I drove past an hour ago and they were working @Brad2912 on the turn around.

When I think of Ardent & DW I think of 3 things. 1. Since Ardent acquired Dreamworld it has been a Robin Hood venture. 2. Ardents investments into DW has always taken the minimalist approach. 3. You can only squeeze so much juice from one orange. As an enthusiast, I’m always wanting the most out of our parks and after a few years of Ardent controlling Dreamworld I came to the realisation, Dreamworld would never deliver me a decent coaster. For this reason, for many years I have wanted Ardent to sell DW. I might now finally get my wish but looking at the current buyers I am very apprehensive for this to happen.

@ads086 I grabbed the next photo in google for you since you are talking about the old 4 across train.

What Arrow 4d Coaster are you talking about? The earlier large 4d coasters all the compact 4d coaster?

Is this the same situations @pushbutton? Nobody do what I just did and watch the Parque Warner Police Academy Stunt show because it just makes you said.

@Theme Park Girl I also read an editorial back in March about Garry Weiss buying shares. "Share raider Garry Weiss purchased up about 5 per cent of the company's stock back in March as a possible prelude to forcing board and management changes." "Garry Weiss is known to buy a strategic stake and purge the board and management as part of a strategy to lift performance and the company's share price." Garry Weiss removing Deborah Thomas may be the easiest way to increase share prices.

The Australian ran this headline last October. Ardent Leisure headed for split after Dreamworld tragedy

Yes Brad. A few companies might think it's a good time to make a play for DW.

Somgcheng was the company talking about Legendary Kingdom at Nerang last year. I still don't think that was a traditional theme park and I think the word theme park get thrown around too easily.

I do like the Intamin track when it has 4 rails but when it reduces to 3 or 2 rails not so much. The Mack track looks like a cheaper knockoff of Intamin. For me at the moment the sexy track award would go to the hybrid track. I like the roughness of the matchstick constructed supports with the sleek modern track. @AllegroCrab I didn't say you can't upload it. I don't make the rules.

I don’t understand people uploading a video of a B&M coaster and say it is comparable to a Mack coaster. Why can't people just say it's 98 metres longer than Mack Rides other Hyper Coaster. Talking about one ride and putting up a video of another is something the Gold Coast Bulletin does.

They are using the same white crane in the car park that was used last week during the instalment of the first element. The smaller more mobile crane previous purposed for this job is installing the track near the brake run. I’m taking a guess here that it would be easier for the smaller crane to get to the back of the coaster. The total track length is 1370m and my prediction was we will see “at least” 137 pieces of track because I believe Mack Rides track segments don't exceed 10m for shipping reasons. (This does not include the track to the maintenance bay).

That's 450m approx. away from the first element that went up. I think it would be better to talk about the current element being built. New supports have been going up today at the turn around location.

The GL would be a great spot to set up a web cam looking down the main straight of the coaster during construction. The new signs acting like a boarder.

If they end up out near the front road, I give it days.

The best way to answer you is paste what Richard said in his update. " These straight sections feature side brackets that will likely support a catwalk along the ride's final brake run. There are also mounting brackets for fixed magnetic brakes on the top of the right section of track. The left section meanwhile has an indent that will likely create room for friction brakes."

Another Skeet theory is this is only set up for the announcement photos or advertising. This might not even be the toppers they will have when the coaster goes up. Picture this, the bosses of MW standing here talking about the new coaster coming.

There is people in this topic seriously suggesting "Pirates of the Carribean"

From my memory a few shareholders were not pleased with her being appointed in the first place.

Right now when you read the name of this topic is does not reflect what @pushbutton wanted to talk about. I'm not having a go at ParkChat either. I think they made the right move changing from a theme park site to a light-hearted chat show but I do cringe sometimes with some of the things they say. Going to a couple of parks in America does not make you an expert.

They weren't looking at toppers. They only had the one. From that time, they have added the Village one. They also had a neon light that they were playing with which they haven't added. This might be the finial layout but they have been playing around with it over the last month. Question, what part will light up? I'm looking for the light everywhere. STOLEN photo alert. TPSN credit.

I absolutely don't like this line of thinking. ParkChatLive was doing it last week. They have a segment that goes something like you have unlimited money and you can do whatever you want to an Australian park. The other week they turned Dreamworld into Disney. Last week the turned Sea World into California Adventure Park. I believe Movie World is there next episode and going by their track record Movie World will become Universal Studios. I, for one once would like somebody to come up with an idea that is not a copy. What’s going to make Australian parks great is if they are different from any other theme park around the world. Give somebody a reason to fly from another country to visit.

But it's ok to knock the fence?

I thought if you are going to advertise village as you enter the park you would be better off adding SW & WnW signs along the fence tops as well.

I generally follow a few peoples' lead in Parkz. If they are saying it, I wouldn't be man enough to go against them.
