I asked the ride op. when I was there (there bigish looking guy) why only one train is being used but both are on the track, he said sorry buddy cant tell you, but all I know is that it is unecessary and takes up alot of time. This was on a not so busy day and I havw to agree it did take along time, even though no body was being loaded onto the blue train, the ride operators still had to ensure every harness was locked in, and the lines were getting massive. When we finished the rides, we were sitting on the block brakes for a while before they would let us back in the station.

You can still see the theatre, its next to the castle, its where all those poles, the poles im refering to are the queue line poles. I don't really remember the Gremlines ride, all I remember is that the last I went on it was in 97. From what I can remember it was a good ride, wasn't it a water ride type thing? Like the looney tunes river? Or am I thinking of something I went to in america. Does anyone have a picture of the blaze? I remember it happening but it wasn't in 2004. And they didn't totally rebuild the top half, they dont have the ghost anymore and they dont have the big explosion up the top because that is what started the fire. But noone was injured, the fire took place after park hours, aparently it was an electrical fault.

Yes but why wouldnt they leave the blue train in the docking station (the repair station where they work on them)?
-
Someone fell out of the clover leaf on the tornado when I went and it looked and SOUNDED painful, they were screaming because they reckon it was very painful, it happened twice. First time was at night and going up the wall the first time they let go fell back and rolled not slide down the middle of the funnel and the 2nd time was someone fell off before the steep drop but they came out first and the tube was about a metre behind him... the tube sliding fast and being heavier ran over the person. Looked OUCHIE!

The ride IS alot smoother with the blue train running. But for some reason they always have both trains on the circuit now but only let people on the red train.

That is exactly what I was saying Jack. As if I would go looking around for pictures, I will just wait here and let them come to me, hehe.

The technology for this type of ride is actually still not that old, its very basic but a very bare amount of rides use this type of technology, its cheaper in maintainance as well because the bounty's engine had NEVER been replace in its life at Wonderland, and the one at Wonderland Canada has NEVER been replaced, why? Because the copper coils in the engine arn't worked as much because the engine switches on and off during a cycle. Where as the ships at the shows blows engines all the time because the engine gets the ship upside down and pulls it back down. Sorry I forgot to say before, the ride's shell at canada isnt a pirate ship, it is a space ship. Here are some pictures that my uncle took last year:
And here is a picture I got off a website:
As you can see the setup is exactly the same. -
where is the video!? I can't seem to find it.

The park from what I saw definately has potential... but its just a matter of them to stop adding little kiddie rides or carny like rides. I think they need a multi-million dollar expansion, only thing is... where to get the money from.
-
Thanks champ.I understand IMO is for "In My Opinion". -
Is there an official website for this park? Im interested in the park layout and what the rides are and then I can start adding to this topic.
-
Right on gazza.... NOW BUILD A WOODY MW! hehe. I don't even know what type of wheels they areI have wondered about tha, but if polyeuathane wheels were used, and sound barriers/tunnels were placed by the track (like Balder at Liesberg) i think the neighbours could be kept happy.

WVTP= WARNER VILLAGE THEME PARKS well i think, if I am wrong please correct me guys On the subject of abreviations... what is IMO? I cant wait until the tower starts raising. Do they have to put the gondola on the bottom tower before erecting the rest of the towers pieces?This might sound "nooby" - but what is WVTP? :S I'm sure I know what your talking about in expanded form... *dunce* Oh yeah... this looks awesome!! I will def. be going on this... if I have the guts. @Swanny - I think 2 or 3 weeks before the ride opens you'll start seeing some adds, but probably not before. It is x-mas season after all, and while I'm not a hot-shot marketing guru, I'm sort of thinking advertising Batwing (and WWW?) now won't be as effective considering people are looking at spending their money on Christmas prezzies and such. Hard to make sense of, but AFTER christmas you'll probably get a flock of ads. Probably... I'm probably way off.

No offense but sometimes I dont know if the members on R-C are a bunch of little kids, seriously you have a problem just say it, the other person has a problem with them just say it to and then forget about it. Don't keep going on about it. A forum is for personal opinions... thus this my opinion
Anyway back to topic:
Now... has any got any updates or pictures of the wheel? -
How exciting! Is that the new WWW staff that was in the pools and on the towers?
-
You take somebody who has there licenseHmmm i wonder what happens if you don't have a license? I've entered btw.
-
fast pass?

A ride couldn't really go behind the leathal weapon because of the filming stages, they are still used all the time. A woody wouldnt be able to go behind WWF.... the damn neighbours! But it was a good idea.
-
Hey thats not a bad idea. It will be like, were you going for schoolies? oh im going up to the gold coast, and the other person says oh for the massive party and you say NAH! for the sexylicious slides.... hehehe love itWell I can't see that becoming the new slogan but maybe it'll become more popular as time goes on...
Maybe it could be part of WnW's H20 Schoolies thingy... Sexylicious Slides... Geez, I dunno... never employ me in the Marketing area... 
Actually, I think that deserves a spot in my sig... Will do that now! -
HAHAHA SEXYLICIOUS! AHAHAHAHA I LOVE IT! I REALLY DO! I think were gunna have to start hearing that more often.Dreamworld sounds sexylicious
-
OMG ITS AWESOME! Is that the frame for the gondola?! Awwww I wanna ride it now! lol.
-
I remember first time I went on the GD I was PACKING myself, lol. I was like saying to myself outloud OHHH GOD! OHHHH NO! and that was only the first 20 metres! Haha, you the falling sensation is great, feels like you floating on air, and when you hit the brakes with your arms up it is so hard to keep them up, they get sucked into your legs. The claw doesn't make you dizzy, but if you ride it heaps of times you will get sick, not from the spinning but from the g-force. But a tip when you go on it, dont hold your arms up, put them out straight in front of you and also stick stiffen your legs and stick the parallel with your arms... why you ask? because when you reach maximum height and your face the ground you come out of the seat and the only thing that catches you is the harness, its a great felling and adds heaps of thrill to the ride, do the same if you ever go on the sling shot.

No no, it didn't seem like you were attacking me.

No I go there often on hot summer days. Ok Ok, I live near the beach and surf all the time and am on the beach all the time, I think it may be just because I am use to the heat, because on hot summer days at the beach when friends come to the beach with me they always complain about the temp. of the sand and im fine, I have tough feet
And Lisa I said that I havnt been to Wet N Wild with friends only, I said it clearly, and you the reason why.... it's because I'm only 16, my parents would never allow for me to go to queensland with friends for a week which is why I said I am going NEXT year with my friends. Sorry if that seemed like I was attacking you, I wasnt.
