i just want to ride rollercoasters in australia when it's dark outside of events.

Sure. Pretty sure it will be the southern hemispheres first trackless dark ride! Checks all the boxes.

This but Bluey

I managed to get 3 laps of Apollo once - front row - at dark. Some how the last two groups of the front row were 3’s. Perfect. Got a double ride on shammy too - In the back row. Ops were actively asking for people to re-ride .. maybe to make sure it was a fast cycle? Anyway in conclusion - allowing rerides should definitely happen more often on coasters here.

Just leave them on Gazza - you can just keep the rest of the train secure and unlock the rear car. Simples.

Is Jamberoo a theme park?

Unsure why there's so much uninformed talk about unsafe working at heights ... we're talking about bringing in employees from overseas who do this for a living. Unrestricted climbing happens ... without handrails... only harnesses.. every single day.. even in Australia! Unsure how this is a problem stopping parks here have reasonable close times.

Luckily for them they could get crew from overseas who normally do winter work in the northern hemisphere to do the same here. This was the same one that's been closed for me on half of my visits - rmc wen? True - but I was there in November (their dead season) and every ride was open.. just running damn slow because it was like 5 degrees C They haven't announced an end date -but the last time it closed - it was only for two weeks.

Is there any reason why it takes so long here? SFMM as far as I'm aware currently has 20 rollercoasters open.. with no issue. In fact while i've been there I've only seen one coaster closed due to maintenance. I can't remember the last time Disney coasters need to close down for so long.. I can imagine the outrage if Space Mountain was closed for months for scheduled maintenance (overlay installations are different), in fact evening opening late causes so much of an outrage an article was written about it!

Everyone hated Alton Towers when they got flats, but they had one of the longest lines on my visit earlier this year. (To be fair.. everything had a long ass line)

Those costs would be nothing in comparison to the Kuka ride system which SPOILERS AHEAD Loads one at a time .. unlike the harry version. Very cool experience

I got a ticket to WB AD just because it was so cheap after getting a Ferrari World ticket - anyway yeah it's mindblowing. Every attraction would be a E ticket at any Disney park. MWGC should really just pickup one of their rides and copy it. Any single ride. Heck even the Disk'O was a highlight. IMG_7462.MOV Then after that theres a sneaky Kuka Robocoaster hiding in a corner. Insane.

The Gold Coast parks would be better off closing for a month or so to do all the maintenance at once (if they could have enough crew to complete it) - they'd spend most of winter operating at a loss anyway (apart from school holidays). The flagship parks globally wouldn't have as many rides down as they have right now - it would be like Disneyland opening with Splash/Space/BTMR down .. putting everyone on Carousel of Progress and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Heck European parks even get temporary carney rides in if they have extended downtime of a ride during the season. Get Speed in and offer rides included in the entrance fee .. something you can't get anywhere else.

yes

very interesting

The other thing that is interesting is that all the six flags clones don't appear to have the same issues that's plaguing the MW version

Straight up copy-pasta?

I love how these parks had areas you could cook your own food.. and playgrounds. Cheap addiction for parks in Australia which will please both kids and families. I can't see them letting you cook your own food here though.

Don't give them any ideas

Yeah it’s common practice overseas to give away rides for free if they need to cycle a train anyway - seems like a waste if not. Unless they can just unlock the spinny car instead of the whole train

They literally could copy/paste any of the attractions from MW Abu Dhabi. Having a trackless dark ride would tick off their obsession with “Southern Hemispheres first” etc. I think

Do you guys honestly think they’ll run the both duelling coasters outside of school holidays ?

None of these IP are popular with the age group... still kick ass attractions
