Someone on TPR gave a good suggestion of what the ride story could involve. Here it is
From goatdan Personally I thought it was a good idea, but what do you think about it, or do you have any other ideas., while with the Terminator itself, you think of the "machines", this movie is supposed to be set in a 'post-apocalyptic' world. Well, with a little bit of creative theming, the ride could essentially have risen out of the remains of the scorched earth and could be made to look like the remains of buildings and whatnot. Add an in depth queue line to this, and perhaps a tunnel or two with some Terminator units in them where you are going slow enough to see them, and some sort of ending and this thing could actually be a winner theme, I think. -
Sorry, finished a 12 hour shift at work, sorta skimmed through the topic, my mistake, guess I gotta re-do the list. Well look there I did miss Soarin'.

Doc Brown stop disrespecting people on what they say. You're just making yourself more and more unwelcomed and needed. Definitely the gremlins I miss at MW. But since this is a topic about favourite rides, well here's my list. Coaster - Tatsu, Rock n Roller, SE, Dueling Dragons (ice), The Riddler and Hulk Dark Ride - Spiderman (IOA), Haunted Mansion (CA), Indiana Jones Flume ride - Wild West Falls, Dudley Do-rights Ripsaw Falls, Jurassic Park (Hollywood) Rapid Ride - Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges, Grizzly River Run Tower Rides - Giant Drop, Big Shot, The twilight zone tower of terror Ferris Wheels - Sun wheel Shows - Police Academy, Lights, motor action!, Traveling Ride - Skywalker Walk thru - Haunted house at USH (forgot the name) Simulator - Back to the Future

Something is re-opening ai? Well I drove past Tomteland the other day and I stopped for a seconds, to my surprise.. the slides had a lot of workers around them, not the mention what looked like they were replacing the ride sign. There also seemed to be more cars parked in the car park than what there usually is too. I thought it was nothing exciting enough to post but it may just be now.
-
Uh yes and what does that have to do with what I wrote? I know you didn't like it, but I was saying they replaced it instead of mere expanding as you were saying because it was outdated, and could have possibly not been to popular.
-
It could do. Viscosity of the hydraulic fluid could be thicker when its cold, just like a car I guess.
-
But cadboy that Movie magic attraction was outdated. Compared to similar attractions such as the one at Universal, it just seemed to lack the "magic".
-
GREAT! Looking by a few of the holes lined with rocks laying around the track... we will be seeing some water. Can't wait to see the progress in a months time. Thanks Gav.
-
What you mean along with the rest of the world?With all this new news anyone would think MW had just gone into serious finacial crisis. -
So has anyone heard about the proposal for the ferris wheel at Darling Harbour? The ran a 3 month trial of a portable version not long ago to see the numbers. There has already been alot of people saying no to the idea. What's with plonking ferris wheel's everywhere now?
-
I thought it was only flash photography... We saw heaps of people take pictures of the preshow without the flash, but as soon as someone took it with the flash on, they asked them to stop.
-
It's called slick tires, some have diesel jets around the wheel arches.All this plus the fact that their set is slippery as your local fish mongers rubber glove!
As you said before, there good for rallying when there set up, but don't forget, rallying is in big open sweeping corners. Rice burners have no place in small areas, they require long sweeping bends to actually drift. I think that's what we need, just the small European cars, nothing else, nothing more.Cars that suit that small area -
Shame there using rice burners in this thing. I think the aussie muscles (the only ONE that is) will add a nice touch.
-
So whats the reason for nearly all corners to be ground huggers? I really really hope water features can be incorporated with these.

You pay over 200 one way for a ticket
Ah who on earth are you flying with!!! Even last minute booking isn't that expensive, and if you're only going to be there for two days or one night, why not fly light and just take carry on luggage.
We just bought our tickets for flights and got them at $80 return per person.
Anyway, I think the prices for SW, WnW and MW are getting a bit ridiculous now, but DW isn't too bad at the moment. I like how they offer a second day at the park at a very low price, and I also like the $15 entry fee to Whitewater World after 3pm. 2 hours there is definitely enough time for me. -
Unlucky. Ghost rider was running sweet for me when I went. Ghost rider is just one of my favourite woodies, the first drop is really intense. It was a much smoother ride than what Bush Beast was. Too me I guess a woodie should feel rough, it just seems to suit them rides.I was very relieved to survive Ghost Rider in July last year, it really felt horrible. Never want to have that feeling on a coaster again. Have been on other woodies that actually felt SAFE yet had insane airtime... -
I didn't find the floorless coasters I went on any different. Gazza was there any extra excitement or intensity due to a missing floor when you rode these? I would love to see a woody like many others do.
Nope not at all. If you follow the instructions how to straddle the ride correctly it offers a very fun and exciting ride. Heck I have even see guys just lift there legs and sit on the saddle. Like I said but if you don't follow the instructions then you can get a few pains in your legs as your get further and further into the ride.. Except are they uncomfortable to ride, restraint wise? If so, is it more so for guys? -
Again Gazza thanks for these pictures. Like I said before the transition between banked turn to banked turn looks sharp. I think now (personally) that this will give a much more significant ride to MDMC. I'm still loving those grounding hugging turns.
-
Thanks for the picture Gaz. Although that Kamikaze sign reminds me a lot of RCT3, it just.. has nothing to it.
-
Just a quick question, was Cedar Point very packed like it usually is?
-
Thanks Joz. It doesn't seem that there is much difference in the angle of the banking compared MDMC, although the transition seems shorter. I noticed there seems to be supports very low to the ground (in the first pic), perhaps there might be a water feature around the banked turn? This is going to create an awesome illusion of speed. Can't wait for the finished product.

It's good to see you're having enough time to go to all the parks and take some low quality pictures on your phone, so whats your excuse for not finding my camera yet if you have all this time on your hands?
-
This issue surfaces again, replacing these 'old school' filming lights just wouldn't fit in with the theme, but hey neither does the 'sail'. Is keeping the lights on ALL day really necessary? I mean it's not as guest's can't see in front of them. Besides, aren't the parks going for a greener look now days, promoting the ways there trying to help the environment. Correct me if I'm wrong as I have no knowledge about it, but wouldn't those lights take a lot to power?
-
Shouldn't those things been looked into before they even bough the roof? It would seem stupid to purchase this roof, not thinking of the effects and then when its finally up figure out ways to fix the negatives... After seeing these pictures I simply hate it! I personally would of preferred the transparent roof style like at Disney Tokyo, but this doesn't even let sunlight in. Just from the pictures the street seems too closed in, hopefully this is just what it feels/looks from pictures and not what its actually like being there.

He needs a good smack around the head, that will sort the Doc out. But in all seriousness, Doc Brown, every active member on parkz is telling you that your being very immature and writing pointless stupid posts... did you stop to think that maybe you are? We aren't attacking you, we aren't all against you, we are trying to help you out, so just do the part and think about what you write and think about the advice we give you.
