    Random thought - I think most of us scoffed a little when we found out that the additional bracing into the car park on DC Rivals was necessary for Cyclone rating, to get approval, but here we are.

    Cancelled at 5pm, not returning.

    Meanwhile Green Day still hasn't been cancelled for tomorrow night (Officially)

    So the ride is themed to an ancient temple right? So, the now lost to time ancient society set up a temple and it was their place of worship/power. Having a big ass gem outside makes sense. Could be bragging of wealth, power or it could be an important religious symbol to that society. I don't think Jane and Murray are meant to be responsible for the gem.

    Ignoring the neighbours and their complaints

    Is it safety driven, or is it keeping the throughput lower to use the equipment less, reducing general maintenance and power costs? In my opinion, the White Christmas example above shows they can go faster, and it's not 'safety', that was purely about guest experience and reducing complaints about people missing out on rides due to the short time window of the event. And if they were so concerned about safety, they wouldn't have the background music on FOTWW so loud you can't hear the ride ops shouting instructions at you.

    Given the end date lines up with Supermans, and it was "unscheduled maintenance", perhaps is it something on Superman that requires access from the Batwing side? The Flash is in a similar boat. Hence why they were able to give a few days warning?

    Does the $100m include a $50m yacht called "Wizard of Oz" perhaps.

    Couldn't remember what was there before this ride, so went back to the start of the construction thread on it. Full of predictions of hypercoasters, removal of the western show building etc. What we got lasted ~8 years and was as far from those as possible 😂
  10. red dragin
    Such a positive section of the thread derailed by pedantry as usual. "but why won't the parks engage with us directly".

    When the Vintage Cars alone looks exciting to ride, the coaster must be great. Once those trees grow out a bit more, people will completely forget where they are for a moment.

    https://www.facebook.com/share/r/19qqYRAiq8/ Needs to be some hats eaten amongst the Parkz doubters.

    Confirmed : Tesla Supercharger compatibility! (/s if not obvious)

    I took my kids today, and yeah, heaps was closed. Looked at rivals about 1pm, single rider queue was 30+ people. Not surprised when dispatch times where ~6 minutes per cycle. Junior driving school was thankfully a walk on 😂

    The only testing we've been shown was moving a train very slowly into the station. I highly doubt it's done a full circuit yet.

    ^ Much longer than what Brisbane news showed.
  17. red dragin
    Channel 7 news had a short segment on the plane being carried through the park and placed - appears to have a lattice structure similar to a tower crane inside it to keep it sturdy. It's not on their Facebook at time of posting.

    Seems decent progress is being made. Up till now it's felt like they just shelved it whilst they were spending money on the Wizard of Oz precinct.

    A seven day a week opening park would also make removal of the ride challenging, isn't it kinda land locked? Large components would have to be trucked in and out at night I'd assume.

    Currently it's now "don't miss out riding your old favourite this summer", rather than beating to death Jungle Rush for months, making people sick of it. There was heaps of backlash to closing rides with no notice, so they're addressing that too. Between the two they've got a good mix of marketing for the summer holiday period.

    It was the not subtle dig at themselves (well Greg's predecessor) about replacing an iconic ride with more seating areas that I loved. And then the "All Purpose Turbine" in that press release document 😂.
  22. red dragin
    Ah, I thought it was a direct replacement 👍
  23. red dragin
    Didn't they have a shitty early 2000's level graphics one a few years back?
  24. red dragin
    Well that just saved weeks of speculation.
  25. red dragin
    But Parkz user base has constantly criticised the media for bringing the event up at every opportunity. Eight years on and we're (some of us) supporting when the competition stoops to the same level? My opinion, stand up for your business, but do it with some standards, don't fall to the level of the clickbait media.
