HI, In the disco part of scooby there are ride-ops that have small enclosed booths that are place out near the brake runs so when the ride dose breakdown they can access the carriages to be evacuate. the ride-ops on standby all were special harnesses that attach to the walkway platforms which sit next too the track in the brake sections (which are around about 6-7 of these) and in the two elevating platforms, when the ride needs to be evacuated the ride-ops walk to the carriage and then one by one unlocks the lap-bars, after being released you are told to follow the walkway to the exit doors which in this situation are clearly lit Once outside, you make your way down the stairs and follow a yellow line which will lead you back too the park. (when superman wasn't there lethal weapon had evacuation from the q-line which led out the back where superman is now, you can still see the yellow evacuation line painted on the tarmac) I must say it pretty exciting to breakdown on Scooby, you can see how far you are off the ground especially when in the elevator. oh and another thing about the elevating platforms, say you were on your way to the top in the elevator and the ride broke down, the the elevator still continues to the top so the ride-ops can evacuate you. Zane.

so whats made out of what, is wild west falls - carved polystyrene or concrete DULIN DRAGONS sculptures - carved polystyrene or concrete big thunder mountain - carved polystyrene or concrete and dose anyone know how i could make a concrete fake rock (like disneys mountains?) (and if anyone knows a website about this stuff please tell ) thanks!

hey, just wondering how they make fake things like wild west falls and scooby doo coaster fascade and also large models like the dulin dragons entrance here are a few links to what i am talkin about http://www.ridezone.com/parks/fl/usf/ioa/dd01.jpg http://www.westcoaster.net/gallery/albums/...05-wbmwa009.jpg http://www.mma.ipb.ac.id/docs/event_images/aussie27.jpg thanks!

hey, went to looney tunes xmas last night, really good night there was snow on main street and also falling (snow machine which really makes tiny littel bubbels) from the dark sky. lots of people there, the lines were very short due to the 2 trains running for the holidays, but batwing was packed, i say it would of been a 20-30min wait . red and green light every were. it was a really good night and was highly themed! good job movie world!

well here it is!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1hkHx6bHN8

yer, but that was 4 day ago, alot can happen in 4 day's

really? why are they saying boxing day? is the fence around it gone?

no, it still is a construcion site just called mw and it will open on boxing day, the website was a typo

no, its still a construction site

yes they were testing yesterday and training staff that also went on and the park engineers did too, it's a very fast ride ride, over in like 5sec and then it just bounces back down, thats it, the theming is done, however the bat car is not at the arch yet but the other car is (around the other side) its brand new too. they were instaling the exit path gates and around the ride itself I was talking to a worker there and he said that when it goes up 3-4 meters off the ground to weigh the car, there will be steam/smoke that goes off that smothers the car when just about to launch, it will really add to the themeing

looks like i'm off to movie world tomorrow!!!!! (i cant wait to see this thing in op!-so excited)

so would you say it will be in test mode on saturday?

DO YOU'S KNOW IF IT WILL BE IN TEST MODE TOMOZ? (SATERDAY)

how did you get a 3d rendering (im trying to make this ride in no limits)

are you sure, how did you get that length

hi i wondering how long is se horizontal launch track, i know that the catch car disconnects itself when just coming out of the building so what would you say the length would be from the building to the top hat? and how long the launch track building is (from the queue entrance to the end of the building where the track comes out???) thanks guys

well it says on the maps there handin out at mw the 24th (i think) and it said that it will be open for the loony tunes xmas party on the 23rd (night time)

JUST LOOK HERE, IT WILL EXPLAIN IT ALL:S&S power combo ride tower, aka-batwing

yer, i dont know that one i'm wonderin to???

well see you guys know more than me, so continue the answers and i will just read (give me a rest, I'm only 14 years old and i don't know every thing, but once i become an engineer i will return with more knowledge about theme parks) (above funny it sounds like some villain "i will return" )

oh yes! Supermans brakes well they are brass plates that are connected to the track and there are two strips arranged like this "II" they are very very strong rear earth Mag's that are connected to the bottom of each car on the train. as the train comes into the brake run the brass plates connected to the track slides between the two magnets under each car, triming the speed slowly making a big Woossshhh sound as it slows. these magnetic brakes use eddy currants which when the magnets passes over the plates the plates oppisites the direction the object (train) is moving, creating a very smooth and quiet stop with no jolting like other friction brakes and for the vortex, yes i know it uses lasers, but i was wanting to tell people how to create this effect at home

today im going to talk about the effect that is used at the end of the ride, "the green vortex" heres a great link to re create this simple effect at home vortex effect

i got it from a lot of ride op's at movie world they all said that it will launch you up there and then you will sit up there for while than faling faster then gravity back down

the bat wing ride is not really a space shot even though the name insists it is, it really is a combo tower ride, it will launch you straight up after it weighs your car and then once up there you will stay up the top for a short while and then it will then pull you down faster than gravity

"Wait, i thought you had inside knowlege or something. Are you posting up what is known to be true, or what you think is true?" well a bit of both really, most of the effects are facts as i study them and the rides too (just not that good on the whole sensor think though ) here's a good link to tell you all about the sensors sensor systems
