I still can't get my head around the fact that they are installing a dry ride, but it seems that WVTP's know what there doing!
Anyway, great pics Joz. The thingI liked about these pictures is how you got close-ups of all the brakes and wires that control the ride, very interesting!!

Amen to that!!Instead of looking how about someone takes some pics? (Please)
I think when djrappa said there was alot of twisted metal track, he was putting more emphasis on that the track is already arrived and adding that word to the sentence adds more excitement. E.G: The track is not actually twisted.
Anyway, I hope this gets put up quickly, I'll get to ride it in September!!!YAY

I got 3 questions for ya Tony. 1. How up-to-date are these doco's? Do they show coasters that have just been built. E.g: Expedition Everest & Tatsu. 2. Waht is a Torrent? 3. What type of format do these videos come in? And what type of player should I download, if the format can't be played with Window Media 11. Thanks, CoasterBoy8

Seeing that sketch makes me want Surfrider back in Seaworld. The theme just suits Sea World SOOOO well. Anyway, That design is really, really good. It blows my mind how you can draw the track so close to the real thing!! And it's probably the best concept drawing yet, *High Five* (say in Borat accent). Just a question, What are you going to do for a living when you get out of Uni Gazza? You should be an architecture or a designer of some sort. If you have a very imaginative mind, you can go places. Take Walt Disney for example
!!
Thanx for sharing your drawings with us Gazza. I'm looking forward to your next one aready!!

Cum'on people, we have had this talk soooo many times before!!
I don't know why people are still bringing it up. Anyway, as much as I am sick and tired of these types of threads, I'll still pay recognition to good ideas.
As for your idea Ash, it's OK. The only reason that I don't like it is because you are wiping out warehouses/buildings for a little bit of space. If you can find an empty space to move those warehouses/buildings to, than I think this is a great area for the park to expand.
And also the idea about moving Looney Tunes Village (FORUM MEMBER: ihatemisssly), It could be done. But, you would most likely losse a lot of money in the processe. However, as I said to Ash, If you can find another area to place LTV, then I don't see why not?

P.S:
This should never be done. I REPEAT: This should never be done!!!!!A charlie and the chocolate factory ride will replace the river ride

If anyone wants to view the "Guide To The Gold Coast" special on Getaway last night, try this link:Gold Coast Special It comes in three parts: Part 1: Hotels and the outer regions of the Gold Coast. E.G: Coolangatta, Mermaid Beach. Part 2: Shows all about Surfers Paradise. E.G: Shops, attractions and Resorts. Part 3: Themeparks. They show Movieworld, Seaworld (non of the rides
), Wet'n'Wild, Dreamworld and a tiny snipet of WWW's entrance.

Unfortunately the Left hand (bigger) slide is only open over the Christmas period during the week and weekends during summer.
BOOOOO! Only during the summer, what about the other slide?
The other slide is open all the time though and still packs a punch.
YAAAAAY!! I love Hotel Waterslides; it feels like you have then all to your self!
The Sun City is a great resort but Jesus it's expensive. It's more than $200 p/n.
WHOOW!
That's really expensive!
Anyway, back on track, where is this hotel located? It looks like it's right next to the beach; is it in Surfers?

What are you referring to, your firends or the North Melbourne AFL Team?we went on SE with a few of them and WWF, they were screaming like girls over the top hat! and a few of them chickened out on WWF, said they did not like the look of the drop lol. Whimps!

Ok, after reading your post Gazza, i can now realize how stupid I was in saying to join the parks!!
. And the thing about firing staff, i really didn't mean it, it sort of came out because I just heard about where the "surf rider" is going. Woops! 
And the coment that I made about the seats being water proof, I was thinking of the seats that have padding. Like the head rests on Lethal Weapon.
To end on a positive note, I think that adding a flat ride to a water park is a very good way in seperating themselves from their competition. Especially if the ride is avaible to ride in bathers!!

P.S: Sorry if I've confused or have offended anybody in my previous post. -
^So what your saying Richard, is that WnW could be turning into a:
Or even better"water-based activity park" , mabey MW and WnW are going to join, making more room for expansion for MW. They could also do what all the major parks in America are doing: Adding the waterpark name to the dry park name. E.G: Holiday World and Splashin' Safari.
Anyway, whatever WnW wants to do with this I don't really care. However, what ever they are trying to do, so that they can seperate themselves from WWW, better turn out innovative or WnW will be back to square one.

