Themepark Enthusist

Do we know what time it is exactly tomorrow, I'm very keen on finding out ASAP tomorrow

It looks like Gumbya World is about to announce something, maybe a new ride

Steel Taipan has a nice looking fence that still adhears to the regulations. It's not about the regulations but they could have done something nicer then just a off the shelf fence. It still doesn't explain the Brisbane Street Lights in the middle of forest theming

Well I wonder if they could achieve an non opportunistic look by using a fence similar to tailspin, still meeting the 1m high requirement using like "weathered" looked fencing it also doesn't excuse the use of the shelf Street lights that you'd see in Brisbane in side the world of WoO... My main issue isn't the fence being real but the way they did it, the examples that i have attached are some fences that still need to meet the requirements, but also convey the theme.

On another note, I looked at the photos again and something was off to me, I figured it out, it's the fences. They aren't inspired and I miss the days of where even the small details like fences and lights, and speaker were thought of for theming. Rather then just pathing and a fence. Imagine we got something similar to this, the fences, rustic and the lights on the power lines (I just googled wizard of Oz farm)... It might be not picky, but I don't want to be "transported" to the WoO where there is city lights and not thought through fences and smaller details...

You don't think they have purchased spare units?

I'm sure the corn will last, they should have been made in a way that's easily replaceable

Considering it was taken straight from a government website I would say it is relatable lmao

I think it is safe to assume the site manager has a white card, this quote from the NSW government makes it quote clear that, you don't need a white card to be on a construction site. If you're building a home are you then not allowed to go on the site to look things over because you don't have a white card?

I wasn't, but also when they say "12 airtime moments" I am hopeful that it is a little stronger then what DW has currently especially when most the park rides only focus on inversions

This wouldn't work, a theme park especially DW isn't a charity. They aren't just going to remove the fast track just to please 5 people especially when the fast track is the only monetisation that rides utilise not to mention people who use the disability services like the DAS system Disney uses where would they enter. I'm sure most people can "self sort" in the morning when they see what time the film is that they want to see is on

The upstops are the same as roadrunner, and similar to the same ones as Movie world just announced I would say this is the final bogie design. But also it's important to consider that maybe Vekoma didn't think they needed to be completely vertical. I'm not an engineer so it's hard for me to know. I'm just speculating

So no where to do it for night markets then?

Looking at the wheel bogies, it seems like the 'airtime' won't be too powerfull especially because the upstop wheels are angled and have a noticeable gap, so I expect the airtime to be weaker then BBM at Dollywood... I maybe be proven wrong still guess we will have to wait and see

Would be interesting to see it return to DW, although does DW have the space to hold the show in, like how they used to do live shows? would that even return? Maybe if they had the space could see them doing it in the night markets.

How do you think the management of the queue would work switching evey hour? That seems overally excessive especially when trying to relay that to the people in the park... I don't work in a theme park so I don't have experience but if you have an idea on how that would work i would be keen to hear it

The seatbelt thing at both DC Rivals and ST are both requirements from Mack Rides. Copperhead strike also utilises the same system in a completely different park chain. This requirement is because if the seatbelt is done up previous to the check they aren't checking the hydraulics in the harness and instead are only checking the seatbelt, this you get that situation that Mack has put in place where they need to check the harness hydraulics (without seatbelt) then put the seatbelt in. If you can name one ride other then the two Mack rides which Mack have put that requirement in.. you can have that point all for yourself until then that is not a good argument

With intamin having so many projects, I would like to doubt that they are devoting a 25min press conference for a standard gyro swing

I wanted to apply a few weeks ago and the applications were already down so I doubt they haven't trained everyone in 3-4weeks. There's it looks like TOH isn't ready to open yet for maintenance the ride is nearly at 20yr old so wouldn't be surprised if they needed to replace some large parts to the slide, maybe even to do with the pumps or operating systems?

Maybe it will be an entirely new ride concept all together, I find 25min to announce one ride quite a long time surely it can't just be a flat ride.

This is not what I was expecting! I'm actually really excited! Only 13 days... Maybe there will be a two ride deal, moto replacement and claw upgrade? They left the tower of terror building... Maybe we could see something utilise that?

Considering that it is the same with the harry potter ride in USJ... It's probably not the worst thing ever. From a side on approach and even in the queueline you can see the white shed/show building the ride is inside of.

There is no way that would add as much to the expenditure adding a tunnel then the 50mill already spent... Even if it was cheap just something other then shed

The asx release that was released a few weeks ago makes me feel there is very little planned for after JR. just refurbishments and upgrades. I would love to see a coaster get intertwined with ST maybe that would be a good excuse to theme it up…

I think they should just tear Moto, GD down and just start over... That area aroud motocoaster and the GD is awful. Not only for appeal but in summer it is a dread to walk in... Fine maybe keep GD but at least fix that "pathway"
