Viking's Revenge closure
DaptoFunlandGuy replied to Theme Park Girl's topic in Theme Park Discussion
The voiceover on the boat was hit and miss in later times. The revelation of the chick in the pre-show video being the alien continued to be revealed in ride just as described above right up until it closed - unless of course the projector wasn't working (which in later times was frequent) but the audio continued to play her voice. I am going to question the word 'interactive' being applied to bermuda. Sure it was an immersive storyline if you paid attention to it. You were recruited to go on an expedition, and the narration throughout the ride kept you involved, but was it INTERACTIVE? I say no. Interactive would be 'Donkey Live' or 'Stitch Encounter' or 'Turtle Talk'. Bermuda was just you along for the ride - being TOLD a story, not playing an active part in it. -
Super 8 Aqua Racer at Wet N Wild GC

Why? They can just extend the date like they have with Doomsday? -
my completely uneducated guess would be on the site of the old octopus. its about the only clear space i can think of, excepting the mouse (which I don't think is clear yet).

Lets Talk Wet And Wild Gold Coast

Dude, seriously... quit it. It's annoying when thats the only new post to read. And yes, I do realise that your replies were neither one-word or single phrase, but i'm sure you get the point. -
Yes that is true - East Coast USA and Japan. I don't think Tokyo Disney has Marvel for that reason.

I think it's like a tube. For my own opinion, i'm thinking some of the news outlets got a little bit of an arse kicking over the DW thing with all of the wild rumors they started. Obviously not publicly, but privately I reckon they got a little nudge from some people in industry, the police, or perhaps even their own management when the true information was revealed. -

Do I get to whine about being bullied and harassed because my joke got 3 downvotes now? -

Well, Wet N Wild is doomed to be closed down for good then, aren't they? -
DC Rivals HyperCoaster construction discussion
DaptoFunlandGuy replied to Richard's topic in Theme Park Discussion
all i see is an aerial image without specifics. I'm sure we all are of the understanding that the station will be somewhere within the triangle of space that is between the swamp, the studios and the JL building... naturally that means a final turn will of course need to be somewhere in that area. It's a shame there isn't anywhere high in that area where you can take a camera. If MW had an observation tower attraction it would be perfect! -

Wow. those pillars look to be almost double the spacing of the GL pillars! Looks to be about 4.8-5m apart. thats a big span. What looks like conduit on the top of the pillars suggests we'll see something on top. -

DaptoFunlandGuy replied to Richard's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I wonder if it is to have any sort of theme (like the GL lights on the pillars) that might give us a bit more of a hint... -

Lets Talk Wet And Wild Gold Coast
DaptoFunlandGuy replied to Prequel's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I had forgotten about them, hence why I didn't list them in my original post. You are correct... although again what I had meant to say was recent times - as both viper and skyway demonstrated. They are the same company, and i'm sure decisions about the waterpark are made with both divisions discussing. Like i said - it is semantics, i'm not pushing that point, but it is a point of difference to the rest of the park. What I meant by the train being different is that many aspects of the train couldn't just be demolished, because they were integrated into other structures (viper, seal stadium). I did say they could have taken out the track, but its a lot of effort for something that didn't really impede anyone. The station itself of course you are right about, but it was a nice photo spot for some time with the 'train' parked at the station. I think i've got a wedding photo here somewhere we took up on the platform... -

Sea Viper had been 'up again' 'down again' whilst they tried to get it operational. it's last uptime was february 2014, and it was 'closed for maintenance' from there until around July 2014 when Sea World announced they were closing it for good. (link). According to the August edition of the Parkz Update (link) Sea Viper was almost completely removed in less than a week. My point was that once a decision (and an announcement) is made, removal is quick. I guess it hasn't always been that way in the past, but I was turning my memory to more recent events. You are right about Bermuda. Didn't realise it had been that long - 2011 is a long time! As for the water park - its semantics, but it wasn't part of the park at the time of closure. it belongs to the resort. The train is a different kettle of fish - sure they could have removed all the tracking, but with Viper's station housing them, along with the seal stadium tunnel, it would have been impossible to completely remove all trace of it (although yes, they could have done a better job than they did). As each part of the park has received some attention, it is slowly disappearing, but it didn't really occupy any usable land (although it did cause havoc for pathways). Edit: oops. didn't see page two. Great Minds @Jamberoo Fan! -

Take Sea Viper as your lead here - Sea World can not afford to have old SBNO rides laying about. Once a decision (and an announcement) is made, removal of the ride is very quick: Bermuda Sea Viper SkyWay just as examples. -

Funny though that on the one hand they've announced an attraction to replace VR, but on the other hand they're building MW's new coaster and they still haven't said much more than worlds best theme park drawcard. -

Robb wouldn't be cruel, he'd just ban him and ragefit.

it would be nice if they updated JDS to reflect the rest of the park.
