  1. Today
  2. Might need traffic lights for opposing wheelchair traffic. /s I'm still holding onto hope, MW will reinstate the alleyway.
  3. I reckon that concrete was more expensive than moving the churro carts in the lethal weapon alleyway
  4. Yesterday
  5. That is a very narrow entrance pathway for an all new world-class world-first land
  6. I haven't done Hirakata Park before so cant comment on it, but I'd make the mission out to Nagashima. Hakugei is my number 1, and I think Steel Dragon gets overly criticised compared to other Gigas, its insane. If you get a reasonably quiet (and not windy) day its a great park. Been twice, longest I waited was 45 mins for Hakugei, skip the lines available if needed. Second what others are saying, the queues for Disney and Universal are pretty similar, in my experience Universal was probably worse. Disney are much better at theming the queues too, much less cattlepen feeling. If thrills are the only concern, go universal, but I'd strongly suggest checking DisneySea at least. Also depending how many days you have in Tokyo, try spare an hour at Tokyo Dome City and get Thunder Dolphin and Panic Coaster. Stupidly easy to get to from the metro lines, every time I've gone Thunder dolphin hasn't had a queue.
  7. Update on the FotWW castle & the entrance pathing from Superman’s plaza KT’s barn has an unthemed roof now, too, but I only viewed that from DCR
  8. Hardly. It’s probably just exaggerating the fact there’s multiple options on how you ride (backwards or forwards). Realistically theres little with the design of the ride to suggest different cycles. The layout is only designed to really traverse the course in a specific direction at a specific speed which produces safe amounts of forces on the track, supports and riders. This isn’t a vekoma boomerang. You couldn’t have it drop straight down from the top of the turntable, the curve after that drop is far too tight to traverse safely based on the layout drawings and I don’t think it would get the momentum to reach the turntable again going in that direction. Unless you make the ride move through the indoor section multiple times or have it drop straight into the section that goes to the brake run, there’s little variation in the layout possibilities that make sense. With the cycle it’s probably running the train is returning to the station in the same direction you left.
  9. Some images from today: Motocoaster Jungle Rush Murrissipi Motors Judging by what I can see of Jungle Rush, both in person & through these photos, I think this is (roughly) what’s been constructed as of now: (green: track & supports, blue: notable ride hardware of some form) that means the track for the station, entrance into turntable, entrance into the station from final brake run, & maintenance bay are in, as well as the switch/transfer track between the 2 & the catwalk/main support structure for the turntable itself.
  10. I didn't know you were blame the guest type of person @Tricoart You should work for MW management.
  11. if someone’s careless enough to go to the site, buy VIP tickets ‘cause they like the word, then separately purchase extra ride expresses, that’s on them at that point. like seriously, did people just lose any critical thinking all of a sudden? or maybe just you?
  12. Last week
  13. You could accidentally buy something, you don't require.
  14. I guess because it's offering to upsell something that is no use to him - like ordering a large big mac meal, and having them ask 'would you like fries with that?' instead of recognising there is already fries in the order, and instead substituting with 'why not try our new banana caramel pie?' Honestly though it depends how much you want to nitpick over stupid shit that doesn't have an impact on your experience. So you bought the premium product and have no use for the poor man's upsell... whoop. The additional amount of work it would take to have accesso recommend a unique upcharge experience that would compliment whatever is in your cart, instead of just a bog-standard upsell product most people would be interested in wouldn't be worth the hassle.
  15. Just to be clear, this isn’t the station. This is an element within the ride experience. The station will be a standard flat section of track like all other coasters on the GC
  16. I'm not sure, but what I think will happen is because of the turntable, the ride will end up in a different orientation when re-entering the station at the end of the ride, therefore having a different experience on the next cycle. If not that, then most likely it will have different planned cycles that it will cycle in between. At first you most likely will only be able to ride it once a day lol. the ride is by far one of the most anticipated in the history of dreamworld.
  17. "Experience a different rollercoaster ride each day". Does this mean it's changed day to day and not just a random cycle each time you ride. or do they expect you to only ride once a day?
  18. I’m going to dw tomorrow so I’m hoping to get some good construction pics of the Rivertown area and some updates on the area
  19. After taking another look at the inclined turntable concept, it does seem like a clever design. By rotating the station upward at an angle, it allows trains to continuously load and dispatch without needing to stop and wait for the next train to clear the station first. This should help increase throughput and reduce wait times.
  20. https://www.instagram.com/p/C7f1YmYPSX9/ Seems like they've dropped the "world's first inclined turntable"... and it's now the "The first-of-its-kind switchback element"

  22. When I purchased my VIP passes, which includes an unlimited Night Ride Express, the website asked me, if I wanted to also buy a 5 ride express time saver. 🤔
  23. Having just come back from a trip to Japan in march and been to spa land, and universal I would agree nagashima is the better park. Also it’s cheap to enjoy all the rides, 10 dollars to skip the que. I also agree that flying dinosaur is one of the best coasters I’ve been on. If it’s busy go singles. When I was there it was saying 150 minutes normal line and 120 minutes singles but we got on in about 45 in singles que.
  24. Yeah Nagashima is better than Hirakata for sure. Much bigger lineup. Everything except elf was mediocre at Hirikata i felt. If lines are a worry, you can purchase timed one shot express passes from vending machines at the front of each ride. Be aware rides can close before park closing time in order to clear the queue. I was caught out and missed a re ride on hakugei. Re Disney, how long have you got in Tokyo? Can you just go there yourself one of the days and visit Disneysea?
