    I went up there in 2013, I think the park was all but closed. Memories are of a bloody long walk from the car park to the indoor mall bit, how much cooler it was (June), and on the way back down, the friends we were with saying "see that hole in the guard rail, that's where the bus driver committed suicide with passengers on board" 😬

    Great scott! (sorry, reminded me of Doc Brown 😂)

    Wasn't the new owner an investment company? If that's true, these are expenditure cuts to increase profits (probably explains the poor appearance of the park too)

    I can see the marketing now! "World's First Theme Park with two Purple/Fuscia/Pink coasters"

    I'm finding it interesting and a nice change from some of dribble on here. It's good to see a sensible debate on differing opinions on the matter. I've gotten much more discussion than I expected, my thanks to all. It could be. We've discussed the sail design as that's how @New display nameappears to have originally proposed it.

    Don't know, that's why I'm asking. The tower wasn't engineered for a sail. There are plenty of smart (ass?) people on here, hoping someone could confirm/deny. More asking out of curiosity, rather than "that's a terrible idea".

    Would that have caused any issues with loads on the tower, from say the wind?

    Those two statues look great. Was a really good update email. As a current passholder I'm keen to see how it all turns out.

    Attract customers. Limit supply to drive demand. Like how Aldi used to only carry limited quantities of items on specials days, till fair trading complaints rolled in.

    Barren. Is the track still on the hill section?
  11. red dragin
    Ring Racer. Never really operated, reportedly exploded once, also lots of dodgy deals and corruption with that entire precinct probably didn't help.

    It could be as simple as a second piece of track has been identified as needing replacement. And either Mack can't fit it into their schedule, or Movie World didn't want to pay extra to get it sooner.

    Email just sent out to passholders, will be replaced by the big Red plane, which is new. Really good update email actually.

    Finished their shift and getting in one last ride perhaps?

    The parks don't seem to be bothered by the slow throughput. Less wear and tear on their machinery, less power consumed. And the punters still cough up their money. I doubt anything will change.

    What's the text next to the map of Europe, above the main text? Appears to highlight France.

    And when you lend out your name to a third party operator, this is a risk you take on.

    Looking at the lights on TPR video, the section to add/remove cars is after the sharp flat turns then first dip, of the wild mouse section, am I correct?

    Rename the forum "Karenz"? "I demand to speak to your maintenance supervisor!"

    The highest wind gust taken from the seaway tower in the morning was 13 knots. At 2.98m AHD - http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDQ60801/IDQ60801.94580.shtml Good chance readings are very different along the shoreline between 3 & 42m, especially when the convection driven sea breeze kicks in.

    Is your boat 42 metres tall?

    The four lives lost in the TRRR tragedy.

    There's been comments on the exit walls by several reviews. Looking at the photos, they seem a little temporary? Like they don't match the floor (gaps etc) and the support frame is visible next to the photo viewing area. Almost like they were chucked in because they couldn't finish everything for opening, so focussed on the entry themeing and will (hopefully) come back and fix the exit as they can. What do those that have attended think of that theory?
  25. red dragin
    You could argue Dronkeys Flyers already was one. I'll see myself out.
