I love the earthquake section. I would say more than anything that occurs after the launch. The launch itself though can't be beaten in my opinion. Or how hard they push it down on you when they check the harness. And before anyone complains about the negativity towards the parkz from me in this comment... I understand that it is completely for safety and is a necessity for the ride to be sent... But how many of you have had your wrist dislocated because a staff member decided to push the harness in on you on superman before you were ready and without any warning?

joz, I agree completely with your comments on the audio. I don't care it isn't there and I don't see what difference it will make to the ride. I have merely in the past mentioned that it is still not there for those that are interested.

Below are the comments I have made in regards to the LW to Arkham retheme: Yes LW needed updating. Yes Arkham was a great choice. Yes they have done a wonderful job of the retheme. Yes the ride was a lot better than LW was in regards to guest enjoyment. I enjoy walking through the queue line and looking at the newly themed front of the building. I don't care that there is no audio as I do not see how that would improve the experience. These are all similar to comments I have made in that past in regards to this ride alone. Why is it that people focus on me presenting 2 negative facts (pain from the ride and a return of some of the issues it had as LW) and ignore the positive posts I make? Because it is more fun for people to disagree with me in an attempt to bignote themselves, which is something that runs rampant in these forums. Did have a whole lot more typed about this but yay internet crash. We will be heading to MW in a few weeks with a large group of family and friends which will include: young kids, young teens, 20 somethings, 40+ yo's. Will post their reviews of the day.

As with a lot of posts I present in these forums when comments or opinions of other people are involved no one likes to believe that the general public also make complaints about these things. My job is about listening to others and acting upon their feedback hence I hear so much of it as I am required to do so to be successful in my work. I have spent 13 years observing people and being objective about my observations without presenting my personal feelings and thoughts in what I observed. If someone crossed the road and entered a shop that is what they did. They did not cross the road to enter the shop. Same with people in front and behind me on a rollercoaster saying their harness was extremely tight on their legs at the end of the ride. I did not see them patting their legs and assume that the harness was tight. Do not get me wrong, after the retheme of Arkham I loved the ride, it was smooth and barely made a sound. I preferred it over Lethal Weapon. However, since the recent maintenance this is no longer the case. I can live with we will have to disagree, if we all agreed the world would be a boring place no? But... isn't a "we will have to disagree" statement. It is a "you are full of male cow excrement and are incorrect" statement.

I'm with you on the leg pain as well reanimated. I don't believe they think we are making it up as much as we refuse to conform to their opinions and continue to speak against people that have the little piece of orange writing under their usertag that is the problem. I don't think audio would make any difference to this ride whatsoever. It WAS better than it was. Sorry but I would take the head banging anyday as at least after a while your ears were fine again. I still have a headache that I have had to go to the doctors about 2 days after the ride. And why is it not up for debate? Because a community leader says it isn't? Where are these physics you speak of? Racing car drivers have a special piece of gear called the HANS device to prevent jolting and severe movement in the neck to prevent whiplash. While the old seats did not hold your head back they did prevent it from moving too far side to side meanwhile now your head can go pretty much anywhere it likes.

You can call it what you want... I went on without a headache, came off with, as did some people around me. You don't hit yourself on anything to cause whiplash do you? My head was being jolted around quite a lot...

Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster had no smoke in the coaster area. There was also only one laser (green) on and it looked like it was trying to bore a hole in the wall as it was pointing at one spot. No light on spider either.

Two seats out of action today. The ride was really noisy as well, talking back to the screeching sound that we knew with LW. Was aso extremely bumpy, people in the row in front and the person next to me were complaining of headaches at the braking section. They also were complaining about how tight the harness had become on their legs. Not sure what they did in the two days it was out for maintenance but was very reminiscent of LW with the noise and jerkiness.

Front section of the carpark was blocked off today.

Dammit I have today off too... Wife talked me into going grocery shopping before dropping her at work...

I heard a rumour from the Dippin Dots guy that they are moving the Hotsprings from WnW to that location.

OOOO an inverted standup coaster.... That would be something to see... Is it floorless as well?

NOOOOO!!!!! Not the "Stringray"!!! "There" kidding right???

Door on the left has the corridors visible from old queue area. Door straight ahead was new walls and cables hanging down.

Of course they could manually trigger it. Who controls the timers? People. I think it is more a case that if they do it for one person and others find out then it will become a common request so safer to just say no.

The double doors facing the old BATR2 queue area were wide open around 3:00pm. The thin section before the old simulator building was also open and a lot of wiring was hanging from the roof in that section.

Was able to get a bit of a look inside the building today... Some rather interesting supports along the walls of corridors. Nowhere near enough room to fit any 4D ride carriages.

Correct. The MW annual pass is hard plastic.

You are completely correct joz, but: Posted 28 September 2011 - 06:33 PM "I would LIKE to see something like the Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin..." "The wife and I were talking and with the Justice League Movie in the works, why would they not rip out the batcave and make the JLHQ and we have to help them save the world from some catastrophe by getting into special pods? This would completely revamp the BMTR2 area both inside and out, give a new attraction using the current setup with some modifications? Especially since we have a Batman, Superman and now Green Lantern ride and the new DC Universe store all in that area? Either way my money is on another superhero theme." As I was saying the wife and I have been on that tangent for quite a while (according to the date the above was posted), 8 months... MW released the first teaser image with the sillouettes in February, 5 months after my above post. I am not pointing out the obvious based on recent releases by MW but based on my thoughts when BATR2 closed down.

This is something the wife and I have been thinking and I think posted here before they released the teaser that it would even be a JL attraction. It just makes the most sense.

Agreeing with most of the points above. We get to the parkz when they open and the only one we are still at when it closes is SW. The only (recently operating) ride that I looked forward to going on was BT. Before that it was only the Skyway and train as they let you see more of the park.

They still have the nachos but the shell tastes like cardboard more these days.

Bored at work and remember the name Sally Corp being thrown around in the MW Spring Attraction topic as they specialise in dark rides and animatronics. Decided to hit their website and they do some pretty good looking dinosaurs. Sorry this got my brain going and thought it was interesting. Most likely nothing but food for thought. Continuing on the tangent though... If you were to need to replace a couple of dark rides, going through the same company you could hit them up for a discount... Would also save on shipping...

They couldn't make Ricks a different attraction as one of their main function rooms is hidden behind the restaurant...

They have been floating around for the last few weeks. Further up you will see I spoke to one of them and posted their comments.
