If you honestly believe that you make more money than Donald Trump by copying other peoples advertising you don't know Trump very well! 

Now who isn't reading for understanding and misquoting because they've taken a single thing out of context?

In the world of advertising, "copy" is basically the text of the ad.

One of these days i'll learn to just let you fall. I don't know why I bother.

There is such a thing as "humour" in some forum posts. 

It's when, actually I can't be bothered explaining it. I'm very busy having a coffee. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Nobody finds you funny.

Nobody understands what you consider to be humour.

I can't believe we're back to the same topic again - but if one person doesn't understand and another does, that's their problem. But if nobody understands - that's your problem.

I'd love to debate this with you, but it's friday, and as most know, i don't visit Parkz much on weekends, so if you feel compelled to respond, ignore the above and just read the below:

Oh sod off.

I just laugh at such garbage. No point doing anything else.

Does anyone have a link or remember the findings of the saftey audit conducted at Dreamworld after the incident. I recall numerous issues being brought up but I can not find any articles stating them. Thanks.

[joz]

Findings come out later in the year.

I wasn’t referring to the inquest findings but the issues found when they did one of numerous audits when the park was closed. I’ve found the article however, thanks. 

• Green Room Waterslide — the "Emergency Stop" button's colour is faded and the label contains the manufacturer's ride name not WhiteWater World's name. 
• WhiteWater World is required to submit a Chemical Register to notify WHSQ of storage of hazardous chemicals.
• The Flowrider ride requires an updated chemical log book. 
• Staff working on the Flowrider are required to use upgraded Personal Protective Equipment (respiratory masks) when adding pool chemicals and should be trained in how to use the new masks. 
• A Flowrider plastic mat connection contained a sharp edge and was a potential scratch hazard. Dreamworld has repaired this.
• Dreamworld requires durable tags for all electrical equipment/tools ("tag and test" tags). 
• A maintenance staff member working on the Escape from Madagascar ride did not comply with "work at heights" requirements.

This was quite some time ago, and judging by the fact that they haven't been shut down, I would suggest Dreamworld has fully complied with the provisional improvement notice.

This would be a cool addition for either white water world or wet n wild.

I'm a big fan of the "Hydrocoaster" (or Master Blaster as I call it), but I still think that would be a great new addition.

Probably a good way for Wet n Wild to update their offer without just copying something already at Dreamworld. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

What an exciting concept! Don't lose your head over it!

So it's a standard waterslide only with a launch instead of walking up a hill? Cool...

I wouldn't call it cool.  It's a standard water slide where you get to ride tube to the top instead of getting in the tube at the top.  It's the lazy man water slide if anything.

[joz]

Nothing wrong with being lazy. As a design though it looks kinda stupid. Much as I'm not a fan of Supertubes, why not just that but starting at ground level without the need for the big coaster arms of death thing?

[Gazza]

Yeah, the design freaks me out a bit, if you were to  get a limb in the gap beween the paddle and the edge of the slide.

A flat LSM hydromagnetic launch seems better as Joz said.

Also, the layout seems a bit bleh, like why not use that speed for big elements like a wall or a bowl?

@Slick Any plans to film the new Sea World coaster like this?

 

 

 

In other news, that looks awesome.

Quick SW general update

The annoying people are gone for good at SW too

They have gotten rid of the A frame and installed additional signage

The A frame is now being used for this

And here is the shittest part of SW

Breaking news - hat present on WWF drop. 

[themagician]

They’ll definitely need to keep the ride shut for a few months to sort that issue out

Well this has capped off my day.

[Brad2912]

A take my hat off to you for getting that exclusive photo 

[strop]

It is the peak of theme park reporting!

[New display name]

I have lots of jokes about hats.

But they’ll will probably just go over everyone's head.

"They'll will" - @Skeeta? Hmmm...

A-Lexy-B will take you all the way down to Chinatown for that one, careful!
