Spotty

Hmm... I've seen that waterpark before. It seemed to have a "Twister" type slide there too. You should have gone up 2 days ago and come to the Gatton show though Gazza! I was working there

As far as I am aware for RCT3 there is no Spooky Island theming as much... but you would find some useful stuff in the "ScreamWorx" Pack for RCT3.

Yeah. There would be no real point in ditching the Big Brother Arena. The area could be used for functions or concerts as it has been used for in the past, such as The Wiggles concerts and more. Also the arena has actually been part of dreamworld for a while before Big Brother. I wonder if Ten would have to pay Dreamworld a lump sum due to terminating there contract early. If so I wonder how much it could be and how it would be used. I can just say the next few months after Big Brother finishes could be interesting...

Hmm... The Gobo could be a way to go. If a Public school can have them, why can't Movie World?

How would Pamela's appearance make any difference? She would have been under such tight security and probably brought to Dreamworld in the very early hours of the morning. Also attendance on weekdays outside of holidays is very hard to estimate. Due to the fact school groups etc could be attending. Mondays and Fridays are normally the busiest weekdays for the parks. Attendance could range from 1500 to 8000. It just really depends.

Ah... so that explains the reduced capacity thing with the Drop. Either that or it's broken But yeah. We only went on Motocoaster, Drop, Claw, Wipeout and... Wait. I think that was it! But WhiteWater World was GREAT! Apart from the slight chill factor!

LOL! After waiting what... 1 hour?! So do they close the gates at 10,100 peeps?

Oooh... so that is why Rapids is suddenly down. And I know what you mean about the ridiculous number on Wednesday! It was above 10,000 wasn't it?

Hmmm... thats very odd. Thunder River was working fine on Wednesday when I went. On another note AVOID Dreamworld right now! The queues were horrible on Wednesday. Giant drop had filled all the switchbacks and was down to the log ride. Wipeout and Claw were overflowing, same with Tower, Motocoaster and Cyclone. I think the most shocking thing was the Reef Diver queue was filled to the brim also!

Probably due to the water stuffing around with the sensors. That ride was constantly plagued with maintenance issues so it's not really a surprise to see this happen. Sorry for the lack of posting, but i'm currently in a caravan at the Redcliffe show grounds preparing for the redcliffe show before traveling up north for work.

ANOTHER bird? If that keeps happening they are going to have to have a special code for that too! I do remember the Wild World incident... lets just say after the 1st show, they stopped the tower running when they were sending the Peregrine Falcon off the tower!

LOL... Thats a stuff up and a half!

Hmmm... Slowing down mid launch is understandable as that would be a common Drive Trip. However having it suddenly accelerate again... thats not so normal And since when has the Tower NOT been Ebraking lately!

I honestly have NO idea why that rule is in Place, I haven't heard them enforcing it lately, it just depends which op you have I guess. A lot of the things Dreamworld do I have no idea about, So I just don't bother questioning it anymore!

Hmm... I still like the "If you are over 5ft 10, please remove your shoes as it helps the bars close" rule. And the Tower is really starting to show it's age. Was it stopping mid launch and slowing to a stop or e-braking (going into the Bog Pit behind the station)?

Why must we be cursed with the BAD Intamin rides! At least give us a good one Sea World! I am sure it will be better than Motocoaster, because of the location. But we can only hope Intamin have fixed the issues that Motocoaster has for this ride.

Ah... nothing like a good old E-brake. I just love some of the peoples faces as it happens. It's hard to describe but it's sort of a "WTF... Should we have come back out of the station!?" Face. That and I'm sure the ops appreciate the little break they get when it happens.

Not to mention the very creaky noises... but that's a whole other story!

If it's truly a Intamin Motocoaster, I don't think it will be very creative... I mean look at MotoCoaster But then again it is Sea World, and they always make there rides creative. I mean look at Bermuda and the Vikings Revenge, how well are they suited for there environments. I'm just hoping that when track arrives it ends up being Vekoma track and not Intamin!

Hmm... so thats what that Cherry Picker is for. We now know everything ahaha! I also love it when Claw turns into a Carousel after a fault

Wow, some old stuff there! I have various WLS maps and Movie World maps from over the years somewhere. And how retro was that "WordArt" Bermuda Triangle photo folder! I have one somewhere. Thanks for sharing these with us Gazza!

Ah yes, Lethal Weapon lifthill issues... I remember in 2004 when it was constantly stopping and starting and then BANG... the whole motor crapped itself. That was almost a brown pants moment, i'll tell you that! If I remember correctly about 3 days later there was a crane removing the top of the ride and installing a new motor! I've also had various general ride faults, from Tower of Terror doing a Drive Trip, and the Drop stalling halfway up the tower. As well as Claw faults, Cyclone etc. It's not a day at Dreamworld for me with at least one thing going wrong...But lately it's been alright.

Now, there are many things wrong with those emotions... I don't know where to start Gazza! But at least they came up with a slightly creative storyline behind the ride... Now if only they could re-incorporate a story into the Tower, Drop and Cyclone and actually theme the rides. But then again this IS Dreamworld.

Mmm... so this Superman Escape running in the rain must have been a trial then.

Light rain I can handle, but when it's pouring down... yeah. OUCH
