind us and things are looking up.

Is Ardent about to be taken over????????????????
I've got about 1000 Ardent Shares at about what it's trading for now, figured that the new ride late next year will do a lot in bringing the place back. While I'm glad to be back on level pegging I was a bee's dick away from buying more at 90cents but it shot up before got down that far. Explains the mystery gains of the last week because no doubt word got out. Bugger, missed making a lazy $300 by a week and 1 or 2 cents. Don't think I'll be buying any more at $1.20, although I'm sure who ever bought in intends to make money at that price. Last I saw, Gary is in at $1.24 so that's 2 rich people who think they can make money here. It's also possible that someone has worked out that buying all of Ardent is cheaper than buying DW. As you can tell I have nothing insightful or interesting to add but am interested in the topic.

Your theme parks. The fuck does that even mean? Why is having the same nothing slogan on each parks website a good thing? Why is there such a crappy cheap ugle fence around the chopper? Also why not a branded helicopter? And in the current climate of OH&S overreach, why is the fire hydrant now in a fenced off area?

Dreamworld's Spooky Happy Halloween Nights
Wtf those lights?

Dreamworld's Spooky Happy Halloween Nights
Yeah interesting. Sounds like there's a lot of swings with mostly misses but a couple hits. At least there actually are some swings because they spent a long time not even trying. Hopefully next year we can forgo the stuff that didn't work like the gross fountain and the 'good on you for trying' pumpkin globe and build on the stuff that does. Also Murrisppi River surely?

Not to sound like a negative Nancy, but isn't a large part of the Carpark housing slide pieces at the moment?

Just the concept of Six Flags Cedar Point is enough to send a shiver up your spine. Crazy times that they made that offer. Spare a thought for Larson though who nearly sold like 12 more Loops.

I did too. Which is crazy because everything I say is pretty much spot on. Sure, might not always be in English but still spot on.
