    Sounds like good reasons why you would have gaps @red dragin
  5. red dragin
    Are the gaps there to permit fake plants to 'grow' through in various places, smoke/fog to enter the room too, perhaps? As well as lighting effects as previously suggested.

    The holes to outer space. //s

    I've always thought SW could open a wheel up at night, as a restaurant.

    It's not for expansion/contraction. All I am doing is observing the current state of the walls going up and hoping it's not the finished product. Did you read the part where I said I hope the outside isn't like the inside?
  9. BNErider started following Jungle Rush Coaster

    If it's dark behind, you won't notice the gaps. I hope they have some strobes/lighting and fog behind the panels seeping out. That would be cool.

    I agree, however i can just imagine how slow that loading would be on a big wheel.... you want a leisurely trip and would be stuck on it for an hour
  12. deano554
    my guess this part of the ride will be in the dark or low lighting, and you will be moving fast

    There is more panels up then shown in that photo, which is why I have raised the question because to close the gaps you would have to move every panel they have installed. I hope so too.

    Could be purely for expansion/contraction. Either way it will be fixed

    Maybe it's a measure twice, cut once technique. They are lifting everything into place, securing in into position temporarily and then once they have confirmed it's all correct they will adjust as needed to make it all fit perfectly. This is probably wrong, but just trying to think of reasons why they would have it like this. Looking at this picture, you can see between the coaster supports that the panels are designed to fit perfectly together. I'm sure there is a reason for it, but it isn't obvious to me why.

    I would go a big wheel over a flume at SW
  17. New display name
    I hope you're right. I had a sneaky ride on ST, during work the other day and I had a quick look at the coaster and the gaps really stood out. I reckon, some of the gaps, I could fit my fist right through them.

    I doubt they will be using these themed panels as the means to enclose the building to make it water tight. They will need to have layers of insulation, fibre cement/colorbond fitted to the external side of the steel frame before they construct/install the outside of the temple.
  20. New display name
    If they are having issues closing the gaps internally, won't they have the same issues externally. A tube of no-more-gaps won't cut it. 🤣
  21. themagician
    They do, but I’m sure there argument would be that Storm Coaster and Battle Boats ticks the water based ride box for their line up. What the park needs to do right now is make Trident and Vortex reliable because right now to amount of down time these rides have, they may as well not be there
  22. themagician
    I’d say they’ll most likely be filled in once the external sheeting is up. You might not even notice during the ride because it’ll be reasonably dark during this show moment.

    The current gaps between the theming pieces look awful. I'm sure these gaps won't be there when it's completed, right?

    Every 18 months or so, this story gets dragged out like the tree in December!
  25. RobMac
    Was way bettererer when they had VR.......SW need a flume ride!
  26. Last week
  27. Gazza
    My brain is Broken Big Dipper, Little Nipper, Boomerang, Alpine Coaster... what's the 5th?
  28. Ranger
    Beat me to it. Looks awesome, especially when you have a crap winter! Anyway, here's another POV: Also, five new coasters in NSW in three years is unheard of
  29. New display name
    They have a special for the next 3 months, if you book online. $15 for one turn or $30 for 3 turns. I also read you don't need a lift pass to ride it. I believe the normal price will be $25 & $50.
  30. Ogre
    Based on how the barn looks it was filmed at least two weeks ago 😮
  31. Tricoart
    Might be the most lats on a coaster that's open here rn, judging by that POV.
