Omg that would make my day!

TTPSN should just be called "The I'm a special kinda special and I have a facebook page page"

Lol normally I wouldn't comment but that 7 story is hilarious!! Firstly in the opening shot the ride can be seen cycling in the background Then they say it's due to low air compression (wow good use of terminology there). Then you have the comment about 'industry insiders'. Notice they didn't say experts! So that's probably some 15 year old kid with a website. A park doesn't even give an opening time for an attraction on the same day, so why would they say when it will re-open. If it's an air leak, it probably needs a part which they obviously need to arrive and then install. Sooooo minor, remember air is used to OPEN not close breaks. Such a funny story of drivel to watch

I don't believe that is actually accurate or even possible for that matter. The train uses the old chassis and wheels from the original train so there was zero improvement in smoothness from those components with the re theme. The only change is a 'perceived' improvement because of the new seat/restraint design. As a seat can't 'get rough' there is no way the train is getting rougher.

Really feel the need to point out that MOST rides 'break down' every single day. They are not broken 99.9% of the time. They are simply designed to stop if there is anything out of the ordinary. In reality they could usually be instantly started again, however most all parks procedures involve calling the maintenance team out to look over the ride before giving an all clear. Then also often the procedures will call for all of the daily checks to be repeated as though it was opening for the first time. This is why a 1 minute problem results in an hour long ride closure. Most all of the time not note worthy at all.

Well it's not! Its already been stated what it is. Why are there still "I hope its this" posts?

Yep correct. Used to be dressing rooms etc up there back in Maverick days. The stairs were in the Show Stage proper but the rooms above the 'facade' building.

Yeah that's why it's the bomb because it's so re-rideable. I actually did it no joke 80 times one day. And because it is the prototype and it was built with a way more grunt in the launch system than it needs so still the most forceful launch. The other thing that makes it awesome is it has the original Intamin seats which are ridiculously open Just one of those rides that makes you smile.

Favourites have got to be: Excelerator - number 1 Splash Mountain Pirates Giant Drop Twisted Colossus (I'm sure soon to be beaten by Lightning Rod and/or Ghostrider) Worst Rides Buzzsaw Wonderland Pirate Ship MDMC

I wish this thread could actually be about the construction at Movie World. #thejokesreallyoldnow #wehaveachitchatforumforthisdrivel

Yes I think a nice mix of shade/broken sunlight with palms etc is nice. It's Perth and the sun is hot as, the ambient temp is more than enough to make the cool water pleasant with out beating sunshine on you. FWIW I'm a bit over the posts that go the route of "NO I PERSONALY DONT LIKE THIS SO NO ONE SHALL HAVE IT. YOU ARE ALL WRONG." Each to their own, the park caters to a wide variety of people, not just on or two parkz members who wouldn't have even visited the park.

Are you going T Bone? I might pop in before work in the morning

Whilst no way would get a 4D due to build and maint costs slick is right about size. As as you drive into SFMM X is still the most impressive structure at the park visually

Many people who have the right to form a decent judgement regard original Ghostrider as the best coaster the world. If it is restored to that point (which many say it will be) Id say it will be a serious contender for top spot again. That being said Dollywood has a nifty little number opening this year too!

I'm in the minority when I say forget lazy river for transport. Saying that I would say I'm also in the minority that I've also been to parks who use one for such. It sounds great on paper but in reality it's impractical. So many people take their towel with them around a water park. How do you keep it dry on a lazy river? I know splash cash type money systems are getting better use but people often take their wallet to buy food so that's out too. They just don't really work. Build yourself a nice area, lagoon section at WnW Gold Coast is great. Have a kick ass huge crowd soaking lazy river that's pleasant to spend a while in. I'm also a big fan of a beverage outlet in a nice landscaped area like this, if you can license it even better. Parents love a place to hang out while the kids go ride. This is the perfect area for that.

Cept you can hear the lift motor all the way over at Outback Spectacular! but yes as arkham uses a friction anti rollback it lacks the noisy anti rollback dogs of say Hot Wheels.

I'm sorry but for a temp attraction this looks AWESOME!

Hahah thread about "little things that annoy you" then a member gets shot down for posting something little that annoys them! FWIW those lights normally are not left up all year round.

It's interesting. If its permanent then I'm with slick on finding a better location. If all of this is temporary then WAY TO GO Dreamworld for doing such a good job on a temporary setup.

OMG Push you make my head hurt. Perhaps they can build the world's best museum on monorail technology from the 80s? For the rest of us we know it's a coaster, because the DA is in for a coaster. As for the studios, don't worry about the productions, they come and go and even a 'permanent fence' being built and removed is small change for a major film budget. For all we know the fences are to keep the film academy peeps out!! The outdoor tank usually films at night if sound is an issue, because as someone mentioned the park and M1 noise are significant anyway. However most shots done there are big exteriors and sound isn't a focus.

Fencing has happened a few times. Same thing when Disney was in for Pirates. I wouldn't read too much into things there. Studios security and nothing new really, comes and goes with productions.

Ah the good old staff member that just happened to be in the park, just happened to know all the plans and just happened to feel like blabbing everything to a punter. Always take that info with a healthy dose of dippin dots.

Seems this is going to go the way of the recent Dreamworld construction where everyone made up their minds on whether they liked it or not before it was even finished (or started in this case). And yes as was previously stated I highly doubt this was what was referred to with the "world's best" statement. So perhaps stay tuned...

Did anyone read what Slick said? Can't believe the ride type is still being debated and people are still saying it's coaster.

But were they labeling themself as a DJ? I'm pretty sure they were saying they were a dancer. I just don't get why everyone is so up in arms that someone was pretending to be a real DJ when at no time do I believe they ever said they were a real DJ.
