Hi there ― Sorry for jumping in here, I just came across this discussion. I’ve never been to Australia, but I know the history of the Sea World Monorail very well, because it’s the “sibling” of the EP Express Monorail over here in Germany. The World Expo 88 in Brisbane had a monorail with 4 trains, it was the same make and model as the one in Sea World (“Von Roll Mk-II”). So, when the World Expo was over, one of the trains went to Sea World, not far away (so its fleet grew from two to three trains). The other 3 trains from World Expo 88 went on a much longer journey ― they were bought by “Europa-Park”, one of the largest theme parks in Europe. This monorail is now called EP Express, and it’s still in operation today. In fact it’s one of the main attractions, and the Europa-Park engineers are keeping the trains in excellent shape. I’m very sad to hear that the sibling in Sea World Australia has been taken out of service (apparently forever). It would be nice if Europa-Park bought these three trains, too, and expanded the track of the EP Express. That would make sense because Europa-Park has grown considerably in the past 30 years and covers a much larger area now. However, I’m afraid that is just wishful thinking. So … Farewell, Sea World Monorail. I’ll be thinking of you next time I ride EP Express. Best regards ― Oliver from Germany

The park had a major ride breakdown and so they got it fixed and open for their paying guests Oh my god how embarrassing

DC Rivals was closed today - unplanned closure. Superman Escape is out for maintenance until the weekend Roxy is under maintenance until 4/8 Green Lantern is out until 15/9 Scooby is down for more than a year Today, based on that list, Road Runner is the park's headlining rollercoaster. Justice League and Batwing are the only attractions operating outside of WB Kids with the exception of Wild West Falls (in Winter) and some neutered version of Doomsday... and just so we're completely honest - Carousel and Yosemite Sam Train are also out. So today's lineup at MW: Justice League Batwing Doomsday Wild West Tweety Cages Speedy Taxis Junior Driving School Road Runner And at least two of those are unavailable to almost 100% of the guests in park due to height requirements or restrictions. Speedy and Tweety for the adults, and Doomsday and Batwing for the kids. I know its the off season. This is when you expect your majors to be down to be the least inconvenience to guests - but fuck me that lineup is embarassing.
