Yeah but it's basically a PS3 with a steering wheel, something you could pretty much play at home... Doesn't excite me at all.

What a great idea! Let's theme it to the Scooby Doo movies...

I've heard loads of rumors, but I don't know of anyone actually getting killed. Loads of injuries though, you have to sign a waiver and there are 'slow' signs on pretty much every corner.

I could've sworn something like this once existed but it was a bit of an insurance nightmare. Ah, here it is!

Yeah, the queue jumping was getting really out of hand... They're actually used to perv on people at Wet'N'Wild... Does anyone know what happens with the underwater cameras in WWW's wavepool? I know the lifeguards have monitors, but does it get recorded or anything? We saw some idiots mooning the cameras, the lifeguards weren't paying any attention to the monitors, but would someone else somewhere be crying out in agony? Just a thought... Expansion, or at least making more room is a good thing... Although am I the only one thinking this year will be a quiet year with something huge the year after?

I get stuck in a loop when browsing this gallery.

Nintendo haven't yet put out an update which does anything against chips. The only game with an update that affects chips was Super Mario Galaxy, which refused to play. This was fixed within a day of the game being dumped, months before it actually arrived in stores. Mind you, it's good to be careful, as it could happen... They won't download themselves so just check before you run them. Simple.

We used to do that, I guess that kid was just unlucky... Holy c**p, that second Tornado video was hillarous! I only expected to see the first two people out of their tube, then another half a dozen came flying past... Would be pretty fun, but seeing though that girl almost got killed, I don't think I'll be trying it. Last time we hit Wet'N'Wild it was the first time we'd be back since they'd brought back the cloverleafs... I was determined not to carry it and tried to roll it... Worked pretty good until it somehow bounced too high and the handle got stuck on the fence. So instead my friend decided to carry it on his head. (The bit where your feet go. The term he used for it was 'Sombrero-ing') Sorry, this video is completely irrelevant, but still funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK4qJmthrl8

It's there every holiday period, although this is the first time I've seen the Zipper there... I'm pretty sure it's only open at night, I remember walking through it on NYE a few years ago.

Long story short, I drove past the small carnival that seems to appear near the beach at Coolangatta every holiday period. Anyway I couldn't spot the Gravitron anywhere and there was the 'Bad Ass Zipper' in it's place... Unfortunately nothing was operating yet though. (Think it opens after dark). Is it the same ride they have at the EKKA and/or Easter Show? Sorry for my ignorance, I know nothing about carnivals...

That's gold! I would like to see something water based, although we did just get SurfRider... AquaTrax anyone? Gazza's ideas would be great to see in fruition, I can't believe you haven't already taken up a job doing things like that!

Depends on your internet speed I'm guessing. I had exactly the same problem when I first got it... Couldn't wait to play it but had to wait an hour or so for a stupid update! My broadband is much faster now, but the updates could be smaller too...

Sure do, I got mine done by 'Gold Coast Modchips', no idea if it's the same guy... He operates from his house somewhere up there, might be Mermaid Beach not too sure... Wait maybe it was Burleigh... *shrugs* You should be able to reach them on (07) 5572 7944 or via email at info@gcmodchips.com Personally, the guy seems a bit dodgy, but I haven't had any problems yet so I guess he does what needs doing. A great forum for anything game related is www.gbatemp.net (More so the technical side of things, although the sight mostly focuses on both commercial and homebrew programs for the Nintendo DS)

Call me an idiot, but I chipped my Wii before the warranty ran out... As long as you don't do anything stupid and get a 'professional' to install it you should be right... (I should follow my own advice) Mind you, I do not condone piracy of any sort, must be for backing up your own 100% legit games! You can buy all sorts of accessories from this site. None of it's official mind you, it comes from Hong Kong but includes free shipping... Took about 10 days for my purchases to arrive.

Was there the other day with our school, half of my friends loved it, the other half hated it... Funnily enough, it broke down just as we were about to line up. Not sure what happened, but they had to manually open the restraints to let people out of the train waiting in the brakes.

