Aw hype

Bearing in Mind this was a year ago when I was there, I remember Dreamworld and WWW shutting lines at park close, (1700+line length) and MW shutting lines to get out at park close (1800-line length). In an Ideal world both parks would be open later, but that is obviously unsustainable.

LSM conversion wouldn't be too hard. New trains, have the lsm's go vertical on the top hat (which they can do now) solves the issue about launch track distance. However, IMO they should just recognise its at EOL and replace rather than flog the horse.

At least they put a bit of effort in and painted it go away green

How do you justify shutting down the pool at a waterpark?

Damn...Didn't even realise they were adding another one! The Public transport is so good in Singapore that you can just about get anywhere. In saying that, if you have kids, it would be very convenient to just stay at mandai.

We went recently. USS was spectacularly busy, but we still felt we got it all done quite easily in a day. The Bird Park and River Wonders are both half day ventures. The zoo you can stretch out to a whole day if you really wanted to, and the night safari is self explanatory. Both Waterparks are pretty shit and a half day each at most. Honestly, there is so much to do in Singapore. Amazing place.

Would be silly (too risky) to announce anything before a DA is approved, manufacturer booked and construction tendered. Look at the Scooby do shaped egg On MW's face. Been waiting on Next Gen for waaaayyyy too long now.

Pretty rare these parks get a DA through to the keeper without someone on here coming across it...or any park in australia really.

You can't reasonably have a grievance against the parks reducing their hours over Winter. It's a common sense business move. It Must just be because of the lack of competition making WnW stay open over Winter - similar to Maccas being 24 Hours but Hj's not. They cant be making money over there. All that being said, I'd rather be, as a consumer, at the 'experience is good and I feel Valued for 90 Minutes less' Place than the 'It's open longer, circa 40% of the rides are down at a given time, we wait in line more and get treated considerably worse' one. Lesser of two evils, but I'd rather of less of the good than more of the shit.

Actively Shitting on guest experience and dramatically overspending on copy and paste rides. That's burning both ends of the stick Imo. So yes.

Common Polin Slide issue. Never seems to be enough water pressure. Polin slides age like milk and are built of straw (https://www.cockburnarc.com.au/Play/Waterslides) Hopefully parks will give up cheaping out by going with them.

I was thinking yesterday that this is the smartest thing they could do. Bounty's was like our wipeout. This will market very well over here.

It's almost as If they've just done the minimum requirement so as to not piss off whoever licensed them the IP. It's aesthetically pleasing and looks well done regarding the IP applications, then just screw you to guest experience. Someone mentioned the other day seeing village execs line cut opening morning. The arrogance to do that in front of paying guests, not to mention the stupidity of not having those things done behind closed doors (every park ever seems to let employees have rides before these things open) is unfortunately completely in character for the Current VRTP. Maybe the $100m figure is a total investment between Flash, Oz and SDSC, and they've tried to white lie their way into a headline? I'd hate to see how the colours in the area will hold up over the years in that harsh sun as the management decide gold-plate their office chairs instead of repainting. I really hope this tips the scales back in DW favour.

Beat me to it. Had the exact same thought today, and was going to ask if this is normal. Hopefully they're just running maintenance on it now to have both sides up and ready for the Holidays.
