But isnt the chairlift just sitting there till the park finds a buyer for it? Are you saying that Blue Lagoon might just sit there until someone buys it

OMG, we have to get this tornado somewhere!!! http://www.proslide.com/images/rides/1/4_design_2.pdf

Could be for a new reality TV show.... Big Brother: The Box

Then what is it doing in the Movieworld forum?

A little off topic here, but I was just wondering if AOS is part of MW, or if it is actually a different "park" (IE a different busniess entitiy) to movieworld?

There are nearly always movies being filmed in the warner bros sound stages, just usually not hollywood films, and quite often ones that none of us will ever see, or even hear about.

Who says there is only one flow rider? There could be multiple ones.

Another way would be to set the launch speed really slow, then have a blockbreak at the point where you want the ride to launch, and set this at your desired launch speed. Just be sure you dont acutally want to use block breaks during the ride, cause I dont think it would work too well! (using this method also means that you can turn any coaster into a launch coaster!)

And some of us have 680-1000 GB hdd (depends what drives im using, lol)

I used to love the blacklight area, cause I always seemed to have a UV stamp on my hand and it would glow

OMG, they removed ET???? That was like the uber best ride there...Now I am sad

I had a great day today guys! Thanks for the chance for having the meetup! If any of you want to meet up again some time, just send me a pm with ur msn/yahoo address, and lets see if we can organise something!

I'll bring my camera as well...we could have a bit of a multi-camera shoot thing going here!

I am coming now....dont have too much work to do over the weekend...YAY!

Sorry guys, I dont know if I can come anymore...I just started a full time job, and there has been a backlog of work cause they couldnt fill the position for a while...I will let you all know tomorrow night if I can come or not...so just be sure to check the board just before you leave if you want/need to know if im coming or not.

Hey Richard, how about u print out like a R-C.com.au logo or something and have it in a prominant place (eg your hands at around chest height, or on you backpack or something) so that we can recignise it if we dont know anyone?

I believe that the large sized lockers at superman are the same size as the small sized lockers at the photo center. The small ones at the photo centre cost $7 per day, the large ones at superman cost $2 for an hours use. EDIT: Spelling mistake

I was speaking to a Ride Op when superman broke down once, and we were next in line to ride...She was saying that MW gets no profit from the lockers what so ever. She also said that the person staffing the lockers is a person from the company that provides the lockers. All the profit from these lockers goes to the locker company and the person at the locker is paid by the company to handle people complaining about how they charge to use the lockers. She also said that there had been 7 or 8 different people been doing this job since the ride opened, and all of them had quit (this is in the time from when the ride opened till about mid January). She said the reason they had quit was because of all the abuse they were copping for charging to use the lockers. Interesting how the locker situation works hey?

Thank gosh for that!

But quite a few people dont work on a Saturday...And I understand that many people dont live on the Gold Coast (or near it) but there must be more than 5 people within 1 to 1 & 1/2 hours drive from MW!

I dont know about that, but I have heard (from a shop employee) that they are building a haunted house out the back of the shopfront in Surfers...She siad it would be open in another 2 or 3 years when I was there (about 2 years ago), so I am assuming it will be open later this year, or some time next year!

So far, only 5 of us going.....pretty poor when you think that tere are aprox 890 members....ah well, you cant win them all!

Really? When I was there, they only had one new laser. Or is it just one that looks like many?

I should be there, I think I have some "buy one season pass, get the second for 1/2 price" vouchers somewhere - I shall bring them along if I can find some of them! See yall on March 18!

Its more the time that is put into these ads than the money. From start to finish it takes around 3-4 months to script, film, edit and then broadcast. And what we are seeing on TV is only about 2% of the "good" takes that were made. I was working at a post production house in Brisbane for a few weeks and they did some ads when the claw came out, and they had around 40 hours of footage of the claw!!!
