I was going to buy a 'biggest' pass, but I couldn't fit the giant flag into my wallet, and I don't own a helicopter.

I won't critique the suit - a park executive should be dressed appropriately, especially when fronting the media. The glasses I will agree with - when you're spruiking a sincere message, you need to let people see your eyes.

Too many similarities with Salim Mehajer, too insincere.

Respectfully disagree with the suit. Yes he’s a theme park exec, but the his message would have a greater impact if he showed he was a normal person wearing normal or less formal clothing.
 

The glasses is a big one as well, he comes across as too cool for school, or dare I say it the Mob leader working against the dolphins.

Just found this interesting video on Youtube of 25 slides from around the world. There are some excellent visuals here and they are mostly of slides that I have never heard of. Look for a local slide to make the cut , which is great for Australia and the park in question!! 

Any way enjoy!

I dunno how I failed to notice this until today, but the Big 4 on the other side of the M1 to Movie World have put in a Polin water play structure bigger than the one in WnW Jr. it was already pumping water, so its off they wont open till February.

I understand the Movie World car park is a popular place to visit

 Apparently this is a thing

Whilst it looks unique and would be drawcard attraction, I can’t see regulations here allowing 3 slides to be in the “wheel” at the same time. They won’t even let the next slide leave on a long course slide like mammoth falls  until guest are out of the pool below

What's the coaster in the background at 30 seconds?

The slide was tested in Germany so it may be safe to say that is DC Rivals and possibly Dancing Oscar in the background.

It was built and assembled at the Gerslaur factory not Mack factory. I believe the Blue coaster is Hang Time. Not sure about the other.

Has an interesting ride on SDSC 2.0 on Wednesday night at fright nights. We arrived just prior to park closure (about 4:30) so headed straight in to have a ride on scooby as I knew the line would be ridiculous once White xmas began. 

We boarded pretty much bang on 5pm, the majority of the projection work in the lead up to the Elevator wasn’t working (not surprising based on previous rides), elevator screens worked, however once we exited the turntable room after the backwards drop - there was zero, and I mean Zero lighting. Now I’m used to the lasers being gone etc, but the track usually still has some illumination, but there nothing. It actually made it pretty fun as you couldn’t see anything that was coming at all, bit scary for my 7 year old. It was so dark you easily see the elevator bringing the next cars up as it was the only light in the room. Super strange, but enjoyable in weird way

If it's purple track, it might be Adrenaline Peak (small eurofighter at tiny park in America that has purple track):
