Is DC Rivals simply easier to maintain due to age and design, or do they recognize it's a draw-card and only close it for as little as possible (with perhaps after hours maintenance as well)?

Facebook is a huge generator of customers. A group I'm involved with has been able to nearly triple its visitors on open days, by regular Facebook posts and posting to suitable Facebook groups. Nearly doubled our followers in 10 months.

Not ridden it recently, but when I do, first few rows only. Less violent at the front. Will ride a couple of times, but never in a row. Told you DC Rivals wasn't just talk

Rivals - it's not hype. It is that good. It's about the best fun I've had with pants on.

I think it was an attempt at wit.

He's a fun character, still identifiable and probably appeals a few people's secret desires

I've not ridden Soarin'. My 6 year old is a huge fan of the Dragons movies and shows (Riders of Berk etc). The dragons' maneuvers are sudden, forceful and numerous. They don't just cruise along in action sequences. Whilst the ride might be able to replicate the positions, I don't feel it could really replicate the motions of the dragons from the film. Plus, I think even trying to would induce a greater amount of motion sickness than they'd like. On top of all of that, it is a fixed life IP. You would be much better going with a film/films that don't require extensive supporting themeing too (this is Dreamworld).

Unless it can invert the carriage, do steep ascents and descents, I don't think it would do Dragon's justice.

@djrappa Thanks. Was just going off all the docos on accelerators, the peak energy requirements and the fact that tower of terror is not run anywhere near 160kmhr.

At the very least, remove the LIM and run a winch system like Superman. More reliable and much cheaper to run. Could also get the speed back up.

Our passes have expired, but we got a gift card this year instead of passes, so that we can get new ones once the rush dies down (and maybe a deal pops up)

"Dry side" @pushbutton ie Dreamworld, not dry slide.

That's logical assuming/thinking. Not bureaucratic thinking. I don't think those cages are for people standing, but for a log rolling over. Should be enough for it to not fully invert.

It may be less of a case of stupidity, and more of a case of bureaucracy of thinking those cages would have saved four lives had they been fitted.

Has the thought crossed anyone else's mind, that the extension of the closure of Wild West Falls is to fit similar "safety" cages?

It's a clear glass/polycarbonate wall, if you are looking for it, it is visible. Plus all the marine life have learnt not to crash into, so watch their movements.

^ not shaggy, Austin Powers

Interesting read. I always thought that the Arkham one was done in house, cause at one point to me Joker sounds like the staff actor that plays shaggy.

I was the opposite on Big Thunder Mountain. Not the wildest coaster out there, but the story line was great and obvious. The tunnel at each end was a nice touch, especially from a passer by perspective as the train charged out of the tunnel into the final brakes. The back was more wild as you suggested. It was still Space Mountain: Mission 2 on my two visits, I liked the dip before the launch and the launch itself. The rest was too dark too quickly to adjust too, and the brakes sucked, worse than Lethal Weapon. Except that time we shot through them into the emergency brakes. The primary ones where gentle on that run, the emergencies really sucked! Got bashed around like a Vekoma too. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril is nothing special. Watching the loop from the queue was a little unnerving as it moves quite a lot as a car goes through (or did back then 2008 & 2010). I'm interested to see your thoughts on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster & the Car show if you got the time to see it.

Santa's elf spreading Christmas magic?

Still lives in the same suburb in Melbourne he grew up in, and catches the tram regularly apparently.

Perhaps this was nature's attempt to make up for that 1%

In this particular case, a condom should have been used about 15 years ago

Problem solved, just find a suitable post to tie it to. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Portable-Car-Safe-Box-Car-Safe-Box-Security-Safe-Box-LY-ST004/1839249498.html

It stopped briefly for a quick wash once when I was waiting.
