Movieworld Update, 19th September
It's actually likely because they are off the shelf TVs that they break so often. Household goods aren't supposed to run like that. Look up online the differences between a house hold TV vs Commercial TV / Display board. TLDW; Higher quality, designed for always on operation, cooling, simple/barebones OS

DC Rivals HyperCoaster train stuck mid-course
How many NI Loops have Mack had to complete a pull through on? I lost count after 1. specifically, this time. Additionally, its all well and good Mack providing instructions, the crew on the ground need to be the ones who complete it, and they may not have been able to follow the steps/advice provided by Mack. There are 3 parties involved in this.

Wouldn't the LSMs operate as brakes also since they are...magnets.. But yeah replacing the track to fit the fins makes sense.

Some simple math on that (more variations 100% at play but lets roll with it) TTD - 193km/h in 3 seconds - 1.82g TTD - 193km/h in 3.8 seconds (seen this reported) - 1.437g TTD - 193km/h in 4 seconds (seen this reported) - 1.365g Xcellerator - 132km/h in 2.3 seconds (37% slower top speed, 26% quicker time) - 1.623g MaxxForce - 125km/h in 2 seconds (42% slower top speed, 33% quicker time) - 1.768g Superman - 100km/h in 2 seconds (63% slower top speed, 33% quicker time) - 1.414g For additional reference to your Air Launch comment: Do-dodopa is 0-180km/h in 1.6 seconds - 3.2g (since 2017) Do-dodopa is 0-172km/h in 1.8 seconds - 2.7g (pre-2017)

Funny, from my research online, TTD and Xcelerator offer the same launch G-Force Additionally, this claims airpowered launch has the highest G-Force out of all launch coasters, so I wonder if a little subjective reality is at play here? Potentially seating arrangements and forced perspective guiding your opinion. Only hydraulic launch I've been on is superman but I have been on Do-dodonpa and yeah its bloody forceful.

Dad sues Dreamworld after son falls from stationary attraction
Honestly, my parenting style is assess the situation and determine risk. If my kid has a fall, well shit thats on me, and he usually gets an ice cream (or strawberries/mango cause he thinks they are better??). I do this regardless if its playground equipment, a tree or whatever, its my job as the parent to make sure my kid is safe. Dreamworlds (and any amusement park or company) job is to make sure my kid is safe in situations that I can't control (like operating a ride) or situations that come with an assumption of safety (like walking on a flat obvious path). The world shouldn't be rubber mats and rounded edges. Take responsibility and create boundaries. Peer pressure is not an acceptable excuse.

Nah just flat out.

To me it reads like they are keeping the structure and changing elements of the ride. Potentially track extension and or ride systems upgrade.

"Significant" new attractions to be announced at Dreamworld
How long do Flats normally last? DD is 6 years now. Edit: Also how many Twin Hammers are there globally? Intamins site only lists 2, MW and one in Malaysia.

Sure, but we already have the Twin Hammer now. If they put the gyro in instead of the Twin Hammer it makes sense, but not to replace the Twin Hammer.

Four people stuck on Scooby-Doo roller-coaster at Movie World - ABC News
Why has no one quoted this part yet from the article? Lillian Rangiah (and staff) must have a low thrill level tolerance.

Spring County Fair 2022 - Dreamworld
They didn't have to get a license for it so no need for a press release

Not even open yet and I'd probably rate it above the new boomerangs coming to MW

Traveling fairs!
I think Bertie Beetle is a loss leader product now. Bring people in and they buy all this other crap at the stall.

Ardent secures Major Amusement Park Licences
In that case I hope Ardent continues and publishes a Press Release every time they get a license. Would love to hear about renewing their liquor license.

Ardent secures Major Amusement Park Licences
So apart from having a shiny MAP badge, what does this even mean? And does VRTP/Aussie World have similar? Are these a requirement for operation? This press release give very little info.

If talking about incidents, El Toro also recently closed due to an incident injuring 14. Intamin ride, but built by RMC.

I've said this before but I really enjoy GL, purely for how slow it goes through the elements and just lets you hang. As an aside, the easiest way to not be compared to Rivals, get an Aussie first is get a 'gimmick' coaster, like Flying, Wing, Stand Up, Free Spin, 4D, Dive ect. Hybrid, although cool, won't work. To us the difference is massive, to the GP, its not as noticeable, or easy to market.
