If bind is the correct term then I think it does bind up a little.  I can't tell if the rider keeps it going or the momentum pushes it past the bind. I suspect it’s the swinging causing it to bind.

Easy mistake to make...

[Reanimated35]

In case you were wondering anyway, here's some of the maintenance schedule for 2015

[T-bone]

If the operating hours are to be believed, it looks like the Railway has had its operating hours reduced.

They can't even get their links right. Since when was Seaworld a "popular gold coast (gc) beach?"

Wet N Wild was slightly busy today lol... this was the line not long after 10pm!

Apparently it went all the way back to outback spectacular ? Needless to say the queues for attractions in the park were pretty crazy.

Plus I think their Wave Pool is desperate for some maintenance, it seems to be working very erratic lately. During both visits recently, there has been wave cycle announcements with no waves following. After one today, everyone screamed and ran into the pool in excitement, only for nothing to happen and we had to wait for another 10 minutes. Then a second announcement, where the waves finally started. They only went for a minute or two, then stopped. Then a minute later the announcement came on again and the waves started again. They stayed on for a few more minutes (definitely not long) and then turned off again. Shoulda seen the mass crowd that walked out in disappointment at that point! 

I brought it up to a lifeguard who said the waves are in 10 minute intervals (duh. Already knew that ?) and then when I said the waves had been stopping and starting randomly all afternoon, she claimed they stop the pool if there is someone drowning, but believe me there was definitely nothing of the sort happening in there.

Ive been visiting that water park for years and I know how it's *supposed* to operate. And it definitely hasn't been working very well of late. 

Fix your pool please, WnW!!!! ?

If the park (and the pool) were as crowded as you say, I would be prepared to give the lifeguard the benefit of the doubt on the E-stop. People duck dive and ass-clown around in there a lot. If there are so many people in the pool the lifeguards don't have the time to wait to see if they're joking, they may be more cautious. Nobody wants to have a drowning when they are responsible for it, so erring on the side of caution can't be faulted. I've seen the pool E-stop several times in a row for that very reason - bunch of ass clowns ruining it for everybody.

Great day to visit Movieworld today, guys! Most rides have been walk on this morning, with the exception of SE which was a 30 Min wait. But the queues to pretty much everything else have been empty. Even Scooby was a walk on???

I just saw this on facebook... *cringes*

This was not directed at me, nor do I know the person who sent it, only the person it was directed at. If I knew the person who sent it I would remove them from my friends list for this. Their grammar is bad enough to turn me away.
