About 2 days ago I was watching t.v, when I switched to channel 10 and noticed that "Scope" was doing a show all about waterpark science, and you guessed it at WHITE WATER WORLD!!
. For those people who don't know what "Scope" is, it's a childrens science show, and has some really really chessey jokes in it. However, some of the terminology that they used to describe how the waterslides worked, I couldn't even understand!
Now here is my problem: the show goes for 21mins and is 106mb 
. It was 2.5gb before, becuase I got it straight off the t.v, but I decresed the size and quality (but it is better than you tube quality). I have also zipped it!
I can't upload the video onto this website, because the upload limit for one item is 10mb.
I could upload it onto you-tube, but would that decrease the quality of the video even more? And can I just upload it in one go, or will I have to split it into 2 videos (e.g: Part1, Part2)?
Either way I'll try to get it onto the net!!!, and if you have any other Ideas about to get it up onto the net OR how to decrease the size, (I would think that you guys don't want to be spending 100mb, just onto one video), this would be helpfull!
Thanks,

I Agree!! I really hope that WnW gets some thing very new. Something that will revolutionise the waterpark industry (I can dream i guess). They'll probably get a second hand slide from another defunct park!Now... things are going to get interesting...
Anyway, If I was to choose I would get another tower up in H20 Zone. Put a bowl in the middle and 2 tubed speed slides, wrapping around the bowl. The new tower could be called, Storm, and the bowl called, The Hurricane, and the 2 speed slides, Thunder Run and Lightning Strike. 
What do ya guys think?

Really!!??, this is strange. They must be making way for a lot of room. I hope, if they use so much land for the coaster, that they include some decent theming and some really cool special effects! Another thing that should be on every launch rollercoaster, and lacking on Superman, is a count down to the launch. I always thought that Superman should of had one of those set of lights that you see on surburban train tracks. It would go red, orange than green, and then you would launch.... Ahhhh, welll, I can dream!! CoasterBoy8The Vintage cars are re opening up behind the log ride. -
Well this is the first time that I have heard anything about it. I didn't think that Warner Bros. are connected with the Simpsons? Aren't they with 20th Century Fox? Although when I was at Crown Casino a couple weeks ago, they've got a big Warner Bros. Shop, and they were selling Simpsons merchandise. Anyway, this seems like a very, very big rumor. CoAsTeRbOy8

Wow!! They have started already, and it's only going to be finished at the END of 2009. Anyway, i'm preety sure that 100 million is for all the groud work, supports, development of the area (in the picture you can see grass and path ways) and the wheel. Anyway, I hope this wheel brings more tourism into Melbourne, which will tell them that bringing in a themapark is not such a bad idea for tourism (i hope that made sense)! CoAsTeRbOy8

WHOA! That looks amazing.
Love the waterslide that goes into the water with the killer whales in it. And it also looks like they are going for a Eight-Lane Octopus Racer. The 2 Wave pools that connect to each other look really good, and the themeing I think is absoulutely OUTSTANDING. I mean a lazy river with live fish and sealife swimming around you!!
As said in that 20-minute video: Seaworld has created a very original and creative concept, I'm sure they will get profit out of this project. Not only have they made a waterpark for thrill seekers, familys and couples, but they also give the Disney Waterparks a run for there money!
I'm sure Orlando doesn't get that cold during winter. Orlando is alot like the Gold Coast. If you have been up in the Winter, there are still alot of nice sunny days and beats Melbournes winter weather by far! Anyway, thanks for pointing this out myk. Loved how they presented the press conference with all the tribe and ancient land storyI'm going to America at the end of 2008.. it will be in winter though

This made news headlines for thw radio station 3AW, down In melbourne. I'm not sure if it's called the same thing in other states, but yer it was said!
LoL!!! I can see yer point. But on a serious note, what type of chemical could have kiled these poor things? CoAsTeRbOy8And of all the things in the world to be killed by - gravel. -
No need for pic, since people already know what I'm taking about!
Well, I guess that's true!!LOL, well building the thing would be a good start.
Seriously I don't know how much tourism they are going to make out of this wheel? It just seems funny that they are going to install a wheel that is shorter than the London Eye. What claim to fame does the Melbourne's one have? (EDIT: silly me! Of course it's going to be the biggest in the southern hemisphere.)
I've seen some pictures of where the wheel is going to be located. It looks like they are going to place it in-between shops and modern buildings. I think they might be extending the Docklands for the wheel. To me I'd rather they got the movie studio park than the wheel, and I think most of the other people here would have as well.
What are your guys thoughts about this?

