Sorry for offending people

Scream is a decent ride tho.

That point was in my follow up post 😕

They chose to go with a coaster design from 13 years ago. 😕
-
And.... a launch that isn't completely bloody flat
-
Even something as simple as the copperhead strike (another snake coster) landscaping.. very cheap and fits the theme. Dreamworld managed to make a carpark coaster - outside of the carpark.

Nope. It feels like you almost gotta be naked to ride Superman (it was closed on this visit). Having a queue where you can't have your phone is super lame. They need to get rid of the wall between the load and unload for Superman and add bins. Never seen then with 2 trains and the time the train takes to go from the unload to the load is 100% wasted time. They definitely did - like I saw them with my own (naked) eyes? Every single park I've been to has let me wear sunglasses with straps - including rides with much greater forces (X2, TTD, SteVie, Hulk) They also let you put a hat under your shirt for those brake run stacking waits. Presentation was great - except for the area under the ride.. some landscaping would be far better. Yeah just wanted to setting my expectations. Dreamworld are definitely way over strict now - I wasn't able to wear my sunglasses around my neck, tethered - on the soaring clone.. I've taken a full on backpack on multiple Disney rides with inversions. I'm not sure why I'd make up the amount of ops? They also didn't let me re-ride rivals when there wasn't anyone waiting for my row... I did the front row of apollo 4 times in a row once because of the empty queue.

I got a chance to ride ST finally last week. For reference - I've got around 180 credits including coasters at Six Flags MM, GA, Atlanta, Cedar Point, Canadas Wonderland, All Florida parks etc. I found it really disappointing. The launches are weak - the only decent one is the start of the 2nd one. You spend around 10 secs travelling on a straight flat track and the pacing is all over the shop. Also it trims on the MCBR .. and there's no yeet off it like so many other rides take advantage of. It just seems like a weird pick for the park - you've got a top tier launch down the road, along with a coaster with a much better layout - the only real big difference is the inversions. Also ops were pretty bad. 2 people running ST, 4 people running rivals down the road.. on the same day. Also interesting that they don't allow sunglasses with straps - which was perfectly fine on TTD. The one good thing that dreamworld did was get that soaring clone. Perfect fit. Just my opinion.

If it's a big deal schedule the rides for AM and PM (probaby scooby for AM and Green Lantern for the PM) etc.

Florida or Cedar Point - all open really late during their seasons. It's not about daylight - night rides are sublime. -

6pm is a joke. Every park in the states in summer is open to at least 9pm .. sometimes even midnight. -
There's way more vaccinated people than non..
