Is this your first day on the internet? -

He mostly just stops in when someone calls him out -
FOR Spongebob? Yes I feel like this is blasphemy but i've never even been on a wacky worm or a boating school 😮

Best part about being 6'2 and 55kg is that I can easily be folded in half to fit on most human sized rides.

Technically I possibly waited about that long or more for Rivals on it's first day of technical rehearsals. It was such an exciting time and the mob of people made it entertaining so I barely noticed we were waiting there most of the day. I'll only do stupid wait times like that for something that's really worth it, like Rivals or Flight of Passage

What has the state of our parks become when there's fanfare over the reopening of a set of stairs? 😂 -

Not gonna lie. I'd love to catch up with you and i've stated that in the past. I'm sure i'm not the only one, as sometimes you're a cool person to talk to even if we don't agree, such as, I'm still not too happy about your initial opinions on COVID. I'm fully aware people can change though as I'm quite close friends with some of the very people on this forum that I used to massively butt heads with. I would just like to remind you that I was blocked from your Facebook account at some point so that may make our planned "lunch date" a bit harder to schedule. We were friends on Facebook pre 2020 strangely enough. On the not having a million followers, that generally just means I don't have to be as careful with that I say due to not being a public figure but i'm sure you're all over that by now as you've been in the public for a while now. Trust me, you don't want to go there... Anyway, Let's put crap aside and have lunch like big boys sometime? Is the food at Dockside still good? -
Granted, about 2.5-3 hours of that was queued in the actual park because the attraction was overflowed to hell. I also only now realise the ride had only been open 5 months so a 5 hour wait probably wasn't too bad. Once I got inside the actual queue for the ride and not the overflow, it felt like it went quick because it was so detailed and immersive. Even with standing in line for hours, I still didn't get to take in all of the detail in the queues.

Meanwhile I'm the idiot who waited 5.5 hours for Flight of Passage at Animal Kingdom

Let's hope it's some form of Wet'n'Wild master plan as that could really use one. MW would use some love in various places but If he's hinting at more work on MW then I'd dare say this will be a whole new precinct that has a large scope, like Atlantis does. Also I doubt HP rights are going anywhere as Universal are currently building their 4rd Orlando gate that will have further HP related areas in it so they would want to keep it pretty locked to their parks. -
Let's be real here. The actual advantage to having 3 trains is that when you have to cannibalise one train to fix another in 5-10 years time, you still have a spare train... unlike the Lethal Weapon/Arkham situation
-
When you're already spending millions on a coaster, surely an extra train wouldn't blow the cost out that much.

The rivals maintenance bay is great for storing a train and doing quick things but whole tear downs and more in-depth work would need to be done in a bigger shed
-
the superman maintenance bay is a huge inpark bay that they can just put coaster trains in to work on them. Saves having to shift them to the back end of the park to a maintenance shed somewhere
-
If they replaced the Mach 5 with a single slide, it would probably piss a lot of people off unless it is decent or has a good capacity. Village seemed to have recently found where the dropped ball rolled off too when planning future additions to the parks so time will tell.

There's also a whole ass log flume still decaying somewhere

Yeah, it's not like the coaster was built and sitting in Germany until they found a new park to buy it. A lot of the layout is similar because it only required slight changes to fit in the DW plot. A little redesign is cheaper and easier than having to start over from scratch. Asian park had a design and a manufacturing spot lined up with Mack and suddenly couldn't pay for it. When you go to a company asking for a coaster and they offer one in half the time at a reduced price because someone else already did all the R&D plus deposits. You'd be crazy not to. Without blowing smoke up Greg Yongs ass, his previous relationship with Mack and theme park experience would have helped secure this too.

If you haven't got your next attraction in planning by now then you're not giving much confidence of being the new boss. I'd say they finally have more of a master plan they can stick to and not change every 2 weeks.