Hey, wait a second!!
That same wheel was working near the smorgies (all-you-can-eat) in Geelong. I didn't go on it, but It looked like people were riding it. It also looked very perminent!
I'll post up a pic of it when I get back from school!

I agree with everybody here, it just looks soooo out of place. The Shak at Seaworld looked way better than the one at WWW. Ok, just picture this: Your looking around and you are taking in all of the atmosphere around you. You can hear soft laughs and screams from the waterslides when your eye-sight is caught by something really out of place (the Shack).
This is an eye-sore and should be removed!! THE END 
CoasterBoy8 -
Whoa, these are the best pictures I've seen of WWW yet! Got to love pics 4 and 7. Looks like you had agreat time, but comon, do you have to write up such a long trip report!!
Not saying it's not good or anything, it's just that it took me 10 mins to read it.

Yer, I think it is undeclared. I went on the Oasis webpage and searched restuarants, It came up with this:Oasis Chinese Buffet It's the only chinese restaurant in the shopping center, so it must be the alll-you-can-eat. Just a little tip, there is the oasis shoppinng mall and then there is another small shopping center right next to it (they are parrallel to each other). Between the two shops there is a carousel, and a Mac's, an Ialian Resturant that is expensive. However, I think it might be between the hours of 5.00 or 6.00 when everything is half price. If you need any other help with prices and Gold Coast things undeclared, just post on this topic or send me a personal message. CoasterBoy8

Oh
, My Mistake!
So I guess that there is a good chance that W'n'W will be getting the surfrider.

In that video, they show the car being taken up by a cable then, the cars are swiveled around so that the riders are facing forwads and they you are let go - This is Vekoma's version of the Half-Pipe. The one that WVTP's has got is from Intamin. Intamin's is LSM powered and gradually speeds up and down the track until it reaches the top. Unlike Vekoma's, were you get pulled to the top of the track by a cable and then let go. Plus the cars don't spin while your sliding up and down the half-pipe (on the Vekoma that is). I think that we have the better of the two different models. Mainly because Intamin's does alot more than Vekoma's; Thrill wise. Anyway, did anybody read the "latest themepark news" about WVTP's Profits? It states that Seaworld's overall profits are down. Meaning that there is a very good chance, that when the Eye is taken out, that the Half-pipe will be taking it's right-full place in Seaworld. YAY!!

It is a great idea, except the tweety bird ride is pretty popular ride in Looney Tunes Village. Mabey they could take out the Splash Zone (with all the water fountains) and place it there. That should be enough space for the 2 car design. I wonder what they would use for a "thrill" flat ride. They can't go for a gyro swing or a Space shot. I know!!!, what about a Screamin' Swing by S&S. It could be placed in the Wild West area and "The Whip" OR "Gunslinger". What do you think about this Idea guys? Anyway, Spotty, could post up the website/s were you found the other models and were I can find videos for it. It seems more a family ride than a little kiddy ride. CoasterBoy8I think this ride would go well where the Tweety Bird Cage ride is, and could be themed to the Tazmanian Devil spinning out of control. -
I'm thinking of subscribing Richard, but, I'm going to have to convince my dad first!
Anyway, could you post up what benefits you get from subscribing and where can I subscribe on the website.
I would also like to know if the payment is by Paypal. If it is then your in luck!
Thanks,

Hey "undeclared", I got the prices for the Chinese all-you-can-eat. These are just rough prices (I'm not really sure what the prices are cause they probably change every year): For kids it's under $10.00 - about $9.50, $9.00 For adults it's over $10.00 - about $11.00 If you are not keen on eating the "REAL" chinese food, they also have things like: deep fried chicken, hot chips, prawn crackers, dim sims, sring rolls and soup (I think it's Chicken and sweet corn soup). Anyway, I hope this has helped in he planning for your trip and I hope you have a great fun filled time doing the themeparks and all the other really cool attractions on the Gold Coast. Oh, and make sure when you come back, to write up a trip report about your holiday.

Ay, guys did anybody notice another topic about DW's Motorbike Coaster? It was one of those "pay the subscription" ones, so I couldn't veiw it. If somebody knows what I'm talking about, than could you post up what they, meaning other subscribed forum members, have been talking about in that topic.
Only if you are a suscriber of course.
I agree. Things only start to get interesting when the parts make it out of the cotainers and onto the ground, and that's when we need pics!!Yeah well it's not really special, shipping containers. And as Richard said, there is still heaps of ground-work and preparation before all the footers and supports are up, let alone the track.

