  1. Maybe another water ride...they haven't added one for a while.What I think it wil probably be though is another water slide.
  2. I really can't stand those tea cup things,they make me sick
  3. Yes,one ride-op is needed,and that means that they shouldn't have another to speed things up does it? And yes,of course it would be slow,but it still could have been alot faster. And I honestly don't care what you think,everyone has their own opinion and mine was that theming was good,I didn't say on all rides.Besides,I don't think theming is incredibly important,only for people who are going for the first time,and families. Qoute Slick=Why am I insulted by this? Seriously,why are you? It's nearly as fast and feels the same except for the directions in which they travel.
  4. I just got back from a day at DW with my friend Matt and my dad.We got to the park at 15 past 10,which wasn't too bad but we still had to wait about 15 minutes to get in.We weren't even in the park yet and we were already in a queue. We'd already had the whole day planned out but my Dad decided that wasn't the way to go so we got on the Claw first. The claw looks amazing.The gardens and the general ride are really good.After about a 20 min wait we got on.There were two ride op's on and the line was moving well.The seats were really comfortable,and so were the restraints,which is good.Athough I'd seen the film clip many times It was still alot more then I expected it to be.It looks like a small ride but when you're on it it's great.Not holding on during the ride feels amazing. After that we headed for TOT.The queue was about 15-20 min long which is pretty good really.The ride is a very simple concept and gets a bit boring after a few times.It's stil fun and exciting but it's always the same thing. Afterwards Dad headed off to central cafe to "relax" while Matt and I went on Wipeout.The queue was about the same as TOT which was good.They were using the fountains but not on our cycle which annoyed me.The ride was good,fun as usual.After that Matt and I did the Claw again (10-15 min wait) before going to central cafe.Matt was starting to feel sick.Dad wasn't there so we checked out the queue for Giant Drop.It was pretty small but because only one side was working and the operator was half-asleep the queue refused to move.So we went back to central cafe and found my dad.We had lunch,(actualy Matt didn't have anything which wasn't wise because we later realised that was why he was feeling sick) and after that I pointed the I-Max theatre to Dad,so we decided to meet him back there three hours later.We went to Eureka Mine Ride,which was fun as usual but quite short.The queue wasn't long which was good. We then went to Blue Lagoon for a while.Only aqua loop was working so we didn't stay all that long.The water there is really murky and I don't want to know what's in it.After that we went on Reptar Runaway.The queue was short and we were soon on.The ride is slow,rough,and short,so it wasn't that great in the end.Afterwards we found my dad at I-MAX and soon we were in the queue.Although the queue wasn't very big the tower only had one side going and honestly,the people DW employ.The ride op (only 1,which is just stupid considering it's the worst capacity ride in the park) was incredibly slow,it was ridiculous.After a 45-60 min wait we eventually got on.I kept telling Matt I hated him for bringing me on the ride.The station looks incredibly tacky,I was amazed.The seats didn't look great either.The winch to the top seems to last forever,I couldn't believe the view,you can see the whole of Surfers Paradise from the top.It's pretty peaceful up there,considering that you know what's about to happen.The annoying thing is how the gondala jolts slightly from time to time.The drop itself is amazing,people say it lasts for a long time but I thought it was quite short really.I thinks it's best described as TOT but down rather then up. After that we went to Eureka again to show my dad.He liked it but didn't think it was great.Then we went over to Cyclone,which we though was going to be the last rid of the day knowing Cyclone.We actually ended up waiting a minute to get on.It felt like compensation for GD's queue.The ride was better then I remembered it(probably because the queue was so short),pretty rough but still fun.We went on again after that and waited about 5 min.Then we raced over to TOT,making it in time to get a ride in the front row.The ride is much better in the front.Matt and I wanted to try and get on GD but dad decided it was time time to go home so we left at about 10 past 5. Rides/Attractions = 8 and a half/10 Atmosphere = 8/10 Theming = 4/10 Service = 5/10 The park is looking fantastic and we had a great day but DW really needs to work on GD,it's there best ride but it's queue is just so slow.Theming wise the park is doing okay,the service was pretty bad,but apart from that everything was good.
  5. I reckon these coasters look a bit strange and not all that good realy,but I'll have to ride one before being the judge of that.
  6. That sort of thing is uncommon and won't happen again.
  7. I reckon-100 million is a fair but for a ride.
  8. I suppose height isn't the only important thing but the higher the better still It'll stand out well on the freeway.
  9. So out of any of Disney's rides what would be your favourite?There are a few at DCA and and DC that I haven't been on,but I think I can still have a say Space Mountain is a great ride but I don't think it's the best.2 inversion isn't that much,and the launch isn't all that thrilling.Indy is also great,and I love the theme,but Big Thunder is probably my favourite.I love the theme,the ride is long,fun,and smooth.But if you included Disney Studios then Rockin' Rollercoaster is esily the best.
  10. Yea, it's going to a top hat (well I'm pretty sure) and that was also my first reaction,40 metres is pretty small,especially for a top hat coaster.That's the same height as Cyclone,which is pretty small,as long as it's faster then Cyclone I'll be happy
  11. I agree Mack coasters look great.Anyway back to the point I don't think an indoor coaster would be that good for DW.DW's rides are about impression and an indoor coaster isn't really their style.I'd love to see a Jurrassic themed flying coaster over the island at gum tree gully,or a B&M floorless at Ocean Parade.
  12. Damn it stop with Mack already Adam! Yes they have good coasters but they are not the best. And yes I agree it will probably be an Intamin,considering the ties between the two.
  13. Hmm,it's a while away but yes,still good news.Considering that DW's too latest attractions have been The Claw,a flat,and Nick Central,then the next ride may well be a high speed coaster.Dreamworld's also doing well at the moment,and with Warner Village bringing out new rides then that further increases the chances of it being a coaster.Or alarge thrill ride anyway.They're are few things I think DW should really pay attention to for the new ride though,IE. capacity. This ride should bring crowds from other rides to it and hopefully reduce ques.
  14. From what i've seen from RCDB, it loooks alot better then ours,well in terms of rides anyway.They're pretty different parks.Is warner bros in Germany better or.....?
  15. Look's better then ours,I'd love to see the other WB's parks.
  16. Wipeout is a much better ride than most of DW'S others,of course we like it.Also,I'm surprised to hear the fountains were on,I hope they're going when I'm there on saturday
  17. Agreed.Now for the rest of the parks.
  18. I reckon flat rides are meant to be outdoors and don't look all that good otherwise.
  19. Except for WWF. And apart from the flats at LT MW does have another flat...Batman 2.
  20. There is a difference between an on-ride photo and this.I just don't see much point in buying it-it's just watching yourself on the coaster,I would never watch it.
  21. There is plenty to do at MW,when I last went we spent the day quite easily.It's a pitty to see that LW was closed when you went.
  22. I hope it isn't opening in October because I'll be at Heron Island then. Also Gazza,what sort of flat rides would you have in?
  23. I mean it's a shame to see the park deteriorate so badly,that's all.
  24. I was talking about the dvd itself.All you see is your face either smiling,laughing,or screwed up in agony(Thunderbolt).
  25. A bit sad to hear this if you ask me. I have no idea how you can like TRR.Despite having potential for high capacity we waited an hour for a ride that was boring,poorly themed,and didn't leave us with a single drop of water.2 freinds,my father and I are going to DW in a week and we're not even bothering with it.
