    I think because of the limited capacity of a flying theatre versus a cinema its too hard to manage to ensure people are getting the show they want. Roxy tends to have enough shows for the crowds, you can turn up and get in (At least in my experience)
  2. Gazza
    Yes, generally it is a good idea to build flat rides that draw crowds, rather than the situation you often see where the flat ride struggles to get the minimum load.
  3. Gazza
    That and Loke and Tigeren.
  4. Gazza
    Sometimes. Why do parks keep buying stuff from Skyline Attractions Inc?

    One approach i have seen that works well is on Thirteen at Alton. It's an old castle ruin but the've put Archeological dig/restoration scaffolding and canvas on parts of the building which presumably covers the unthemed parts.

    What about SWs show buildings?
  7. Gazza
    Lol it's not finished yet.

    Is that the "front" of the temple? it looks like more like the side view you get from the back of the park.
  9. Gazza
    Thats where you can do what Disney (Or Plopsaland as i discovered last week ) does and have themed tunnels with dioramas or whatever.

    The important thing with JR is when you are seeing it from the "Money shot" view coming into Rivertown up near MDMC, you 100% cannot see the show building due to the way the temple steps up, and the fact the building is a sort of wedge shape, so the side walls are inherently not visible. And of course I imagine the closer you get to the ride, the harder it is to see the top tiers of the roof.

    Depends how heavy the trains are!

    The newer SFCs are lap only harnesses similar to ST/DCR, no vest.

    Im not going to speculate on what goes where, but these are what I'd like to see crop up in Aus -Zamperla Nebulaz - Decent capacity, a crowd pleaser, and a certain hypnotic visual appeal https://www.zamperla.com/product/nebulaz -MadHouse. I love these rides. All the appeal of a dark ride, but less space and quite good capacity. Plenty of opportunity to tell a good story. https://www.vekoma.com/mad-house -Powesplash. We havent had a new water ride in a while, and these are actually excellent. Ejector airtime, not too soaking, and the water level is adjustable so you can make it wetter in the warmer months. https://mack-rides.com/en/products/water-rides/powersplash/ -Wing Coaster (Family or otherwise) I like these because they are highly accessible, an enjoyable thrill ride (much like what corkscrew etc used to be like), not necessarily insane intensity, but just a nice feeling of flight and the possibility to have near misses. Id even settle for a smaller one like the one at Legoland Germany, with a couple of inversions as a good intermediate coaster. https://www.bolliger-mabillard.com/product/wing-coaster -Gerstlauer Bobsled large model 610. Basically its 24m high, and has quite a twisted layout. You could put one of these anywhere and it would be a real focal point. Its kinetic. https://rcdb.com/18298.htm#p=124471 -Flying Scooters. Just wish a smaller park here would add one of these, a fun family flat with a bit of interactvity. https://larsonintl.com/ride/flying-scooters/

    Why is it Australian Rainforest? ABC Kids World wasn't Australian rainforest themed. And yeah you can see gum trees from the area but you can see gum trees from Wild West falls.

    What's the lore of WWF?
  16. Gazza
    Weren't they shown on the Today show a few months ago?
  17. Gazza
    It's interesting how long that old Thunderbolt station has held on!
  18. Gazza
    Yeah but lets be honest I'd say most of the reason would be because of the awkward design of riding on a motorbike that has nowhere to stow a bag. Incredicoaster goes over guests and its not like there is catch netting, its all open steel structure that stuff can fall through and bounce off. So therefore the reason would likely be due to the exposed train design of tron:
  19. Gazza
    I think the main callout is that Tron has a riding position that doesn't make it possible to carry bags, though there is a compartment for small things like phones or sunnies. Every other Disney coaster is a normal car with a footwell.

    Ridden Bug Run at Aussie world and couldn't get enough? Cant wait for the coasters at DW and MW to open? Well guess what, you can ride a couple other coasters in Qld this August. First one is Brisbane Thrill festival at Mt Gravatt which will have a Wacky Worm: And then down in Jimboomba Family carnival, the arguably more hilarious shark coaster makes an appearance on the same dates.

    Disney does not have a monopoly on this theme.

    No, Big Dipper is closer than Toutatis: Besides, those gaps are only every few meters between segments, so you would expect a predictable bump-bump-bump...not continuous rattling.
  24. Gazza
    I thought it was because the trains were a bit light so they rattled more easily. I dont think track gaps are what make things rough, else what about rides like Steel Taipan and Toutatis where the cars are passing a non welded joint at high speed on the track switch?
  25. Gazza
    Someone get a panning shot of one train parked in the station with the other stacked on the brakes.
