  1. I'm on the northside as well, but I don't drink coffee. I love muffins tho =) There are a fair few snobby people round here I'll give you that, but there's also an abundance of 'bogans of the beaches', it's not all lattes & mochaccinos. Anyway shifty, you have alot of growing up to do in regards to your views on 'gays & freaks'.

  2. does anyone have a recent wonderland park map that they can post onto the forum, as recent as this year, last year, and as a bonus does anyone have park maps from like decades or years agao, i would greatly appreciate if anyone could post them into the forum.
    Yeah I've posted a park map from 1995 in the wonderland section, in AlexB's thread...
  3. The footer placement in the pics from Dreamworld look like they could be the footers for the edge of the ride platform (as seen in this pic from Intamin http://www.intaminworldwide.com/img/BILDER..._R/GYRO_SWI.jpg) They look similar in distance anyway. But thats highly unlikely, I'm not even sure the edge of the platform would have footers. Heres a pic from Intamin of the smaller version http://service.escapenet.ch/publisher/pict...6a_10324210.jpg I'm not sure even that would fit with what we've seen so far at Dreamworld....

  4. Well it seems like we'll have to settle with the smaller version of the gyro swing :( According to Intamin its measurements are 16m (I'm not sure if they mean the distance between footers or the length of the swing shaft or what really, but thats what it says on their website). & Scott, well that really depends on your definition of crappy, but IMO the gyro swing looks like an extremely enjoyable ride. Have a look at Intamin's website & see for yourself. http://www.intaminworldwide.com/r_products...thrillrides.htm

  5. My Wonderland video is now online, but on a different site. Robb Alvey & Elissa White have awarded me an honorable mention for the video contest. Click here.
    Yeah, congrats on the honorable mention, I saw it there this morning :) Great video btw, really nicely done (I just wish there was a POV shot from Bush Beast in it hehe). Btw, what was Wonderland's policy on cameras on rides?
  6. Was anyone here working at wonderland when it was under the management of Todd Coates? What was he like as a manager? The reason I ask is, I met him in 1996 and he seemed like a really great guy. I was in contact with wonderland, expressing interest in the theme park industry etc, & he actually asked me to come in & meet with him so he could chat to me about it all & show me some of the business side of things. He just seemed like such an enthusiastic, nice guy. This was back before Sunway, when rides were actually being put in. (Space Probe had just been recently installed when I met with him & he took me on it). So yeah, thats my fondest memory of wonderland; meeting with the general manager, getting to see some of the behind the scenes business, being shown the inner workings of space probe, & getting a vip ride on SP :D

  7. Yeah I'm not one for expensive hotels; when I'll be spending the majority of my time at parks, all I really care about is whether the room has a semi-comfy bed or not :) Thanks for the heads-up in regards to the socal citypass, I probably won't be heading down to San Diego at this stage, but if I change my mind then I'll definitely give the pass a go :) (I may wanna try out Atlantis at Seaworld if it's open by then). Do you know if SFMM still has twickets? Last time I was there I bought a twicket to return for another day at a small cost. (similar to Dreamworlds 'second day' offer). I'll be at SFMM 2 consecutive days, so hopefully I'll be able to buy a return twicket on the first day, then use it the next day.
