@djrappa I never know how to please you. Yesterday when you said, you were coming over last night to cut my grass, made me think you liked mowing. I think you had the setting set too high because when I checked today I saw no difference in my yard. -

I almost fired up the Iphone to capture the cutting of the grass @themagician -

Now the electricians have finished the rough in for the coaster the site has gone into clean-up mode. -

Land sculpting is the order of the day. Wasn’t going to do a drive-by on the way to work today but the traffic was so bad I had time to have a look and grab a coffee. Both empty containers have now been removed from site with no new deliveries. After the electricians made a bit of a mess of the site we have a fair bit of earthworks going on today. The soil is being steamrolled and levelled around the footings. We also have a few guys cutting the grass again. -
I would like to see when you join you are asked to rate several attractions. When you have only 18 people rate Superman out of over 7000 members all you can really say is 0.002% members of Parkz rate Superman as the best attraction. I can see it being a good tool but needs more input by members. I have even thought that “very occasionally” when you go to post it might ask you a question about a attraction.

Nobody is hot under the collar here. No calming is required at all because we are just having a conversation and throwing some ideas around. Nobody can take a hint so I just think I will leave it at that- Monday 27.03.2017 1:15pm Update The assembly work area (the car park) has seen no action today. The gates have remained closed. 2 empty containers remain that once housed the supports. The crane is still in the current location it was left in last week. The 2 temp structures have not been worked on since last week. On track. The top of the concrete caps’ are currently being water blasted. A grader is parked in the first site office compound. -

Like I'm saying. They do not jumble containers up at the dock. Read what I'm saying. "The coaster IS being held back at the docks". 4 Containers were released last week for the construction crew to see for an unknown reason Master Rapper said it's not sinister. I said I'm happy with that. Coasters like this don’t arrive every day in Australia and it will be a first for everyone involved. My thoughts are the construction crew wanted to see the coaster, see how it was packed and how long it would take to unload a container. I believe by dropping the 4 containers off last weeks they could plan the logistics of getting the coaster from the docks to MW without having 200 trucks sitting outside of MW waiting to be unloaded. What I'm more interested in is has JL & BW opened back up and has anything changed? -

Docks are not airports. Why fence half a car park for storage and only use 1/100th of it? -

I don't think it's sinister but my strange alarm is sounding. To only deliver 2 containers of track and 2 containers of supports and nothing else. I would have thought once you start moving it out of the shipping yards it would move quickly. If you say it’s all going to plan, I’m happy with that. -

If I couldn't get on at work, I wouldn't know what else to do during the day. These days @djrappa flips out so much nobody cares anymore. I would be interested to know your thoughts on what you think has been the hold up in getting the coaster to site? I know @MaxxTheMonster got the ship right even if he didn't realise it himself. Which was weeks ago, now. So, after weeks of this coaster sitting at the ports they decide to send over 2 containers of tracks and two containers of supports. You can tell by way the steel construction team inspected the track last week it was them that requested to see the track. It’s obvious they can get the track into the car park, so what do you think is the reason the coaster is sitting in the docks and not being delivered to MW? -
It might be a giga coaster. Add another 100ft to the start and share to the workshop.

Stupid post made by @djrappa -
I'm trying to get my head around this top-rated list and I just can't see how it truly reflects anything. You yourself have given Superman a 9 and have not even rated Wipeout. If you hated Wipeout and say gave it a 1 it would pull the overall rating down for that ride. Your overall rating of Superman has helped lift the rating of it but because you didn’t give a hypothetical 1 to Wipeout you never dropped the rating of it so how can you compare them to each other. I started rating rides and got bored of it after a few and said I will go back to that and never have. Some of the ones I have not rated yet are higher than the ones I have completed. If I ran a poll do you really think DD will come in the 3rd best ride for 2016?

Topgolf Gold Coast Construction
New display name replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It is déjà vu but I think this is beyond stupid. When DW and MW were built, it was in the middle of nowhere. You would go up the lift hill on the thunderbolt and see nothing for miles. They have allowed people to build closer and closer to the theme parks. Most of the economy on the Gold Coast is tourism. Without tourist, the Gold Coast will die very quickly. The government have forgotten this. The consequences if Luna Park closed is nothing compared what would happen to the Gold Coast if DW & MW closed.- 499 replies

I haven't seen the appeal yet it should be online in the next few days. I think you have nailed it on what MW will be appealing. People hey. Buy a house next to a theme park and complain about the noise.- 499 replies

Topgolf Gold Coast Construction

@joz Apparently, a car park of that size has never been built in a residential zone on the Gold Coast before and they don't want MW to be the first. This is what the local member said about it. “there were over 150 submissions. Traffic, zoning and amenity were the key planning issues at the start, and the key planning issues at the end. There is no other example in the City of a landowner in a residential zone that is operating a 3-hectare car parking station.”- 499 replies

I don't think it's too soon. Somebody has to be first. The bar is still low on how far you can take a joke in regards to it. -

This was the container that was on site at 5:30 last night. The containers in your photo's are 2 new containers. Who's wishing we have supports in this one? We will know for sure once we know the support colour hey @djrappa lol -

Are DW saying the rides will attack you? I'm confused.
