  1. I agree, to an extent. The queue is part of the experience, however; A great queue followed by an average ride = average attraction An average queue followed by a great ride = great attraction They only have a certain budget to play with and I think that is best spent on the ride itself. Think Space Mountain, Big Thunder, Valhalla, Silver Star, the queues are rubbish - but when you get off, the time spent in the queue is forgotten if the ride lives up to the expectation.

  3. I wasn't expecting them to be included in the entrance price? Warner seem to be focusing on up-charge this year. Good move.
  4. The negativity in this thread is pretty sad. It's one seat. Let's see what the ride is like first.
  5. I don't thin the space in the middle of the ride is an issue - you want to be able to shoot the other boats without scenery getting in the way. That's the whole idea of the attraction. These rides are a ton of fun.
  6. Like I said, around 15ft from the top brakes. I don't know about the structure, I was in WWW all day.
  7. Ride was testing for most of the day, consistently hitting a respectable height on the tower. 15ft or so away from the top brakes.
  8. Apologies it's not great but I was trying to take a shot of the car until the tree got in the way!
  9. ^ I'm pretty sure they didn't sell that land. It'd be a stupid decision based on the route of the train. Rick.
  10. Was the photo call today - no public riding. Pics - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2377...75843&saved Rick.
  11. Indeed. Here are some pics from today - http://www.rickupsidedown.com/?page_id=489 Rick.
  12. Also worth mentioning that Dreamworld are advertising Screamworld as the chance to take your first ride on TOT2.
  13. Yes - was really sure what to make of that!
  14. I agree - it is quieter in the tunnel - and to be honest I thought it was a little quieter on the Tower? I'm interested to see how the OTSRs affect the floating feeling on the tower.
  15. Hmm, perhaps a higher. I was watching from near the 'fire station' so the view of the tower was obscured some what. Definitely higher than 'normal' - but not on every shot. One of the later launches wasn't far from the top brake section, maybe 15ft from there. Perhaps some photos if testing tomorrow. I can hear it from our pool so will head over if I hear it.
