For @T-bone, @red dragin and anyone else into Dreamworld Railway. I took this photo of Perry on Feb 22, 2005, back when it was still a Steam Locomotive,

Some very severe storms appear to have rolled through Nerang-Coomera area. Expecting to see hail photos at the Parks on social media shortly.

As I've said elsewhere (in this thread?), I'd love to see the style of Mystery Inc, but classic cartoon is the way to go. I don't know if MW has the rights to anything bar the movie filmed at the studios.

With talk of a significant update to SDSC coming (Parkz interiew with Clark Kirby), I was thinking.. the previous version of the ride I interpreted as Scooby getting so scared, he runs away from the haunted castle ride and the gang joins him at a party* instead. I'd kinda like to see a more involved plot, where they catch a monster and reveal the villain. So in the queue you get a story of a monster and meet a few characters who set the story up. The part of the ride up to the elevator is Daphne, Fred and Velma decide to go one way, Scooby Doo, Shaggy and you go another. The elevator is a trap the monster sets, and the wild mouse element is a chase scene you often see in the tv show, where the monster chases Scooby and Shaggy. The turntable and hairpin corners are you avoiding the monster, with audio in straights of Fred, Daphne and Velma setting a trap for the monster. You catch the villain and reveal their identity before the 'surprise drop'. Maybe keep the MXPX music for the disembark station/walkway to the gift shop. * Unless the wild mouse section was always meant to reference a 'chase' scene?

Yep - next to the Craw.

I think that's what skeeta meant.

Stab in the dark: pre-auth on a debit/credit card to hire the locker in the first place? We'll find out soon.

Is Greenlauntern in the Western Show Stage? LTRR back area? Haven't been on it yet.

* Southern Hemisphere's.

Pteranodon Flyers style? Yes, involving the Murrisippi and island. Jurassic Park: River Adventure? Heck no.

Guessing the theming isn't ready yet, despite whoever's making it having what, 10 months to make it?

If TPG's source is correct, it really is disappointing.

Big difference between conservation-promoting Tiger Island and breeding/destroying animals for the sole purpose of gambling.

So, the park getting stuck in and getting things done? Sounds good.

Bathurst broke the bank. I'll have to settle for going to the Parks instead.

Two of the boxes I ticked this year: DC Rivals and Bathurst.

Not sure which thread was best, but here's a video from today as part of the lead up to the Supercars Gold Coast weekend. Some of the drivers got to ride a few laps, in various seats. @Jakev8 you might enjoy this as much as I did.

I moused over, saw the url, had a guess it was that....and clicked it anyway.

ABC Brisbane has tweeted their news story from the Opening of Movie World.

...do they state the number of guests for this record-breaking day?

In addition to the post by @themagicianon the post before this, TPG has reported and hinted (on her FB page) at theming going in around the bottom of the elevator.

I really, really, want a motorcycle style coaster for this game. No reason...

Good enough to have it stand for all this time, taking only an ex-cyclone to damage it enough to trigger action. Also, was curious, but from the pic there is smoke sensors/alarms in the mountain. Cool.

Yeah, the sheets. I'm not protesting down the main street of the city about it, but I think the media could be more considerate. The families and staff don't need this shoved in their faces.

So how about their logo instead?
