Movie World has now released its 2nd maintenance blog with Wild West Falls, won’t be surprised if Green Lantern is next but this blog does provide an interesting look into the behind the scenes of the attraction. https://themeparks.com.au/blog/wild-west-falls-maintenance

Common sense is not building a carriage people can hit their head on.

You may find these two are connected. Launch speeds take a lot of factors into account including the speed of the previous launch and even wind speed (there's an anemometer at the start of the brake run that wobbles like a bitch when the train hits the brakes). Cold wheels and tracks are slower so the end of the day is more likely to give a faster run. The MCBR is less likely to kick in if your speed is at the lower end, but will kick hard if the train is going too fast. The ride computer constantly adjusts the force applied to the launch based on many factors including prior launch times - so even a large variance in weight from one launch to the next can impact the speed\force applied at launch.

Having multiple screen based attractions is more of a Universal thing.

I haven’t had the chance to ride ST since around February but just wanted to come note some things as they appear to have been different; - The Operator now counts you down to launch instead of when you dispatch which does add a new little touch which can be exciting. - The ride is so smooth which after riding DCR you forget how smooth the ride actually is. - I don’t know if this is true but it feels like they’ve sped up the acceleration or speed of the launches? They all felt a bit faster and more intense, the train went quite a bit higher during the first launch sequence then i remember. - I’m very happy and surprised at how well they’ve been able to maintain the rides dispatches, rapidly fast with only 2 staff (excluding op) in the station, the 3 train wait system in the station helps a lot. - The MCBR is a lot more noticeable now, doesn't take away from the pace of the 2nd half though. This ride was definitely a great investment for the park and one of (or is) the best rides in Australia. I cant wait to see which ride ends up being better, Leviathan or ST.

I feel powerful 😆. No, but seriously, interesting timing after I just posted that video. Probably a coincidence but you never know

That's the best possible news. Keep it shuttered until its worthy of being open and not an embarrassment to the park.
