  1. I don't think Richard'd appreciate me talking about Zen Coaster on here so feel free to hit me up on MSN. matinee_mobster@hotmail.com is my address. Yeah it was a bummer. That's the second time something like that happened. Years ago I went to Universal Studios Hollywood - would have been around '92-93 - and the Back to the Future Ride construction was underway. Have always been a big BTTF fan and so to be so close and yet so far was torture (particularly being a little kid). I had to resign myself to getting a picture of me with my stepsister next to the cartoon Doc & Marty that was on the construction fence. Went back in 2000 and raced straight there This time it was of course open. And February last year in Orlando, it was with much pleasure that I did the BTTF one there.
  2. http://au.tv.yahoo.com/searchresults.html?...amp;x=0&y=0 Monday Nov 13 2006 Time Channel Program 08:30AM Discovery Science Building a Thrill Ride: Expedition Everest - (G) 12:00PM Discovery Science Building a Thrill Ride: Expedition Everest - (G) 08:30PM Discovery Science Building a Thrill Ride: Expedition Everest - (G) Tuesday Nov 14 2006 Time Channel Program 12:00AM Discovery Science Building a Thrill Ride: Expedition Everest - (G) So a few chances for recording then. Looks like it'll be a good doco, definitely tuning in. When I was at Animal Kingdom in February '05, they just had the steel shell partially done and a concept painting to tease me. Next year when I get to Orlando, that'll probably be my first stop.
  3. I know what it is. And it'll be a brilliant addition
  4. We do pump people through really quickly on Tornado so you won't have to wait terribly long on any day. I think the fact there will be live music will probably bring a few extra punters but it shouldn't make a huge difference to the numbers & on the busy days this past week we didn't have problems keeping things moving. Yesterday I got to do two rotations on Tornado which is good as it's definitely my favourite ride to operate...
  5. I think Saturday would be pretty fine -- the word will surely have been out that the Tornado was open early. What other days do you have to choose from? Why not Monday? Tuesday would be also be good.
  6. Ok. I leave here at 9 to start my shift at 9.45 so you'd have to be on before then.
  7. Oh no, people don't like skateboarding/blading/BMX/live music do they?!? And good on them for trying to do something a bit different. If a few of them are there to find themselves someone of the opposite sex, good for them. They're going to do that anyway. At least WNW will be a safe place for Schoolies and girls won't have to worry about the prospect of drink-spiking, sexual assault and the like...
  8. I'll talk to you about this privately, James, but I can throw a pass your way so you'll be able to get in for free.
  9. I'll do it for free in exchange for front-row privileges & queue skipping whenever I like. I can't guarantee the safety of the public or current ACTIVE attractions though
  10. Most of the time it's like so... attendant: top of the slides/attraction; lifeguard: The bottom.
  11. I'm an attendant but will be doing lifeguard training and transferring to that position when the next opportunity presents itself. The recent intake brought a heap of attendants in but not lifeguards so there will definitely be call for them. I should be there on the 18th. 17th I have off but they seem to like employing me for both days of a weekend and about 3/5 weekdays & I'm on this coming Monday so maybe they'll repeat the pattern, at least for a few weeks. I'll let you know. If I'm not working on the 18th, I could just come hit the park with you and any others from the forum that you end up meeting.
  12. And be sure to come say hello to me I'll be working 5-9 next Saturday night and, going off my current roster, during the week will probably be 9.45-5. We get rotated every 50-60 minutes, sometimes a bit less regularly so I'm sure you'll find me at some stage...
  13. And my point, which you don't seem to grasp is, that I say I will do it because of intentions but things come up. It's not a case of me saying I'm going to do something I won't be.
  14. No, it's not starting to get like anything. Fact is, none of the many people who work hard to provide you lot with updates don't have other priorities and things do come up sometimes and so plans can fall by the wayside a bit.
  15. Sorry man, have had a 1000-and-1 things on. You'll see them tonight or tomorrow morning.
  16. It's right by the railing overlooking the river. Not a HUGE footprint but then it's not trying to be the Disney tea cup ride nor does it have to be. Will have some pics up in next day or two.
  17. Thanks. You could do an Brangelina and adopt an African one... Actually that would come in handy for myself, particularly since I could then go ride the Pteradon Flyers at Islands of Adventure.
  18. And let's face it, anything for Wiggles World will only flesh it out more and hopefully get some more kids there. When IS the area actually full of kids? Whenever I pass through, sure you might get a few parents lining up with their children for the Big Red Car ride or a few in the Fun Spot but I *never* see anyone on the ship, door or hanging around the central area...
  19. That's what I was getting at by 'oh wait'... ...
  20. Thread Delivers! Voted 5. Hope this gets Goldmined!
  21. Maybe they could be genuine DVDs of Warner Bros movies made up to look like crappy pirated editions.
  22. A coaster about a farting dog??? Oh, wait...
