Can i paint pictures of Yosemite Sam with coloured buttons inside?

^ i agree about the restraints. i’m just at 6ft and they have to fully push it down into my shoulders due to the angle of the restraints. Flash is very mild, whereas forgetting the pain The Claw gives taller riders, it is a far more intense ride with a lot more airtime. redoing The Claw with the new style pendulum restraints would be good though.

Yesterday I made a joke to someone that this was where the rotting shack from next to first aid ended up, but yours is better. the nostalgic heartstrings are torn from memories of racing to paint the whole picture, in the short refresh time you had, with such bad touchscreen accuracy that would never wash today but we all just accepted as the coolest tech ever back in the day. YOU CAN PAINT ON A SCREEN WITH YOUR FINGER!

Universal Singapore has recovered fully from the covid shutdowns and is in full swing. Minions land is rumoured to open by Christmas - however many spaces outside of the park in the Resorts World area of Sentosa are under redevelopment so you may need to go farther afield from the park to complete your day (there's plenty of other sentosa attractions to occupy the day though!) After visiting earlier this year, I could honestly skip the Tokyo Disney parks on a repeat visit - Unless the additions since your last visit warrant a return. The crowds and the cost are simply too high right now. Universal Hollywood - if you've never done it before, I highly recommend doing the USH VIP Tour. While it is a bit pricier (and you should book further in advance to secure your spot) the inclusions do make it great value for money, and the experience is incomparable to visiting with a normal day-ticket. Knott's. Love this park. could spend multiple days just soaking the atmosphere. Enjoy it! Fuji Q and Nagashima - we missed these on our most recent trip to Japan. Travel times were prohibitive, so if you do plan to go, would recommend staying nearby and arriving the day before your planned visit. End of year will be winter, and from what I recall, the potential for bad weather may see the park close attractions unexpectedly, so bear this in mind. Universal Osaka - staying on property was great here - and Port Universal was a great little hotel a short stroll from the front gate. Express 8 pass sorely needed during busier periods. USJ has some of the most restrictive ride restraints i've encountered, so if you're tall, have broad shoulders, carry a little extra weight around the midsection or are otherwise outside the average japanese build (long legs for example) you may not fit on certain attractions. Test seats are everywhere and cast members will ask you to try at the entrance if they think you may not fit. The park has advertised opening times, but frequently opens much earlier - sometimes more than an hour before. It depends on crowds. If you want to ensure you can enter nintendo land and\or harry potter, you either need to arrive insanely early to ensure you get in early enough to get a free timed entry spot, or alternatively there are upcharges like the express 8 which include guaranteed entry times. Can't give any advice for China parks as I haven't been yet - but can advise you to drink and brush teeth with bottled water only Six Flags Magic Mountain - The current park operating calendar states that the park is closed from December 30th and doesn't show a reopening date, (though I would presume this just hasn't been loaded yet). I'd recommend going on a weekday as weekends are insanely busy with locals and passholders (check the calendar to make sure its open the day you want to go). The Platinum Flash pass has been necessary for us on our last two visits, and makes for a far more pleasant day. Going in winter you are far more likely to encounter ride closures, so do your research on what will be available ahead of time to see if it is worth going...

I’m sure it will be, but hopefully they improve it. The park has been known to improve on some pages in previous years when they return if there were things that weren’t working. In saying that, there has been years when bad mazes haven’t been changed at all, or good mazes have been adjusted to make them not as good. Fingers crossed though. This is very exciting!

Yeah look, that would be a fair interpretation, if it wasn't for the fact that that also isn't a 'never been done before' thing either. Land of Oz (theme park) - Wikipedia I've been saying this since the Flash BTS content started to release. I think their media team have really lifted their game to new heights (or gotten fresh blood?) and i'm super keen to see Village continue to push out their great insights into new constructions and other activities going on behind the scenes. But that doesn't mean i'm not going to call out bullshit from the C-suite.

SEQ parks, (for the most part) in the 80/90's look bettererer than 2day! (Life lesson: never let a bunch of mean bean-counters, at a merchant bank buy a theme park....it'll be the beginning of the [near] end!)

The Gold Coast’s biggest new theme park attraction in years is on track to open by Christmas in the latest pitch to lure domestic and international visitors back to the city. Construction is in full swing of the “world-first” $50m Wizard of Oz precinct at Warner Bros Movie World at Oxenford, with Village Roadshow bosses tipping the family friendly multi-ride area will take the city down the yellow brick road of prosperity. Village chief operating officer Bikash Randhawa said it would be able to accommodate more than 2000 people every hour. “This is something that has never been done before, so the beauty of this attraction is that everything has had to be built from scratch. “There were numerous people from Warner Brothers Discovery, our thematic team and our internal teams who had to create every square inch of this area from nothing. “What we’ve achieved here, especially with all the talent and the skill set coming out of Gold Coast, and to be able to do something that has not been done anywhere in the entire world is a big tick for tourism, and a big tick for the city of Gold Coast. “Theme parks drive visitation and I believe this will be something that is so iconic that, for years and years to come, we’ll have families come here with mums, dads and kids, who will one day bring their own children, making it a generational piece.” The attraction was first announced in July 2022. It will have two family-friendly rides, including a multi-launch coaster, capable of reaching speeds of almost 70km/hr around a 454m track and a racing coaster where thrill seekers will travel simultaneously on two 220m tracks reaching speeds of up to 58km/hr. It follows the recent opening of it's The Flash Speed Force ride at Easter. The Wizard of Oz precinct is being built on the former location of the Arkham Asylum roller coaster, which was originally known as the Lethal Weapon ride. https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/future-gold-coast/warner-bros-movie-world-gold-coast-first-look-at-wizard-of-oz-precinct-attraction/news-story/e82f1aa3796ab35c4018ebb0ae2890e8 Did I miss the part where the suspended family coaster was having multiple launches?

I think the padding on the bar restraints for the Shark Family Coaster, should be bigger.

The maintenance for the Play School Wheel has been extended by a month The Giant Drop has closed unexpectedly for a couple of days The maintenance for The Claw and Kenny’s Forest Flyer was supposed to start today but has been pushed back a few weeks And rather than having a reopening date the vintage cars just say ‘temporarily closed’

Quite a few rides are closed from today for maintenance, but interestingly there’s a couple that seem to be just closed for today. There are also a couple of attractions closing from tomorrow and then a few in August. Going to be a busy maintenance period for Sea World during this school term!

After last year it would take something new and unexpected to consider going (and not just a Beetlejuice maze). Having had to pay last year for the first time in many years (with memberships losing access) and finding it the poorest both organisationally and engagingly in years as well, it’s left a real sour taste in my mouth

Your link only says October 12th / 18th to 19th / 25th to 26th

It isn't chit chat. Whether you like it or not it was directly related to the attraction this thread was started for. As others have said you can feel free to scroll on by, but in the interim, your whinging is creating another page of crap - so try being the solution?

Popped in there during Snowy Nights. Has three rooms with comfy chairs and various sensory items, and is indeed very quiet - couldn't hear anything from outside, even with ST next door. A very nice idea!
