Surprised to see no discounts on Yabby Lake wine or Lisa Blue Bikinis. 🤨

In May?

Glad it’s at least had some additions. Been the same for months

Honestly don't get why the parks don't offer a yearly sipper bottle. A new one each time severely defeats the purpose of getting one in the first place.

I completely agree, and they originally did have “Thirst Quencher” when they introduced Hunger Buster.

I think if there was a yearly option the amount of soft drink theft by locals would drop drastically. Every visit I see people with the old blue sippers (a lot missing the rfid sticker).

Regardless of this current family offer it’s cheaper to buy a new all day sipper with One Pass ($7.99) then to reactivate an old one ($8.99).

Ahhhhhh....

Didn't someone from Dreamworld confirm ToT II capped out at like 120km or something on this forum?

[pin142]

Quite a few years ago I heard 130km/h in an interview for some kids show that was being recorded when I was in the park. Wouldn't be surprised if it is less now.

The real speed or the current speed?

Generally reaches anywhere from 135-145km/h.

Give as many fountains as you like, I launched the ride countless times over the years that I worked there. I think I know how fast it goes.

I thought 135 was the current speed too. 

[Park Addict 93]

I heard 130-135 most recently. 


First TopGolf deal/discount I have seen available to the public at large through ExperienceOz (TicketMates). Essentially unlimited soft drink and some wings/pretzels for the usual 2 hour rate.

TG are doing half price Tuesdays at the moment

I can also confirm that ToT II launches anywhere between 135 - 140kph. If the car isn't full it will generally launch faster or make it further up the tower. I have ridden it recently when it was only 6 others on the ride in the back row and well... it made it pretty damn far up. I really wish that when they did the conversion they spent the extra money upgrading the computers like SFMM did. I also haven't heard much about Superman in the US having any major reliability issues like ToT has either...

QFES crews at one of their regular exercises at Movie World, simulating a roller coaster malfunctioning at its highest point. QFES Aerial Appliance Operators and Advanced Rescue Technicians worked alongside Movie World staff to successfully remove all people from the ride.

Just wait for the news channels to take this out of context and create a breaking news headline 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

They couldn't be that stupid when there's an easily verified official QFES social media channel publishing the photos saying it was an exercise....

 

could they?

"QFES simulate a roller coaster malfunctioning and rescuing all onboard since these rides are dangerous and break down often" - some news site
