The New Atlantis - Construction Updates
I thought stuff just went on YouTube because you can. 🤷♀️ In terms of POV, I'm thinking it would be after Vortex opens right?

The New Atlantis - Construction Updates
https://www.parkz.com.au/photo/9688-Creatures_of_the_Deep/gallery/sort/newest/location/ride-1920/offset/20 Will the Leviathan make a comeback in the queue for the coaster? I notice the train is the same colours as this.

Looks like a couple of full 90 degree banked moments.

New Lawsuit against Dreamworld
DW gets a wide variety of visitors from SEQ (And normally interstate) , I'm not sure what portion comes from the local post codes, but you're basically relying a local resident being in that part of the park at the right time. This is different to something like an incident at a local shopping centre, where people go way more often, and the shopping centre really would be a higher portion of locals, so the chances of there being a local witness is higher.

New Lawsuit against Dreamworld
It's definitely a risk of speed slides. https://www.therme-erding.de/en/tropical-spa-sauna/tropical-spa-water-park/galaxy-water-slide-world/ Check out the landing! Other injuries i sustained at Galaxy Erding included: -Banging my head on the roof at the bottom end of the ski jump slide. -Sliding sideways back first into the lip of wall of the exit hole of the space bowl slide.

White Christmas 2020
I'd rather it be 6am 7.30pm though, nothing good is open or running at 5am apart from gym and maccas breakfast, and only squares want to get up that early anyway....

Luna Park Sydney to invest $30 million on major upgrade, new rides
I think it'll be fairly close to the RMCs, but you're right probably a little less intense. It seems Intamin responded fairly quickly to RMCs design style, starting with Steel Dolphin https://rcdb.com/15797.htm#p=98246 And then seemingly going all out with the Walibi mega coaster and Velocicoaster. I reckon the higher centre of gravity of the Intamin one will add a bit of force too.

So isn't that basically any ride, except for slides from AWL.- Luna Park Sydney to invest $30 million on major upgrade, new rides
Anyone else reckon it was a nod to prior big dipper to have a loop and sidewinder in the same spot? Re future expansion, i wonder what the chances are of expanding onto a deck over the water adjacent to the family shuttle coaster? They could also eventually turn the Big Top into a new all weather ride hall....- Aussie World's New Coaster Under Construction

@HussRainbow87 Actually I did notice that yesterday. I get you're a Huss fan, but to be honest its coming across like Pushbutton when he was "It's not a monorail or a dark ride therefore ill turn my nose up" As @joz said, the Intamin launch coaster would be worth a trip alone, I don't think the capacity will be a problem. GL and Abyss run with 8 person trains at short intervals so therefore a 7 seater at a park that is less peaky like LPS should be fine. Objectivley, for a constrained park they've picked a good balanced selection of rides that will be popular with the public. Signature big impressive flat ride, good launch coaster, good family shuttle and a decent kiddyland. The park has had an over reliance on spin and spew rides until now. I think the only thing missing is some sort of water ride, but that could come in the future.- Luna Park Sydney to invest $30 million on major upgrade, new rides
I didn't even notice the counterweight on the Sledgehammer ride till now, looks like it's the 360 inverting version like the paperweight at Aussie World / Stratosfear at Rainbows End. https://www.parkz.com.au/photo/14762-Stratosfear/gallery/sort/newest/location/ride-2863-Stratosfear/offset/2- Luna Park Sydney to invest $30 million on major upgrade, new rides
I've been on Gipfelsturmer back in 2018 https://www.parkz.com.au/parks/DE/Ruhpolding/Freizeitpark_Ruhpolding/ride/4157-Gipfelstrmer It's actually slightly wild for a family coaster, very forceful first turn and transitions. I thought it was better than a regular roller-skater of Roadrunners ilk.- Luna Park Sydney to invest $30 million on major upgrade, new rides
So to summarise the 9 new rides, it looks like. 1-Intamin Hot Racer 2-Gerstlauer Family Shuttle 3-L&T Mini Coaster 4-Samba Balloon 5-Zamperla Discovery Revolution. 6-Midi Ferris Wheel 7-Crazy Submarine 8-Bounce Around 9-Jumpin Tower 16 Am also looking forward to riding "Commercial Building"- Luna Park Sydney to invest $30 million on major upgrade, new rides
Also. Australia has too many Gyro Swings. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot.- Luna Park Sydney to invest $30 million on major upgrade, new rides
Holy crap, good work LPS, very happy to see this! Overall a good layout, particularly towards the end, i would have liked to have seen them spice up the bit between the first and 2nd launch, eg slightly more aggressive hills, and a wavy launch track as seen on Pantheon. The 2nd largest coaster appears to be a Gerstlauer family shuttle coaster, and there also appears to be a clone of Klein Tsar / Veggie Tales Sideshow Spin: Good choices all around!- Disability and theme parks
Have a loading point like on Supertubes at WWW or the Breakers at RWS. A short belt that pushes rafts in. Many manufacturers offer this as an option. IMO if i had a park i'd make it the standard on anything involving a raft.- Steel Taipan Construction - Dreamworld Mack launched roller coaster
