  1. I couldn't find a better photo, but my first thought would be to put this sort of thing over the support legs like the old claw - The base looks very 'unfinished fibreglass' so it's likely getting covered at the bottom.
  2. As is typical in ride construction threads, updates taper off once most vertical construction is completed. We will see updates when it undergoes more testing and\or finishing touches are added but for now the conversation is pretty stagnant, and this is what happens when tangential discussions spin off. Sure, it's off topic but there isn't any specific rule to that is there? The conversation on King Claw will return when there is an update.
  3. Lol - nobody attacked you for your opinion - And all I did was counter it with my own. As for website quality and functionality - you wot m8?
  4. With village operations, this doesn't prove how busy the park is, only how efficient their operations are.
  5. probably needed to update the style in line with the updated WB logo. I'm not sure how I feel about it. Probably nostalgia kicking in - i'm going to mull on it a while.
  6. QLD, NSW and VIC and the NT have all finished school holidays. The other states either finish today or tomorrow. Being a weekday, out of school holidays, I can't imagine there'd be a lot of folk visiting WWW. Can someone do a driveby of the WnW carpark?
  7. Jesus Christ - you went back 13 months to quote this? There is only one possible argument that Dreamworld is a half day park and that argument is that their ops are efficient enough that you can actually ride everything. The confronting truth is that while village might have the bigger blockbusters - they don't have enough to spread the crowds out, and tank their operations with slow load and unload procedures that blow out queue times to several hours. It is ridiculous on a stage of worldwide theme parks that a little Mack HyperCoaster on the gold coast consistently drives wait times as high or higher than the biggest and most popular theme parks in the world.
  8. It's almost as if making the park a circuit instead of a bunch of dead ends makes sense!
  9. Greg Yong* The ride consistently gets a queue, though how much of that is attributed to slow operations due to an incredibly clunky harness system, i'm not sure. The park is still on a razor thin line, so I can't see them binning a perfectly operational attraction, no matter how average it is, until it reaches end of life or becomes uneconomical to operate.
  10. Motocoaster was a prototype and is approaching 20 years old. it's copped a lot of hate it's whole life. I'd love to see them consider other options for the site than simply retheming the ride - though if they can improve on the restraint design as part of the retheme that could revitalise it.
  11. News.com ran a story on the queues to get into Sea World over the weekend. Never-before-seen queues for Sea World | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site for latest headlines Slow news day. Wish they'd get rid of those green screens though.
