  1. $35 million $15 mllion coaster $20 million dark ride (includes infrastructure and building construction costs) that's a start... followed up with a other $10-12 million family coaster in 2 years. That's what they need to compete IMO

  2. There will be a trim brake (probably magnetic) to bring the speed down, followed by a block brake (mechanical) which is capable of actually stopping the train. Once a train enters this block brake, the chain lift will be declared empty and allow for the train in station to depart. Once the station train has departed, it marks the station block as empty and the block brakes release the train to roll around into the station. The station is now occupied, the chain lift is occupied but the block brake is empty. Only in these conditions will the chain lift take the train entirely to the top and allow it to crest the hill. Once this train reaches that block brake again, the chain lift is then declared empty again and the cycle goes on...

  3. A full assemble might not happen thou. Rivals has the same maintenance access door as Star Trek and those cars were loaded in separately. If anything, I think MW will line one train up to shoot the TVC but not actually join the trains together. The train would be hard to move around as a fully assembled train.

  6. If you're reading touring plans from 2 different sites, I doubt we have anything to offer. The only advice I'd give (and this is general advice, it's not specific to you) is those plans are written by autistic teenagers who don't understand that you're actually at a park to have fun with people you love. It's not all about hitting attractions in the most efficient way possible, particularly with family or kids in tow. Be open to going with the flow at times even if it means missing something. You want happy memories not memories about fighting and kids not eating now because we have to get a spot an hour early for the parade on the left side of the plaza because it means you get to see the floats for a little longer. A combination of a solid game plan and being open to the needs of your group is key. Don't forget to have fun!

  8. The project is now officially dead. They have failed to met deadlines and council has cancelled the contract and pocketed the deposit. https://www.2gofm.com.au/news/central-coast/chappy-pie-china-time?geoRedirect=true

  10. Here's my pointless update for this weekend. (Honestly though, the coverage this week has been amazing and extensive!) However, not everything has been covered! Which means there is actually something to mention Grouting of the supports has started around the Incline Dive Loop and the work on the Non-Inverted Loop seems to be torquing - definitely sounds like it. As I was in somewhat of a rush, here are my moving-car shots for the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of July. Comparison Shot 1 Okay so I lied, the car was stationary for the taking of this picture. Not Comparison Shot 1 Driving alongside all of this is going to be awesome. Imagine racing the train along the bunny hills. you can do it in roughly two months. (Hopefully, all the construction fences are gone once testing starts) The incline on the lift hill is going to be terrifying... for most guests. Warner Bros. Movie World wins the Australian Parkz Skyline Award Construction Fence wins Parkz Most Hated Photographic Obstruction 'Award' There are only three main lift hill supports. and two of them are *partially* complete. The lift hill track reaches the height requirement for almost every kids ride on the Gold Coast.
