Went back to Dreamworld today - my main goal was finishing off the rides I didn't get to last week. First up was wipeout, my first time since the revamp. The ride has definitely improved, not gonna say too much because I'm sure you all know about it. Then did Tail Spin again. This time I decided to not chicken out as the flips sped up. I also made sure that the harness was more comfortable this time, however it did start to hurt my shoulders as the flips got faster. Saw a nearly-empty queue for shockwave, so I did that for the first time. It's a good family ride, almost a mini-version of the claw. Few semi-decent moments of airtime. Can understand what people mean with the uncomfortable harness. Then did Pandamonium. The only other time I did this was when it first opened, and I only did soft-style, so today was my first go at hard-style. The G-Forces really surprised me on this. Then did ToT. Haven't been on this one for a year or so and I do have a few things to say about it. Firstly, I felt that it was going faster and higher than I remember it went, which was nice to see. I was a bit confused about why the queue ends at the top of the stairs and they don't use the switchbacks in the wedge room any more. I also felt that the wait-time signage had to undergo a big change. Firstly, they need a lot more of them, I could only see one, and this one sign was at the very end of the queue and it said there were 25 minutes left (obviously this must've included the wedge room, but if they're going to not bring people through that way then they need to fix the signs. For another positive note, the air-conditioning was nice... except for this one that was pumping out hot air . Oh yeah and the elevator at the end didn't start until another cycle had passed which was really annoying. I also did the giant drop, and then the claw. The staff on the claw were very nice today. There were a few delays where they had to re-open the harnesses and let Q4U people through, but one of the ride attendants talked to the people waiting while this happened, and I think doing this made all the difference, making the delay less boring.

Weird to hear you say it slammed you around as I generally think GL at Movie World has quite smoothe transitions. And yes it was the huge forces and 'holy shit' factor that did it for me on the Magic Mountain version. I thought the coaster would involve heaps of spinning which I wouldn't like but it's surprisingly nothing like that.

...wait, what the fluck are 'Sound Affects'? Who is the sound going to affect? Are they anything like sound effects?

Awesome. We can start going back to Sea World again now...

Because it stays on the track?

I'm sorry but I LOLed a bit at that one!!

Even though it's not a dark ride?

Three points... First, if this was for seasonal hire then there may be a lot of applicants so could take a little while to hear back. Second, Village done usually let applicants know if they weren't successful unless you call and ask. Third, all applications require a cover letter. If the applicant couldn't string a sentence together in a decent fashion I wouldn't consider them for interview, so AlexBs point is valid. It's not a discrimination thing, it's an effort thing. To an employer if you can't make the effort to get that right it brings into question the amount of effort you will bring to the job regardless if the role itself requires you to write.
