  1. We have yet to see the trains... Or station colour... Or fence pillar toppers...
  2. Lex Luthor warsuit from Injustice: Gods Among Us... And entrance to Lex Luthor Doom Drop... I mean sure the ride itself has no grey... But it is on the sides of the Superman tower...
  3. Pink and grey... Short of confirmation from VRTP or theme elements... I'm thinking it is going to take the trains arriving before we can confirm this now... Unless... Freeze Ace of Clubs... Move head side to side...
  4. Total of 2 hours... Tooling around highlighting all the supports... Then linking supports that look like they should be together... Then looking at current MACK installations and how the supports are placed on individual elements... After 3 rough setups I finally ended on something that I would be happy with and really gives all the supports meaning... Of course heavily based on Flash with elements from Blue Fire, Helix and Lost Gravity... Image speaks for itself but thought I would show my reasoning for it all... Admin can ignore this if TL:DR ? This would include a few elements we are yet to see in Australia... Since it is billed with "Southern Hemisphere" and not world... We can assume that the loop will not be the same size or larger than Flash... This would allow for it to be further from the first drop and there is not enough room or supports to place it straight after the first drop... And really what else would you put after the first drop on a hyper coaster other than a loop or a larger airtime hill? After the loop it is basically a corner into the Flash double crossover section which includes the turn around and a Zero G roll... From there I agree with most everyone else so far with a helix type spiral but believe (based on supports it would dive into the spiral underneath the loop and then raise up and through the loop... The next supports run adjacent to the road and the only way to get to them from the spiral is either a more than 90 degree sharp left turn or an inversion in the diving loop (Lost Gravity)... From there I just followed the remaining supports which snake along (chicanes)... The next element is a wish on my part (supports don't really match up) in a heartline roll followed by a pass under the lift hill to a bunny hop over the river? Trickle of water? However I also believe that the opposite order of these elements is more likely given the supports and that would mean a slower heartline roll while over the water... And then finally into the brake run... Could not account for the extra few supports near the station and therefore believe that will become the maintenance area and possible storage for a second train when not in use... This would place it between the brake run and load / unload station which would be ideal for adding the second train easily...
  5. I had actually though of that but given there is no pink in any of their costumes it seems a bit weird... I would hope the VRTP would be above the pink is a girls colour that young children seem to argue about in preschool...
  6. You could twist every ride to be an issue... Junior Driving School, Tijuana Taxis and Model T Fords encourage young children that it's fun to drive so they are more likely to joyride... RRRC encourages violence towards animals and the dynamite / explosives could encourage terror like activities... Similar for WWF... Cyclone, Storm and Superman glorify natural events and encourage dangerous activity by riding into an active event zone... Batwing Space SHOT... DOOMSDAY DESTROYER... And the whole surrounding villains area... Just as examples... There is no problem with the rides or the themes... There is a problem with people thinking that these things are obvious to everyone and we need to be completely PC about everything... Back to the actual topic... No trucks matching what we expect to see caught on any cameras before 1:30pm... Updates stopped at that time so unable to say since that time...
  7. @YLFATEEKS - Both Suicide Squad and Green Lantern averaged 4.6 / 10 or 26% on Rotten Tomatos...
  8. So are we thinking that all the containers will be the same colour? A lot of container trucks on the road this morning yet sadly none with the tarp on the top And do we know if they came in on one truck (B double) or as 2 separate? And yet...
  9. "On the purple side of pink, fuchsia is another name for magenta,"... Well technically they aren't completely wrong... Well as wrong as they normally are at least https://www.thoughtco.com/what-color-is-fuchsia-1077387
  10. When you're bored at work on lunch... http://queensland.snarl.com.au/cams/single/58
  11. What if they contacted MACK and got an extra 3 pieces of track painted up in pink to be delivered before the rest of the track so that it would drive us into a frenzy and news outlets wouldn't report on it for fear of looking like a bunch of idiots... again... Come to think of it they should be used to that by now when it comes to the parkz... Yes I doubt it but it is funny to imagine
  12. Standing at my desk at work as I can see where the Gateway motorway joins the M1 to see if there are more trucks heading past... Probably should be focusing on the calls more though...
  13. Interesting since the first pictures of the containers and offices arriving weren't until Feb 28... Near Maps needs to check their dates...
  14. Good old wiki... "Upon opening, the eastern side of The Giant Drop featured a momentary pause shortly after the release from the top. This was caused by a set of magnetic brakes, which have since been removed baby." Meanwhile using a stop watch and three seperate youtube videos I am getting between 0.75 and 0.86 seconds... So less than a second from when it hits the brakes and is at the slow steady lowering speed back into the load / unload area...
  15. Found this interesting... While searching for more info on the Sky Flyer from the Hi I'm new thread came across this... http://thecampbelltownshow2014.weebly.com/rides.html So... The Claw was at the Campbelltown Show in 2014???
  16. Please for the love of all things sacred... MW make an announcement already... This is the 4th time we have circled back to the themeing conversation...
  17. From a few years back... "In what turned out to be a rather disheartening social experiment, the Russian news site City Reporter only reported good news to its readers for an entire day. The site brought positive news stories to the front of its pages and found any and all silver linings in negative stories (“No disruption on the roads despite snow,” for example). The result was a smorgasbord of sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows—that absolutely no one wanted to read. The City Reporter lost two-thirds of its normal readership that day, according to a post by one of the editors on Facebook." And... "The researchers present their experiment as solid evidence of a so called "negativity bias", psychologists' term for our collective hunger to hear, and remember bad news. It isn't just schadenfreude, the theory goes, but that we've evolved to react quickly to potential threats. Bad news could be a signal that we need to change what we're doing to avoid danger. There's another interpretation that Trussler and Soroka put on their evidence: we pay attention to bad news, because on the whole, we think the world is rosier than it actually is. When it comes to our own lives, most of us believe we're better than average, and that, like the clichés, we expect things to be all right in the end. This pleasant view of the world makes bad news all the more surprising and salient. It is only against a light background that the dark spots are highlighted." So even though a lot of the GP point out the BS reporting on the parkz as of late... They thrive on it because it makes their lives feel better... So the media is purely using the GP's ingrained needs and desires against them to make money even when they consciously dislike things like this...
  18. Good thing little Mr got his licence back when they first came out... Still carries it in his Parkz lanyard along with his pass
  19. Well I guess that info needs updating in the database then
  20. TBH... I personally didn't like it at all... And I can't really put my finger on why... Was it because the song is from a WB movie? Was it because it sounded weird not being sung by Gene Wilder? Was it because the singing style didn't match the idea of the song? Was it because it felt like the ad was showing as much as possible so the visual felt busy while the song and lyrics are trying to convey relaxing and "dreaming"? Don't get me wrong I really wanted to like the ad... And from the comments above from everyone else I do feel bad and somewhat confused as to why I didn't like it... In saying that though... I don't need a TVC to sell the idea of going to DW... I just need the money to be able to afford to as the family have been wanting to go back for months now...
