    As someone who's experienced the full SNW at USJ, I felt it to be quite underwhelming and a bit too gimmicky. The land has awful guest flow, the stairs that you must go down to walk around the land (to access 2 of the 3 rides, food and merchandise stores) are awful and you will get stuck there as people take photos, the land can only be exited by going up those stairs when you will get stuck again (or you can try to take the stairs up near bowsers castle where the extended queue was overflowing to). Yoshi's adds kinetic energy to the land, Mario should just use regular 3d glasses not those awful AR head weights, and Donkey Kong is just ok (cool concept, just not really executed as good as it could be). The powerup bands are a nice touch and actually work... but in queues that have the 'power ups', you will hear that the whole time going off. Universal must be very happy with this land considering that they've cloned it to 3 parks, and looks like this will be the fourth. I'd say that their Harry Potter lands are superior... and should be cloned, but that's just my opinion.

    I agree with this, I thought it was pretty easy to pick up. I thought the bat sound when you enter the temple was harder to pick up on as I didn't realise those were bats until they were installed.

    When I visited White Christmas last year, the ops team at DC Rivals was doing sub 2 min dispatches. It got to the point that after around 7:30 they were pushing out trains so fast that there weren't enough people in the queue to fill all the seats. I had never seen ops that good, ever at MW. Gates were opened as soon as everyone had cleared the seats and were retrieving their belongings behind the yellow line. Why can't they operate their rides like this during peak times, they're more than capable but just never seem to do so during regular hours.

    Earthstory has updated their Rivertown page, and the thoughtfulness behind the designs and concepts is incredible. This is a perfect example of a clear storyline executed with excellent attention to detail and a park that is fully on board. I've included some of the best photos below https://earthstory.com.au/portfolio-dreamworld-jungle-rush.html#

    What is the safety issue with opening the gates as soon as the train has arrived in the station, instead of waiting for everyone to get off, get their stuff and exit? Other parks, including down the road, don't seem to have the same issue.

    Wouldn't surprise me if they're aiming for September 18th

    With two trains, one train is ran backwards, and one is ran forwards. By already having the trains in these directions it only needs 2 turns on the turntable, whereas one train requires 3 to change direction as a forwards cycle departs the station backwards and returns forwards for the next backwards cycle. When the park is running one train, it completes the innerloop twice and outside loop once, whereas two trains complete the innerloop once and outside loop once.

    That's the only way the forwards and backwards cycles can work, the extra entry into the turntable allows for change of direction.

Rivertown was reportedly 55 million... and they got a lot of bang for their buck.

    Sea World Carnivale 2025 dates have been released, running from the February 1st to March 1st 2025. https://seaworldcarnivale.com.au/ Seems to be a lot of the same as previous years however, Trident isn't mentioned on the Rides & Exhibits page.

    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!
