Does FOTWW have these?

Even if you put aside the fact that this would be the worst decision they could make, the simple fact of the matter is Village's ego would never allow them to buy a second hand ride from Dreamworld.

Isn't wicked witch a ground level station? so theoretically someone could wander out the rear of the station and into the envelope if ops aren't paying attention?

Hasn't that already been discussed, and the 100m was more like all of the work put into scoob, flash and woz combined or something?

That's way too much capacity for MW.

(it's sarcasm)

Not my photo, I don't use instagram, but this is what I saw making its way around (original poster unknown)

Speaking of track records, the relocation of Flash says if the above rumour is true, Batwang version 2.0 opens in Summer 2037.

not gonna lie, given we were expecting this super large, cut gemstone, the 'thing' they've put on top kinda looks like someone ate some corn and... well... you know...

I mean, I did say MOST. 6/9 is still a clear majority it's still a track record though...

They've certainly got a track record, but i'm sure most of those attractions, when closed, they had every intention of reopening if they could.

What the fuck does that even mean?

a little overly dramatic there. more likely they've had to close it for replacement parts that won't be available in a known timeframe so they can't forecast a reopening date. Or they liked our suggestions of a drop tower of sorts to replace doomsday and they don't want to have both in the same park...

Much as I have no appetite for the likes of Abyss, HangTime is quite a good little coaster. it's my son's favourite, and it is the yardstick against which every other ride he goes on is compared. I would love to see a model like that here, assuming our climate doesn't fuck it up like Abyss

Hangtime occupies more space than the boomerang. From memory they had a top spin or something similar behind the boomerang that also got removed to fit in the station and exit shop for hangtime, so it's a little bigger than a boomer. Also, for the love of god - please nobody give them ideas for more coasters. I like them, but that park doesn't need more coasters right now - they need good quality high capacity flat rides that take the pressure away from the coasters and have far less moving parts for things to go wrong.

I think the way the old international awards ran (what was that guy's name?) - where the system was weighted - it didn't just ask what your favourite was, it asked what you'd been to, and then it considered how you ranked that ride or park based on how many people who had been there had voted. Obviously a bit more complicated than a forum poll however.

Dreamworld don't need to show high performing numbers, village just needs theirs to drop. they would budget based on forecast attendance - if their attendance drops, that should be enough to kick them in the pants.

Yeah you're not wrong. Someone pulled a lot of online data for park queues around the world and the top 10 parks around the world for longest queues included the big disney parks, universal, and little old movie world.

you forgot 🎶Hello and welcome. You are about to board the MRT. Metropolis Rapid Transit. Your safety is important to us, so please give us your attention for a moment, even if you are a frequent traveller. By now... It's those kind of earworms that you absorb standing in lines for hours listening to the same thing repeatedly and i'm sure many here could recite the entire script from memory. I can tell you, even with Wonderland closed for over 20 years, I can still remember several attraction spiels. I'm grateful that much of the pre-recorded stuff - such as on Space Probe - was able to be captured so I could relive those memories too. Hopefully someone out there has a copy of the current pre-show video - maybe one day it finds the light of day for everyone who does remember it to listen to again fondly... I'll just leave you with this. https://youtu.be/Kzv6GZenRXU?si=Y-KGod-4ipYPssgg

It would be pretty poor form for a consultant \ build partner to publicly rubbish their client, so i'm not surprised it barely gets a mention. As your mum used to say - if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Yeah i'm not talking the majors (though they clearly have them also) - i'm talking the non-franchised parks too. These days there are devices that are not so easily fucked with. Perhaps a bubbler is a bit old school, and something like this would be more to your taste?

I find that really jarring in such an immersive land, but recycle culture has taken over and calling out the 10c containers as opposed to having it chucked in a generic yellow "recycle here" bin helps them sort the ones that are part of the program. I'd like to see them advertise that they're donating the proceeds to a charity or something though, rather than just looking like they want to make $6.50 off you for a bottle of coke and then ask you to give them your 10 cents back as well. It would however be preferable if the park developed their own, themed container collection points that fit in with each land, along with themed bins. I can't find the update, but i'm pretty sure this fencing was sitting back of house before the land opened. maybe there was something wrong with it and it's why it didn't get installed? This is very strange and it'd be nice to see them correct this as time goes on. it's hard to tell what's temporary, and whats permanent here with the land open and yet so many changes and additions still coming...

lol. Don't project your shit onto me. I've already said my piece and I can't really see many folk disagreeing with the group consensus at all. Sure you can! It'll give you something constructive to do with your time!

Seats exist throughout rivertown but they are themed crates and many folk probably don't realise that they're meant to be sat on. Rivertown did have some issues with shade, however - both queues are fully covered They've recently added themed 'parachute' screens over the eastern side of the queue for the cars to shelter guests on the edge of the building (western face covers the 'driveway' too so more shade for guests that side) It is absolutely criminal that this isn't a consideration for our parks in all new builds. I've visited a lot of overseas places recently and it's remarkable just how frequently you find publicly accessible water sources - bubblers within the queue, electric water coolers to fill water bottles, etc. I don't care how far away the nearest potable water is - parks need to run plumbing to all new areas, and factor free water supply devices into their queues and 'precincts' from here-on in. Wasn't it unexpectedly closed last week? Perhaps they're having issues and felt it was better to have one open than none? Ie: I don't think this is a cost saving measure for off-peak, i think its a mechanical issue they've been forced into.
