Shornee, Appreciate, marvelous, jollies, what’s, awesome, break dance, actually, appreciates, finer (I presume that's what you meant ) and in. Ta. Merry Christmas mate.

I'd have sworn I put Ned Kelly's in... Ah well. Thanks Day Shift. You say for the better? OK... Here's what has come out of the list to make way for nothing! EVERYTHING!!! Fred Flinstone's - not relocated by choice (It was crap that's why) Judy's - wasn't replaced by anything or relocated Mountain Cascades - SBNO The Red Back - Endeavours relocation Skyhawk - not replaced (piece of crap also) Taz - well we can't say at this early stage Wizards Fury - not replaced. Just an existing ride relocated there The Ball Pit - not relocated Paddle Boats - used for Wildlife Park Scooby's - not relocated Beastie - SBNO Skyrider- SBNO Ned Kelly's - not replaced (piece of crap) The only thing that's made way for something is really the Paddle Boats. I think that was a while before they decided to use it though. When the Paddle Boats came out, using it for the Wildlife Park probably wasn't considered. I think the boats just went cause of their efficiency or lack of it. I don't know so I better not speculate You say make room for better attractions for the future? It's 10 years for some of them!!! If they used the excuse of the park being too big for guests, they're not going to re-open HB. They'd just look even more stupid wouldn't they? If they planned on using HB, they wouldn't have used the too big excuse. They'd have come out and said working for the future or something... The only thing it'll be used for, if anything, is an extension of the Wildlife Park.

5 operators? Nope. More than likely a supervisor or two and maybe the relief operator coming to give lunch break or whatever. Someone that was walking past and called in for a yarn. Something like that. Never more than one op. The only rides that sometimes operate with more than one are Demon (2 persons), Probe (2-5 persons, more than 2 rare), Zodiac (2 persons rarely), Snowy (2-3 persons, SHOULD BE 6), Dodgems (2 persons) and Bush Beast with 2 trains (rarely) (2 persons). Time from the start of one cycle to the start of the next one at Demon should be no more than about 2 and a half minutes with an unloader. This includes the 90 odd seconds for the ride. So a minute changeover basically. Anything longer than that, they're dragging the chain. However, there are always going to be hold ups between cycles like heights to check etc, but generally 2 and a half minutes tops. It can be an efficient ride if the operator pushes hard enough. Planes has been stuffed for about 12 months. It's still making the same noise now that it did in June when I was last there. Good old Snowy. My favourite ride. Shame the wait is long for some :twisted:. Your best bet is to hire a wheelchair next time you go to Wonderland. Up the exit paths and re-ride ride... The problem with Demon and all the rides for that matter, is that maintenance is done on a reactive basis. Just fix it when it poops itself. The wrath of the almighty dollar... Boxing Day will be big. Last year was chockas! What a shame I won't have to put up with everyone... 8)

Nightshifter, you get it through your head that no one is saying Wonderland is worried about the long term impact of Luna Park. Luna Park won't be more popular. No one's saying that. All I've said is when Luna Park opens it will be a novelty. Tiddly Pip.

Closest thing to the real thing? Are you brain dead? It's a piece of plastic!

It's time to go.... Fred Flinstone's Splashdown It's time to go.... Judy's Jetliners It's time to go.... Mountain Cascades (maybe back for holidays) It's time to go.... The Red Back It's time to go.... Skyhawk It's time to go.... Tasmanian Devil It's time to go.... Wizards Fury It's time to go.... The Ball Pit It's time to go.... The Paddle Boats It's time to go.... Scooby's Silly Stix It's time to go.... The Beastie It's time to go.... Skyrider That's a lot gone isn't it? Any others to add? Comments?

How do you know I haven't built one Mexican?

Hussy, Are you related to Bussy? Why not put that in your last post? You've taken up valuable cyber space by double posting. Rich will get angry and hit you hard :twisted: It is bloody boring! I couldn't think of anything worse! What the bloody hell do you do with it when it's finished? I'd rather give birth to a chair to be honest. What a load of crap. Idiot? Because I don't agree with your opinion? Because I don't have the same boring hobbies that you do? Brains aren't everything. In fact, in your case they're nothing. Do you ever wonder what life would be like if you'd had enough oxygen at birth? If you put your brain in a bird, it would fly backwards.

