Really? If Dreamworld were to build one of these, we would all be appropriately impressed. It’s not DC Rivals but it looks like a damn fine coaster that would go a long way to restoring Dreamworld’s reputation as a thrill destination. I for one , would certainly welcome it and I suspect I wouldn’t be alone in that feeling.

what relevance does this have to the MW MAINTENANCE ?????

It’s offical

Schnitzel is what you order when you can't afford a parmagania.

This looks fricken awesome and those first 2 loops... Wow! Absolutely, @Jobe something like this would be a most welcome addition to DW - surely even they could do a better job at the themeing/landscaping than Kennywood.

It's just better quality food. Quite honestly the quality of even the burgers and fries at the existing outlets is poor. Also, I don't know what makes you think I'd complain if it took 30 minutes for my meal to be served (which I've never experienced at Schnitz) but personally I value the quality of my food more than the speed of service. I guess you just jumped to another wild and pointless conclusion, for no reason, based on nothing, as usual. I know good value and good quality dining is possible at theme parks because I've experienced it. Just not in Australia.

Here’s the first construction update since it’s announcement: There was some activity happening on the eastern side of the land, with some large machinery a lot of shipping containers on site All the trees have now been removed from the land where The Vortex will be and the creatures will be removed very soon. Sky Flyer is closed for maintenance, so the entire COTD area is closed off With JR also closed right now for maintenance, access through this area of the park is restricted, but I’m thinking (based off the concept artwork), we will see this bridge finally go and the pathway issues in this area resolved

Not gory but it is the moment when someone's life came to an end and that's plenty enough for most.

The knowledgeable one said it belongs here, so here it is.

I think Crepe would be a great idea, but no need for a whole bar. Copy what Asia does and run it out of a stand. That way it can be moved, brought out on days when required and change ingredients depending time of the day or season.

Check out klook mate they have some discount tickets, downloads to your phone, then just show your phone at the gates

It seems, @pushbutton, that your solution to most food issues at the park is to bring an external contractor in. Now, in my opinion, the reason why you get shot down on these arguments, repeatedly, is because bringing an external mob in to run something is a cop out. The park loses control of the outlet, and can't control standards (which can be both good, and bad). They lose money - as they get less revenue when there's a competitor in the park. If you think the food outlets in the park need improving, then by all means - put forward your suggestions. The crepe bar I quoted wasn't a horrible idea. A bit polarising perhaps as not everyone is going to want to eat crepes and the bakery stocks a variety of things sure to suit more people than crepes, but not a horrible idea to change things up. But - when your solution involves 'bring an external in' - its a shit idea. What can the external do, that the park cannot do themselves, if they wanted to? This is the question you should answer. Because the park CAN do anything an external can do, if they try. Chances are, they don't, because people buy the food they currently sell... And diluting their current market by opening yet another outlet at Stars just increases their costs, but won't necessarily increase their income. If the food gets to a point where people would rather eat at mcdonalds and they start losing money in their food outlets, then, and only then, will they realise a problem exists. Until then, I don't think there's much of a problem, judging purely by sales. Your review of Dirty Harry's burrito bar indicates your fussiness is probably a bit more unique to yourself than a glaring issue with a food outlet that otherwise receives mainly positive reviews.

It depends on if you're a purist. Hypers were originally designed to combat multi-inversion coasters with simple layouts focussing on height, speed, and airtime. Inversions aren't typically present in a hyper coaster, however as time has gone on, inversions have found their way into the mix. My personal opinion - I think 9 inversions is probably pushing it, and while the POVs i've seen show there's quite a few pops of airtime, i think it's status as a hyper will always be called into question by some. The current definition, despite the non-inverting history, states a coaster with a drop over 200ft is a hyper... and if you look at the profile below, from the peak of the lift hill, it drops a short distance before the first inversion. Do they count as two separate drops, since there is an uphill part to the corkscrew? The corkscrew inversion after the lift hill, while being the highest inversion in the world, is at 197ft... I'm sure opinion will be divided on this - however in the end, the official wiki for the coaster does list it as a hypercoaster so i guess that's your answer.

One of our parks has gone for a "new" S&S design in the past so I am not sure our parks will go for one based on the history of that. Maybe they'd consider something from the Vekoma side of things.

Mcdonalds is not a restaurant. You can get that without building a new restaurant. Adding some cheaper options to an existing outlet menu like $10.00 for a schnitzel & chips makes more sense than your idea. All you are doing is adding more outlay to MW.

We must be thinking of different rides Push, AA’s theming is not movie like nor an immersive experience. The park had many better themed and immersive rides than it.

You have no idea how much knowledge I have.

It's an existing building with an existing kitchen. Certainly needs sprucing up, but if there was sufficient demand they'd make the money to pay for it quite quickly. Anyway, this isn't really about maintenance so that's all from me on this!
