  2. MW should do 1 for $15, 2 for $20 or something, especially off peak.

  4. Big Dipper has me the most interested to see how it is but can't beat what looks to be a great modern wooden coaster in Leviathan. It is something that has been missing in Australian parks and finally gives a good reason to head to Sea World

  5. Digging up an old thread to bring you all this: https://www.realestatesource.com.au/qic-sells-northern-gold-coast-town-centre-site/ "Queensland Investment Corporation has sold the balance of the Coomera Town Centre site to a partnership comprising Keylin Group and Kinstone Developments. The 47.73 hectare tract, 64 Foxwell Road, will exchange for c$30 million."

  6. ^Spot on. Each carriage of the train is loaded onto one of these dollies so that they can be moved around (as they can't be moved on their rolling stock without a rail).As the pieces are made in the exact same fashion as the actual track, it also allows maintenance to set wheel tolerances before returning the train to the ride.

  7. There's a Roadrunner weather vane on one of the buildings in WWF's town scene - only noticed it myself last year. There's a ton of props from the old Harry Potter exhibits still around MW. The large suit of armour at the entrance to Scooby Doo is one of the Wizard Chess Pieces. Aragog the Spider can be found in the Disco Room. All the Spiders in the Scooby Doo store.

  8. I'm most excited for Big Dipper, I've always wanted to see the day when LPS gets a new world-class coaster, and it'll be an hour away from where I live! I'm also very excited for Leviathan and Steel Taipan, but thanks to COVID and me being a paranoid bitch, I don't think I'll be leaving NSW anytime soon. Big Dipper is obviously going to be the tamest of the three. It'll be a 30 second ride which is quite slow, although it'll have some exciting elements and will look great from below. With Steel Taipan, I have to agree with @Slick. It looks great but the pacing looks meh. Leviathan is going to be the best ride IMO. It's going to be fast paced, it'll have a good layout and we've needed a modern woodie in Australia for years (though the two we currently have are still great rides and very unique).

  9. Leviathan for sure. The view of Sea World from across the broad-water is genuinely exciting again, and I think it'll be both a real fun ride while also being incredibly unique. Big Dipper is also going to be exciting in it's own way. So many folks (myself included) have suggested for years that something like a Raptor-style coaster would absolutely kill it at LPS, so to have that dream turn into reality is pretty awesome too. Steel Taipan... there's so many pros and cons to this project that I feel like Homer with the Frogurt... Dreamworld finally getting it's first genuinely great full circuit coaster! Yay! But it replaces an entire themed land with (based off the tender files on Parkz) arguably meh theming and no real concious long-term view of how that will integrate into the rest of the park's flow management (let alone how it integrates with Buzzsaw). Yikes! But, people say these Blue Fire clones kick arse! Yay! But, with the triple launch feature, they're not shortening the now un-necessarily long launch section, which really mucks up the pacing of the ride as a whole. Yikes! But, we're finally getting something comparable to Rivals! Yay! But, will it be too similar in the public's eyes? And is it too little too late, and has there been to much closed and SBNO that the penny may drop come December that the coaster is simply not enough to turn Ardent's fortunes around and have they finally burnt out the last remaining goodwill they had with the public? Yikes!
