Whilst both are needed and important additions, especially ST, they need A LOT more over the next 5-10 years before I’d be calling a bright future being ahead.

Agree. I just feel confident that the next attractions will be thoroughly thought out & will be great additions.

This morning I was invited out to Dreamworld to get a sneak peek of Steel Taipan and a walk through of the entire area. I’ll start out by saying, overall they’ve done a good job with the area. It’s ve

Everyone looks at the POV’s I’ve done and thinks “how hard can it be” and the reality is, to get a nice, clean, rich POV that makes you feel like you’re there requires you to go and test and refine on dozens of rides before you get it perfect. I chat to other blokes who do it overseas and we’re all forever trying to chase the perfect rig. I’ll let you know when someone finds it.

@Slick your AA video is a perfect example of this. It was such a rough coaster and you managed to capture one of the smoothies POVs I’ve seen

And I know you did quite a few at DW too, so I’d like to think they’ve have you back to capture one for ST. Unfortunately based off your posts the other day, that doesn’t seem likely

Fair. That time it was someone who messaged my page saying they saw it, I trusted their message and shared that. This time, it’s someone who I’ve been in contact with for years and has provided reliable information every time

At this time, it might be easier to add a standard footer to your post.😂

Was just leaving the park and saw some more testing. Looks like some dudes (possibly from here) attaching a camera to the train. Pov coming soon ?!

Was nice of them to stop the train right in the buzzsaw station

Anyone think there'll be a chance of this happening on Taipan?

Highly unlikely but not impossible. The triple launch makes it harder to do a natural rollback too. 

Though I'm also very sure this ride computer tracks the speed of the train on the launches and will catch it if it's not going fast enough to make it over the first hill

I've seen a video of the same thing happening to Top Thrill Dragster, and there was reports that Xcelerator stalled on its top hat for something like 3 hours? It's quite interesting IMO that they manage to balance up there so well.
