L.A. or Orlando?
10 days in LA and you're spending so little time at Disney? Are you doing a lot of non park stuff as well? If not give yourself at least 2 maybe 3 days at Disney. Include a weekend so you can see fantasmic but you'll need 3 night so you can do World of Color and Parade/fireworks. Paint the night IS NOT to be missed. Knotts do on your 3rd Disney day. You should knock it over in 1/2 to 3/4 day. Don't miss Xcelerator, best launch there is. Do not miss Tatsu, X2 or Colossus at Magic Mountain, they are just amazing. I would also make sure you ride Riddlers as stand up is very cool. And the surprise HOLY SHIT ride for me was Green Lantern, a must do.

L.A. or Orlando?
Definitely, there is no park on earth like the original Disneyland, no matter how they try to recreate it bigger and better. California Adventure is also now a wonderful park. As a coaster fan one just can't miss the chance to visit Magic Mountain and Knotts is a wonderful park and really a hint at everything Dreamworld could/should be.

Green Lantern incident at MW
Cept it's only green. It's made that was so as to be bright in full sunlight. Some really clever bright spark came up with the concept.

Wanda Group to build theme park on Gold Coast?
To be fair the US dollar is worth a lot right now so your figure goes up AlexB. And whilst they are offering $80 annual passes right now at Six Flaggs it does still cost you $80 to get in for a day so no matter what your tourist is paying $80 for the likely one day they will visit. On the GC you will get 3 parks for that price.

So every other park in the world with regular staff as parking attendants is getting linched?

Sea World maintenance
It's certainly very modern, which seems to be the look they're taking with most all new/refurb construction these days. Just don't know if it suits the name Tavern though is all.

Green Lantern incident at MW
Pretty much what he said above. Youll find with most test tracks for coasters (like the batman example) are built really so that people can ride and test how the ride 'feels.' There's a great quote from a VP from Arrow in a really old documentary that says "you can build a ride that's expensive, and looks great and sounds great. But if it doesn't feel good no one will want to ride it, and no one will want to put it in their park" Their first suspended coaster prototypes are a primary example of this.

Fright Nights - 2015
Few points for my mind... Smoke, get over it and slow down. There is no need to run so if it's too thick, take your time. Not being able to see AT ALL creates the apprehension they are looking for. Music, I didn't hear ANY dubstep at all, are you guys sure you know what that actually is? The only EDM I heard at all, all night was in the finale. F13 was easily the best maze they have ever produced, from sets, to lighting to scare actors. The fact you couldn't see in places just added greatly to the apprehension again and I felt was a plus not a negative. As as for the Terror Tour itself, can't be described in words. It's beyond f#cked up, hilarious, inappropriate and gross all at the same time. Top class and shouldn't be missed.

Green Lantern incident at MW
Stupidest thing I've ever heard. That's like saying if the Dreamworld Tower fell over it's the park's fault for 'demanding' Intamin build a 400 foot tower. As the customer you simply request a design, it's the suppliers obligation to fulfill the necessary engineering requirements and if they provide certified documentation of such then it falls with them. You can't lay ANY blame on the customer for requesting something from a conceptual point that the supplier ultimately failed to build correctly. That's just nuts.

Fright Nights - 2015
So two things... Firstly I nearly tuned out at the point you named dropped, that's a bit sad. Then you said you wouldn't spoil it for anyone but told everyone it was in the kids zone, you got groped and that someone was singing like a virgin. Thats after you have away half the maze contents also. Perhaps do a bit better with your spoiler alert next time hey.

Roller Coaster Crash at Alton Towers
It could happen tomorrow anywhere! If employees don't follow the established safety procedures then accidents can and will happen. The park can't do anything to FORCE it's employees to do the right thing anymore than an airline can FORCE pilots not to intentionally crash planes.
-
Sea World name change?
At the end of the day "hate on Seaworld" is the current 'in' thing to do and if it's one thing the on mass US public love is a good bandwagon to jump on. Soon enough they will get 'shocked and horrified' at something else that has been right in front of them for years and move on and forget about hating Seaworld and start going to see the "cool whale show" again.

Dreamworlds Next Rollercoaster?
You mean you don't think dreamworld will put in a world class coaster for tens of millions of dollars?? I'm shocked lol

Fright Nights - 2015
As I said. Even the world leading events only add a couple of new mazes a year and the rest make re-appearances. Some even have massive followings and get tweaked each year. Why would you expect MW to have 4 new mazes each year? Those two were amazing last year so this year we get 4 A grade mazes, not 2 great ones and 2 cheaper ones. IMO this is a big improvement, not a let down.
-
Fright Nights - 2015
You all realise that most of the overseas parks only introduce two or so new mazes each year right?

Gold Coast almost got Disneyland.
Very smart business decision to not go ahead with the project. No way it would be financially viable. And if the head of the division is anti Tokyo Disney, probably good reason why he is the FORMER head of the division.

Don't even know why I bother, but can I just explain that if you've signed a contract saying you can't say, then leading people to the answer and then basically telling them they're right is still violating the contract! not very smart sir

That's what I thought, just checking. Your comment about doubling the attraction cost seems to correlate quite well with the Gold Coast projects too.

Ideas For The Old Sea Viper Space
I'd be inclined to look at a Maurer spinner. Both comhination of thrills with family appeal and I recon that's what Sea World calls for. Plus there isn't one in oz so it'll be unique. Also very easy to them to some sort of Sea Creature.

Just curious, was 12mil your project cost or just the ride cost for Abyss Mark?

You're right, it's no different. That too is selfish. Its like people in an apartment complex that go and reserve tables they want for lunch from 7am to make sure they get them meanwhile no one can use them all day.
