Queensland Performances
Yeah, Damn_u69 (Andrew, good friend of mine) is currently up there hitting all the parks that his sister dances at. I believe they won't be performing at WBMW though. However, I did tell Andrew over and over that Scooby is greatest thing in the world, so he's going there with a friend of his. "Ride scooby, ride scooby, ride scooby" "OK!! SHUTUP LIAM!" Liam

The update is now up at OzCoaster. Enjoy the photos! Liam

Ride designs
Good design, but I don't know if it would be possible to do that as the G-forces would be too high when braking. Good thinking though! Liam

Need I say more? I don't know what planet you come from, but on Earth, spamming (posting stupid, random posts) isn't allowed. Get a life. LOL! Good one! :mrgreen:

Tip Top Up's Planet X FMX (or whatever it's called...)
I feel much more comfortable with my photos being on OzCoaster since they are being "advertised" more so to speak. According to the site's hit counter, the updates get viewed a lot. OzCoaster alone has been visited over 500, 000 times - mostly thanks to the free advertising we get from Scream Scape and Ian's connections with American amusement park web sites and work related sources. Ian is currently putting the update together, which will be without doubt our biggest update ever. It will be worth the wait! Liam

Tip Top Up's Planet X FMX (or whatever it's called...)
Hey guys, I went out to Wonderland today despite the scorching temperatures to get some photos of the freestyle motorcross. I only stayed for 2 hours to see the warm up and the little peewee 50 racing event, since it was basically too hot and there were flies everywhere! From what I saw - it was amazing. Some guy took his first ever backflip while warming up, but landed hard, and ended up with minor injuries. Expect a major photo update on OzCoaster very soon including the motorcross photos and the new Marvel events. For now, I will leave you with a small soundless video clip of the pee wee 50 racing. Enjoy!

Ride Concept Drawings.
Boy, you've got talent! I love the Battering Ram concept, the ride would "hit" (not literally, but it would appear to) until the wall is knocked down, then it would do a full swing. However I don't think Huss Rainbow's have OTSR's (they look like Bounty Revenge's OTSR's.. ouchie!). Anyway, great work mate, keep it up. Liam

TR: Orlando Parks
Nice TR Richard - glad to know you're having a lot more fun at Orlando than you did in California. So what's next on your agenda?

Wooden Roller Coasters
Chippy - you're turning every single topic into pure crap. Daniel corrects you on something, and you call him a "d*ick head" (for the fifty billionth time!). If Daniel corrects you on something, take advantage of that and imprint the valuable information on your brain - don't call him over used profanities. Liam

Water Park Design Drawing
Very cool! Those Master Blasters looks so cool, I heard that Cedar Point are getting one for their indoor water park, Castaway Bay for 2004. Well done, Liam
-
Wooden Roller Coasters
The layout is awesome, but I've heard from some Americans that it's a very rough coaster. That, or the ultra-sensitive "I criticise everything" coaster enthusiasses are at it again. Liam

Wooden Roller Coasters
Actually Nightshifter, I'd say quite the opposite. IMO, the first drop is the smoothest part of the ride (you'll know if you've ridden recently), and the rest of the track just bumpy. Not extremely rough, just very bumpy. The most brutal part of the ride is when exiting out of the fan turn at the back. Thankgod those seat dividers are there! Liam

Theme Park Design Drawing
Dude - please re-design Wonderland's map, please! That's fantastic work! Well done. Liam

Wooden Roller Coasters
I'm with Daniel on this one. The only reason I say that is because it barely clears the hill. On the transition from the hill to the (slow and boring) turn around, there seems to be a metal strip with a cable through it. I've seen an empty train clinging on to this object, so it's obviously an anti roll back system. Daniel has suggested that the cable is a winch to get the train rolling again. However, on recent rides, I've noticed that the cable is spinning furiously (at least to my eyes) as if it were giving the train a "boost" to clear the hill. This suggests that the train doesn't go as fast as it used to. Also, I've heard reports from inside the park stating that a large piece of wood broke off from the structure when last operating two trains. Apparently BB can't handle two trains, which is why there is only one train operating at the moment. Just a rumour though!

WLS Update 6/1/03.......THE RED TRAIN RETURNS!
Weird that you say that Scream, because from the area I was standing in, it sure did look like the train was passing right through the trim. Thanks for correcting me though. I took the video just over the staff area fence, right near the toilets. Liam

WLS Update 6/1/03.......THE RED TRAIN RETURNS!
Sorry to bring back an old topic, but I took a video today of the Bush Beast not stopping on the trim brakes at all. The trim has now been completely disabled. The video is poor quality unfortunately, as I took it with my digital camera. I didn't get a chance to ride it today, the queue was extremely long thanks to one train operation. Enjoy!

Lion cubs - gone!
Daniel was right, typical Wonderland. Thanks for that GoBoi. I actually found the Cubby House area to be quite nice, and had a lot of space for those little creatures to move around in. However the cubs are now much larger than they were (from when I last saw them 2 or so weeks ago). Liam
-
Lion cubs - gone!
Today at the park, garderners were actually watering the area with a hose. Does this indicate that somehow the cubs may be coming back? Or is Wonderland just trying to keep the area neat and tidy until the time comes to remove the area? Personally I think that a new type of animal will come in and spend the remainding weeks in the area. Just a thought! Liam

Wonderland Questions.
Yeah, it most likely would've been the other cars at the top. For most it is quite nerveracking to be sitting at the top what seems to be forever, so they scream at the top. Either that or you just heard the countdown (which is hardly ever!) ~Liam

To luna park in 3 months
I I hope to go to Luna Park on the opening day/night, but I don't think my chances of getting in are high. I heard somewhere that to get in on the grand opening night, you'll need tickets from ticketek. Is this true? ~Liam
-
Wonderland Questions.
Regarding the screams question, it depends on where you were. I know there a few screams in the video ("GET OUT! COME ON COME ON GET OUT!!), but if you were in the pre-load room, it most probally would have been the screams of the other riders. For future rides on Demon, if you want to know when the train is going to drop, just listen up for the brakes opening up sound - the train will drop about 3 seconds after that! ~Liam

Lion cubs - gone!
^ I'm a bit confused on what you said. What makes you think that I'd know why they aren't there anymore?
-
Lion cubs - gone!
Very interesting Coasterfreak. Which park used the slogan first? As previously mentioned, being that the sue-happy world we live in, that Taronga Zoo may have approached Wonderland threatening them to take legal action for use of "their" slogan. It's certainly possible, and I think I'm convinced that this is what happened. ~Liam
