  1. Train is no longer in the compound.
  2. Yeah why would they go will Huss? No chance. They'd probably want to do an Intamin tower to make it visually distinguishable from their existing POS
  3. Actually no I dont "have to see" anything. I think it's pretty friken obvious whenever we give an instruction. Or state "on parkz, bla bla bla". Whenever someone posts "I" that's exactly what it means. And Jesus Christ let's not start deciding the validity of opinions or points by the up/down vote system.
  4. Jesus guys. I said *I* don't like it, so *I* don't do it. You can all do and like what you please, and by all means do. It may actually shock some of you that different people can and do actually have different opinions and even more shockingly they are entitled to them! An idea mostly lost with forum posters. As for clogging the thread, I only pointed out that using google bypasses the paywall (and has never failed ever for me). So how I'm clogging a thread I don't know. AlexBs 6 page post on the other hand...
  5. I'd say some places on this thing will be pullin more than 1 neg G for sure.
  6. Hot tip Go through Google and you'll never be paywalled. Dont like to post an entire article and clog a whole thread.
  7. So a long ride is bad?? I remember when the park signature attractions were 20 min experiences. Nowadays they are que and 2 min ride... I know which I prefer
  8. Pretty stupid article in today's news http://www.couriermail.com.au/business/crowds-return-to-dreamworld-after-thunder-river-rapids-tragedy/news-story/463ece34b713f10e0322ea4ef85fa056 They put on a free wiggles concert and then claim the larger attendance total for the week as a bounce back. Come on who's buying this??
  9. I find a few things weird. Firsy they do a massive re-theme with carthay circle and the like only to then make it Superheroes... I can only assume superheroes will take over some of the unused stages and the area around Tower/guardians. How they make the Hyperion with Frozen fit I have no idea. Its a shame Tower wasn't closer to Carthay and they could have kept that whole area old world Hollywood. As for Pixar Pier $10 says mostly the area they are touching is the vacant space where the tower rides used to be. And I'd be ok with that. I do worry though that the great path DCA was on with placemaking is being ruined with many of these changes including Guardians.
  10. Probably makes sense to dry dock the barges during the day for maintenance and ongoing life. So you could tow them up the back and then roll out of the water.
  11. More importantly what did TPSN say they were doing? (Other than working on the lift hill)
  12. I think that pieces indicates the extreme nature of the first hill.
  13. Not really so, you can build such a display to be barge based installation that is self contained and towed into position for show which would still leave your lake free for daytime deep water shows.
  14. So let me get this straight, because you can't afford to pay you get no penalty? How about all that companies assets are siezed, along with the personal ones of the directors and they are banned from ever being involved in the amusement industry ever again.
  15. There's no way that if this bat shit crazy ride ever gets built it will be by anyone other than Intamin lol
  16. Yeah given the photo shows it actually embedded in the other support it most certainly must be the angle
  17. To be fair seems a perfect fit now. Totally custom made. Its not like they just hacked a piece out. You wouldn't want it snug and touching because there is going to be movement/flex in that whole structure when running.
  18. I did 80 laps on eXcelerator YEARS ago and when I was younger and stupider lol Obviously not back to back but the park was super quiet and I did sessions of about 20 laps or so. Mess riding with crazy Richard 'mantis man' who sits on that thing all day everyday. Most reridable coaster I know.
  19. Anyone notice that a very special support has gone in? Not going to post photo, see if you can work it out
  20. THIS RIDE DOES NOT HAVE A CABLE LIFT
  21. What kind of mong can't ride a tornado?
  22. Guessing TOT is down because of the high peak demand it has for power. Generators don't like that.
