  1. I went to Sea World yesterday. I was extremely disappointed in the park opening when things clearly aren't ready. For me, I don't mind. I have a pass and can come back whenever. I expected issues. But for the poor people who spent $100s of dollars, I would be extremely angry. I saw no signs explaining that these are new rides and to expect delays. Trident and Vortex were down (at least until I left around 2pm). Jet Rescue 1 train (no surprises) to take up the slack...

    What Village should be doing (same comments I said during school holiday madness at MW with rides closed) is organise the essentials for guests - signage, shade, water fountains, communication. It's the little things that help guests feel cared for.

    The timing is odd.  Instead of telling people why they should be coming now the news is filled with mentions of last year's events in exchange for telling people about what's coming next year.  I'm all for building hype but it's almost at the expense of this year.  Even with the missteps surrounding not being able tl have the Wipeout, Log Ride, Trolls meet'n greet and Kiddie Ferris wheel open, they still have ways to market themselves.  They could really market that WWW & DW are the same massive park now, they could be marketing that the DW pass is cheaper and bettee value than Village. 

     

    But instead it's 'Oh wait till you see what we're doing next year!'  'Tickets not on sale now!'

    While I do technically agree with this and there's ways they could have promoted the current offerings, us enthusiasts are constantly barking on about how the marketing depts need to announce things earlier on. This event was really highlighting the future of the park, and honestly, I think locals will respond sooner rather than later because it gives them some reassurance that the park will stick around for a few more years.

  3. Yep, I experienced the rattle too on the last 2 rows, but worse in the backwards row IMO (perhaps the way I ride in the seat?). I didn't really feel it day one, but whether or not I was too preoccupied with excitement.

    @Richard has mentioned a possible wheel alignment issue, which I hope it is. Everyone says how smooth Mack coasters are, and I assume the forward rows are smoother (I have only ridden in the front once, and never in the middle of the train).

    It's a beautiful coaster, but I definitely feel the vibration is noticeable and uncomfortable (not overly however).
