  1. This "new" ride cycle, is a safety feature working as designed. The ride has been programmed to run the original 1 loop cycle that was on Buzzsaw. But after the relocation and refurb of the trains, the ride seems to be running faster than usual; and thus it's entering the vertical brake run too fast for the brakes/computer to successfully catch it on the first go. So the brakes don't engage, giving the extra swing back and forth (killing speed) so it can successfully 'catch' the train at a slower speed. I've gotten this cycle multiple times now, and I think it really adds to the overall ride experience. A lot of fun!

  3. I had my first ride on Leviathan on the 23rd. I found it absolutely relentless from start to finish. The turns were sharp and wild, the first drop gave me great floater, and the pacing was excellent. My family seemed to find it intense but rough as well, I on the other hand didn’t experience that kind of discomfort. Definitely the top woodie for me, although the only other one that i’ve been on (which even compares) would be Stampida at Portaventura. No competition from Scenic Railway or Wild Mouse here. It’s definitely my favourite ride at Seaworld. Vortex was quite a fun top spin as well, not as intense or as long as the one in IMG that I rode quite a while back during my trip to Dubai. Trident was closed due to “high winds”, but honestly when is the wind calm when you are situated in Main Beach. I also want to point out that the queue’s theming for Levi is incredible, and completely thrashes any queue in Australia. I found it close to a Universal style of theming, and the New Atlantis as a whole reminded me of The Lost Continent at Universal Orlando. Overall, giant win for Seaworld. Definitely have to visit the GC more often now (got a one pass recently so I have to!)

  5. Media Preview Day - 19/12/22 Was very lucky to attend a media preview and TV commercial filming day of both coasters yesterday. A big thankyou to the Gumbuya World team for giving Parkz an early access look at both coasters! It is greatly appreciated. Got to ride TNT, but Project Zero was still undergoing testing and commissioning. My initial thoughts on TNT: Pacing and 'flow' of elements are fantastic. The beginning is surprisingly intense (for a family coaster), and ends with a tamer section that is twisty and just plain fun. This is definitely a back row ride for the extra thrills. The coaster is smoooth....even more than I was expecting. No vibrations, no jolting, no headbanging. Vekoma's next gen bucket seats and minimal lap bar harnesses are very comfortable. Theming and area presentation is looking great, but was still being worked on - especially the internal queue space. So I'll wait for opening day to give more thoughts on that. We got to see Project Zero test, and go inside the queue building. The station and queue space has got a premium office/facility feel - and really sets up the whole space test area theme. There is a viewing window from the queue that allows you to appreciate the speed and intensity of this coaster even before the air gate platform. Really interested to see how the old buzzsaw tracks since the rebuild, repaint and refurb. Overall it was 'sounding' a lot more smoother, quieter and less 'clunky' - especially the lift chain and vertical brakes. You can tell the whole team at Gumbuya World are very excited, and proud, about the 2 new attractions. And so they should be. Can't wait for the opening on the 23rd!
