Thanks for the feel good scoop, Team Parkz! It's often easy to forget that the Tigers and Wildlife belong to the same DW as the Rides - Are the Critters the only areas of the Park that are ran properly? Maybe they could teach the rest of DW a thing or two.

Such as @AlexB?

A Moron still can very much fall from one of the Logs -now probably even more so than ever. Picture some foolish twats sitting on alternate sides of the logs, holding the cage bars and rocking the boat side to side until..... How does DW prevent something like this from ever happening? Add more bars?? Completely enclose the Logs in Perspex? Ugh.. Wouldn't surprise me if they come up with a 'Safety noose' to hang around People's necks at the new Flying Theatre.

The perspex should make things nice n warm for Parents & Kiddies alike on a Hot Day... Bit like being locked in a Car? Let's see.. Adding Restraints that leads to slower Cycle times and adding extra casing to inadvertently place Rider's Heads on slow cook? Wowee DW. Do they not think anything through?

@pushbutton sorry to derail the topic but your Avatar makes for a particularly amusing Hat

Taww maybe a nice Coffee Club $25 smashed Avocado will fix your woes! Fuck me ppl, stop ya winging err

I received this one today.. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Likewise. WWF gets a lot of Mechanical attention every year so with so much down time I hope for significant Show enhancements as well as any safety improvements being subtle and unnoticeable for the most part.

Mostly because People are stupid when it comes to a risk of jumping out or sticking hands in the water and our Parks mitigating risk of injury etc. As the Boats almost come to a stop at this point, it's a part of the ride where the odd 1 in a million dickhead decides it's a good spot to jump out. Same goes for the bottom of lift 2. When a lot of boats are operating and spacing is out, you can get a bank up there. Many years ago, I had a guy with Autism pannick here, jumped out, wound up in the drink, clambered out to the island in the middle. Other than soaked from the waist down he was fine. That is after he finally turned up at the exit to the Gremlin ride!

A 5th maze would be nice! With WWF now out till the end of March, at this rate it'll be down until next Summer! I hope they have found some extra $$ to spend on the WWF show? With such a long down time now, think of all the money saved on Staffing and Power? The Geyser area needs a good clean up and re-paint, ghost town needs attention and of course the finale which has the potential for so much more. Now I think of it, wonder if the backwards-to-forwards transition area has recently come under the spotlight as a potential area of concern?

Ditto. Practically every time I drive by and see the ride going the Back seat is empty. Same when in Park. Backwards is occupied maybe 1-2 out of 5 runs tops. How about if MW offered a deal to Passholders for free backwards rides with any in-Park purchase? For example, buy a Soft Drink refill, retain the receipt and validate it for your free backwards ride? A great way to generate some extra Passhole spending, especially when most People visit with others, so the group would have to buy more than one thing for everyone to get their free ride. I always visit with my Partner and still haven't ridden backwards. It might not seem like a lot to many of you, by the time I drive to the Park I have already spent $30 on Fuel and will throw at least another $40 on food and drink for the day including afternoon Coffee and Cake at the Cafe in the Park. I can't justify another $20 at this stage sans spending that money on Groceries for dinner that night. Or 2 bottles of wine

A new word coined for regular use? Haha love it!!! Welcome back @AlexB

How embarrassing.

Thanks for clarifying @Brad2912, in that case will be happy to wait till end of the year before renewing😁

Just to be clear, are the Summer Passes also extended?

Wait, ALL PASSES? I had a Summer Pass which am pretty sure it expired on the 24/12?

No offence @Santa07 but your top 10 sucks balls. How on earth can you call yourself a Theme Park Enthusiast and put DW's ToT significantly in front of 3 multi-gazillion dollar Disney masterpieces? Sorry Chap but what you are doing is comparing Apple's with Donuts. This is precisely why I hate top 10's. Happy New Year btw 5. ToT (DW)6. Colorado Adventure (Phanta)7. Hyperspace Mountain (DLP)8. Rock n Roller Coaster (Walt Disney Studios)9. Crush's Coaster (Walt Disney Studios)10. Arkham Asylum (MW) Seriously WTF Parkz..

Don't know whether to laugh or cry but these new look logs are hurting my brain.

Best then everybody tells MW how much they love the free lockers, while they still are free then huh?

Indeed @GoGoBoy and while they are there wasting their own time, they ruin it for everyone else!

No idea why Passholders are wasting their time visiting this time of year? If it was up to me I would block them out entirely (peak dates only like 26th Dec -7th Jan), unless they are prepared to pay loads more for a super premium pass..

Taken from the MW maintenance page today: Wild West Falls Due to ongoing attraction improvements, Wild West Falls will remain closed until 1 February 2018.

Thanks Parkz! From an Op's persepective, the theoretical capacity has me concerned. No matter how prepared Riders are pre-boarding, the unload/load time would likely add an average 3 minutes between dispatches. 400 riders per hour assumes seemless, max operation but add those unexpected delays of technical or rider issues and the Capacity could drop to 320-360ph.. YIKES! On a 7 hour day that's 2240-2800. For a Ride that's suitable for almost everyone, how will they manage this? They could give a single ticket to each Day Tripper and initially just 1 ticket for Pass Holders that could be booked online? From the Brogent i-ride website, here's a picture of the screen from behind and some motion stats of the Gondolas.

.. or a dark ride that's like an old fashioned shooting gallery/gold rush themed?
