  1. I really have to disagree. You can tell from the car park, the majority of people going to the parks plan this day and get the before, on or just after opening. Opening the ride times up to people to plan a family day just doesn't work since if you're leaving from Brisbane, you're leaving before the park is even open. Yes I concede that for GC locals and possibly Logan it would work but if you're a park regular, you can make some pretty safe assumptions on ride wait times. If you're not a park regular more than likely your trip to the parks will be a full day outing and you plan to get there at opening. Also the virtual queue, yes its super super clunky but its never not worked for me. Even the extreme 5 hour wait time suggestion thing I've only seen when its busy and everyone else has taken the virtual queue spots (and the park was open after 5pm). @cthulhus_lawyer you may not know this but VQ is only available on some rides and VQ pauses when the ride has a stoppage. If the VQ exceeds the park closing time, it stops accepting bookings and anyone booked in better hope there is no stoppages or they lose their spot.
  2. I love your insights and little stories
  3. Fee is probably likely. I'm assuming they will show a different film for the Summer and Winter holidays each year.
  4. Us Greater Brisbane people can re-attend from 6pm tonight though.
  5. I actually think with some negotiation with the Studio, there could be even more space if required. Even if just for the quieter elements like Sub station, maintenance shed or even the station (can be easily sound blocked), or possibly a 'tunnel' built into the ride.
  6. If people don't know London like me, the red star is Heathrow Airport, London in the center and The London Resort will be somewhere near the marker in Swanscombe. Heathrow is roughly 30km from London, and Swanscombe is another 30km from London. Google says from Heathrow its a 1 hour drive or 3 hours by public transport. From London its a 45min drive or 50min by public transport. Obviously times may vary with the exact location and possible future public transport infrastructure.
  7. My kid LOVED the FMX show. It was short enough to keep his attention, there was shade around, you're super close, and the host was entertaining. No real preshow apart from music but with 4 shows a day and enough space to view, we kinda just walked up when we wanted to watch and didn't need to wait it out.
  8. The ride is designed to fall so if it breaks from lack of maintenance it still operates as intended.
  9. Throwing ideal, but not likely random dates out cause I can, and assuming they follow the 2021 announcement and no delays (haha)... Q2 2021 Announcement Q3-4 2021 Deconstruction (scrap) Q1 2022 Build commence Q4 2022 Completion
  10. Also I remember reading somewhere they were planning a move away from superhero rides for a bit?
  11. No... the film will be good marketing for the ride. Films can spend as much as the ride cost on marketing. VRTP will be lucky to announce a ride let alone market it.
  12. Work being done on it now. Car has moved off the section. Testing cycles being run now
  13. I just got here and it looks like an estop. A car is stopped on a block break. Maybe not. Harness's are still locked.
  14. I'm there wednesday so if no update by then AND if I remember, I will
  15. Is that this one? https://www.reddit.com/r/rollercoasters/comments/kj3mys/big_apple_coaster_ny_ny_went_to_the_big_apple/
  16. Assuming @HussRainbow87will know or have a solid idea.. What does it take to change the cycle When its changed will VRTP need to run test cycles (ie, best to make new cycles during maintenance period) Are they able to have a number of presets and run each one depending on the parks attendance Whats the logic and computer systems like behind this? will it have problems later on not allowing such changes or is Huss pretty decent with keeping systems updated
  17. Not to mention usually pick up people shedding the virus, so someone whos long past the infectious stage.
  18. Do we have a height requirement for the vortex yet? Not sure if my little one will make it?
  19. Maybe it is, and the coaster is the "wild ride" you have in the room. Also accurate you leave 2 minutes later.
  20. SCHOOLS OUT RULES OUT DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO
  21. Running smooth and pretty quick operations today. Only the 1 train but queue was quite short anyway.
