Seems Bikash is still excited

Someone needs to photoshop this for him.

I've seen some of his posts, and i've seen him get excited over a little package in the mail. all will be told in good time i guess.

1. I think it's going to be something absolutely amazing -
2. could be something fairly good - 
3. I'm guessing Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster is going to be revamped (properly this time) 🏰

1 & 2 do not go together.

As for 3, this has been discussed, stabbed, burned, killed, mummified, burned again, the ashes have been pissed on, then buried in a hole 6 kilometres off shore, and then submerged by several thousand tonnes of seawater. For once, it would be great if the fanciful dreamland that goes on inside your head had just the smallest touch of reality in it.

The joke in my message above was obviously not clear enough! 

It was intended to imitate the text from the quote from Bikash.

Since my last visit to the park they have updated the monorail signage, so I think this proves to an extent that it won’t be going anywhere 

[pushbutton]

To an extent, but I've seen buildings painted a year prior to their demolition! 

I still say the monorail needs some fairly serious money spent on it if it's to remain in service much longer. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Bikash has also said recently that the monorail isn't going, and is in fact due for an upgrade.

I look forward to this being true... now... will somebody pass the salt?

The Dr said I have to lay of the salt.

Who wore it better?

Can't see Seaworlds new attractions opening on time either due to Queenslands tough new laws...will take time like Sky Voyager. 

[themagician]

Why do you say that?

Just because it hasn’t started going vertical yet, doesn’t mean it won’t be ready. These rides don’t take that long to install, so I would expect construction to begin after the July holidays. Despite it being only temporary, SkyFlyer only took just over a month from land clearing to opening.

Agree with themagician. I think it's safe to assume that DW got caught with their pants down with SkyVoyager, and weren't prepared for the requirements imposed.

On the other hand, VRTP have the benefit of having seen these requirements come into force, as well as learning potentially what went wrong with SkyVoyager before they broke ground.

SX360 at Aussie world has been delayed as well.

A lot of assumptions going on here that it's WPHS holding up SV.

What else could it possibly be? 

[MickeyD]

That and the fact that VRTP's already adhere to extremely strict and thorough safety practices. The new requirements (at least for them) would be minimal to no difference.

If you go by council records the Private Building Certifier still hasn't completed the final sign off on the building.

Ok. I just assumed that was because the WPHS requirements hadn't been met. Possibly not. 

According to TPSN Creatures of the Deep is now closed and fenced off in preparation for construction to begin.

Sorry... let me rephrase that for you

Both Sky Voyager and SX360 were under construction at similar times, so it seems a fairly logical conclusion that similar things might be impacting them.

 

[Jdude95]

Both also came from similar countries. If the rides are built to their standards and not Aussie standards, there's a lot of reworking that needs to be done before WHS will sign off on it. Especially with the new laws in place.

The quality of the documentation matters too.

Hi, Ive been hearing many Top Spins around the world have a lot of issues and need a lot of maintenance. Can someone confirm if this is true? Thanks

Huss Top Spins or the general rude type?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

...well i'm sure the rude ones receive lots of remedial coaching on how to be less offensive to park guests.
