But they already have that, the mick doohan. You see we (the people of the forum) know that this ride is crap and slow and not worth an hour to 2 hour wait but the customers who just come to the parks about once every 5 years or so are like yes great a new ride! and an Australian first, if the line is this long it must be great! Dreamworld have succeeded in the as you said.. sweet a new ride at dreamworld lets go to it. I honestly don't think a new attraction will pop up any time soon, and when it does, I personally think it will be another low budget ride.

I like what I see Nice airtime hill there:) I think we definitely need either a looping coaster (one never seen in Australia please) OR a Woodie like mentioned earlier. Either by Intamin or B&M... NOT VEKOMA!! Ok so instead of saying what kind of coaster you would like... how about.. what company you would like the ride to be from. As mentioned about 2 lines above, I would like either another Intamin or B&M.

LETS ALL PRAY... "Dear Heavenly Coaster God, Give Australia a break... let Dreamworld be like it use to... Let us have our B&M.. AMEN"

B&M Inverters are always sweet Just look at the Batman ride at SFMM... can't wait to ride that again in January

Lol it would suit the Australian roller coaster's too... nice and short I don't know, to me it didn't seem to interesting or thrilling, but hey I have never ridden one so I'm not saying anymore. So not sure if anyone has asked this before but why are we so far behind in the amusement park industry? We do we not have parks like the UK and US?

well than my source is incorrect. Thanks for correcting me

Ahh I see. I know The Demon went to some factory to get a new paint job but I wasn't sure if it stayed there for a while or went straight to the park. Oh well I know now Someone should really construct that coaster or someone will steal it on them... hehe

Ok so when a park close or sells a roller coaster and another park purchases this coaster of them. Where does the roller coaster go until it is installed? For example the Titan at World Expo. When it closes in 1988 did the ride stay at the location? When was it removed? And where did it stay before it went to wonderland? I'm only using the Titan as an example the question is, what happens to these coaster from the day they are closed to the day they are re-opened in another park!?

mk if you wish to hear it. Ok well first day was a bit nerve raking, you know from how they make the schools out to be on the movies. We didn't catch the bus that day because ryan (the guy i stayed with) had his license and car, as mentioned above. This was my first time on the right side of the road in a car in the front, so that got a bit scary and weird. Anyway, we got there and he introduced me to his friends but then we had to go to a classroom to meet up with the other host students and the rest of the group. Basically this was just a meeting with the principal introducing us to school, hoping we enjoy ourself, and the one thing he said, "Now I'm not sure what you guy's think but our school and most of the school's in the US are NOTHING like you see in the movies". So off we go into the hallway waiting for the first bell for the first lesson. We were told not even to bother bringing paper or pens or anything. So first bell goes, just an average bell nothing different and I follow Ryan to another room. In this room is just a normal class. Now for a bit of the embarrassing part. We were asked to stand in front of the class and say a little about ourselves, our country and our schools (when I say we there was about 2 other group members with me). So after introducing ourselves to the class they had a few question to ask us, of course all of them being stereotypical - eg. Do Kangaroo's roam your main streets? Do you own koala's as pets? You know those types of questions. We never really got to experience an American class, well the American teaching syllabus that is. We had a maximum of two real classes but most of the attention was evolved around us, just continuous talking. One thing I did have to notice was that in EVERY class, there was always a fat nerd But nah everyone got on so well. One thing similar to the movies is that there are social groups, like the Jocks, cheerleaders, geeks, white people who wanna be black people, but everyone got along very well. There was a cafeteria which was interesting system as well, with a unique task of food. There was a maximum of three days spent at the school and well there is way to much to talk about. Through those three days basically we were showed around the school and introduced to the faculty. We did get to experience one basketball night, and that was very interesting, it also had the BEST atmosphere, the had a band, cheerleaders, mascots, massive crowds all supporting there school. I did get to experience riding the bus once, this was on the second day. The school buses though are mostly uncomfortable, but unlike our buses systems you don't need to obtain a bus pass nor do you need to pay. What I also noticed is that the school actually owns their bus. Just a few bits and pieces there gazza, hope thats what you wanted. Sorry if some of it makes no sense