Man, I can't wait... sign me up for 18 of each... HOW BORING!

JAG Aftershave, What gives you the impression that Scream is a current or ex member of staff? I can't see anything to make me think like that. Possibly just a fellow enthusiast like yourself...

Because they're addicted Scream... They physically can't stop.

It's not just happening at night you flaming galah. It's not prejudice when it wants to poop itself. Boofhead. Coat hanger wire can burn out at any time... :twisted: Muhahahahahahaha They don't care what's said on here GoBoi. Yes they sure do read it, but like they take any notice. I probably wouldn't either for that matter... Seeing as though I scaled the perimeter fence yesterday to break in, was there signage up out the front of the park for the closure of Demon and Taz? (I actually didn't take any notice...) It didn't stand out nevertheless, therefore it wasn't good enough if there was something. By me, there were 15 attractions operating yesterday, including the trackless train. Demon is always getting stuck on lift 2, pump 4 at Snowy is constantly tripping, Bush Beast continually parks itself on the lift, Taz isn't there, Autos is running just 3 cars, the Train's brakes decide to fail, Planes is still making the same noise it did 12 months ago (the bearings need replacing) and guide rails rip off Probe requiring emergency stops. However they'll be the first to blame the poor old maintenance staff and operators when something goes wrong. I should say they do blame them! Operators are the scape goat for the cost cutting. That's what pis*es me off about that place at the moment GoBoi. Ohh goody, the parade is ringing my bell already... Fire those quad bikes up... That should be exciting.

You can't expect it to be much busier 4 days before Christmas though mate. For 50 bucks I'd want 10,000 coathangers...

Yeah yeah, before ya's start, no I didn't pay to get in! Jumped the boundary fence of the M4 if you must know :twisted: I was going to wear a Groucho mask, but I didn't think that was inconspicuous enough. Nah, I love that hat. I won't go into my complaints either. Saw some nasty stuff going on around the joint. Makes me wanna scream I tells ya. Anyhoos, Demon got stuck on lift 2 on Saturday night. Guests were there for 45 minutes. Ride had to be switched to manual operation to get them down. It appears a piece of coat hanger wire burnt out in the control room and the dog chain couldn't drop to release the train. Bugger... It obviously wasn't a concern to get it up for Wonderland yesterday, because I didn't see anyone there all day. The only ride I wanted to go on too

They're just as silly as anybody that would take it on in the first place then. You're wound up like a thousand day clock on this one aren't you Rich?

I'm not in the mood for talking about these bastards at the moment. I'll get back to this post next week... if you're lucky!

Could have paid for me to go up for you Rich. I'd have done that 8)

Below the belt Bussy and SOJ. You're gonna fire some people up with your respective posts I can tell you. GOOD WORK! :twisted:

Scared of Jack and Diane is singular you dolt. One person. What's the they crap? A monkey in a silk suit is still a monkey... If I tell you, I'm afraid I'd have to kill you.

I knew you did. So did I. The most friendly guests on that ride too when you say no your kid is too small. But she's only 3 cm's under. Tell someone who gives a crap. Bugger off.

How exciting. I'm sure all the operators are pushing each other out of the way to get back up there. Is that 'thing' still written on the control panel? I didn't do that by the way you bastards. Even though I got the blame from all concerned MUHAHAHAHA

I look like him do I? That's nasty Scared of Jack and Diane, Two American Kids growing up in the heartland. That's the worst insult imaginable I must say. I know the thing you and him and going though. It's no secret. That little rendezvous... I wonder what he's doing these days? Probably delivering pizza's, or eating them on the way anyway... Custard Ass! I've got some keys to give you too Butterbean... Want em? Pffttt... Merry Christmas.

How about the new staff cards? Are they the red and green colour being referred to? At least they're being festive... Bussy, any chance you could get a look at someone's ID card?

On an absolutely unrelated note, I just got my usual 4 different local papers. I notice on the Fairfax papers, they show Beastie in the promo for their giveaways. Anyone else noticed? The same picture was used on the WallyPasses and Staff ID cards too. Is it still the case?

10-4 Jaguar Racing Team. The person's quite clearly a bone head then. Diarrhea of the mouth, constipation of the ideas. A bit like Boob Jobe...
