It's helps that it's also substantially more substantial than storm.

I'd just be a bit careful what grade of room you get there. Their oldest rooms are absolutely rank and are frequently the cause of walkouts. The newest rooms are furthest from the action, the mid-range rooms are fine.

Neither, it's speculative BS.

Recent Dreamworld marketing / social media
webslave replied to GoGoBoy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I'm not surprised you're into it. Common misconception in the marketing community. Marketing exists to serve the business (in this case by driving attendance), not just numbers for the sake of the marketers. -

Wizard of Oz - Movie World Arkham Asylum Replacement

Yeah, but like, is that really the type of callback to history that Movie World is crying out for? -
New Dining Experience and more coming to Movie World in 2024

Then I'd say you honestly need to harden up. There's a whole wide world of actual scary out there. -
Hollywood Stunt Driver 2 - still going after 10 years
webslave replied to Naazon's topic in Theme Park Discussion
The only thing I can think of is that they are trying to represent "a day in the life" on set. And, I think it largely succeeds at that; it's boring, tedious, repetitive, and largely has you wishing nonspecific harm upon everyone involved by the end. -

Sea World Monorail removed from website and park map
webslave replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I have it in writing from the park that it's not. So there's that I guess. You'd be surprised. Here's that technically complex process happening at Darling Harbour on a public thoroughfare in 2013 at midnight. -
Hollywood Stunt Driver 2 - still going after 10 years
webslave replied to Naazon's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I think the issue is Showtime. They are a bunch of revheads, and as such everything they do seems to revolve around that. -
I almost hate myself for that.

@New display name C'mon buddy, the ops are like watching old people f**k. Cringeworthily slow, and you know by the time it's you on the loading platform you'll probably be 80 too.

No hate, just observation. Gut feel is they'd happily leave up an unlaminated A4 sheet for six months without batting an eyelid, so when they are willing to go the extra mile on a for-real sign then you know they are all-in on it taking while.

Calls for Light Rail extension to Movie World, Sea World
webslave replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Yeah, I did the light rail once out to the parks. I don't bother now - we just Uber it. -
Nice finds, but I can not understand why some people are dead-set determined to pipe unrelated music over the top of videos like the Garrod one. It adds absolutely nothing, and in-fact detracts from the historical value.

Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
webslave replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It did, and in fairness to the park it was considerably improved versus a few years ago. But it's still beset by problems such as plenty of non-functional targets, effects that don't work (eg; Supergirl wall), missing audio and missing lighting. It's almost like maintenance is an ongoing thing or something. -
Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
webslave replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I did add "if you can be bothered" to cater for the notion that it's a junior coaster in their kids area, although with a 110cm height restriction versus a 90cm height restriction, a 46km/h top speed versus a 2km/h top speed, and an 11m versus 0m height which one do you think you're going to find more kids on? Brutal. -

Sea World Monorail removed from website and park map
webslave replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I absolutely think there's scope for a transport ride in a park spread so linearly; I mean it was only a few years ago they had two. The park is a massive chore to navigate, to the point that it's probably guest-hostile. Artificial barriers to flow all over the place -

The park confirmed to me that the monorail is done, but they reserve the right to replace it in the distant future. -
Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
webslave replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
That's good I s'pose, but we'd given up by that stage. I do wonder though what happens to the staff assigned to SE for the day if the ride spends the day down. Can they not be reassigned to other attractions where they can meaningfully impact wait times? I could see the benefit on something like Tweety Cages that cycles very slowly because of the cycle of; stop ride -> go and unlock and pin exit gate -> walk back to one of the cages -> unlock cage, assist guests out of cage -> close cage -> move to next cage, repeat -> walk to exit gate, close gate and secure -> return to ops booth to retrieve height bar -> walk to entry gate, unlock and begin briefing riders -> admit riders -> close and secure entry gate -> return height bar to ops booth -> walk to first cage and assist guests -> walk to next cage, repeat -> return to first cage and secure -> walk to next cage, repeat -> return to ops both, brief riders -> start ride. I could see how having a second operator could quite feasibly double the cycles per hour.
