A coaster with a single platform loading and unloading from the same side is absolutely detrimental to capacity (aka. Cyclone). Might as well not bother building it at all if you're going to work it like that. So unless there's separated load and unload platforms like SE you will be exiting from the opposite side but could easily loop under the track (Like GL) back to the same side. It might just be me, but that area doesn't look quite large enough to have 2 platforms in a straight line although that depends on how long the trains are. Or maybe there's a curve between the two? All will be revealed soon.

Funny thing is that I went to the park on the 29th of Nov and it felt like an average school holiday weekday (Not Jan. of course) The closeness to Christmas is obviously driving people away.

Just for fun I did a sketch of the appoximate layout of the coaster on google maps and it came out at 900m. This obvs doesn't include track length obtained from vertical change, nor any other elements. From this, it won't be 2km, but it would certainly be at least 1200-1300 at a minimum.

Is it just me, or is that mustard colour disgusting?

So ya don't burn ya feet

Just a reminder to the doubters that there may be some merits in what djrappa is saying.

I can't believe how seriously we're taking this pic...

Costumes are fine as long as it doesn't prohibit safety and as for makeup, keep it light, nothing that stops you from being identified. And no face masks at all. EDIT: Quote from Movie World Full face masks are not permitted, however you are welcome to come in costume with minimal make-up only;

There's probably only one thing I can say about today and that's Oh my god! I have literally never seen that many people in the park outside the peak of the peak in January. Too be honest, if you're thinking of going for one of your regular visits this week, give it a miss and wait for the QLD kids to go back to school. The overflow carpark was close to full at the peak of the day, all rides (apart from Batwing and DD) were at least a 60 min wait almost all day, and that was with 90% of the staff being really on the ball. Even at 4:10pm Arkham was over an hour. Anyway, being the first time I've been since DD opened up, I'm pleasantly surprised with what Movieworld managed to pull off with this new area. Only irk is that if you go in from the Scooby end you have to walk through the shop as the gate's closed but whatevs I guess. DD will be a real crowd soaker in peak times, considering that with loads of teething issues it pulled through a very good capacity. I even saw Greg out there being taught how to, and then operating it from the booth :P. 2 trains on superman (thank god) however I found fast track, having been sold out, became disruptive with alternating loads (generally 1 load Fast Track, 1 Load Normal) however in the peak of the day, one operator was giving 2 loads fast track, 1 load normal and that got excessive. Most of these people were on Unlimited Fast Track and I saw plenty were just milking it by going on again, again and again. Most staff are really giving it their all for operations though which have noticeably improved compared with a few weeks ago. No real standing around and superman cycles <2 min. Good job Movie World, but hell, I'm not going when its this busy again. Didn't spot ya though Max

There's one lot on page 8 and TPG has some on page 9.

Basically never outside of the summer rush of post boxing day and most of January. Dreamworld has a temp one put up just before Christmas which remains during the peak season.

Break Down most likely IMO. I might be wrong but I'm not aware on any cap on Q4U/RideExpress numbers for rides, so I can't see why that'd be. (Hell, one day I was there the line was longer at the Q4U booth than some of the rides and they still showed as availiable)

That's just the track layout, it's always been like that if you've been near or at the front. The further back in the train you go, the better.

Is that a revamp of the Gold Coast - Theme Park Capital of Australia campaign?
