    Did they really need to incorporate a loose item system? We didn’t have it before, hoping this doesn’t stuff up operation loading times as this ride is a people eater, this will just slow it down.

    My assumption was that a hole in the wall between load and unload would be where the storage box would be slotted into where belongings would stored by people loading and be able to be picked up by people unloading, kind of similar to how JR loose storage works. Fairly unrealistic idea all things considered taking into account how many people could be in load and unload at the same time leading to congestion on both sides of the boxes but nothing else really makes sense.

    So how exactly would that work with a separate unload/load station assuming the ride operationally remains the same?

    Taken from TPO newest video, looks like new operational procedures are to be in place for SDSC with the mention of Assigned Colours. I haven’t ridden the ride in the past but I take it that storage boxes are a new addition to the station/unload for bags and the like to be placed in?

    The parks (except for usually Sea World) are ridiculously busy in the last week of school, lots of schools visit as end of year rewards.

    all work walls are down around Scooby with the ride information board now also up at the entrance of the extended queue.

    Paradise Country Farmstay is currently tendering out construction work. Will we finally see the first cabin built or is this something else?

    I'd love to know where you get your stats from.

    The castle is looking great once more. I can't wait to get a look inside.

    @DaptoFunlandGuy There is a reason why you are the only person in history, to have their Parkz membership canceled and their money refunded.

  19. Rydah Hi
    While I'm Not at the Park today, I've heard and saw on a Post that The Ride Sign is Back, and it Looks Miles Better than The ''Next Generation'' Sign.

    And it makes absolute sense - there is no MCBR. As soon as the train leaves the lift hill, there is absolutely zero you can do to prevent any mishap or accident until it hits the final brake run, which is automated and failsafe - The train will stop no matter what (and if it doesn't, nothing the operator does will change that). Some genius who has no idea about efficiency decided that the supervisor should stay at the panel 'just in case...' without ever finishing that sentence. They probably got paid thousands too. See - the seatbelt thing at Rivals - I don't agree with it but the liability issue makes sense - physically plug in the seatbelt, do it in front of your co-worker, and you've both witnessed a proper push-pull check of the main restraint lock, and then attached the seatbelt. You've got two people who will testify the harness was down, locked, and the supplementary restraint was engaged. It's why if one loader stops because there is an issue, the other one doesn't keep going. Taipan takes this further - the RFID swipe proves the operator was present for the seatbelt locking and the computer records it. These examples both make absolute sense from a liability standpoint. Keeping the RRRC op at the panel until the other train parks is absolutely pointless.

    Rivals doesn't have spinning seats.

    Yep, when it was 2 trains with the old ones the supervisor had to stay behind the panel while the train was on the lift (to stop it if needed) but the second the train left the lift, they would leave the panel to allow people to get behind the gates while the operator would check the single lap bar harness. It worked very well TBH. To run it really efficiently with 2 trains now you'd basically need 2 loaders and the supervisor but that won't ever happen.
  24. Spotty
    They would be pretty much the same, except maybe some under the hood things for the LSM launch instead of the chain lift. Maybe a few *minor* tweaks as there's a few years between them but nothing major at all.

  26. DaptoFunlandGuy
    Other than the RFID scanner on Taipan, I thought they were essentially the same?
  27. DaptoFunlandGuy
    Sounds like efficiency has gone down if the supervisor performs harness checks but can't leave the panel until the train reaches the brake run. You might as well just run one train. So yes, the dual harnesses would reduce throughput as the supervisor needs to check their side.

    It's been cashless for a while.
  29. Baconjack
    I'm sure there will be some productive and insightful discussion on Facebook over this

    100% it would have caused some changes, however to what extent I wouldn't be sure. I'd say right after the incident things would have been very strict for a while before loosening off a little bit. However I feel that the parks are still being a bit over the top, how much of that comes down to corporate (and staff just not caring) or procedures enforced by over-cautious insurance is hard to say. I'd say it's a combination of both, but also possibly due to workplace culture. When you have management that actually cares it shows, because staff want to actually be there if they are being treated well and respected. Something that the Dreamworld management seem to be very good at (And having worked at MW during the time that they were running things, they actually really do care about their staff)