First of all, WOW!! YOU HAVE NOT GOT TO BE SERIOUS!!!! $1344 JUST TO GO TO THE THEMEPARKS!Now lets see...that $64 per park which is equal to $192 and there are 7 of us, so thats $1344 Total.
Whoever said that "you were being cheap" when you wanted discounts, may not be in the same finacial position as forum member "Undeclared".
When my family and I go up to the Gold Coast each year, we try to get discounts. Believe me, eating out in the Surfers Paradise region is not a very cheap thing to do.
I sugest, if you are staying in the Broadbeach area, that you haed down to the Oasis shopping centre. In side there is a chinese all-you-can-eat, which has really nice food for a very good price.(I have forgoten how much it was, but I'll post up the prices when I find out)
Anyway, When are you going up to the GC? I'm going up in September (look at signiture) and are going to Dreamworld,Movieworld and WhiteWater World.

This is what I'm hopeing for!!The third of the most common rumors is that the park will be investing in two new rides, with one to be a family attraction and the other to be a thrill ride of the Flat ride style.....
. But where would they install them?? Looney Tunes Village is about packed to the top with flat rides, so I don't think they would be puttin the kiddy one in there. The thrill ride (flat ride) could go into the Wild West area, mostly because the only attraction down there is the WWF. OR ,as some forum members have been saying, they could take out the Lethal Weapon show building and install a flat ride there. If they did install two new flat rides, mabey the kiddy one could be a traffic Jam flat ride (THE PIC IS ATTACHED DOWN THE BOTTOM) apparently it got the best family attraction award in 06 when on show at IAAPA.
As you said thunder001, Rumors are getting placed nearlly everywhere on this forum and you can put as much trust into them as you want. Therefore, my trust goes to your "Thrid Most Common Rummor" because I like the idea of installing more flat rides, even though it would be nice for MW to have a unique Studio Tour.
p.s: IT WAS MY BITHDAY YESTERDAY - TURNED 14, YAY!!!!

^^Yer WnW Rocks that would be cool. First stand-up coaster for Australia, but you still have that fact that it's being installed into a waterpark. It's really strange that WVTP's choose a Waterpark, that has been getting new attractions for years now, rather than Sea World, who has not got a perminent new attraction for ages! CoasterBoy6
-
Yer, I wish I could just hop on a plane and fly to the gold coast. But, as my sigy says, I'll be heading down with my family for 9 days in September. My little bro (he's 8 years old) loves thrill rides, and was really peed off last year when we went to movieworld and couldn't ride SE or Lethal Weapon!!If you haven't been on it i highly recommend it. .This is what made us ride SDSC over and over agian. LOL, Not that I'm complaining though!!!
Anyway, I'm sure he will want to go on the Bro as well. He also loved the new and improved Buccaner Bay, so I guess he will love the Nickelodian Pipeline Plunge!

Unfortunately, I didn't end up going to the old special effects show at Movieworld, but I would really like there to be one. Something like the Backlot Tour at Universal Studios would be a great addition to the park. They could include something like Catastrophy Canyon and Disney MGM Studios and you could also go through a fake set. Like in Universal studios when you go through the city streets, which are really sets and props. The things you see on the tour could also be changed every now and then, so that it keeps up with the latest movies.Museum and behind-the-scenes type attractions are some of the most popular at parks like Universal Studios and Disney-MGM Studios and make up a significant percentage of the total attractions.
I love this idea as well, it would really appeal to the little ones and junior school kids, but then again high school students studying film etc. would get a kick out of it. I really like this idea because there is a hands-on approach to the attraction. Most of Movieworlds attractions are rides, and there is no real interactivity in the attractions; this would fill the gap nicely. Hopefully, Movieworld adds one of theses types of attractions to their line-up of activities. As Richard said, it would make MW a full-day park and add some flavor to the park. CoasterBoy8Think of something along the lines of Questacon or the Science Center in Brisbane city, but with exhibits explaining how special effects work rather than scientific principles. -
Great Pics WnW!! I like how you got the close-ups on the faces of the riders on the cyclone, STHC and green room!!
I like your style Dreamworld Rulz, but as WnW Rocks said:New mats + faster mats = More airtime
There won't be much airtime now. I'm sure if your light enough there would be some airtime, mabey not like the video on WWW's wewbsite though!!Yeah, the new mats are crazy, but they're really difficult to lift up as you go over the dips. .
Anyway, with in regards to the people getting stck in Super Tubes, how did they open the netting? Did they strech it open or is there like an emergency opening if theses things happen?

Thanks, for the help. It should be ready by today, mabey after lunch and I'm either going to be using Gigasize OR Divshare. EDIT: I'm keep on trying to upload the video onto Divshare, but the upload keeps on stopping/corrupting. I think I'll just use Youtube. CoAsTeRbOy8
