While we're on the topic though - congrats on finishing high school dan!

Super exciting! I'm guessing maybe this is a refurb more similar to Road Runner?

Because im in the mood to split hairs.... are they counting each individual slide of a setup as a single slide? Aint no way vrtp have 115+ rides, shows and slides (unless they count each individual slide i guess)

42 open today between wnw, mw, sw. Didnt bother with PC. Not counting meet and greets as a show or upcharges 👌 also does  a walkthrough animal exhibit count as a show? I didnt include them 🤷‍♂️

I’d hazard a guess they are including every show at all parks (all the keeper talks etc at PC, the little 5min shows they put on on Main Street at MW, and dolphin shows). 

Doing that I can get to 89 and that’s only including each wet n wild attraction as 1. If I counted reach individual slide as 1 then you’d get 26 more if you also included the new slides taking you to 115.

Both the backwards seats on dc rivals are down. Won’t be back until after school holidays.

Movie definitely need to get the second train back on track so the current one can get some maintenance done on it but I think it’s still in superman’s maintenance bay and was in pieces last I heard.

I haven’t been on rivals in a while, but Is it getting rough/less comfortable because they’ve been using the same train for a while

been on today and it wasn’t too bad, only been up the front but it was a bit shakey

Such a shame the backwards seat are out of action these holidays. At least we get to spend our $20 on a spinning seat instead 😉

But in all honesty, the second train REALLY needs work done. Peak period is coming and we're pretty much in for 3 hour waits like Easter should the second train remain out of action.

I believe the second train has been sitting dismantled beside Superman's launch track since...

After making a quick visit to Movieworld and riding Superman, it's been discovered that one of the trains for Rivals (or what looked liked) are within that little maintenance area to the left-hand side of the launch track (indoor). Found it while speeding past during the launch.

Not sure if its been posted earlier or if youse have already known, but I just thought I'd share.

just got off of superman and it doesn't appear that the parts for the second train are still under the track, also the maintenance bay for DC is open when returning back to the station so perhaps they could be assembling it?

I went on earlier in the week and it was definitely the roughest I've ever felt it.

Also didn't notice the other train in the superman shed, so hopefully it's on its way to Rivals.

When did the superman launch audio get changed?

Only a year ago it said something like "don't worry folks I will get you outta here, fast, superman fast (launches) "

Yesterday it said "don't worry I will push you out of here (launches) "

I've heard the second launch audio for like... the last year.

Yeah I thought it always said the second one? Maybe sometimes the speakers are a bit staticky and it distorts the audio

I've had a mix of both every time since the first time I rode it. I think it's the same audio, just sometimes the launch jumps the gun before the "Superman fast" bit.

yeah i’m pretty sure it’s just a timing issue, cause most of the time once the audio finishes saying “don’t worry i’ll push you out of here” it launches instantly. 

 

update on Rivals smoothness, rode it in the back at the end of our day and that was definitely the roughest ride i’ve ever had on it, got off with my hips feeling a bit sore from all the shaking🥲 

I might need to come in as a guest soon to experience the "roughness" of rivals.

Pretty intrigued to say the least. The Batman train getting all worked up, it's time for it to rest for a little bit.

However, that roughness shouldn't be a problem soon should the Joker train indeed be within the Rivals maintenance bay.

what do you mean by the Batman train and the Joker train?

Both trains are themed identically. 

Staff refer to the two trains as Batman and Joker.

One train has a Batman sticker on the zero car (hard to see, but it's there).

The second train has a Joker sticker, but I am yet to see that.

Paying close attention to the red circles, a Batman sticker is present:

Paying close attention to the red circle, you see the remnants of the Joker sticker:

Can confirm this, even shows on the control panel as Batman / Joker

I don't think the Joker train has a sticker, not one I've ever seen at least. Also interesting to note is the seat numbers are larger on the joker train for whatever reason.

Totally fine good sir - TIL.

Yes I noticed the Batman sticker for the first time on Thursday.
