Mick Doohan Motocoaster construction discussion
mickey_079 replied to AugustVonPolen's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I thought the shipping containers were there for a long time... not pieces of the tower... those tower pieces wouldn't of fitted in a container. I though the tower pieces arrive like 3 months before it was finally erected and opened. -
Nightmares is great... lol its so funny!!! ohhh its great

HAHA! Your so right! SO SO RIGHT! I'm kind of getting sick of whining residents. Have to agree with churros (ohhh that are so nice), its not as if you can see through it, ok understandable if it was a sky scraper, but i mean its a circle, gaps in it!

Wait WHAT! ^^^^ P.S Tatsu rocks, best coaster ever, when ever you go to magic mountain.... RUN TO THAT RIDE... RUN LIKE THERES 2MORROW!

Hey Gazza. I did a minor modification on SDSC. In between the two stations I put another set of block brakes... I often found that the train was getting stuck in there resulting in the circuit to stop. Also I fixed the entrance and people are now riding it and mechanics fixed it I love what you have done but... its excellent... lol do you have alot of free time on your hands?

Well Cessnock had their annual show last weekend. Usually after entering the front gates you are greeted by clowns, horses and a few food stores... this year you walked in to see... cars parked. This year cessnock's show consisted of only a few rides... The Splash Canyon, this was a first for cessnock and resulting in Maitland show to miss out on having it and other shows in the hunter valley, The Yo-Yo, the Star Chase, Tornado, one dodgems, one mini ferris wheel, and about 4 kids rides... what a disgrace to cessnock... even the carnies looked better than what the show did! Although there were more entertainment shows this year, these shows consisted of the demolition derby, caravan derby, horse racing, freestyle motocross, lawn mower racing and the fireworks show. In previous years Cessnock show lived up to its tradition and excellent show. There would usually be the zipper, 3 sets of dodgems, Yo-Yo, Go-Karts, the Ranger about 6 childrens rides, more than 3 jumping castle, mirror maze, haunted house, 2 other rides were u go upside down (dont remember name sorry), the tornado, live music, freestyle motocross, showbag stands, more food stands, more game stands and they would cram rides in wherever they could fit it. Cessnock thought they would be different this year using the Splash Canyon but because it was expensive they could not afford many other rides. It took 6 semi-trailers to arrive and took 3 weeks to complete... although during transit something happened to ride making it stop up the hills making ride ops push you down the hill. The ride also broke down while I was on there. Not sure if many of you care... would like to hear your thoughts on our show this year and how does it compare to your local show. Also is anyone going to Newcastle show or Sydney's Royal Easter Show?

Awww leave me alone lol. Nah I didn't check the six flags site. When I read it was Vekoma I thought something didn't seem right because if it was Vekoma it was the smoothest Vekoma coaster I have been on... and we all know Vekoma isn't all to smooth. Lol sorry about that. Thanks for correcting me
-
I love Lethal Weapon... I could ride it til my ears bleed (and with this ride thats literal!) Sure its rough... but I think it needs a new carriage design... I went on Batman: The Ride at Magic Mountain and it was so smooth... and it had softer padding in the restraints and I also noticed how minimal head movement was... Funny because its also built by Vekoma (so the net says) so why wouldn't they use the same design? Its a great ride but... you can feel the g's so much and I love the Zero-G Roll
-
Hehe... nah not really... the pressure of the swell usually forces you down into the sand or rocks, the thing that keeps you moving through that is the board pulling at your leg... I wish wiping out was like a ride though Anyway sorry. When do the restraints and seats actually arrive? Or are they already there? How long do you all reckon construction will take place?

Mattcrombie would be your best bet to ask he seeems to always have pictures and news

Nothing could or can simulate surfing matt. I'm a surfer myself and have ask a few friends that and they all say no way! With surfing its all to do with hand eye co-ordination, once thats packed down u just go out and enjoy yourself. But the feeling of dropping in and then riding the greenroom is the best... I dont know why its called the surf rider but.. it just makes no sense, u dont spin and go back and forth when surfing, you travel forwards doing inverts. Sorry wanted to say something
-
No well I connected that small entrance to the arch and i even added a few more mechanics, but it says mechanics cannot reach ride consider moving theming around, well along the lines like that, then i notice no one was riding... so i looked at the entrance and the queue line isnt joined to the ashfault
-
Hey, it looks great! and considering RCT3 isnt that accurate this is awesome! You got some talent. But can you tell me why my mechanics arn't fixing SDSC?
-
Sounds like you had fun, the shrek 4d at movieworld is a clone of the one in universal, lol last time i went to movie world im like yay never seen this b4.. get in there, EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHAT IT IS IN UNIVERSAL! the three pigs, ride operator speaking to you, did they play the, the seat belt is located behind you trick? they did it on us and everyone went to grab it, hehe it was funny as.
-
I have a problem with it. On the SDSPC when it breaks down the mechanics wont repair it, and WWF keeps closing by itself.
-
Why does everyone say the blue train is alot rougher compaired to the red train? It was the other way around for me, and aren't the restraints different?
-
Hey, my cousin just got back from england and he was telling me about robocoaster. I was just wondering what you guys think of the RoboCoaster? For those who don't know its two seats stuck on the end of a metal robotic arm and simulates movements of a roller coaster. I will post a video when you tube is back up. Anyway, what do you guys think of it and could you see it hitting the shores of Australia? Ok here is the link for the video,

I doubt it, our council told us we were getting a theme park with multi-million dollar rides and attractions and just before christmas they blew us off and said, the plan is no longer going to happen. The mean and lazy council.
-
Oh ok ok, makes a bit more sense. Bah, to much work for me
-
Ok this makes no sense... Why erect a multi-million dollar attraction then take it down! Why get it in the first place if you don't plan to keep it? Does anyone actually know the reason they put it there in the first place?

I wasn't saying you were unhealthy Lisa, when you said you are very fit with something wrong with your heart I thought you were just using it as an example, which you were right? I wasn't saying you were unfit. anyway...

Personally, WWW is good, and so is WNW. The only problem I had with Wet n Wild is I got stuck on the slide... why? because something happened to the pump, NO IM NOT FAT! I like both the parks, but i think WNW would have to be better, just because it has a large variety, I don't mind waiting in que lines, its park of going to a theme park, and I agree with richard, if your complaining about walking than there is something seriously wrong with you, it shouldnt take you more than 10 minutes to get from side of the park to the other Oh and Lisa, Im not attacking you, but fit doesn't JUST mean your ability to walk long or run or something like that, fit means your a mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually and socially healthy, it is impossible to be fit with heart disease... lol top of class in PD/H/PE... sorry if I have offended you

i don't like the idea... it seems strange. nearly everyone will be shoeless and wearing swimmers in the park and just to go on a ride they have to get all dry, chuck a shirt on (and pants if u a speedo fan) and some shoes and then wait in line... seems like a big hassle and think it would of been better at seaworld
