The Mine Ride will not be coming back anytime soon. You don't need to be "In the Know" as such to figure it out. It's been closed for nearly 2 years now and as Lotl_90 has stated, it's fully boarded up for almost a year and the stuff there is looking rather permanent. I'm really sorry to dissapoint you WWW_worker but your stories just don't add up. You can't expect people to believe what you say without proof. And i'm really REALLY doubting that Eureka will be opening any time soon if at all.

The only way you would EVER wait 20 minutes for a ride at Aussie World is when the staff are running one of the other rides. This is when you go up to another ride and ask them to run the ride. If they aren't rostered on for that ride, they will tell you where to go and ask.

I don't recall the Xmas holidays at Movie World being busy enough to warrant 1 and a half hour waits for Scooby etc. But then again, with rides like Superman and Batwing closed from the rain, this could have warranted it. I was also unaware that they would close off the line for scooby when it reaches 1 hour waits. Because from memory the whole queue house (excluding the old Gremlins overflow) could handle around a hour and a half of waiting.

Well... technically Lethal was original, as it was the first design to feature the helix at the end

There was never a Mad Mouse at Sea World, You must be mistaking it for the Galaxi (Thrillseeker) Which has been sold and travels as Taipan.

I never thought I'd say this... But Vekoma has beat Intamin at something!

You mean it's whole 7 meters? That would make for some spectacular views! It would rival Millenium Force or Top Thrill Dragster!

Ah okay, I wasn't 100% as to weather it was permanent or not Gazza. I personally hope that Movie World may consider investing in these new trains in the future.

Vekoma have already done that. But how well it works is unknown as the trains are only in use on one SLC (El Condor) at this stage.

Maybe every 90 Degrees counts as a turn, considering most of them are 180 Degrees at least, this could be why. I'm just hoping now Motocoaster is classed as a Family Ride by the rankings, that we go back to the BIG FIVE Thrill Rides. Because the motocoaster REALLY isn't a thrill ride.

I do like it though, but apparently the Cyclone goes "160kph in Seven Seconds!" But at least they have lowered the thrill ranking on the Motocoaster compared to rides like the Claw and Tower. It's a "Moderate Thrill Ride" and the rest are "Extreme Thrill Ride"

As much as I'd LOVE to see a new show, I'm really going to miss PA. It was one of the few shows where I laughed every time I saw it. And it's been a part of Movie World for so long now, It's going to be very hard to replace it.

I just went to check out the Dreamworld website, and it seems it's been rebuilt from scratch. I suggest having a look around.

Theres a weight restriction now? But then again if your of a huge politically incorrect weight, and the harnesses don't close it could cause some issues

Just so you know, Not everything a ride op says is "truth." If what he says is true it would be great, but I'm still waiting for the announcement on this. Also with the B+M Information, I reckon we will see them one day soon. And if we do it will either be a Stand Up, Flyer, Dive Machine or Floorless. As far as your standard coaster goes I think the parks will most likely stick with either Vekoma or Intamin. And yes the C.E.O of WVTP is Indeed John Menzies.

That's what I thought also, Considering the pass was most likely already brought. I personally think having these competitions is a great incentive to get more content. Great idea Richo!

It's more complex to use, It's taken me several months to manage to create a coaster that was actually decent. The end result is No Limits will turn out ALOT better. I mean look at this re-creation of Deja Vu on No Limits! And them compare it to something in RCT3. NOTE: I did not make this re-creation, I just found it on google.

DJ, If anybody couldn't get that drift then there is something wrong with them

Okay, i still don't know what the video error was, but I'm glad I was able to help.

I've clicked the link several times, and every time it links me to a Modern Marvels video, which after about a minute talks about the horizontal movement of the cars. Basically it's saying that sensors located on the floor and underneath the cars tell them which way to move. They also mentioned that they can move backwards, forwards and even side to side.

What? That video answer's the question you asked. You wanted to know how the Vehicles do the horizontal movement, and it explains it. Your comment was frankly rude and uncalled for, and I suggest if you have a personal problem with me, you talk to me in private about it and not bring it onto the forums.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQar9CHM8sw That should answer a few questions. Thats not the Cali one, but the one at MGM studios, but it's the same concept.

Yeah, it's like a whole lot of ugly coming from a never ending parade of stupid!

Now, something I want to know... The people that are posting all this stuff like "I Know what the new ride is" etc. Do you actually work at the parks or are you just posting rumors for the sake of posting rumors and saying "This IS what is coming"? Because until I see an announcement from the parks, I'm just going to sit back and see how it pans out. I do know several people that DO work for VRTP and I do trust there information when it is given out (In compliance with park rules etc.) But when people who don't work within the park come around saying "This IS what is coming but I can't say" and "I Know what it is but I can't say" It makes me wonder what the point is of even posting about it. So in summary, if you KNOW what it is, good for you. If you KNOW and say you do but you cant say, why bother even posting about it at all? It just cheezes people off. End Rant.

I personally think this would be a BAD move for Movie World. I personally think it looks really quite ugly, whereas Main Street looks really good in the day time. The lattice effect looks tacky in my opinion, I can see why Tokyo Disneyland had to do it (Monsoons etc.) But all we really get is rain, which is what an umbrella or the rain poncho's are for.
