If it had gaps to climb out of or an internal emergency release button - it would negate the only plausible reason they are enclosing it - the account got any possible amount of stupidity (except for their own in this decision of course)

They’ve literally built a replacement volcano for the BT one they ripped down... wonder if they’ll connect the gas line this time?

They spend god know how much on what appears to just be a theming element? Insanity!

You used your and you’re in the wrong places.. but anyways.. comments like this totally shit me. if someone criticises a parks decision, responding with “go run your own park” is a total assclown response. We are allowed to be critical. Encasing a flume is a ridiculous idea. If a log becomes stuck in a dangerous spot, or in a worst case scenario is inundated or flipped, there is no escape route.

Well that will make for awesome photos on the splash down...

You can see the final screen from the unload platform. They know. They just aren’t fussed as the park up the road doesn’t even have rides running and there is 5,000 schoolies here lining up for DCR.

JL is a complete disaster experience today... 90% of the ride had zero audio guns scoring but for the most part not turning the lights off when you hit the spores 3d animations very stuttery Projection on the smoke screen so faint it couldn’t be made out Final door before final screen stuck open Final screen not functional at all

Seems ridiculous to even mention it at all, given the info was vague and it’s not happening for the holiday period. Next thing RHLR will get delayed. Total cycle of disappointment. The least they can do is at least bring back something like the fire show from last summer as some sort of excitement for bring people in

So 2 week ago when Craig fronted the media and announced this new Trolls attraction (yes I know he didn’t name the license) would be open for the school holidays - he did so without having a pre-approval for the design concept from Dreamworks? Im hoping your info is rubbish - or else you can’t just add that to another stupid decision by DW. As for the floating cage going down the river - I’m calling complete rubbish on that one. Had a similar so-called redundancy existed on TRR we would have had 6 casualties. Sounds entirely ridiculous

Not part of TRR. Theyve been in the area outside the mine ride for years, they were under the awning just behind where they are now

Well based on being in the park and it not operating - it is.

Nope - closed again

No idea why DW doesn’t utilise it’s benefit of not be encumbered by strict evening noise restrictions... I’m going along to a private hire event tomorrow night at DW - nearly all rides open at the park until 11:30pm! why not utilise the late opening in the summer school holidays to drive some business in?? Every Friday/Saturday for instance

AMF felt by increasing the amount of video game machines in their centres it would provide the added entertainment required to differentiate from the traditional bowling alleys of old, and appeal to the young generation. That and the investment in m9 laser, but again, outside of school holidays and parties, it has no real regular patronage

The problem is bowling just isn’t as appealing as it used to be due to the influx alternate offerings. Outside of kids birthday parties and school holidays, the centres are dead. League bowling has been on the wane for many years, largely as AMF lane conditions and machining wasn’t well accepted by TBA and league groups - as AMF maintained lanes largely for leisure purposes, pushing away leaguers. Ardent didn’t seem to know who it wanted to focus on, and it left centres stuck in the abyss of not being able to cater for consistent income (leagues) in favour of leisure bookings which were sporadic.

That’s what my house looks like AFTER I’m finished decorating

No. That ride probably costs more than DWs currrent net worth and i dont think they’re racing to install rides involving rafts and water....

I enjoy WC! Haha. Well I guess I enjoy it as my son does! It’s certainly better than Carnivale in its 2017 incarnation at SW!

Sounds like a bit of a mystery... maybe a job for...

Naa... his name is Bill Skasgard, not Ash..

As long as it’s not torrential like it was on the FN’s I visited I’d probably agree. That night, it was just painful

It’s even more obvious they have a SBNO attraction now. In the past non-enthusiast/first time visitors would have had no clue an old ride resided in that mountain, it’s not like the tracks in the open areas were THAT noticable unless you were looking for them.

When it comes to water parks... Shade & seating > theming

If it’s part of a realignment and focus on their brand, then who cares?? 2 theme parks - 1 gate - 1 social media account not a terribly hard concept to wrap your head around

I don’t know, maybe you should send them a FB message and ask them...
