That looks like it's going to be one fine looking 'elevated seating pit' ?

That, good sir, receives comment of the week...

Here's a pic from another angle... Heading back to DW tomorrow (had to leave early today, was only there for an hour) so will sus it out some more then ??

^Heading to the park, good luck trying to get in. Maybe try tomorrow when its open.

TPSD ? Moooooving on.... ??

Kevil Hill^ better?

You mean like how there is no need for pointless posts like 'I saw a tree over a wall'.. i struggle to think of single maze with the exception of Film Vault that hasn't included trees in some capacity.. In breaking news, new wall is found on other side of already established wall..

I'd say that the Friday the 13th Maze will be going there, because correct me if I'm wrong, but the other maze last year didn't have onc, while the first scene of FT13 had a number of large Forrest scenes.

^^ twas a joke

The video @reanimated35 refers to is the one where a girl, with disabilities, is not allowed to go on some rides at Dreamworld. Not the full amount, but certainly none of the bigger thrill rides. However, apparently she is allowed to go on the same rides (or at least one of the same rides - a Disk-o, I think) at her home park of Rainbows End in Auckland, NZ. Is one of those parks breaking their H&S rules? If a person unfortunately has disabilities, it may well be unsafe for them to ride particular rides (depending on the ride in question, and their disabilities). Yes, they may well have been on the same ride 99 times and everything has gone smoothly, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will on the hundredth time. Any remotely sane company should err on the side of caution, and I find the attitude taken by the girls in the video (and their parents for not correcting them, or doing any semblance of research before the visit - way to go, parents!) annoyingly entitled. As for the person involved in the log ride incident, well we still don't know what happened. If he does have disabilities or handicaps which would have meant he was more inclined to stand up, well: 1 - were Dreamworld made aware of this, and if so why did they let him on the ride? 2 - if Dreamworld weren't made aware of this, why not? 3 - assuming he had a carer (and if not, why not?), why did his carer let him on the ride and not supervise him properly? If he doesn't have any disabilities which impacted his thinking, then he was just being a prat. I do hope he's fine and everything, but Dreamworld owes him nothing when probably hundreds of thousands of visitors go on that ride annually and don't injure themselves by trying to show off.

It would be great to see something like this, but obviously themed to Doomsday or a villain. Something to make the area come alive and interactive.

????????

Don't you mean it was a lot more 'creative'? "Back in my day" for me wasn't that long ago. I'm only 27, but when I was growing up you had to be more imaginative with Lego. You want a spaceship? Here's some square and rectangular blocks, make what you can and imagine the rest. These days it's "put part A in part B - congratulations, you built a rocket". (Obviously not that simple but you get my point). It's the same as video games - I grew up with Doom. A reasonably open map FPS where you had to find your own way around. Now you've got COD which is more of an interactive story rather than a video game. I understand that Lego had to evolve, and don't get me wrong, I love what they've been able to make these days and I love building things. (Although I still have a Pikachu Nanoblock thing I still need to put together) but I just can't help but miss the original Lego that taught kids to be more imaginative.

I'm gonna call it already. I don't care what else comes out this year, this is my GOTY. I've spent roughly 3 hours just playing around with the scenery and all I've done so far is build 1 flat ride and I'm not even finished with it yet. The level of customisation and detail that's gone into this just shits all over anything RCT has done in the past.

And in other news, all the rubbish bins were emptied at the end of the day! Sorry. I'm not normally sarcastic, but when I see stuff like this it makes me laugh!

and I guess that's why I'm not normally sarcastic!

I wonder how they got the idea that people wanted a racing car area in a theme park? Doesn't seem a good idea to me.

on my screen it looks like you just added it from a video.

Ohhh yaaaas kween, i WILL be downloading this
