  1. I could use my knowledge and background as a claims officer for an insurance company here but just go see my response in this other topic...
  2. Does it matter which one of these two gentleman is bigger? No because they both play their own parts and don't get caught up in what the other is doing since both are playing similar although slightly different parts of the same piece of music...
  3. It was... The structure behind the head was shorter and a different shape though...
  4. They are really pushing to increase their digital footprint... My wife went to Guest Services yesterday to commend Paul on his interactions with our (sometimes difficult) son at JDS... They thanked her and gave her a card with their facebook, instagram, etc details and asked her if she could post it online...
  5. With the Hypercoaster... Pushing down on the tubing that comes around and into the sides of the lap restraint gives you more leverage over the harness system... As someone who has been too large for almost every ride in the gold coast theme parks... You go in knowing there is the possibility that you may not fit... Is it embarrassing as hell when it happens? Yes... But if you can remember that it is for your own safety that you cannot ride and not an attack on you as a person it's not nearly as bad... In my case it was due to medications, surgery and 4 months of bed rest (lack of being able to exercise) that I went from 90kg up to 140kg... It took me 5 years to be able to once again fit into every ride at MW but I'll be damned if on every trip to the park I didn't check to see how close I was to being able to ride and celebrated that little bit when I could add a ride back into my trips... But I always requested to be placed towards the back of the ride in case I had to disembark due to harness not being able to close...
  6. How do you know there was an accident? Someone could have not been drinking enough water and collapsed due to dehydration... Big issue with people at the parkz...
  7. There have been a whole bunch of random street entertainers over the school holidays. The firemen were good for the fact they were spraying water and cool air on hot days. They were not the weirdest by far...
  8. Fright Night they stopped admitting people between 9 and 9:30 to ensure no rides were operating after 10pm as per the above information.
  9. I was more thinking about how it wont let water fly up and over the riders and instead hit it and then proceed to drip on them all the way to the offload... And then continue on the new riders at loading... That and the curved perspex narrowing the suns rays onto the people riding or the empty seats focusing it into a single line along the boat increasing the sun damage along the seats... But I'm sure these are all things they thought about before putting them in place...
  10. Similar rides, different year... 1. DC Rivals Reverse 2. DC Rivals 3. VR Arkham Asylum 4. Superman Escape 5. Arkham Asylum 6. Green Lantern 7. Jet Rescue 8. Storm 9... 10...
  11. DC Rivals was between 75 and 90 minute waits all day... Scooby Castle was full and using the outdoor switchbacks as was JL3D...
  12. Everything they are doing is a trial... I guess if they get enough positive feedback about it then they will continue it...
  13. That viewing area has been opened for the last couple of days. Much nicer area to sit and wait rather than cramming around the curb.
  14. With lunch time and a 12:15pm HWSD show... Yeah this has been all week... Most of the queues have been in SDSC and JL3D thanks to the air con
  15. The new chain setup irritates the hell out of me... Lightest touch and they seem to fall...
  16. None of the lights on the buildings or the fairy lights on the roof were on before 7pm the night we went... Bizarre...
  17. That's interesting... They did a countdown and lighting with Santa pressing the button the other night at 7pm...
  18. Arkham queue was no longer than 30 minutes for most of today, DC Rivals about 15, Superman and Green Lantern were walk on most of the day as was Doomsday (which usually is though). Scooby Doo was 15 - 20 mins. Definitely hit Arkham first and then head to DC Rivals, Green Lantern, Superman then head over to Doomsday. Superman and DC Rivals have been running 2 trains this week being in holidays and since the park seems rather quiet it makes for fast operations. DC Rivals has been running with a greeter, grouper, 2 load/unload and a super and they are grouping one lot against the fence while another is at the gates waiting to load onto the train so the whole process is really smooth. Have also seen on each attendance (3 this week) them letting a couple of guests through from the single rider queue.
  19. Was at the park on Saturday morning... Managed DC Rivals, Green Lantern, Superman, JL3D and Doomsday in 35 minutes... You just need to know what order to attack them in...
  20. I need to start going on the same days as you... Have never seen this happen... It has always only been used to fill the odd spot left... Even to the point they get 2 groups of 3 to fill 3 rows to fit a group of 2 into a row instead of using 2 single riders...
  21. Worked in Childcare for 10 years and my wife has as well... Not one centre we worked at (9 different centres between us) closed other than Public Holidays... Lecturer... You do know that some places also offer online and teleconference lecturing and although the lecturing stops for that one week they still have to do marking, preparation, re submissions...
