The Off Topic Topic

 All these seats out of action I believe the park is being cheap. They just leave everything broken and then fix it all at once. Also think they have stopped the overnight maintenance teams which means the seats won’t be fixed until planed maintenance. Pretty well every ride today had 1-2 seats locked out.

 

however the claw should not have 8 seats out already because it’s just had its strip down and rebuild. Park probably not wanting to spend money on new parts so instead it’s cheaper just to close the seat.

What could possibly go wrong with a seat though? They all go by a centralized harness controls, the only thing I can think of is the seatbelts starting to wear???? 8 seats closed is total BS. They were all fine before the maintenance. That's 1/3 of capacity of the claw gone, now they are wasting money on power when there is a 1/3 less people riding.... just idiots.

I'm not going to criticise them for closing something that they're not 100% certain is safe.

Giant hole in the wall at arkham asylum? I wanted to ride it next week and see how smooth it is after maintenance

The station is both load and unload, trying to picture where a hole could be as i think its mainly brick.

By "Giant Hole in the Wall" are we referring to the Maintenance roller doors just rolled up?

Sorry just went through pictures and that seems to be what the whole is

So i went to movieworld today and here was a few things i noticed

- Green Launtern Did one Or Two test Runs

- Batwing was open for an hour then closed for the rest of the day

- surprsingly most of the effects were working on justice league

-Most of the photo ops were $20 which i found stupid

Also The lines were pretty long but after around 4:30 all the major rides became walk ons

Each character generally has one pre-paid photoshoot per day. Looney tunes have two i think. But they all have free sessions. You can get a appearance list from the Photo Centre.

This is generally due to people getting a seat for the 5:30pm Parade.

From what I saw, Batwing was closed all day, with mechanics working at the top of the tower most of the day. Superman was experiencing some issues which resulted in an unload just before the launch too. 

Please, for the love of god, spell Green Lantern normally 😫

About as accurate as a half-arsed Google search.

Now roachie, people have told me this numerous times so I am gonna tell you. Do not re-quote text from the message above your one because it’s just continuing the conversation.

Yes

Is it a really bad to do a following reply re-quote and quoting the whole post when you are only replying to a small part?

If you are replying to the previous post and you’re only replying to one point is it ok to quote the whole post?

 

Example provided.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I think it's a common sense approach too...

in all honesty, replying to something directly above doesn't need a quote, but if it is quoted, the impact varies depending on the length.

Example 1:

See, whilst I personally would try my best not to do this, especially when the quoted post is directly above, I've probably been guilty of this from time to time (and I daresay a lot of us are probably in that same boat, whether we remember or not).

This isn't annoying.

 

Example 2:

The red section indicated is the quoted text. The green section indicated is the actual content of the reply. The yellow section is the part of the quote that was actually relevant to the reply.

This is annoying.

"You can't quote the post above" has never been a rule or convention we've encouraged.

Quoting the post above is fine. Just use it selectively and don't quote excessively large blocks of text/images.

In this case it's an entire topic devoted to random thoughts and there's hardly a flow of discussion. It makes logical sense in this context.

[red dragin]

I certainly think Roachie's comment needed the quote, otherwise it is just a random sentence which makes sense on it's own.

I read this email today and am trying to work out how you make "awwwmazing" from "awww" and "adorable" ....

Looking at the photo of Sea World used with it the maze part would be in reference to the entrance to the park
