I thought the same as you too. When I saw the photo of the ride I thought the circle was an extra and was hoping they would not include it in the MW ride. The angle of the top mount and what it is connecting is what has changed my mind. I also believe the reason why it will be constructed latter is to allow ease of build around the motor & gearbox area. I like what they have done with the arms so far and think it already looks better than the one in the photo. As long as the keep it going throughout the rest of the ride I think MW might have pulled it off. For other people who don't follow me or haven't seen the connection points I am talking about. 1. Connection to column 2. Bracing connection point back to main column. 3. Blue arrows is the twist and loads getting put back into the foundation.

It's a bit hard to go off a picture at the moment and I'm no engineer. To me it looks like the circle is used to help transfer some of the load down the centre column. Also it also looks like it braces the top of the motor by locking it into the bottom of the column.

Yes I concur with you.

No that would be the arms. Middle post or column or tower.

If you look at the bottom half of the pole on each side you can see where something will connect. If you look at the top, it looks like something will connect there also.

Did I quote you? Good reason to become part of the crew @Wyncenuros I can edit all day. I saw a concrete truck on the way to work. The back of the truck was mixing 1 part cement, 1 part sand and 2 part gravel. It was heading to Movie World.

When did your friend see it driving down the road? Was it yesterday or 18 months ago?

I'm with you Brad. I would rather see DW not spend money on it. It was crap. It was rough and short. The first half of the ride, nothing happens. It only had a couple of small drops then it takes a few sharp corners at the end. At least when it first opened the first part of the ride did something. (But that track is long gone) It reminds me of the motor coaster except in reverse. The motor coaster starts with a small punch then after that you just what to get off.

Roller Coasters can be found at carnivals. Big ones too. Olympia That would mean next year Movie World are getting another carnival ride.

They seem to be having a few problems installing the ride. When the tower went up I saw them lifting the motors up. The next day the motors where sitting in the pit and sat there for weeks. The arms where being installed yesterday and now the arm is back down on the ground. Is it really a carnival ride like people have said because to me you can erect a carnival ride in a couple of days? I do like the effort move world have put into the colours.

I hope we do get a second train and maybe with all the bad reviews MW received at Christmas, just maybe MW are trying to do something about it.

need I say more. I think I forgot to say thank you. "Thank you"

That's not what we wanted. We wanted 2016 Movie World.

@Spottyare you saying that a full train and a half built train was on track at the same time? (sorry I'm a bit slow & I don't mean the half train was moving around on track) I believe what you are saying. I can only see enough wheels for one train in the photos. I think we need a 2016 Movie World topic like the DW one. But as @AlexBpointed out I am too lazy to create.

@themagician Can't really see the seats and the parts on the ground are old.

I did see them pull the trains apart and I'm with Alexb. It’s normally practice for the parks to send the parts out to get them refurbished. The wheel system was still sitting in the park the other day and I believe idiot facebook page had a photo of it. Side note idiot facebook did not say new trains he said new seats.

Yes it is true I am lazy but it would only take 1 person to do it and your 831 would be no more. I know at least 3 that would. If we has a system that for every 10 likes you could only do 1 unlike would protect your 831 likes but if you really say a dumb ass comment then I have a dislike to smack you with.

Nope POP did now. To be fair I was asking for everybody to dislike the post. Just wanted to prove the dislike think does not really work because it will be abused by all. POP is going to get a dislike no matter what his say which is funny but really screws the whole system up. If I cared about the like system I could dislike other people’s post just to move me up. I think a like should be worth more than a dislike. If I had a fight with AlexB I could go back to everything he has said and dislike all his post. I don’t think I’m mature enough to control myself.

Why are we still talking about MW in DW. Dislike for all.

I have grabbed some of the comment people are leaving about the accident. “These rides are also not safe in India” “Secondly, Trials are done only to find these issues which happened as before they go to public, in any case, rail, fun ride of anything, in Trial runs, they are pushed to their limit and in cases beyond limit to that edge line to make sure all is ok and working as desired. This accident is the very reason for which trials are done to avoid public loss. The workers are those men who build and possible was supposed to operate the machine so they knew what they are doing. I would credit the builder for proper trial run to break the machine and save possible accident on actual public operation.” “Why is no one wearing over-the-shoulder safety belt? Management should install safety belts” “It was not employees who took part in the trial, it was all poor teens from nearby area” I like the one where it was ok because nobody from the public was hurt. Sounds like India don’t have any test dummies for the testing of rides so they get people off the street.

I'm a bit sad now that I never got to ride the rowboat.

Very good work. All along we just had to ask.

I thought the same thing but then we would be showing our age.

I don't think you are understanding what I'm getting at. I do like the idea and think it was a great idea to incorporate the stairs. It would not have cost them anymore money to get it right. I’m would be pretty sure the brief/idea would have been to make the stairs look like a fire escape to a building. I think they forgot about the doors. Which is what makes it look worst. A door to god. A door to a window. They might be applying a sticker over the doors latter on to match them in. It’s like the big downpipe coming out of the tree. I hoping there is more to come on this too and they will be turning it into the trunk of the tree. I’m only being picky because MW went to so much trouble to do it right and I believe they have been left down.

What are you talking about @Santa07. That door is the shortcut to god. The more I look at that backdrop the more I don't like it. The idea is right but the scale is really bad.
