Can't get a ride stoppage if you don't open the rides! -
Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
Dean Barnett replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
If no roller coasters are opened - everyone should be offered a return for free pass at the gate. No questions asked. It’s embarrassing - I can’t recommend anyone go there. You either go in peak school holiday season when you’re lucky to get on 4 rides during their piss weak operating hours - or go during the off season when it’s not even possible to line up for a ride. Pathetic. Heaps of parks (even Disney) offer to return for free if the rides are closed due to circumstances they can’t control (weather) - Movie World are in complete control of their maintenance schedule and they still choose to charge full price. -
I'm not sure if this is real but they're now saying there's no expected opening date on google review replies "Regrettably we can confirm that the Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster has been closed for some time now. The current track had reached its end of life and is now getting a multimillion-dollar upgrade. This process will require some time, and as such, no new opening date regarding the Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster Next Generation has been announced. Our maintenance team is working hard alongside the manufacturers to ensure all refurb is carried out for a new spectacular Scooby Doo experience. "

I think it’s important to note that the same doors you entered open to a completely different area Shame about B mode tho - the guns haven’t been working for years apparently and they really add to the scene- 2 replies

That’s all LED. Works well in daylight. -
Must be too expensive to implement... The announcement that CP/SF parks have for "We're going to stop operations for a bit to add an extra train" is a rollercoaster of emotions. Pun intended.

The fact that Veloci and Iron Gwazi are like an hour drive away from each other is such a treat. -

This may be a dumb question - but if it’s for parts availability.. why don’t they just order the stuff earlier? -

There's an option to do a mild/wild choice with alternate cars - and it doesn't cost a dime extra to run! I also think Australians can take a fair bit of force - even though our choices are limited. This shows how bad the operations are at our parks - and yes I sound like a broken record player - but rollercoasters are high capacity, they've just gotta be operated better! Rivals has a advertised capacity of 960rph, I've witnessed rates of around 200rph. (To compare - Velocicoaster running 2 trains is 768rph) I'm all for another gyro swing if its the next size up - a ride on The Claw and and a ride on CraZanity are so completely different. -
Universal Studios Orlando - November 2023
Dean Barnett replied to Gazza's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Fast and Furious is their biggest fail ever (particularly if you've done the USH tour) - and I feel like they know it - since that there's been heaps of focus on coasters - especially for Epic Universe. Rumours of RRR being replaced once Epic Universe is open too.- 4 replies

Why not tho? They’re both really good - tried and tested models. Personally I pulled the most G’s ever on a free spin. (Maybe second most) -

Opening the gates before the platform is clear of the previous riders doesn’t change the safety margin at all. Lining up more than one train behind the gates doesn’t change the safety margin at all.

Formula Rossa and other intense rides in the middle east require something to go over the top of religious head scarfs. Can be seen in the third row.
