Heck even Regie is calling you out. I'd go back through your posts to point out all the instances where you've claimed the high ground due to some knowledge or experience, but you're just not worth my time. Simple fact is that you've portrayed yourself on these boards as a bit of a know it all, despite many folks who are genuine experts in their fields telling you why you're wrong. Your ego won't let you be humble, and honestly it's just getting a bit tiresome. (Also nobody gives a shit about your credit count - that's just more ego getting in the way, and the fact you recorded that and uploaded it to try and prove how good you are is exactly the point i'm trying to make here.) It's the very reason why no matter the topic, everyone just resorts to the running turnstile joke now... you've made yourself a lovely little hole and you're going to need to work very hard to dig yourself out of it. I can't speak for others, but I can't take anything you say seriously anymore, and in general the only reason your posts are even replied to is usually to shoot them down with tangible evidence as to why you're incorrect.

Even without AV, this is Village. it'll take 40 seconds for the last group to clear the station and you know we don't let the next group in until every last person is cleared from the unload...

I mean, you put your credentials on the stand with every post. You claim to have expert knowledge in so many different fields as proof of why you're correct, in some cases even when you're arguing against the person whose literal job it is to do the thing you're arguing against. It's entirely fair and reasonable that people will challenge those credentials if you enter them into evidence.

I'm not sure that Buzzsaw had to go through a full recommission, did it? Given that they've already installed the station platforms, i'm not sure whether there are plans to do so - surely it'd be easier to have painted it all offsite, rather than in the middle of the ride helix - as I mentioned last week, I think they're going full steam ahead to plug the attraction gap quickly. When they did that, the buzzsaw track was all sent to a professional paint shop. the track was completely stripped and repainted from scratch. Based on the current location of the track and the pieces already inside the helix, I'd suggest any chance of a 'gumbuya level rejuvenation' is already dashed. It is at least possible, yes. But the ride has sat for a long time without operating, and all reasonable conclusions suggest the current theme is out of place, so if it were planned for a long time - wouldn't we have seen it taken down earlier, and shipped offsite for respray? Even the most experienced folk on here, while not arguing that it will be poorly done, are still agreeing that this entire install is reactionary.

I do hope that they would learn something from Leviathan and not put a pre-show into a load station. To be clear, you're claiming to have been correct, on the basis that one other person suggested the same idea 'as an example' of what the preshow could be? The reply by T-boy does not confirm what theme CS put forward - only that it would have a leviathan-esque pre-show.

I like to think of it as personal development.

You'd need to join IAAPA.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. Moving on, apparently according to Coaster Studios, the stations will be as well themed as Leviathan. The Movie World website also says that there will be projection mapping in the area. Could we see something like Leviathan's pre-show in the SFC's station? An example is having the evil witch tell you on a screen: "Take your army to the haunted forest and bring me that girl and her dog. Do what you want with the others, but I want her alive and unharmed!" When the coaster is about to leave, the evil which then tells you: "Now fly, fly!" The coaster then leaves the station and goes up the lift hill. They could do one of these things to achieve it: Use the original video from the movie (hard to do due to the film being in 4:3 and not being able to fit around the screen) Get the actor of the witch (from the New Line film) to film a scene of her saying the words (very unlikely) Hire someone to film it in the Village Roadshow Studios (most likely as it is easier to move around things to fit Village's needs)

It begins! Like with the Surfrider track this can be seen on the road to Paradise Country
