Awesome pics.

Anyone still wondering if this ride is any good? Zoom right in (no, closer) on the faces in the above pic.

Haha you're absolutely right, great point. Pure joy and fear!

@Glubbo That pic is my favourite.

The Australian GP are not ready for this ride. I can imagine a lot of people so far actually won't know what hit them after that first drop.

My concern is a lot of people won't know about the ride at all. If I wasn't a park enthusiast and member of Parkz I wouldn't know that Australia's biggest and best ever theme park ride had just opened.

@GoGoBoy Yeah absolutely.

I don't know too many people who know of its existence outside of people who live in Brisbane/GC and enthusiasts. I have faith the ride will just speak for itself and in a few years everyone will have had a friend who's ridden it and raved about it, but the initial marketing has been pretty much nonexistent.

Can't speak to other states or areas, but on the GC it's had a lot of coverage. Advertised on radio in almost every ad run during breaky/drive Time peak, cinema advertising, tv, bus shelters, billboards etc 

^ Yeah but this deserves a major national campaign. Rivals and everything else they've added over the last couple of years is enough reason for interstate families to plan trips. Maybe it's coming but I know I would've done things totally differently.

That last shot is really, really cool. Look at the height difference between the two signs! Would've looked cooler if the track was lit up though.

It's bizarre - as far as I can tell Village Parks doesn't value interstate business much anymore. It's rare to see an ad down here, especially one advertising a new attraction. Years ago everyone knew when a park installed a new attraction.

Yet in Perth I get adds for a Season Pass at Dreamworld.

@Flynn_Smith I only had my phone on me, so was hard to get a shot with the track lit up, and the Joker and GL shown clearly

The social media coverage from guests is doing a stellar job in lieu. So many people are posting about Rivals to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram while in the queue, post ride and even the car park. 

I caught a video billboard on my way into work in Upper Mt Gravatt with Rivals on it, right before Logan Rd merges onto the motorway... hard to miss....

so it isn't limited just to the GC...

Is this thread ok for video content as well? 

That's what videography is... 

To be fair @Brad2912, at the time he asked the question, the thread title only said 'photography'. A kind Mod has added 'videography' to the thread title, but hasn't commented to advise of the change.

Haha.. fair enough! 

I got a lot of mobile video of Rivals in action from inside and outside the park (on the new footpath mainly). Dunno why, but most of it I shot was using the slow-mo mode, and decided to put them together in a video. Then I just kept going. Believe it or not, I made this entirely using iMovie, apart from the title screen (made in Photoshop).

Hope you enjoy.

 

From tonight.
