I figured this needs it's own thread rather than being buried in the retirement thread. Took a squizz at nearmap this morning and while most of the parts are still sitting in an industrial estate at Pakenham, a lone piece of track has shown up in Gumbuya World, which i'm pretty certain is Skyloop track... except it's GREEN! Looks like a new theme for it's new home - let the speculation begin - what could they theme it like?

You're all thinking too hard. It's gonna be called Hoop Snake.

The problem I have is that despite the constant delays, they continue to name dates. At this stage they should just say 'Coming Soon' and call it a day, because otherwise it just seems like they're leading us on. Also fun fact: if you bought an annual pass after the announcement in 2019 and renewed it for each opening of the attractions opening dates in the hopes of riding everything once it opened then you'd be on your fourth season pass. May 2019 > May 2020 - Purchased to ride Vortex for the proposed late 2019 opening. May 2020 > May 2021 - Renewed fin hopes for the change to the late 2020 opening of Vortex with Leviathan also still proposed to open late 2020. May 2021 > May 2022 - Renewed in hopes for the new proposed June 2021 opening of Leviathan. Luckily each new delay including Summer 2021 and Easter 2022 still fall under your pass. May 2022 > May 2023 - Renewed in hopes for the new proposed date of September 2022. You would have paid either $756 or $1000 by May 2022 and have only gotten one new flat ride to show for it.

You can't simply say it's “shipping issues. If so, explain the following. •Steel Taipan was Built • WnW got a brand new slide complex (Slides shipped from Canada) •Movieworld got brand new ride vehicles for WWF. • Luna Park Sydney got 9 rides shipped out. I don't buy this shipping excuse at all. Sure, covid doesn't help but it's not the entire reason. Weather, yeah that won't help as well. Won't cause delays like this tho.

It’s the right colour…

What about inanimate carbon rod?
