Not too many flat walls on the side of airplanes

Looks great it does not... ...in my opinion

WnW needs A LOT of overdue love. Let’s hope it gets it.

World class response

That was a ridiculously long post with so many practical errors on how mechanical and ride systems need to actually work. It’s not a tractor in a paddock or a dam water pump. You can’t just bang it on a contractor and use a couple hundred dollar clutch on the drive she’ll be right. I’d suggest learning a lot more about how ride control and mechanical systems are put together before giving such a lengthy technical analysis and set of instructions again. It’s also laughable that you think the rubber rings for the rafts are some kids inflatable.

Well that’s odd because there’s only one person working at the company that I know still wears a suit.

So glad to see something done and dusted bring torn down there and not just sitting rotting away. It’s funny it’s another park that’s meant to be ‘under new management’ but really seems the main place that’s happening is a few km down the road. Such a big change in the Oxenford parks in the last couple years and now seems WnW is getting the attention we’ve recently seen at MW.

I have no issue with them re using them in. Even Disney pulls that one. Better than it going in the skip.

Yeah they get a pass on the name from me. It’s ‘fine’ and the colours look good. Just make the station nicely presented and absent if any half assed awful theming and it will be a solid attraction in the lineup.

Im just looking through those photos above and wondering exactly where does any of this park look like somewhere appealing to visit?

Bit of DejaVu there of how 'Sea Viper' looked just before it was given the can.

I mean wasn’t that just plain shit. It’s both a mash together of things already very publicly known and sitting on the internet and contains no real history of the ride. Also says nothing of why the ride had its ‘empty’ period and got next gen in the first place. The projections whilst questionable don’t replace any theming except in one spot (the post wild mouse jungle room) so they may not add anything. But they replaced a blank wall and a plain mirror. The ‘disco’ room doesn’t contain any lasers or fog. It has a period of some terrible lasers and no fog. And since received an extensive upgrade of 50 odd moving lights and a lot of LED lighting. So yeah, save yourself the 10mins.

Perfectly summed up!

Not much effort to replace it with a new system though. It’s just a couple of towers, gondolas and drive system. skyways are still very big business today worldwide.

That side of the park is the only day time operation ‘back of house’ access for vehicles, plant and other services. You’d also have to pass through back of house staff areas and maintenance workshops to get to it. Else you’d have to go in front of the dock which obviously can’t work because then it’s not a dock. Yes there are terrible chock points in the park, but opening that path to guests just isn’t an option.

They do though... because we’re talking about commenting on a photo. Pretty much everyone down to jo public is bombarded with images of what Disney and the other too minds are producing today. And that’s just theme parks. What about things like Vivid Sydney, or Marina Bay Sands? Whilst the photo in question I would say looks moderately cool. So do a lot of standard urban and shipping centre developments these days.

Why that statement? Its common knowledge is the App is from Accesso who aren’t exactly cheap and are kind of the standard for this sort of thing in parks.

I feel like there isn’t all that much hypothetical to this topic actually when it comes to Green Lantern’s impact. Regardless of whether the incident led to tragedy or not I don’t think the outcome would have changed much in terms of government oversight. The government isn’t silly, it would have known how close things came. The big difference between this and TRR is this was an engineering and design/manufacture problem. Is wasn’t a systemic failure in process of management, compliance, regulatory oversight and safety analysis. The only real difference in outcome as I see it as the ride would likely have been removed. Yes there have been fatalities on rides overseas that have reopened, however the fact Green Lantern is not that special a ride, and a giant big reminder of tragedy at the front of your park is somewhat less than desirable I think tends to suggest it would have been removed. The big impact that TRR had on the public was not so much that someone died, it was that the park clearly cared more about the bottom dollar than they did on safety. So the public felt betrayed because it was almost as though DW caused the accident. As opposed to a freak unforeseeable tragedy.

I actually think this looks good also

People rave about that roger rabbit ride but for me it never did anything more than say Mr Toads or similar.

Man they are some ugly done truss towers! ...the base not the top

They should build a Huss Rainbow

It looks very...blue I’ll leave it at that.

I would be planting 3 lovely big trees (one family member’s family reportedly don’t want a memorial) down the back in Corroboree and having a plaque saying “these trees dedicated to xyz). That’s literally it. I would not mention the accident or the deaths of why. That way there is something for the families to visit if they so desire. I’d keep it as far away from the accident site as possible. Firstly for the same reason, the family probably do not want to go back to that spot. Secondly you don’t want a big “death happened here” reminded, regardless of if it’s a big or small plaque, etc. I think the memorial should be as subtle and discreet as possible. It’s about about acknowledging the people for the family of the family so wants so. Anything more prominent or public starts to enter the world of being for the park, and almost using the deaths as goodwill by implying “look how great we are, we care, here’s a plaque.” I think subtlety is key. I’d also say don’t put it in a prominent area that is likely to see development because if you have to move it, that will just cause more outrage.

Its find to have a nice subtle plaque somewhere somewhat out of the way. A big ole Garden with a sign saying DEATH HAPPENED HERE - SOZ BUT HONESTLY IT WAS OTHER PEOPLE'S FAULT would definitely be a bit weird.
