Thing is, nobody here has suggested it would be a blockbuster knockout. I'm pretty sure Rappa or Joz or someone said very early on they'd seen something about it and for us it would be underwhelming. It wasn't meant to be a blockbuster - it was meant to fill a much bemoaned gap in the MW lineup for the 'middle of the road' market. MW needs more flats, more high capacity rides, with efficient load systems and enjoyable but not extreme experiences. DD delivers precisely that on all counts. -
Goliath - Adventure World’s new Intamin Gyro Swing

Yes a boomerang would probably be a better investment, but the Star Flyer has my vote... -
Goliath - Adventure World’s new Intamin Gyro Swing
DaptoFunlandGuy replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
TOTII is roughly 300 metres long, including overshoot. AW has roughly 350 metres wide, and there is about 380m of straight line space north to south that would probably fit, so its feasible... however take a look at the powerbanks for the LSMs along TOTII. they would run either the width, or most of the length of the park. it would slice the park in two, and leave some very ugly boxes right the way along. So, it's feasible, but for such a good looking park, i don't think they need to go to this sort of level to have maximum impact. That and, all they'll get is a big yawn from many on the east coast who have seen it all before. I'd like to think that @Mark Shaw is looking to bring something out that we haven't already got - like they did with Abyss. only time will tell. -
Hilarious and disgusting all at the same time!

@Ryande16 patience... when someone gets down there, and notices something new, they'll take pictures and post them. Nobody is sitting there at their computer going "Should I post these pics I took? Naw... nobody has asked for them yet". Things to remember: there tends to be more updates during school holidays as people have more time to spend at the parks. @Theme Park Girl doesn't work the same hours anymore, so updates from her will be less frequent. (I'm sure she'll still live there as much as possible!) During October, many people go mainly to attend fright nights, and most don't spend the whole day there. Arriving at 4pm or later, its harder to get shots of the area out front as traffic is fairly busy with day visitors leaving and night visitors coming. In the main, the big attraction on the forums right now is Fright Nights. Once its over focus will change back to the coaster There are only so many photos of footings, dirt, concrete pumpers and guys wearing hi-vis that you can post before it gets repetitive. Even if they'd put new footers out closer to AOS\WnW, the photos wouldn't look much different. An aerial photo would be worthy of an update - but sadly Nearmap doesn't update that regularly, and most people don't fly over the park. On that note - if anyone is loaded and decides to take a Sea World heli-tour on the big run out to movie world - take an aerial shot!!! #PatienceIsTheKey -

Many coasters have footings outside of the park boundary. Since it is a traffic thoroughfare though, I hope the base is protected from any accidents. -

See why we're giving you a hard time about this? On the one hand you say 'from mack' and then you reveal it was just comments on a video, not even posted BY mack, from random people... like I said at the start... grain of salt. If, when you posted the original 'rumor' - if you'd just said: I was checking out some videos posted by <name of outlet> and some of the people commenting are saying things like <blah>. I figure that we're likely to see <stats you think are likely> ...and people would probably have taken it the right way. -

Doomsday Destroyer - reviews and feedback
DaptoFunlandGuy replied to Theme Park Girl's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I'm not sure how to interpret that.... the Platinum Flash Pass did allow re-rides without disembarking, or at least it did in 2013. I can't seem to find that info on their website now, so perhaps they've recognised that as an unpopular component and removed it. -

Yet it's ok to have a rollercoaster themed to an Asylum? #IDon'tWantToLiveInThisWorldAnymore. -

Two sides to every story. I don't condone anyone making someone else's day at a park less than enjoyable, but for all we know, the father and son had monopolised the element for some time and these two people got sick of waiting - which would make their day less than enjoyable too. It's like queue jumping, or fastpass holders who use their pass to reride without getting off the train (i've seen that happen at SFMM). -

This brand new ride is going to have the longest lines in the park for sometime. Launching with a VR option that negatively impacts efficiency is not on. -

Yes. Try here Worth also pointing out that unlike last year, they aren't being secretive on whether it will come back: Worth mentioning that on that page, they offer a VIP upgrade option here which may be of interest to some people like @reanimated35 although i'd be surprised if he didn't already know about it. -

Super 8 Aqua Racer at Wet N Wild GC
DaptoFunlandGuy replied to Theme Park Girl's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Whilst the white paint could just be an undercoat, I feel the dark blue has always made the underside stairway a bit 'cavernous' and dirty. I'd like to see it stay white and fresh, which will make it more inviting, and 'fit in' with the rest of the park. Its right out front so better to make it pop!
