Why do we have to steal other parks ideas? I'm very confident we have enough talent in Australia to make a great show. MW just has to tap into it.

Just because Kenny waves at you, doesn't make him your friend.

Sky Voyager is definitely due for its upcoming maintenance, the ride only has 2 out of the 6 carriages working.
That might be for cost cutting and nothing to do with maintenance. After all this time, DW still can't draw enough guest to keep the park open all day during the week. ☹️

Early slow ticket sales, might have been caused by people waiting to see what the weather will do. The start of this year has been super shitty for me, so I have decided to start 2024 from today.

You can't even call that drifting.

Superman was shut down for the same time last year.
Even Aussie World do the standard 4 week maintenance period. (The same standard MW once did before 22,23 & 24. Maintenance has been extended on most rides, if not all)
Make whatever excuses you want, but the facts are, maintenance periods have doubled on all major rides and smaller rides have also increased.

It's MW's save a buck policy. You are saving a lot of money if you shut each ride down for 4 extra weeks a year.

Standard procedure these days.

At this rate it’s probably not going to open at all, it looks like nothing has been done on the ride so far. You’ve got 4-5 months left of it tops before it gets moved
I know you know but for others it's not being moved. It's a new ride bearing a similar name. It doesn't have to be torn down for the new ride to be built so it should still have 10 months in it.

Just close your eyes @Brad2912😁

Last year was underwhelming so why would you go back?

Rides shouldn’t rely on people having seen a low-budget sequel to be coherent.

I haven't seen any of the movies so are you telling I shouldn't ride because it won't make sense.? @aaronm

@TricoartI think you are missing the point of what I said.

You said, Seeing as there’s no exact direct comparison.
You are right, there is no direct comparison so as I said, It is always hard to judge, if this statement is true. Without an direct comparison, all you can do, is guess what the Thunderbolt would cost today.

Something you would expect to see at your local community hall, not MW.

Doubling it is just pulling a number out of your bum, bum.

Inflation for a coaster, is not the same as inflation for a loaf of bread @Tricoart

Jungle Rush itself cost $35 million (per Dreamworld’s Instagram)
Yes, I can read.
People will fall for the marketing spin. If DW was to build the Thunderbolt today, what would it cost? Every year prices move upwards, so every major ride DW build, from now on, will be DW's largest ever investment.

Bikash was allowed but belinda koala wasn't. There's my mark.
Looks like you're firing blanks. Bikash was under attack and was here defending himself as Bikash.

There's an option to do a mild/wild choice with alternate cars - and it doesn't cost a dime extra to run!
I also think Australians can take a fair bit of force - even though our choices are limited.
This shows how bad the operations are at our parks - and yes I sound like a broken record player - but rollercoasters are high capacity, they've just gotta be operated better!
Rivals has a advertised capacity of 960rph, I've witnessed rates of around 200rph. (To compare - Velocicoaster running 2 trains is 768rph)
I'm all for another gyro swing if its the next size up - a ride on The Claw and and a ride on CraZanity are so completely different.

No! keep going. We love reading the same shit, over and over.

No different to running 2 trains in peak periods and reverting to 1 train when it's quite for a a coaster or in MW's case, run 2 trains when you can be bothered to. //s
