I realised it’s been basically since eureka mountain that we have seen dreamworld build a fully custom 1 of 1 fullcircuit roller coaster.
Motocoaster isn't what you'd call a clone.

but what’s better: 3D ride signs or 2D printed ride signs?
This is like asking which is better, a car (3D sign) or walking (2D printed) to get from Brisbane to the Gold Coast on a hot summer day.

"Village Roadshow alleges that Warner Bros. moved the release date of the film to 2021 from 2022"
This from a company known to delay movies in cinemas locally then cry poor over piracy. It's okay when Village do it but when WB does it for a movie that was kinda average at best it's suddenly an issue.

Well if it quacks like a duck.. no it looks like a strap but it is not consistently elsewhere . Appears temporary and should have been removed prior to opening .
Are you talking about the pad attached to the structure? There are multiple of them on the ride in areas the train comes close to the support structure. Temporary? No. Should it be removed? No.

No idea why trident 🔱 wasn't open. I understand Fridays opening delayed due to wind but what was today's excuse. They were cycling it often but no riders.
Cycling with no riders of a new ride typically means one thing. Not ready for operations with people.

And finally, I know its been a while since a big major ride like this opened, but this is pretty normal anywhere in the world, new rides often have issues and as an enthusiast you should know that the price you pay for wanting to be ‘first’ is the thing might break down.
1000% agree with this. Was at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for opening day of Joker, ride was up and down all day with it going down in the evening and not re-opening to a queue full of people (they did re-open Superman as a goodwill gesture). What is happening with Levithan can happen with any ride anywhere in the world and does happen. Don't like the idea of it happening then maybe wait a month or so before rushing to the park.

Someone could probably think of a way to automate that.
They could probably have it automated with no staff member to control things but feel this is something an insurance company wouldn't see in as much of a positive light.

So it is a individual cost just for the coaster?
For backwards seating, yes.

TNT looks amazing in those photos and video. Looking forward to seeing photos of how it looks opening day.

Are casual viewers going to misinterpret that "We don't strike, we rise above the rest" as some sort of commentary on union strikes?
Given what is going on in Sydney relating to trains at the moment this would be an easy mistake.
The trains look good. Will leave it to in person to judge if they are the "WORLDS most stunning".

something sleek and modern
It looks sleek and modern until you see the giant rake on either side.

correct me if i’m wrong but im 90% sure it was during ride testing and the sparks set off a fire. But at the same time i wasn’t even alive when it happened, so i could be wrong.
Fire was at around 6pm after the park had closed for the day. The roof inside is still "charcoal black" to this day.

simply to keep the queue moving. Otherwise, the queue will be end up getting too long.
Single rider queue moving too slow? Join the main queue. The SRQ doesn't entitle you to a faster moving or shorter queue than the main queue. Both queues too long? Don't ride or come back a day when it is quieter.

here we have a businessman who seems to want to woo the mouse. He must have done his homework and decided that it has a good shot at being tenable, otherwise why bother?
Just because someone is a businessman doesn't automatically mean they do their homework and make good decisions, Fatty McFuckhead (Clive Palmer) is a great example of this.

I mean in 2017 Mystic Timbers beat out DC Rivals for best new coaster.
Have you been on Mystic Timbers though?

There are two important stats when it comes to TTD, height and speed. Don't see the tech and how long it takes to reach the speed being a major factor. Does it hit 420 feet and go 120 mph and more reliable? If the answer is yes to all three that is all the GP will care about.

Here I was thinking it was a turnstile up for auction.

Regardless the train didn't get stuck by its own doing
What makes you so sure? Wind levels seem fine so there's clearly more to it than just too much wind.

I am surprised that the Bush Beast is doing as well as it is given it isn't the best when it comes to wooden coasters. LPS Big Dipper I'd imagine to be more exciting than Bush Beast.

Thunderbolt, but that was supposedly crap.
The loops were good then it was a snooze fest to the brakes.

You're essentially comparing Dollywood to Six Flags to be fair.

As much as I like Tower I would have to say Corkscrew with the Arrow trains, Sea Viper and those horrible trains can do like they did to the ride and die in a scrapyard.
