Arkham asylum replacement theming??
webslave replied to Cooper Liston's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Who gives a shit? You're not a party to either side of the NDA, so it's not up to you to enforce it. Kindly stfu and quit gate-keeping. If they want to talk and/or believe they can then that's on them and we are the beneficiaries. -
Dreamworld General Park Update - April 2021
webslave replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
"Due to Covid this", "Due to Covid that". I don't think the public is going to keep tolerating Covid being the excuse for providing a shit customer experience for too much longer. I especially think that Dreamworld telling guests about pushing back maintenance is not the smartest PR they could be doing. -
Yeah, nah, sorry - if there's one thing these parks have taught us it's that you can't just give them benefit of the doubt that they will make an effort where that's all it takes. You also can't with a straight face justify such terrible customer experience as "claw back some profits after Covid" as if that's something people should just accept without scrutiny.

TBF, Shockwave's daily capacity is probably only around 80 riders anyway...
-
You're very right. Surely though they'd have some recourse against the manufacturer for a ride to live such a short life span?
-
Yeah, not a great ride. Precinct well done though.

You're quite right in most respects here. The UX does indeed suck. The pricing on it is indeed inflexible. The sad fact is Village is hardly what any of us would call a 'digital-first' (or second, or third) organisation, and this is ably reflected in things like their web presence over the last two decades. These guys will always be chasing the train, but talking like they are driving it. Their mates up the road are no better either, and that's a large part of why it doesn't get any better.

Press Release Spin into Sea World on the all new Vortex
webslave replied to Parkz News's topic in Theme Park Discussion
That's a lot of build-up for seven inversions. -
It works fine in Chrome. I guess the sub-4% of people still stuck with Firefox are going to have to miss out.

If Dreamworld weren't negligent they wouldn't be paying anything...

Expensive given the current economy, but a perfect spoil if you're worried about the guys down the road opening a new coaster and soaking up business for a while.

LED is a bit of a godsend for theme parks. -

It wouldn't say very good things for the people doing the contracting at Village in that case... -

Which former attraction do you miss the most?
webslave replied to HyprCoastr19's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It's design by committee and career-men rather than passionate individuals. Most businesses do great early on when the guy with the money, wisdom and passion is running the show with a supporting cast - it's when the suits move in afterward that nothing much good happens. -

Disney fans petition for Disneyland in Australia
webslave replied to gavinfulikes's topic in Theme Park Discussion
That's what I'm getting at. Hell, even a Disney resort would be worth thinking about. -
Disney fans petition for Disneyland in Australia
webslave replied to gavinfulikes's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It does beg the question though, although Disneyland is just not viable on Australian shores - is there actually a fit for a Disney outpost in Australia that does fit the market? -
Sea World Monorail removed from website and park map
webslave replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Yeah, the two of you ought to keep some distancing from each other... And c'mon, all three of you are gunzels. The clipboard is implied. -
TBH I doubt I'm alone in thinking that setup is probably better than the re-imagining of SDSC.

Geez, thank Christ you were able to get it to us so quickly. Imagine not knowing...
