Different manufacturer?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Or maybe Six Flags chose not to implement the same guideline? Just because two attractions don't have the same rule, Doesn't necessarily mean the harsher rule is the wrong one...

Road Runner Rollercoaster, and Flight of the Hippogriff are both 335M Junior coasters by Vekoma. FOTH is a 91cm height requirement, whereas WBMW not so recently increased the height requirement from 90 to 110cm.

We've seen many adjustments in Australia post-TRRR. In many cases these would be in collaboration with the manufacturer. I see no issue with limiting the age on high thrill rides - for several reasons. Some more mature kids might be able to handle it, but others can't.

Your fountain react to Magician is criticising him, not the content, and it is a negative reaction that is unwarranted when he is simply passing on information from an official park source.

Come on Magician - that's a bit disappointing. Giant Drop, Lex Luthor Drop of Doom, and Zumanjaro are all Intamin drop rides...

@AlexB @Skeeta for some reason I was thinking some of those international versions weren’t by Intamin 🤔🤪

I found a video of someone's construction pictures of Cyclone and a couple Thunderbolt demolition pictures while scolling through Youtube this morning. I thought it would be cool to share. His channel has a small amount of DW content but these photos are probably totally new.

My bet is they're not new. They're easily more than 18 years old.

Wrong thread. Read the one called "The New Atlantis Construction Updates" if you want to discuss the new rides Sea World is building.

Yep because the $50m expansion plan currently underway will deliver no rides.... 

And I’m sure their major capex decision for 19/20 was: should we build rides, or a hut shelter

Note to self. Get up to date on the current happenings in the industry before commenting on parkz...

During an evac of Green Lantern a few days ago this yellow device was used. Can someone tell me what it does ? Just curious

And also, when did they remove the roller doors from Big Red Car at DW?

The ‘sliding’ doors have not been working properly for months... don’t quote me on it but I believe they are working on a better system for them as they seem to play up regularly.

The Gold Coast show is going to have the Largest Side Show Alley ever according to this article.

They should talk to Dreamworld - they need some seating to go with that shade...

You can now pre-purchase Ricks for 2 online with a fairly good discount, still hoping a bulk hunger buster or Ricks Season Dining pass returns (10 pack hunger buster was discontinued in February)

We usually go to Ricks for lunch each time we go to movie world. We did use this offer this time to save some money. Bought the offer online and added it to my apple wallet. 

 

When we went to the register at the entry, I showed the staff member the ticket for the meal deal on my apple wallet and she took a quick glance and gave us the drink cups and said away you go. I asked her if she needed to scan it, and she said the scanner doesn't work for that offer and they just sight it. 

 

That leaves me to think... If i leave the pass on there and don't delete it from my apple wallet and rock up in two months without having brought another deal would they even know? seems they have no way to track that the offer was redeemed.

The only waterslides currently open at WWW are The Little Rippers, Temple of Huey, Pipeline Plunge and Wiggle Bay. No major water slides open currently. I wonder if this is cost cutting or they are continuing the repaints on other slides.

Where is there? 

Context is fantastic.

Towards the end of the recent ParkChat Live episode Bikash (the current COO of Village Roadshow Theme Parks) pretty much said there’s possibly more to come at Movie Word.