I posted this up in another topic, but it seems more appropriate here: This is um, a really strange choice for WVTP's?
.I'm just really suprised that they are going to put a dry ride into a massive waterpark. Mabey they changed the Half Pipe from Seaworld to WnW becuase of the rocket slide and all the other new attractions at WWW. And the only way to top/beat that (but without copying WWW's idea of the rocket slide) they had to bring in something BIG to beat WWW at it's game. So they are now bringing in a dry ride. .
I really think this is a funny attraction to put in a waterpark and I think they should fire who ever thought up this Idea. However, they could customize it to make it a very wet ride that does need bathers. Mabey it's going to have water sprays and jets that hit you as you fly up and down the half-pipe. And WVTP's could also have talked to the manufacturer, so that the seats can be waterprof and also the carriges.
What are your guys thoughts on this new attraction?

Sounds like your having a great time! Geez, i never thought the lines were that short in Feb. It seems like the place is only filled up with overseas tourists. Anyway, looking forward to the WWW and DW trip report and pics
!!

Looks like your in luck DWRulz!! Man I'd be sooo peed off if I missed out on ridin Superman
. And to think that I was worried about Tornado! Anyway, hope MW Keep these dates, for your sake.

I love your thinking WnW Rocks, LoLWooo! Maybe that's where they'll stick the new motorbike accelerator!. Nar, serious, if they took down the house and the ampitheater than this would leave alot of room to expand the park. Mabey there is going to be a new area?
Back on topic: Where would they put the house? The Fox studios is in the heart of Sydney isn't it?

I don't really care how they got the phone/camera onto the ride. I'm just happy that somebody has taken the liberty in making an on-ride video; even though it's against the rules. Anyway, I don't know why Australian parks are so unhappy about having cameras on the ride?
. Most parks in America and around the world let you take cameras on.

WARNING - This first paragraph is important: One thing about the Blue-ray on the PS3 is that you won't get the full quality of the DVD if you don't have a very high definition t.v.
Alot of people don't realise this and will probably what there moneys back only to realise that their t.v's is what the problem is.
As for what I think about it: Well it is alot of money and because I don't play PS2 enough to fully enjoy the new console, You won't see me getting it. And if I do I'll be getting the one with the smaller hard drive and also making sure that the price has decreased alot!!

I'd like to know how they did the in-door section as well as the stop before the launch. I'm also baffled about the smoke?!?! coasterBoy6

The guy who built it seemed very laid back. Saying that he built it out of scrap metal and all. I don't think he paid any attension to the physical forces that your body will encounter through the loop!
It looks worse than lethal Weapon!

These are really cool, and some what realistic!! My favourite is the Ripsaw! You can control it alot more than the other simulators CoasterBoy6

Great trip report. Short but sweet! (I like) It's funny how everybody stares at you because you're going down the emergency exit!
And some of them even follow you OR they think twice about going down the normal path.

Yay!!, It got ranked just after the Superman hyper coaster by only small margine! That hyper is supposed to be one of the best rollercoasters around!!
It also got placed before the Dueling Dragons Fire, which is another top rated coaster!! WAAAHOOO, Go Superman Escape!

That's a really good point tom! However, out of the 6 million the park probably used a max of 2 million (probably even wayyy less) for maintenence and mabey only 1m for Flowrider and another 500,000 for Nightmares and Dorothy's Rosy Teacups Ride. So that adds an extra 2.5 million/3 million to this years budget. CoasterBoy6But remember, that money doesn't necessarily go into OLNY adding new rides, does it? There are thousands of things they could spend thousands of dollars on, behind the scenes areas of the park, and other maintenance and repair issues. -
Yay!! Hopefully Dreamworld has an ongoing relationship with Atomiq. They've done really good jobs with the Claw and WWW so I can't wait until I see the themeing ideas for the new coaster! CoasterBoy6the coaster is going to be themed by Atomiq
Anyway, great pics Joz. The thingI liked about these pictures is how you got close-ups of all the brakes and wires that control the ride, very interesting!!