Went today, it did feel a bit more intense... They've put up a new higher fence around it, and covered the old water jets with a new timber deck. They've also repainted the wave... I've attached a picture below, but it wasn't taken to show the changes, just a general photo...

Didn't think so either... Last time I went, there was the regular line, sidecar line & front seat... Maybe they killed the front seat one?

After clicking a photo in the pending section, the following errors appear at the bottom of the screen.

Nope, that's the thing it doesn't stay logged in, I'll give it another try... "Sorry, but you need to be logged in to submit content to Parkz. Please register an account and log in to continue."

I can't seem to login either... Do we use our username or screenname? (I tried both but anyway). User profiles aren't up yet/working, only tested Gazza's... Just logged in to the new forums... (Finally!) We've got some more errors if you're interested. Happened just after I was logged in. Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in /home/parkz/public_html/forums/sources/classes/class_session.php on line 490 By the way, is the version of Apache intentionally 1.3.37?

^^^My post is still screwed, if you read it all don't worry, but there's a spelling error I mentioned that remains to be fixed. Cheers!

Have to agree there! The forums frustrate me having to click the text 'roller-coaster.com.au' rather than the much larger header, but I've accustomed to it I guess... Will let you know if I have any problems.I'm guessing the member's section isn't live yet. I miss using thumbnails for gallery navigation... Only seeing the pictures I'm after would be helpful, and probably good for users with slower internet. Any chance of larger or hi-def pictures? I guess I should be pointing out bugs, not missing features. The about pages are all exactly the same, it's a shame you didn't drop the hint of a launch date. (Is it going to stay that way, making it simply for people looking for answers or change once everything gets moving?) The 'Frequently Asked Questions' link goes to the about page too.Aha, first 'real' correction... "Our small team of editors..." LinkFrom the main /rides page, when the '>>all *number**ride name* photos' link is clicked it goes brings up another random ride. (Nice feature by the way, liked the way RCDB works in the same way) The link points to the following:http://www.parkz.com.au/rides/%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cb%3EWarning%3C/b%3E:%20%20mysql_fetch_array():%20supplied%20argument%20is%20not%20a%20valid%20MySQL%20result%20resource%20in%20%3Cb%3E/home/parkz/public_html/functions.php%3C/b%3E%20on%20line%20%3Cb%3E470%3C/b%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cb%3EWarning%3C/b%3E:%20%20mysql_fetch_array():%20supplied%20argument%20is%20not%20a%20valid%20MySQL%20result%20resource%20in%20%3Cb%3E/home/parkz/public_html/functions.php%3C/b%3E%20on%20line%20%3Cb%3E472%3C/b%3E%3Cbr%20/%3Ephotos/-/And it looks like I just screwed my post, I can't edit it! Sorry, fix please.(Oh, it adds to last post when double posting... Woops)There's a bug for you! <br /> I'll leave you to it. (Sorry just testing html, I'll remove when possible)

Sorry to be so damn off topic, but I could've sworn I made that userbar... *Checks for original files* No problem with anyone using it, but I do hope you weren't taking credit for it. /End childish ranting I spent hours researching the Sun Wheel when I first saw it but I forget everything! Are there any kind of restraints or doesn't it rock enough for them to be required? Would be good a competitor against the Sea World Eye... if there was any... I've always been a fan of strange and quirky concepts rather than pure height/speed etc. I wouldn't mind a Vekoma RollerSoaker/Splash Party at Dreamworld or WhiteWater World, and I do remember some rumours concerning one... (Then again, someone also said the ToH slides would pass through the loop on Cyclone).

Aw, no copy & paste! You can't get any sort of discount even if you own a Max Action Pass right?

Will visit next time I'm there... I've been tossing up whether to go or not, but yeah none of the films really appealed to me. I saw some interesting documentary on thrill rides, but that's about it.
