Tropical Cyclone Alfred - Impacts on the Theme Parks
Gazza replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It's kinda cool to see this system deployed as intended. -

Hey did anyone notice that Dreamworld has started playing the music from Vliegende Hollander around main street. Makes me happy. For some reason I kept thinking it was Pirates of the Caribbean music and then 30 mins after I left the park I was like "oooooh I remember where that's from!". Any other new music that has popped up?

What ride should replace Doomsday Destroyer?
Gazza replied to Prequel's topic in Theme Park Discussion
No the ride actually had a design oversight where the wiring looms were only long enough to reach between sections, so if the ride were ever dissembled, it would require cutting. -
You can have light curtains that turn on when the train is parked. If a guest walks through it sets off an alarm. Meanwhile in Denmark: Funny story, I was in Korea, I was catching a high speed train and i decided to walk to the front to get a photo of the nose cone. As soon as i got near there, an alarm went off and a message in both Korean and English..."You are in a restricted area, please return to the main area of the platform"...I scurried back red faced. It's common to even have CCTV in warehouses which use AI to pick up if workers deviate from designated walkways etc.

I just keep thinking of parks like Tripsdrill, Hansa Park and Emerald Park that have opened rides with concrete shell stations and zero theming:

Personally, I love the visuals of the Kansas Twister dueling boomerang on board, impressive! That's such a short runout includes both a flyby and a racing section.

^Theres not that much space, the track after the station along the "back wall" where the gas pipes break is pretty much right up against the adjacent scene of the car crash, so you might gain like 4m if you did as you describe @New display name

Where? I thought the bit where you park and hook onto the cable was pretty much straight after the turn around the car crash scene. The launch already starts back as far as it can.

For superman, I take the view you could continue the LSMs vertically up the top hat (since its straight on the entry), so no need for a swing launch.

Dunno, then how does Tangerine Twist and Teal Twirler fit in with that? I thought the slide tower they built with Kaboom and Super Ripper was pretty good. Wide variety of slide types, had something for the kiddies too.

Im over here at the moment. Winter is good for avoiding the crowds but be prepared to shift days if cold weather is predicted since some rides can't run at low temps. As far as I know, Everland and Lotte World noth run above zero. Lotte Busan runs at 5c, and at Gyeongju the B&Ms run at 7c and Skoll and Hati runs at 3c. Getting around is easy, download Naver maps, set to english and it gives very good transport directions. Most parks are simple to reach, particularly Seoul land and Lotte World. For Everland, what I did was catch an express Highway bus (bus numbers are in the 9000s) to one of the stations on the Everline. The last station on the Everline is at the bottom car park of Everland, and a car park shuttle runs you up to the park. Basically just put Everland as your destination and itll pop out some directions taking 90 mins ish, depending where you are staying in the city. For Lotte World, Atlantis, Pharoahs Fury, French Revolution and Sinbad all have single rider. I bought my ticket for the park on Klook and there's an option that you can get three express passes, which was useful for comet express and the flume and the Flyventure flying theatre. Have cash for topping up your T money card, everything else I've used credit card by inserting into the chip reader. For Gyeongju World, the park is in a touristy area. If you are coming from Seoul you can get a bus from the KTX high speed rail station. If coming from Busan, you can get a bus to/from the intercity bus terminal. Very easy, i literally walked up to one of the machines, and could book onto a bus leaving in 5 mins time, for 6000 won ($6.60), bus takes 55 mins and more frequent than using the train from Gyeongju to Seoul.

At Funfields will you be able to see the space themed Supanova and Gravity Wave from the volcano themed wave pool and lazy river?
-
You could even continue the LSMs vertically like Storm at Dubai Hills Mall

Hang on a sec, the themed land has to transition at some point doesn't it? The whole park cant be superman themed, nor WoZ themed. What attractions are on the other side of Volcano Bay or Voodoo, are they also tribal/island themed? If not, how is this any different? Actually, I'll answer my own question @TBoy ....If it's ok to Have Gravity Wave / Supernova next to Volcano Bay, therefore it's ok to have Superman next to WoZ.

You can buy them them cheaper when smaller, store them, look after them, let them grow for a few months and then plant when ready.

You forgot: 4. Have mature plants offsite and plant prior to opening, without the need to grow in.
