^ see, now that's the type of ridiculous comment that media get a hold of an write a story about. Cyclone isn't the smoothest ride, but No-one without a serious pre-existing back complain/strain/issue is gonna get off it and not be able to walk. What a ludicrous statement.

Cheers buddy... I didn't know that... I have a mate who's great grandmother is 101, don't mean everyone's gonna make it that long..

Wow... So..Thunderbolt closed as it had been in operation for 21 years and had reached the point of no return. Cyclone is certainly not 'boring', well certainly no moreso than Thunderbolt. As for bumpy, is Thunderbolt was still running as you imply would be your preference, at over 33 years of age I'd say you'd need a hip replacement from the bumps after each ride.

That promo ran for about 4 weeks, it's not a regular part of a World Pass. If I bought one 6,9,12,24 months ago, or today, I don't get that benefit.

'Good' is a fairly ambiguous description to use, as it varies between people.

VIP pass is getting you 3 parks, and after hours events. World pass doesn't give u Screamworld access. Both are well under-valued, especially the VIP pass, but they have set the tone in the past 5 years which means a marked increase wouldn't be accepted by the market. 8 years ago when I moved to the GC, the VIP passes were $220 and that was before the night events existed. I happily paid it, and still would. I personally think they could raise to $120 and $150 for VIP gold and avoid a large decline in uptake if they installed the buy 3 get 1 free permanently

^cool story. I went to Dreamworld (and Woolworths, IGA and BWS). And ate pizza.

Doubt they are going to invest significant capital into fixing an element which doesn't effect ride experience

Also noted on the footer of their email that they are having 'Screamworld Ride & Slide' nights on friday nights in January. Great initiative after what was an enjoyable Night Water World last season

Yeh 30mins tops if they are running efficiently.

Let's go with a big, massive No. Won't be allowed, don't bother trying.

First weekend of the school holidays so if the weather is nice it'll be busy. Whichever park interests you the most, do on the Friday as that will be the quieter of the 3 days you are there Currumbin, or save your money and go to Coroboree at DW

Still don't understand the event dates post Xmas. Just such a weird decision for mine. No Arkham for White Xmas is disappointing. Still looking forward to the event

Well given that TV, Wipeout & TS are completed, this thread is off topic already so may as well continue that way...

That's not necessarily true Yoshi.

Yeh no idea about the specifics but someone here would surely know. I've seen it run empty in the mornings and test cycles after a stoppage. Maybe it's more weight distribution being even?

Whilst i cant remember the number, i too have had to 'wait' for a certain amount to passengers before the ride could disembark. Not sure if its potentially weather/wind dependent or what but it was mentioned at the time it was a weight related issue. This was a good 18 months - 2 years ago, so the details a little hazy

Not particularly relevant to this thread, but also not really worthy of its own. MW currently offering an in-season VIP Dining Pass. VIPs only pay $99 (adults) or $69 (kids) for unlimited access to Ricks Buffet through to 30 June 2015 Sounds like an amazing deal for those who go regularly, food is pretty good too!

Probably cos they want feedback, not a thesis.. Haha

The claimant believes his sore back was caused when the ride when 'whoosh' and his guts went 'smash'. If you managed to injure yourself on Buzzsaw I'm glad LW isn't still around. The smashing of your head may have injured your coccyx

I'm gonna go as far as saying you are the first person to ever be injured on Buzzsaw. More than likely you already had an underlying issue/strain/injury and the force of the ride may have put more pressure or strain on a muscle. Hence the Rider Advisory sign on the entrance

I can read English, but can't understand rubbish unfortunately, that's where I went wrong with your post... If the harness was loose enough to allow you to have physical separation between your lower abdomen and the harness (because your gut couldn't be smashing into it if it had contact the entire time) then I would suggest your Harness was not on tight enough.

Bummed I couldn't do the tour this year, just hope they keep a similar experience next year, in quality and without slamming too many people into each group given the popularity

No reason for anyone to complain about a 30min queue, especially if it was the only ride all day you had to wait for. Be happy FFS!! That feeling in your guts is not due to the coaster being rough, it's called speed & G force, and it's intentional. Why are people whinging that a Thrill ride makes you feel uneasy, when that is the entire point!

??? Do you want to reference Magicians post, as without it your post makes no sense or relevance.