I know that many warnings on cds say that you can copy the cd for back up use so long it is for personal use only... I would have to agree with Gazza on this one

Like I said, schools are nothing like you expect. Different though. Thats all I am saying don't want to spoil it for you. The fam. I was with were really nice... rich too lol. Its good though, the guy I stayed with he took me out to where they all hang out on friday nights and stuff, it was good, I got along with them really well. Just be open about yourself and you will enjoy yourself:D

Just to pass some time in the holidays before I go to America.. I was thinking of going to Jamberoo with a few mates... worth it or not?

HAHA... aww these forums always need a bit of humour

I am currently studying engineering atm and well every text book we have looked in it says cable... when doing materials as well it was referred to as cables... OH WELL BACK ON TOPIC! What do you guys think next year will be like?

i think the reason for not getting one was because well... the park was not busy at all, and like I said the longest line I saw was Indiana Jones... sigh can't wait to ride it again.

Not in those words lol, we went right past the fast pass booth (to get them) and I heard heaps of people in other groups say to there instructors should we get fast passes? You DON'T have to travel in groups at all, but if you get a close group like my sister and I had we stayed together, we all got along well. In San Fran and all the cities you don't have to ponder with each other. Some say you should though, I remember my sister and her friend Emily when in San Fran. a homeless man showed them both his gun and told them he was going to shoot a man across the road.. oh america.. how civil and sensible they are

AWWWW:( Oh well. Something like the rock n roller coaster would of been good there hehe

Not entirely sure. I may have been mixing the lines up I am not to sure, but I remember walking past seeing a massive queue line and some american saying yeah the fast pass line is over 2 hours. But anyway, you don't get fast passes on these trips unfortunately

Really wow. And this coaster that was suppose to be built? Was it or not. Where are these pictures you talk about?

Hate to bring up old threads but I was wondering what was happening about these plans today. Does anyone have any news of this new attraction?

lol sweet i did this last year and my sister did it oh gee back in 2003, 2004... is it called g'day USA? I hope you get a good instructor (the person who just follows you around) because I know that some can be butts! Wait till you experience american school... its nothing like you see in the movies... although the buses ARE NOT uncomfortable. New Years in San Fran is so boring lol, syd. has better fireworks. You will enjoy the trip... its awesome... and cheap:D You can go to six flags man, you can go where ever you want... again you have to have a pretty cool instructor with you. We went, but were not allowed... oh well what they don't know won't hurt them. You will meet heaps of friends, make many laughs... be very tired lol. Word of advice... when your at the schools... just take your time there and relax because you will need to for what will be ahead of you. Knotts was NOT busy... Universal was NOT busy, Disneyland.. NOT busy, more advice (sorry) when you get to disney go straight to Indiana Jones, WITH fast passes the queue times can get to over 2 hours... do all the best rides as you only get to spend one day there. So Disney.. RUN TO INDIANA JONES! Its a great ride... leave me a note somewhere I will pick it up.. lol JJ

In the queue line where it has the boards with all the riders (i think all different) are they sticker lick things (similar to ones found on the brick wall behind the claw)... if so then the queue line is going to get ugly in the future with these being ruined by the weather... knowing dreamworld they won't change these regularly...

I didn't realise that warner village had that much property, its heaps. But you have to remember, you need to put the filming studios in the red area too, they are still use very very much. Sigh, if only these thoughts and ideas would come true

Thats a bit unfair don't you think? Considering people who got there before you had to wait the time, it shouldn't have been any different with you... People like that peeve me off. Anyhow, its good to see different thoughts and idea's about the event, I would of love to have gone but unfortunately I live in NSW. So does anybody have any pictures, videos... anything?

What I love about GR is the queue line... hardly anyone rides it
