GREAT post Richard... And you don't even need to say who the third statement was from, I love that.

They can't kill Speedy's... it's the last original ride left!! And yes whilst the ride buildings have all been clad the same, most of them aren't insulated at all. At night when Scooby is running and there is no other sound in the park you can here the cars running around and the lift cycling from anywhere in the park. Over at the soun stages the walls are a good 6-10 inches thick, full of insulation and even feature air locks when you enter to stop noise entering or exiting the space. You can run up a full fright nights maze, with audio running at maximum level and hear nothing outside the building with the doors closed. As a side note, the SOUND STAGE numbering on the ride buildings was only added in recent years as an upgrade to theming, it wasn't even always there. If you look closely at the Scooby main coaster section building you will see the original height of the building (basically it matched the other building) and where the additional was added on.

It's a massive shed, if the seating was leveled down you'd have a big space but it would be perfectly suited to a Soarin type ride but I'm not sure what else. Best choice is probably an indoor/outdoor attraction.

Just with the show stage... sure it would be costly to excavate the seating area into a bigger building but it wouldn't be hard. Rip off some side panels allow plan access and have them go to down digging it out. The problem may be the foundations for the roof though as I think they sit on the existing slope.

I just can't believe in the past few weeks no one has posted any photos of the counterweight to the internet... Surely they'd have some in the new advertising at least??? Madness

I made a somewhat joke that it will be a housing estate soon enough... but really, I'd give it 5 years and it will be closed for land value.

I saw no reason why not the have the video embedded so members didn't have to go look for it.

God a couple more posts and I won't be able to take much more of this Ninja nonense

This park just cracks me up, it's turned into complete joke of recent years.

The OP here is no clue, nothing has changed down there for a long time and that sign has been gone for over 6 months... Completely rubbish thread.

It's using the whole building..

Especially this park as originally it and Wonderland were so similar.

All depends, obviously the building is the same size so you can fit just as much in, but maybe it's one huge immersive scene rather than a series of small passageways?

Obviously the launch timing is a little bit off but it's nice to see a little dark ride portion before launch. The coaster part looks to pace really well.

Pfft lunch. Buying overpriced junk food is half the theme park experience

I usually have stuff all! Small camera, wallet, phone, jacket/jumper and that's about it. I just find its easier to have it all in a bag and chuck that one bag in a cubby hole or Locker than empty multiple pockets every ride. Usually a couple of us will put all out stuff in one bag and just take turns carrying it.

1. Sorry Pushbutton but you are being a douche by not ending the hire. 2. 'bit risky'? Got times have gotten sad. I remember when you didn't even need a locker at WnW and just left your bag with you stuff why you went and rode rides

It's crazy how little of the original building itself is left!

I actually long for a quality alacate restaurant in one of our parks. You know the type of restaurant people will go to the park just to eat at. I always thought the Broadwater cafe would be perfect for this if it had been stepped up a notch, even opened at night just for dinners. I'm clearly wrong because the parks are smart and if it would be profitable they would have done it, but always puzzled me why there is no demand for this in Australia it seems.

Yeah $10 don't buy you much these days, I think it's pretty fair price.

Yeah that looks friken awesome!

I don't think they will. The Opal card is a ill thought out system that cost the traveller EXTRA so the is little incentive for them to use it.

Didn't exactly send him broke did it?

At the end of the day it's just an ordinary photo of a construction site. Is ensuring the protection of such photos with a watermark even really required? If I was taking photos of dirt and metal and uploading I really wouldn't give a rats if people stole it and fobbed it off as their own. Cause really in the scheme of things, who cares?

Obviously the guys is a moron with no business sense! I mean his immense success and wealth clearly demonstrates this.
