Why does the Giant Drop lettering here look like placeholder text?

My understanding is because they are the same trains from before the refurb which also have the same text.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, Giant Drop elit.

Tried translating this with google translate. Don’t think this is what @biasesumo meant. Is it? “Thank you very much, Giant Drop developer”

Lorem Ipsum isn't a language.... 

[biasesumo]

“Lorem ipsum” is latin placeholder text used by publishing/graphic design companies.

I was making a joke.

And, yes, I made said joke aware of the translation before doing so.

Correct, but Lorem Ipsum still isn't a language 

[biasesumo]

Did someone say it was?

[joz]

Probably not worth it's own thread but question to anyone in the know; is the navigation beacon no longer needed or did it just happen to not be on tonight? First time driving past DW at night for a long time tonight so don't know if this has been a thing for a while?

Who said they couldn’t? They’ve run rides at night heaps of times

I'm sure in one of Dean's many jobs, his industry experience tells him they aren't allowed to...

Are they doing a night event for Winter Fest this year with rides open? 

Edited June 8, 2023 by STRAWS
grammar mistake

[themagician]

It doesn’t seem so. They do reference the night makers on the events page

Wasn't there the usual carry on on here a while ago about running Steel Taipan for an upcharge during the night markets?

People spoke about how it was a bad idea to open your prime attraction at a markets, but we didn’t say it couldn’t be done 

[red dragin]

So it is open for night markets? 

I got the impression it wasn't, and old mate was trying to be sarcastic with the "they can open..." comment.

You are misreading the situation.

There is competition running to win tickets to a re-opening night in a few weeks, on a Friday night. 
There had been no mention of it being open to the GP on the night - may just be VIP, media and comp winners  

Turnstile man is spinning around in circles.
