Front seat on DC rivals is out of order for some reason 

Doomsday destroyer maintenance has been extended from September 20 till November 2. Hopefully Wild West falls will still open on the 21st

Mostly likely because they are waiting on a part to arrive from overseas 

The other thing you have to consider is this would be Doomsday's first major shutdown, considering the arms have been taken off for the first time since opening.  This would typically entail greater inspection detail and correspondence between the park and manufacturer with data and feedback that would result in change that is unbeknown to park at the time of inspection or even the guest once it reopens.

They were being crazy the other day, got told not to slide our belts in, they kept reopening them and re-locking, then sending the train for test at times.

New policy as of a few weeks ago, you are not to do your own seat belt on Rivals otherwise yes, they will unlock it and do it again.

Maybe WorkSafe can just ride for us all together.

Likely a Covid safe plan, with only staff touching the belts.

Kinda pointless seeing as you can touch the belt during the ride etc, and now with cleaning done every half hour, I can’t imagine it would be an issue. Audits get more ridiculous as time goes by with WorkSafe etc

A couple things to note for MW and SW

SW have changed the way you move around Shark Bay. The touch pool is now not accessible at all. Instead you cross the bridge, so left, go down to the viewing, back up then right towards the bridge and back across

 

At MW they now have A frames before the ticket booths stating what rides are closed

And the extended queue area for Superman is massive. It is the entire indoor queue area, stretches towards the AA entry, down this path and then back again.

I don’t know why it’s taken this long to be honest as it’s the way the ride is meant to be operated according to Mack. 
 

It’s so it’s easy to be sure the harness is locking properly and not just being held closed by the belt.

But it won't lock (and dispatch) if the restraint doesn't reach minimum close. The belt is a secondary restraint requested by village and the ride is designed to run without them. 

It’s about knowing the restraint is locked by the fact it is staying down. If the belt is attached it could be being held by the belt and not the lock. 
Nothing to do with minimum close.

I was waiting for the sandwich board sign to return. Thank you for the update.

Superman has a belt, Scooby does not.

My bad about Scooby. One tends to forget what rides have what sometimes when you don't ride them regularly. Thanks for the clarification

Whenever arkham opens...

Holy Shit, the media didn't mention the tragedy. I am actually, genuinely shocked... mainly because the media are the worst!  But then again, they did show rides that are no longer operating... 

Giant Drop will not be open for tomorrow’s reopening unfortunately  

 

 

Ok, so at this point, with TOT, Wipeout and log ride gone, big red car and flowrider to be removed, Buzzsaw, Sidewinder and Giant Drop closed for maintenance, despite the additional months they had to get everything online for re-opening, and the covid-safe attraction closures of

• Mad Jungle Jam 
• Play School Art Room iPads
• Corroboree Face Painting Experience
• Corroboree Virtual Reality Experience
• Animal Experiences
• LEGO Interactive Building Area
• LEGO Mini Figure Station

...we can NOW lambast them for having so many rides closed on reopening, just as MW did.
