    Hang on - isn't Pandamonium joining Ocean Parade? Serpent Slayer wouldn't make much sense in that case

    The logo and video are very cute. Nicely done

    Jamberoo has come so far. So sad to hear that the audio and SFX in Perfect Storm weren't working though. That was a selling point for me

    Wow, informative and well researched. So rare for the commercial media!

    Damn, shame Scooby is still down with TPW in the park. They did say they have some flexibility in their schedule, but who knows when it will reopen

    Let's hope the GC parks have all of the top attractions open, and ideally they'd let them film on ride. TPW uses very secure go pro set-up all strapped to his body @Bikash Randhawa

    People talking about space restrictions as an excuse for not adding new attractions. Look at what you can do if you're willing to be a bit creative and spend a bit of money. Grona Lund is a great example. Back in the day LPM managed to fit in not only the Scenic Railway, but also the Big Dipper, Ghost Train, River Caves and numerous other attractions. The question is, does Lindsay Fox want to spend any money?

    Whether they operate it in the wind or not is not going to be a decision based on whoever operates it that day and how 'comfortable' they are; there will be a park determined cut-off point, probably following manufacturer's guidelines etc. The question is whether it would have been different if they'd gone with the original manufacturer, Funtime. It seems they switched to SBF Visa at the last minute for cost savings. I also don't recall Sky Flyer having so much downtime. And wouldn't you have determined this stuff before deciding on the ride make and model? Unless the wind regulation was imposed later through the regulatory/commissioning process?

    I reckon this version is better. Really amps up the song and the visuals: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DeU7x5S47-c

    Bring back the Flash wind effect! That's good to hear. Was the Starro mist curtain even back? And how about the spaceship scene - was the background music back in there? Because it has been silent in that scene for ages, apart from the dialogue from the screens when they are working, and it ruined the atmopshere

    Yeah I agree, definitely think the idea is that the TNT has blown the hole. Hence the black marks around it. Also, welcome to the forums Stevie!

    Absolutely excellent article, as always. Let's hope this experience doesn't put VRTP off their new-found (or maybe that should be rediscovered) interest in heavy theming and show scenes for attractions. I always thought it was strange when we heard murmurs a while back that there would be some sort of show scene in the station. By all means, theme the station well, but show elements should really happen on the ride itself. As the article suggests, the best place would have been at the start of the ride between the station and lift hill. But it sounds like the idea to give it great theming was decided upon after the coaster had already been purchased and layout determined, meaning there was no opportunity for Gravity Group to design a section of track which would have allowed for a dark ride component

    All new rides everywhere have teething issues! They are extremely complex pieces of machinery! Enthusiasts should know that far better than the GP. It's not like SW would be wanting these issues

    Jellyfish Frenzy used to have really nice theming and high tropical planting at the back of it. I guess this was all removed for New Atlantis, but it appears there is still a strip of garden at the back, so is there any reason why this can't return? It desperately needs a separation from New Atlantis by the looks of the photos, so bringing back those high plantings would be perfect

    We can always hope, but I would assume that would need commitment from the owner, and there appears to have been no interest from Lindsay Fox in investing in the amusement park
  17. GoGoBoy
    That seems like a fair explanation. I haven't been to the park in years, so hearing that these areas are in bad need of work puts it in better perspective
  18. GoGoBoy
    It got me thinking with the discussion about the potentially small space available for Jungle Rush, why do you guys think the park is intent on squashing so much activity into that area of the park? When you look at the park map, the massive void areas around Steel Taipan and Rocky Hollow etc. scream out for rebalancing. Do you think it's a cost thing? ie. easier and cheaper to add attractions to an area that is already somewhat built up?

    These attractions are such a classic and so darn charming, it's excellent they're retaining and upgrading. Wonder who the manufacturer will be?
  21. GoGoBoy
    Surely it's going to need a huge area? The mountain in the artists impression looks promising, but then we saw that with Atlantis and it didn't happen. Also 'show moments' is a huge thing for DW. Sadly, even VRTP seems to have given up on that (although at least Leviathan will have a themed station)
  22. GoGoBoy
    The kids themed areas right next to the river never made sense to me, so this consolidation seems right. I like that they have obviously put a lot of thought into the various lands and how it can all be reworked in a more cohesive way
  23. GoGoBoy
    I would have assumed they'd bring back the dodgems as soon as IT is done with?
  24. GoGoBoy
    Ok
  25. GoGoBoy
    Yeah that's fair - it's almost identical. I guess they had the design saved and just changed the text
