Hyper coaster is stuck mid course. Train was empty but due to the wind it did not make it through the loop.

Now we just wait til Superman or Scooby go down for maintenance.

Yikes, would be pretty pissed if I visited on a day pass atm, imagine paying $100 to visit a park with only 1 major attraction operating. You could say its a string of bad luck but with the amount of times the park is running at half capacity the last couple of years its getting harder and harder to have sympathy. 

if true, looks like Superman (if open), Scooby, Doomsday and Batwing will be covering the park for the time being… what a shame

all 5 and Superman’s also having some issues yesterday and early today by the sounds of it… Doomsday and Batwing may be carrying the line up for a bit🤷‍♀️

In relation to DC rivals being stuck mid course before the loop. Does anyone know how long that sort of thing takes for them to fix? 

I assume it has to be towed back to the station somehow? or is it more of an operation where it is craned from the track? 

If it didnt make the loop i dont think it could be towed, so the latter I guess.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them disassemble it where it is. Towing it back sounds like a long and difficult process, but they routinely take the trains apart for maintenance.

It's okay everyone, all hope's not gone yet, you can still meet Tweety!

Managed to snap this tonight. Whoopsie

hopefully they can sort all of these ride closures out within the next two weeks, if they all still remain closed in the holidays that’ll be embarrassing…

Appears as though both rivals and Scooby will be open today. Neither are listed on the under maintenance page anymore. 

Must have been a hell of a gust of wind for that to happen, thats just really unlucky

In a way it shows how incompetent our local journalists have become - they all drove past a valleyed roller-coaster that was in plain sight to cover a news story about another valleyed roller-coaster that they had no chance of seeing.

Even the language I saw being used was clearly heightened to get clicks - “rescue”, “trapped”, “stuck,” “movie world blames guest” - like give me a god damn break.

I was thinking the same thing TBH. I would have thought this would have been more newsworthy lol. But it’s not really, as far as I’m aware the train was empty when this happened anyway.

Movie would just updated their page….

Scooby, rivals, WWF all closed today in addition to the others already closed. 

Not the best week to be visiting the Gold Coast for the coasters! What’s the likelihood that Rivals will be operating later this week?

Yet, just going on to the main page to see what's open (like, I'd imagine, any usual guest would), the only one displayed as under maintenance is GL. You've got to go into each one's individual page to see the little 'Planned Maintenance' footer.

That's on the 'Maintenance' page, I know they're all displayed as Under Maintenance on there. I'm talking about the main 'Attractions' page, that one only displays GL.

That’s great. I’m just pointing out that 4.5 major rides are closed today. 

So they have Batwing and Superman as the only operating thrill rides today

Doomsday too.

If tickets aren’t discounted i feel so bad for the guests visiting today
