    I'm confused, how do you mean they didn't announce an opening date? Wouldn't the opening date just be the day after the end of the maintenance period? Eg with Serpent Slayer, the maintenance period ends 24th of March therefore opening date is the 25th of March. Am I missing something here or am I some kind of genius?

    Put the facades on the back of the Justice League building As for colours, could you do red supports blue track instead?
  3. Gazza
    Yeah but you cant just make the theming shit to achieve that 😆

    They still have an animation showing the seatbelts and a safety spiel when dispatching so its fair lol. ********** But lets be honest, if they had opened the ride and had put safety footage on the underwater screens you probably would have said it was crap and spoiling the immersion. Safety videos are ok on smaller screens approaching a station. But not on screens and projections that are being used for atmosphere and theming. Note, both of these examples are from Sweden.

    Ok but I think with Hagrids its themed like a motorbike workshop, with random diagrams and repair manuals for motorbikes, with some animated graphics (As is the case with books and posters in the HP universe) so you can make it suit the theme and its not a major screen. The irregular, cavelike screens in the Levi station just dont lend themselves to schematic graphics showing how to board the train and it would break the immersion too much. It's the wrong screen to use. For example on Rise of the resistance: they dont even try and put safety into on the big screen in the hangar bay They dont put the safety info on the screen with kylo ren (even though you are locked in that room with nothing do to) Instead they do it on a smaller screen where it makes sense. The type of screen that looks like is used for showing status of the ship system, so it doesnt look out of place to show a seatbelt in the car as part of that system. @Dean Barnett when making suggestions like this, you need to think about WHY they would have done it in a certain way or in a certain place on another attraction, not just the fact they did it in the first place in general.

    What makes it a 0% chance of something happening though?

    I always thought the best comparison was Green Lantern Versus Abyss: For what its worth, this is probably the best i could come up with: DCR vs Leviathan – High Tier Coasters SE vs ST – Large Launches MCMC vs JR – Straddle Coasters GC vs Big Dipper – In effect comparing the old with its replacement (In the day you probably would have done GC vs Arkham or GC vs Sea Viper) Scenic Railway vs Wild Mouse – Wooden Classics Surfrider vs Project Zero – Compact shuttles Bug Run vs Little nipper – Small Family Coasters Sapphire speedster vs Mining Race Coaster – Medium Family Coasters Boomerang vs Road Runner – Larger Family Coasters Speedy Beetle Vs Crazy Coaster - SBFs TNT vs Escape From Madagascar – SFCs Dragon Express Vs Boating School Blast – Zamperla ST80 Abyss Vs Green Lantern – 8 seaters, Beyond Vertical Scooby vs Dingo Racer – Steel Mice, but a poor comparison. Still leaves Storm and the thing at Green Valley Farm unaccounted for.

    Whys is it completely different?
  9. Gazza
    So what about Anaconda / Dragon Mountain / Tennessee Tornado?
  10. Gazza
    Where does it say that?
  11. Gazza
    Who says? RCDB lists them all as a "Custom Looping Coaster" https://rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&mo=8301 You cant just say "GC is the tallest, but actually its not because I'm arbitrarily disqualifying all comparable rides" 🤡

    I would have thought you'd just do a random draw of coasters, and it is what it is, eg could be TNT versus Green Lantern. Well I want to argue because there are definitely people that would like Leviathan over DCR. Heck there are people that like Superman more than DCR which is totally fair too.
  14. Gazza
    See I had it in my head it would have been DCR versus Leviathan since they are both fairly fast paced / newish airtime machines and in the same league. Obviously Leviathan is going to win this...

    Huh? Is ABC not IP?

    What's a MARC Funhouse?

    Paint them pink and make them "Prawns on the Barbie" The kind of look like Plankton as well.

    Doesn't the Gold Coast already have a flying theatre attraction at Dreamworld? This is a general comment, I dont mind if parks get default attractions, eg if a water park puts in a lazy river or some tube rides, yeah cool you kind of expect that at a water park. Or if a dry park adds some dodgems or a disko as some filler. But for major stuff....Hmm not sure If i'd get excited for another flying theatre, since all it would be is a different film and DW already runs different films. Or a halfpipe at LPS. We already know it had heaps of downtime at WnW, and is finally getting relocated. But it's still just an 'okay' ride, not sure if we need a 2nd lol. Overall the above post is pretty much on point though.

    Can you please stop derailing every thread. This is a thread about the current reliability of Leviathan, (given people are often travelling a long distance to try the new ride etc) Nobody cares about your "twitter feed" of breakdowns on a different ride at a different park.

    Looks amazing, but onboard it feels like Doomsday if it were on a turntable. The main gondola of seats just loops and loops in one direction, and then so does every other ring. So you expect the ride to be full of really random movements like one of these. But in reality it feels a bit repetitive and you're just looping and looping, and oh look we are still looping but now I'm on my side. I've heard SFOT is taking theirs out already

    FWIW a few parks seem to have either a wave swinger or a carousel right in the main entrance. Cedar Point and Phantasialand and Californias Great America are a couple of prime examples. In my experience a lot of people tend to pass up these rides in the morning because they are too preoccupied heading to the big rides, and then forget to ride it later because it tends to be the main entrance of a park is in effect a dead end that you dont usually go back to. I think the DW one will do alright because the layout of DW is such that you tend to pass the main entry area often anyway throughout the day.

    I just don't think Australia has a whole lot of meaningful comparisons. We often only have one of everything so it end up being shoehorned.
  24. Gazza
    Why is it a people keep saying that because motocoaster and jet rescue had their trains repainted, that means they are new?

    Just think guys, we still have Kingda Ka.
