What ride should replace Doomsday Destroyer?
Michelangelo replied to Prequel's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I feel like MW’s only chance of selling it is if the buyer has never ridden it before -
Rebel Coaster Incident Investigation Concluded
Michelangelo replied to Naazon's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Ok seeing as you’ve changed your comment… Where is the video publicly available due to being used as evidence? What was shared is a dodgy copy from a TikTok that someone had removed. It’s not the evidence that was submitted in court. Regardless, based on your opinion, so long as a video is publicly available, and it’s of a mistake someone has made, then it’s fair game to be reshared across any internet forum… right? Yeah maybe it was too extreme of an example, but the point still stands… He said free speech is amazing. He wanted to share it, so he did. So… That’s saying because “free speech” anyone is free to share whatever they want, so long as they want to share it. If you don’t like it, don’t click it. But back to my question in that comment which has gone unanswered… where do you draw the line?- 40 replies

Pretty simple if you actually read what I wrote. The internet is increasingly becoming a shitty place full of bullying and hate because of people who easily and thoughtlessly reshare content without a care in the world. It is these actions and blasé attitude to these actions which leads to people (typically younger people) becoming significantly depressed and hurt, and ultimately (and increasingly) ending their own life. It’s one of many examples I could put forth about how it’s not okay to just reshare anything on the internet because “free speech is amazing”. The point I’m trying to make is, it doesn’t matter if the person is at fault or not, you can’t just share anything you want on the internet because “free speech is amazing” and “he wanted to share something” so “he did”.- 40 replies

maybe learn what free speech is mate. It’s not freedom to do whatever you want. It’s freedom to express your own opinion, values or beliefs. Regardless… So what you’re saying if that was a video of a young girl being r*ped, there’s no need to worry about anyone resharing that… because “free speech is amazing”? or maybe, a baby being brutally attacked by a dog? plenty of examples… but where do you draw the line? Or, is it a free for all because you know… “free speech” and all 🙄- 40 replies

The story of the incident and aftermath should serve as a warning. If you can so easily and thoughtlessly share content like this… or be so blasé about people who reshare content like this… then it’s no wonder the internet is such a growing cesspool of hate and bullying. Actions like this is why the internet can be such a shitty place… and why you hear so much of kids necking themselves these days.- 40 replies

Not trying to be an internet police. I just don’t think it’s appropriate to share. Serves no value to anyone. What if that were you in the video? Or, what if it were your mum, daughter, sister, aunty, cousin?- 40 replies

Ok… So you’re fine with anything being shared online provided whoever doesn’t want to see it doesn’t click it?- 40 replies

Wizard of Oz - Movie World Arkham Asylum Replacement

If the rumours are true there’s also 20KG of coke in the mix too -
Wizard of Oz - Movie World Arkham Asylum Replacement
Michelangelo replied to Park Addict 93's topic in Theme Park Discussion
And did all those sources get their info from Kirby? Given they’re no longer publicly listed, we’ll never know for sure… But, if it cost $100M, they got ripped. If it is an exaggeration, well that just sums up how the place is being run ATM. -
Oh god… let’s hope either it looks better in person or they’re not finishing installing something else to it… Yikes!

Gavin from Pico Play was on the latest Dane’s Theme Park Life Pod and shared there are quite a number of easter eggs scattered across Rivertown that nobody has noticed yet… Have you spotted them or any others not mentioned? On my list to see next time I’m back… The cards on the desk and the turbine joke somewhere

What ride should replace Doomsday Destroyer?
Michelangelo replied to Prequel's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Bring Trident across from Sea World… they might just be able to run it on a daily basis and get their monies worth from it -
I didn’t stick around for the final one, maybe they save them all up for the end. regardless there was some fireworks in all the shows, so yeah not sure what VRTP were on about… maybe set expectations lower so people are amazed?

Wasn’t it only the one pop-off at the very start of the show? I don’t recall seeing many more fireworks during the show

I think we can all agree it was/is in a complete enough state to open though…

Wouldn’t another station potentially help ease that capacity issue? People at stations wanting to jump on are dispersed across 3 stations rather than 2

2024 Theme Park Enthusiasts Awards
Michelangelo replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
In fairness I’ve not ventured out west, but have been down south… Best Food - Jane’s/Dreamworld Best Guest Experience - Dreamworld Best Park operations - Dreamworld Best Coaster - DC Rivals/Movieworld Best Family Coaster - FOTWW/Movieworld Best Flat Ride - Sledgehammer/Luna Park Sydney Best Themed area - Rivertown/Dreamworld Best Show - Aqua Light Show @ Carnivale/Sea World Best Kids’ Area - Dreamland/Dreamworld Best new attraction for 2024 - Jungle Rush/Dreamworld Best Amusement Park - Dreamworld -
100% it’ll return to full circuit. I wouldn’t be surprised if it reopens as a stop for Jane’s restaurant to drive footfall into there. The only issue is that it’ll require significant investment to raise the height of the platform for accessibility like they did at Central and Wildlife, and they don’t have a lot of space to work with to do so… Which might make it expand into an even larger project to re-do the entire path from RT through to Wildlife(Or, Corroboree) to allow for this. Would be a great distraction from the eyesore that is old TOT building on the left heading back to Central…

I think that’s the key too… they’re not robotic just trying to get as many people through as possible, they’re also having a laugh, enjoying their time, chatting to guests

I have to say Jungle Rush ops were electric tonight! Pre-board announcement before the train has arrived, gates opened as guests get off, restraints being checked before the train was fully seated yet. Pre-dispatch announcement whilst they’re checking restraints, then it was an almost immediate dispatch as soon they reached the final restraints and checks. Without timing it, I honestly think from the moment I sat down to when we were moving was less than 30 seconds. Not only did this help keep wait times down, but also minimised the time the other train is waiting out on the rain. Absolutely seamless.
