'problem plagued' *Waits for gc bulletin's "riders face imminent death on killer theme park ride" article*

If you want to see a video of a stopped ride just look at a photo, they're very similar

I assume Brad's now banned from the page?

Soooo.... the problem is that the ride's failure is causing it to be safe? Scary!

Another article popped up today from MyGC, i'm not going to post it as they've copied some of imagery without attribution and the last thing I want is for that sort of thing to be supported by giving them more ad money. In saying that, I wrote up a rant about it all, which you can read here: http://ourworlds.co/theme-park-safety/ TLDR?

Found this old photo of the DW entry. any ideas at what point they excavated and lowered the carpark? And why? No steps up to the entry, basically just a walk up in this photo

Maybe it would be a good idea for when any of us are at a park and a ride does a normal e-stop that we report it to media. By the time they'll show up, everything will be back to normal and they'll realise how stupid they are and how common stoppages are.

Bloody hell, you'd think they could at least be impressed we have levitating coasters.

Visited DW today and while having a look in there Main Street Emporium shop I noticed one of there DW shirts recently done with buzzsaw, TOT2, River Rapids and more but the main thing that stuck out was the fact of them having Eureka Mountain and people who were seating in a mine cart with there arms in the air. Maybe I'm just going out on limb but my point is while would they personally put a closed down ride on there merchandise it would be like putting the Skylink Chairlift on a shirt, why unless they may personally have plans for it for the near future.

Haha. .. It's all good. I wouldn't have said it was me if I had an issue with it (I'm sure there is more than one guy named Brad who thinks TPSN is a farce..)

Haha... That post was actually on MWs page so thankfully he had no jurisdiction there! Haha

Good to know! Will be interesting to see what the events will be at SW with it being incorporated into Carnivale this year. Maybe a parade on weekends? Can't see it being a night event

Really? I don't understand your nationale, Buzzsaw is 46m high, surely it's not hard to believe you are well above (not too far off double) that height..

For those wanting to see the video https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/video/watch/31196998/thrill-seekers-left-stranded-on-green-lantern-ride/#page1

Channel 7 news just started on TV, in the headlines it had something about the Green Lantern breaking down again today and leaving people stranded. Will wait for the news story and see what the go is lol. But yeah, it has managed to make it into the media on a slow news day again... ETA: So it got stuck for an entire 5 minutes. Whoopee Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. They got witness interviews and everything, hahaha. And of course they dug up all the drama from last year with it. Lame.

The only one that really ever used to bother me was the Lethal Weapon preshow video briefing. That was ok once or twice, but after seeing the same movie footage (and from a tired old 80's movie, at that) got boring and repetitive after that. It got to the point where my best friend and I would make fun of it and recite it word for word as it was playing hahaha (much to the annoyance of people around us, gotta love adolescence lol) ???
