  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. Docks are not airports. Why fence half a car park for storage and only use 1/100th of it?
  4. 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.
  5. 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?
  6. It might be a giga coaster. Add another 100ft to the start and share to the workshop.
  7. 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?
  8. If they continue the green lights along the fence line, there wouldn't be a need for green supports. It could be the supports are not black or green because GL is already using these colours at the front of the park. It would look a bit strange having green supports coming out in the GL compound.
  9. The supports being grey could have nothing to do with the theming. The colour might have been chosen because it doesn’t stand out. If the supports are dark grey, The track is magenta and the train is green would you call it a Joker?
  10. PMSL I just pictured @djrappa falling of his chair in laughter now dark grey has been confirmed for the supports. "I know, we will all know the theme once the train arrives". This is super funny and I'm loving it.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. @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.”
  14. 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.
  15. 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
  16. Ok I get it @Gazza I should have not used all the bad words to describe this post. I do standby that @pushbutton post is worst and should be given this award ( @djrappa "And I think we have a winner for one of the stupidest posts to date.) Did the trucks make a wrong turn? It's been 3 hours?
  17. @mission I'm looking at a marketing level. Not everybody knows what a hypercoaster is so you still have to sell it.
  18. People do realise that not every container with tarps on them have coaster tracks in them. As a matter of fact, any container that needs to be loaded from the top will have no roof on it.
  19. An update to the car park which has a bearing on the hotel. In regards to the application for parking station City Officers did not bring a recommendation before the City Planning Committee, on the 15th March 2017 as we had originally expected they would. Officers had however advised the Applicant that the recommendation was to be a Refusal (on town planning grounds) and I had also met with the Applicant, and their consultants. We had a frank discussion regarding the key planning issues and concerns that had been raised by the Oxenford community during the public submission period. The Applicant subsequently elected to not extend the decision making period, and yesterday, they advised they have instead chosen to commence a court process regarding a ‘deemed refusal’ of the application. Whilst it remains early days in regards to the legal process, I fully expect that the City will maintain its position that the Application is inappropriate development for the lot and contrary to the planning scheme. In short G.C.C.C. has refused the application for a new car park and MW will be taking the council to court.
  20. @themagician That's my problem with SS. It's not great. MW is about to unleash the greatest ever ride in Australia. Nothing I thought I would ever see built in my lifetime and people are ok to slap on a name referenced to a not great movie. Like me a lot of people don't know the original SS so all we have to go on is a not great movie. Question for people who know. Is the name Suicide Squad a tile for the movie or were they always know as SS?
  21. @MaxxTheMonster True but as I am not a superhero nut at least I knew what the GL was. I never heard of Suicide Squad before the movie came out. I know it’s not happening but Mad Max would have been great. A bit of home grown Aussie pride into a ride you can never go wrong.
