  2. Scooby was actually a very easy ride to operate as a cast member. But it was one of the last rides staff learnt due to the complex evacuations. Wild West Falls was the most intensive due to the constant walking up and down the load platform. I was trained on Superman, Scooby, West, Batwing, Lethal Weapon / Arkham, Batman, Tunes Ride and Kids Rides / RoadRunner Roller Coaster before leaving in 2013. At that point I'd say the most reliable major ride was honestly Wild West Falls, Batwing and Superman. Before the Arkham conversion it would have hands down been Lethal Weapon. As far as ease goes I was only an attendant (not the one sitting behind the main control panel) most of the time. So from that POV batwing was very easy (but also incredibly boring), followed by Superman, Scooby and Wild West Falls. As a supervisor they were all very easy honestly until things go wrong, then each of them have their quirks. Scooby is the most full on by far for trying to reset faults to avoid an evacuation. Followed probably by West. If superman decides it's going to fault, generally we just let it do it's thing as it's not as intense to evacuate compared to Scooby / West. Certainly had the most fun IMO working on Lethal and Superman (apart from Tunes and Bat Ride before closure)

  3. I'm surprised they didn't follow the report up with, "this comes almost 6 years after 4 people lost their lives at Dreamworld when the TRRR malfunctioned" They always seem to mention that in an incident involving a ride, or theme park in general

  4. From what i remember the trims to the first airtime hill as well as after the non-inverting loop were added just after the first couple tests (always meant to be there obviously they just hadn’t added them yet.) They don’t seem to be on a lot of the time and when they are they don’t slow the ride down much at all (the second set hit harder then first) so i don’t think those trims would’ve done it.

  5. I don't think I've ever seen Movie World use water dummies for their morning tests on any ride. Thinking about it, I don't think I've seen any theme park on the Gold Coast use water dummies for their morning cycles. Constantly filling up trains with water dummies every morning just seems like a massive waste of time. You are speaking like you knew this was gonna happen, when this has never happened in the 5 years the ride has operated at the park. You're not an expert, nobody is expecting you to be an expert, stop pretending to be an expert.

  6. WWF has reopened, it temporarily closed due to the major rainfall on Thursday night and the water had to be drained/treated

  7. That system destroyed sizzler… it’s not a health issue, it’s simply a cost v revenue issue as to its viability in non-peak times

  8. It's a nice little park isn't it? I went for the first time a couple years ago and was pleasantly surprised. It does need a modern coaster of some kind though. A family Vekoma (similar to Gumbuya's) would be a great fit.

  9. ... not to mention the Corkscrew has gone down for just one day of maintenance this year. Their maintenance schedules are phenomenally organised (they do only open for 4 days a week, though).
