Now wouldn’t that be something!

I personally feel Wizard is one of those unique IPs that transcend generations. If you have kids above 8 years old that don’t know Wizard of Oz you’re failing at parenting… (maybe not, but you get my point). now if only they theme one of the attractions to the often-forgotten, critically-panned but fantastic sequel Return to Oz, I’d be impressed beyond words. Jack Pumpkinhead’s Great Adventure! The Gump Takes Flight!

That’s more of a hindrance than a positive.

If the theme is WoO as it appears, it marks a definitive change from the origin plans which clearly showed it being DC related, so maybe the actual plans regarding model/s of rides may have shifted too. Guess we’ll find out soon

Yeh I am aware of that and have seen plenty of the cycles over time. But for instance the hanging strip lights that are in front of you immediately after the turntable room, they are usually all on regardless of the cycle - only 2 or 3 were on. if it was indeed a cycle I saw, then it’s a failure by management to accept a room with only a couple of lights in the whole thing as an acceptable “cycle”.

Wasn’t open today

What a disaster this park has become Superman - water scene not working Scooby - screens in lift not working - turntable room zero lighting or sound - lights in disco room about 20% working - no ride photos Justice League - Audio sync completely out of time with screens in loading area - 8 out of 10 physical targets not responding to being shot (no score, no vibration feedback and light doesn’t turn off) - 4 of the 5 screen scenes no image/projectors not working - no fog curtain or associated audio - as entering the spaceship scene the scores reset to zero, and the guns no longer emitted a laser for remainder of ride - no screen or Audio in final scene/photo - no ride photos - 2 ride vehicles on the track cycling roped off and not in use the ride seriously should not be operational. It’s literally pathetic. only positive of the day was my 9 year old having his first ever ride on Superman. He loved it, went to get the ride photo at the photo booth near park entry to commemorate the occasion as the kiosks were glitching out. Guy in the row in front of us had flipped the bird at the camera so we were told we’re unable to get the photo as they can’t give photos out if people are being rude… Asked if they could crop the photo to remove the moron, nope. No photo. FFS!!!

You won’t get a large scale coaster in either of those 2 locations. one is too close to the studios, the other too close to neighbouring housing.

Whilst I’m no expert in the field, the higher up sound emanates from the further the noise carries due to generally more “free air” for it to carry undisrupted. The lower to the ground, the more barriers or obstructions to dampen/dissipate sound as if travels (trees, fences, buildings etc) that all could be complete bullshit I have created in my head, but it’s my understanding of it.

It’s becoming a pattern with you that if anyone disagrees with a suggestion you make, or provides realistic reasons why something isn’t possible, you get all butt hurt. none of the responses to you were anything other than “chill”.

Fair enough. If you classify a racing coaster as 2 separate coasters then sure, it’s 3 I’m getting old, what can I say. I guess I’m my head duelling coasters are 1 attraction, but yes, 2 slightly different experiences. 3 it is.

It’s two new coasters, not three. Not sure where this suggestion of 3 new coasters came from

That would indicate a strong change from the original plans

First I’ve heard of it but sounds coherent with the haphazard and confusing theming all over the park

Hahaha no one questioned your ethics or morals mate. Put some big boy pants on and don’t act like a victim 🙂 I asked you a question, you were welcome to disagree with me (as others have here) and keep your post up. No one demanded you remove it, but you chose to (and then thank me for asking you the question). post it back up. Private messages to Park management are fine to share online as I’ve found out today.

I don’t have an issue with the info he received being disseminated to others in the way the post has now been edited to be. “I was told this and that” etc. From a moral perspective though, actually posting a screenshot of a private conversation into a public forum in my opinion is just a little too grey in ethics.

I hate to be the person to ask… but i’d assume you sought and have been given permission to publicly post someone’s private message/DM’s onto a public page?

Wait until we get all the knockoff Mickey Mouse and Co characters at all the cheap theme parks when Disney loses the exclusive rights to the characters in 3 years due to Californian intellectual property law In other news, I’m not sure about Dreamworld’s recent EDM that went out today…. subject line a little strange

As of yesterday, it is now the Tower Of Terr

But a supply and demand increase isn’t a credible pricing policy if half of the dispatches are going out with those seats filled. the best way to sell those seats, is from positive word of mouth. If less people are riding because you’ve upped the price, that’s less people to talk it up. If as a rider I’m seeing the backwards line empty or short, I’m also questioning whether the experience is worth the coin if people are not paying to do it. it’s a viscous cycle that isn’t benefitting the park imo…

At $30 it wouldn’t even be a consideration for me. it’s a cash grab At $20 it was already a very questionable decision. Imo it should be $10 off peak, and $20 during holidays, or $30 for both seats

From a Safety standpoint you don’t want to be seen to be incentivising staff to dispatch trains faster. from a management perspective, you shouldn't be incentivising staff to do what is their job already - they get paid for that. Have the staffing, operations, training and expectations in place and incentives aren’t necessary

Driving past the park at 5:15am this morning, there was work occurring on the tower. It was still dark apart from sparks. If I had I to have a guess I’d assume something to do with the removal of the ToT lettering given they were on the west bound side facing the M1 and about at the height of the bottom letter

Certainly more roomy than the old trains

actually found that pretty cool to watch. no idea who he is or aware of his regular content etc, but i thought it was produced really well. As someone who loves rides and coasters, it can sometimes be hard to fathom how genuinely scared some people are of them.
