So I read an interesting commentary from the US parks yesterday and I think it make a a lot of sense. COVID-19 can’t really survive in the sunlight/warmth for more than a few minutes. So rather than any silly cleaning regime it wood make more sense for our parks to simply cycle and empty train after each ride to speed up operations. The problem will be if they are prepared to accept that increased wear and tear. Similarly the virus is not transmitted by skin contact. So if you make a mask compulsory for riders, you really don’t need any distancing on trains, just provide sanitizer at the exit and make people use it when leaving the ride in case they picked up anything off a surface during the ride (and could therefore pass it into their mouth, etc through touch). This is a problem for something like Scooby which is indoor entirely though. If I was the park I’d actually have been looking at a medical grade UV light the cars could pass through between unload and load to sterilize them contact free. The same could be done on Justice League. Thoughts?

During Fabrication in Herbolzheim

Farmstay is also available from September 20

It may mean nothing, but SW Resort are now offering packages including park admission once again. SW/PC from July 1 and the rest from July 15

1. There 100% is a need for more family water rides in our parks imo, especially at DW. 2. Money controls the media. You make the differences between what you are now building and TRRR, that this is manufactured by a leading international company and not an in-house job, what safety features are included. whilst I would envisage it happening medium term, the only reason not to do it is fear, and that’s never been a good emotion to heard successful decisions on...

It’s probably the hardest attraction at Sea World to deal with in relation to Covid-19 so maybe just easier to leave it closed and say it’s under maintenance.

If this is all real and not an accident on their part, I think we may see some an announcement this week, possibly even tomorrow. Also based off Bikash has been posting teasers on his Instagram too

I’d argue the point that there is no need. But agree on the other points, mainly because Australia is stupid.

every country seems to have a different interpretation around what kills the virus, the life cycle on surfaces, and the use of masks. Ive read material that states it survives hours on surfaces, and days on fabrics, and that temperatures don’t come into play in “naturally” killing the virus unless they are over 56 degrees and exposed for 15mins or more which won’t occur naturally anywhere. even medical grade UV exposure is harmful to humans, and I haven’t previous heard of its usage outside of health facilities as a means to kill the virus, especially in high traffic areas. Even if the cars were “hit” by light between unload and load, the ride ops would be exposed to it each time unless a custom room was built for this exposure to occur within Also not sure how we can say the virus is not transmitted by skin contact? If so why are we not allowed to shake hands, use utensils or equipment that is handled by multiple people? I think it’s 100% transmitted by droplets of the virus that get picked up on surfaces and then you touch your face, eat/drink and then basically ingest the virus.

Harry Potter is also VERY popular in Japan as well.

GL next to Rivals does look fantastic but until Rivals was built, it looked like they had just left a coaster out on the curb for council collection.

I'm not a massive fan of the ride, but I must admit I like really like how the area around it has grown and how it feels like it belongs now. It's neat that the area has filled in, and there's some nice creative elements that make the coaster feel at home in a way it really didn't when it was built. The water slide tower in the middle of the helix being the obvious pinnacle. I agree it should nowt have been the signature coaster for 20 years, but I like how the area has grown to make it fit in. Seriously when it was built you could really tell that the ride wasn't meant for where it was built. 100% a terrain coaster, and as much as it was a good pickup at the time, in the early days it really stuck out in a bad way and didn't fit at all. These days with the way they've built around it it fits in like it's meant to be there. I love when different rides interact, I think it makes things so much cooler. I mean there's nothing exciting about the placement of GL or Arkham, but Corkscrew dove under the monorail track, and it really added something, particularly when you were on it and there was a train going through. The same would be true if they'd stuck with the original plan of putting a ride in Superman's helix. If I had to put it in marketing terms that our parks could understand I'd say 'The proximity of different attractions in any one precinct provides for world class, dynamic interaction, enhancing the experience and providing for organic iconic promotional hero images, and instagramable moments for guests to share, assisting in the creation of sharable viral content. World class. *orgasm noises*'.

This is the problem with just taking a perfectly designed terrain coaster and just plonking it in a car park. One of the stupidest thing Dreamworld of old did with all the land they had available.

Because it's a new ride from a major manufacturer who puts them on their other rides, not an in house one with adhoc additions and incomplete drawings. Are you on a contrarian streak these couple of days mate?

I think what they've done here is pretty cool:

See the lumens rating? cinema range is more like 15-20,000 lumens. Big buildings, big throw distances. Need a lot of light. When you throw in dual pipe for 3d operation, start talking over 100k. More like this. https://www.digitalcinema.com.au/digital-projection-insight-dual-laser-4k-projector-64hz-lens-sold-separately.html edit: Or something like this for half the price. https://www.digitalprojection.com/emea/dp-projectors/highlite-laser-ii/

It’ll probably end up like this...
