Best advice for everyone reading these forums who are into roller-coasters is to be cool about educating your non-enthusiast friends and family on things like this i.e. stopping on the lift hill is a totally mundane, routine safety mechanism and can happen over something as silly as someone getting their phone out mid-ride.

Amazing topic, try looking at 2016 for movie world

In general we'd prefer people start new threads rather than having these big rambling mega threads

How's that for news, forumers?

Admittedly he/she is probably a few days late on this topic....But still, youre not a moderator so.....

I'm not surprised the media would capitalise on a roller coaster using its safety feature. After all, after what happened with TRRR, every park on the Gold Coast is on extremely thin ice to the media, and will be so down the track.

it's not new since TRRR though. Since the GL incident, many local rags have made a point of reporting on every little breakdown as a massive catastrophe.

Neither am I, and it's also completely silly. I could be wrong here, but is there anywhere else in the world where the media has been this petty with e-stops and normal operating procedures? Because I genuinely don't think so.

Australia doesn't really seem to have much going on in the way of news. 

Look at the front page of News corp at the moment:

> Creating fear over the potential for the worst natural disaster ever

> Some new air con thing

> Celebrity news 

> Some chicks rack

> More celebrity bullshit

> Some guy killed his girlfriend

> Celebrity news

 

Australian journalism is pretty pathetic at the best of times, but theme park incidents are just another opportunity to spread fear among the soccer mums.

I'm fairly certain after what happened at Alton Towers every little e-stop and operation procedure was monitored closely by British media.
