Half the lift hill has been painted

I do like the running water effect they’ve installed around vortex IMG_3607.MOV

I found a POV on Facebook. The ride time is longer than it looks from off-ride, as the use of vertical space within the footprint is extensive.

Yeah - fountain of improbability doesn't cover this though - we need a new 'smells fishy' react...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Safari_World African Safari World in Victoria looked like it was going to be decent. Similar to a Busch Gardens style park. It was a shame that the Government shut it down.

How about them Log Ride demolitions?

Coaster Studios has just released a quick video of the soft opening of F.L.Y, the brand new Vekoma Launched flying coaster, the first of its type in the world. There is also a quick preview of the new land Rookburgh as well. Check it out. From first impressions, the launch looks very forceless which the reviewer acknowledges , but he then goes on to state that the ride is excellent- very different from B & M flyers insofar there are no on your back moments. The new area and general theming of F.L.Y looks absolutely awesome and the Steampunk theme is very well exceuted indeed! Looking forward to a POV and closer look as this progresses to an offical opening.

Not sure if this is new or if I’ve never noticed it before; but here’s a sign

Still waiting on Wonderland Sydney (2.0) http://www.sydneyswonderland.com.au/proposal

I would be planting 3 lovely big trees (one family member’s family reportedly don’t want a memorial) down the back in Corroboree and having a plaque saying “these trees dedicated to xyz). That’s literally it. I would not mention the accident or the deaths of why. That way there is something for the families to visit if they so desire. I’d keep it as far away from the accident site as possible. Firstly for the same reason, the family probably do not want to go back to that spot. Secondly you don’t want a big “death happened here” reminded, regardless of if it’s a big or small plaque, etc. I think the memorial should be as subtle and discreet as possible. It’s about about acknowledging the people for the family of the family so wants so. Anything more prominent or public starts to enter the world of being for the park, and almost using the deaths as goodwill by implying “look how great we are, we care, here’s a plaque.” I think subtlety is key. I’d also say don’t put it in a prominent area that is likely to see development because if you have to move it, that will just cause more outrage.

Brads lying @Smol bean. He just wants to keep all those sweet sweet photos showing minimal progress of paint drying to himself.

Not to derail the conversation too much, however... ...If it's owned by News Corporation it's propaganda and not news.

Just came across this 1997 park map of the park too that shows the train

Because it costs a fortune to make staff work on those days and those things take a lot longer to check than you may think

@Gazza that was my thought exactly. Especially when SV was in the planning stages before the thought of closing TRR existed

Does anyone know how much longer the DreamWorks license has got left?

If you want to use the stairs, can’t you just easily push the gate open and walk down the stairs?

It definitely did well for being the Gold Coasts oldest ride

The spiral queue allows for wheel chair access, so they can’t just remove it

Wow after more than a decade of that building being untouched, they are finally doing something with it. Maybe that’s a part of the ABC Kids world expansion/refurb

@Adventures With JWorld what part of MDMC is that? I can’t figure out where that is

Not in the area. Zoom lens while over the fence on top of my van. wanted to get a good look at the coaster too

Walts ready for the Mickey Mouse blood sucking so he can become Taylor swift why because she’s basically satan at this point
