Yeah, but the brakes can be built above somewhere, and the space under the station could hold the queue and maybe a shop. Another possibilty is a circumnaveragal coaster, such as a hyper, Sand filling and scream tubes would be definitley be needed near the animals, but it could work, It could start near corkscrew, with a lift hill heading south, the first drop would be a curving one over the car park, then a big curve would bring it back into the park, before lots of airtime hills, another turn around at the resort end and the brakes beside corkscrews first drop. Would be an excellent ride but Joz will probably give some reasons why it wont work

What about a ride trade observation tower? The impulse is a good idea, but another idea is a coaster with a fairly out and back layout, it would be narrow so you could slot it down somwhere. A ride to do with mythologial sea creatures sounds good too. Who knows, they may get rid of corkscrew sometime, so that would make some space avaliable, but I wouldnt bet on it.

Cool, that looks awesome, its so fast, but the spin looks a bit slow, cant wait till it opens, I gotta get to the GC some time soon.

PS2 does have more games, but quality is more important than quantity.

Not true, Vekoma has a new train design now which should make things smoother

Has anyone ever been to Dazzeland, which used to be in the myer center Adelaide. It too had a powered zamperla that went quite high above the center and it also, it was named Jazz Junction I think. It had a helicopter type ride (like dream copters), Dodgems, Mexican Mini golf and a really cool indoor playground, I remember going there when I was % or so, too bad it shut.

I know, I just said that. So, is there anymore news on the Street Fighter? was it at the Ekka, and will it be at the melbourne show? Do you know if it will also be at country shows (because its only one trailer)

Maybe because AB had unpadded OSTRs.

Where did the posters go? Do uou have anymore of those park profile posters? I think they look really good because they are colourful and contain a bit of info. A SFMM or a KBF one would be cool, then I could gety a few and put some up in my room. Also, The green you have used on this new site reminds me of AAF, the old lime green looks better IMO, but its your site anyway.

Was it Geronimo you are talking about? That was a Schwarzkopf and it now operates in Adventure World in Perth

Well, theres 32 seats arent there? Maybe they just mean being one of the first but not being the actual first. I would pay to be the first rider for something if I got a T-Shirt, It would be so cool to get ahead of the GP, they dont enjoy rides on as many levels as we do. And what are you reading Cleo or Dolly for anyway? The sealed section?

I was listening to the radio in the car to this radio show called "the bench warmers" anyway, I heard "DW" and "claw" in the same sentence, so naturally my ears pricked up, turns out they are running a radio competition to be the first rider, you also win flights, accomidation etc. Enter at www.thebenchwarmers.com.au

Well, Im pretty sure we wont use a double station or have any tunnels so that could save some money, plus it probably wont use three trains so thats even more off, It could be possible. Plus maquarrie is doing well, If the claw does well, then that would encourage them a bit? On the topic of flyers, which one had the most problems, the Vekoma or the B&M? and how long did they last for? Also joz, what can you tell us about AIR from your ride? is it all its cracked up to be? would it be good for DW? and how does that "restaining vest" work? does it zip up to hold you in? As for B&M being more expenisive than Vekoma, Its the same reason a BMW costs more than a Hyundai

Why go to that effort when you could just get a 2nd hand 64 from cash converters instead of opening the case and screwing around?

No, what we meant from RCT is the way shuttle coasters worked in there, the train would get pulled backward like demon and released, but there would be no second lift, it would just use the energy from the first incline to give it enough energy to do the circut backwards again, which meant a big first lift, but RCTs pysics engine, while sort of accurate, it did have some problems with accuracy, the main culprit was g forces.

You cant put 64 games on Xbox, I can tell you now.

How do you know that the Vekoma is cheaper? Can you show me some figures about the price comparison?

A while back I remember seeing an advertisment on the back of a DW pamphlet for "dreamworlds antarctic adventure", it was located in Hobart. Has anyone ever been there? what was it like? and is it still open today?

Sounds cool, your sites designs are improving with every revamp. So is updating and running TT and RC.com.au a full time commitment for you now?

So, what is your favourite console out of the current crop, Pay Station 2, Game Cube or Xbox. My favourite one is Xbox because it has some good titles, internal HD, its the most powerful of the three and, I also quite like the fact you dont need a multi - tap or a network adapter, plus you can do the custom soundtracks on games. Debate away.....

A drawbridge, now that is a good idea. But out of interest, how much space on the island are we talking about here? What is its length and width? It would be better if the ride didnt go over the water because it would be sad to seen the Paddlesteamer go, the show on it was really good from what I could remember. Maybe there could be a whole new themed area for the island, Maybe medieval with this rumoured flyer to be about dragons. Then the drawbrdige would be an actual feature.

Here is my Idea for a TB replacment, a 5 inversion floorless coaster, The ride fits into the old TBs footprint wiht gaps to spare so there would be no problems fitting it in. I haven't thought of a name or theme so the file is just named Thunderbolt2, any suggestions for names? Attatched is the track file and a screenshot.

Back on the flyer topic, It will be a telltale sign if its coming if they announce the closure of the Paddleboat, if that happens i'll get real exited

At night, does the highest point in the ride end up dry because all the water has gone into the dam?

Wouldnt the problem with a spinning platform be that the gaps betwwen the seats wouldn't always line up with the edge of the turntable making getting in difficult? Also, wouldnt the rafts spin, or end up going along the right hand side of the channel so it would be too far to step over? Another question about SRR I have is about that spinning cone thing on the right side of the channel just out of the station, what is it? I think rapids rides should use a conveyor belt system like on Hafema river rapids rides, in theirs, the boats come completley out of the water onto a conveyor belt which people can actually walk on, which would make getting in and out a breeze.
