It exists on all of the 453m SFC model. I thought I was the only one who noticed that, it's definitely weird. This is yet another oversight by the design teams. You can’t have a grouper blindly assigning rows without giving them the ability to view a camera feed of the queue lines, this doesn't happen on FotWW as the grouper has direct view of the queues. Giving the benefit of the doubt here... maybe the grouper couldn’t see up to the crossover point. Opening day the lady that was doing grouping did an excellent job of keeping both sides no more than a one cycle wait and trying to get us (and herself) out of the sun. That said, if you get a good grouper, you’re usually able to request which side you’d prefer, it worked on opening day. Fun fact, all the ride operator booths have air conditioning, even the 'open air' ones so cool air can fill the barn! VRTP clearly cares about our barn experience, so thoughtful of them. On another note how do we think Kansas Twister will operate off peak, requires 7 staff to run 2 forward ops/restraint checkers, 2 rear ops, 2 groupers/restraint checkers and outside grouper. I can't see VRTP putting that many people on one ride that realistically won't have a queue over 10 min due to its exceptional capacity.

Jungle Rush opened today around 3pm. It had a brief downtime of about 10 minutes and had a 30-minute queue it had a few other moments of downtime and was cycling empty. The atmosphere was great, and the ride seems to have received a pretty strong, positive reception!

Until Boxing Day

Movie World's first batch of attraction maintenance for 2025 has been posted. Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster is scheduled to reopen on 2nd of June

Motocoasters "maintenance" end date has been pushed back again

Does anyone know what’s going on with the Giant Drop at the moment? Only the side facing the M1 is operating, while the side facing Coomera/GC Train Line doesn’t have any cables, gondola, or catchcar assembly attached to the tower. Also, at the bottom left of the picture, there seems to be some sort of cylinder, any ideas what that could be?

I was there on Wednesday and we weren't allowed to do up our seatbelts the whole day. Most restraints already have the fail-safe built in. However, if I recall correctly, only two accelerator coasters don’t have seatbelts, and both of them use a completely different train design (T-bars). Maybe it’s a case of the current restraint system, which was designed and developed in the early 2000s, requiring seatbelts? Not sure, just a thought.

The seatbelts on SE are completely unnecessary, they can be undone at any point in the ride. Essentially a piece of mind feature. If they're not needed on a ride don't have it. It slows down ops. FSF was delayed due to the secondary restraint locking system (the seatbelt) it's a clever, completely custom design that doesn't allow for the seatbelt to be undone during the ride.

They're seperate

Staff now shout, "Do not touch your seatbelt," when loading on Superman Escape. They now buckle the seatbelt for you.

They tried this at Universal Studios Japan from 2006 to 2011. "This mini-land, inspired by L. Frank Baum’s hit children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, invited guests to experience the magical and iconic fantasy world. Including areas themed to Munchkin Town and the Emerald City..." Sounds familiar? Seemed like it had some decent entertainment with the land too, a Wicked stage show.

I've heard Trident has reopened, the parks maintenance schedule lists it as closed however queue-park says its open

Six Flags Great Adventure has officially retired Kingda Ka, 'The King of all Coasters'. After 19 years of operation, the ride, which opened on May 21, 2005, leaves behind a legacy. It was the coaster that ended the coaster wars. At its debut, it held the titles of the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster, and while it eventually lost the speed record, it remained the tallest coaster in the world throughout its lifespan. A press release has been issued regarding the future of the attraction: This makes me wonder about the future of Superman Escape? It’s 19 years old this year and will hit its 20th anniversary next year. Will next year be its last?

Monorail! The game is definitely better than I expected, some of the stuff that can be done in game and with waterparks seems awesome. Seems so far that its a true sequel. Also, increase your games resolution it'll make everything look sharper but depending on your system it might slow the game down a bit.

Saw this on a Facebook Group, I guess we have sort of a timeframe now.

$35.8 Per Park ($179), or $28.43 Per Park for 7 Days ($199), or $109 for one day. If I was Interstate coming up for a long break I know which one I would choose. How much do we think the 5 day pass will go up by, kind of a no brainer at that point to get the 7 day.

Another price rise - December 10th
