  1. You hear that VRTP... If Tom says it's not too soon to discuss a new park then it's fine to announce the new coaster...
  2. I have mentioned it before... It was even in the news article from Parkz... Before this ride is cemented as a non-hypercoaster, know this: RCDB did in fact report that Lewa Adventure's Flash coaster – Mack Rides' only other hypercoaster to date – would also be 196.8ft tall in 2014 before revising this figure to 200.2ft tall with a 190.3ft drop height in 2015. RCDB's information may be an estimate, incorrectly converted or possibly a figure such as drop height rather than total height. Likely it is incorrect... They obviously have been before... Perhaps they don't want to put it in hyper status on their website until it is revealed by Mack or the park as they then need to downgrade it... Much better to under estimate than over estimate and build hype for something that won't be... While I would love to see a below ground first drop i would also have thought they would have been working on that at the same time as working on the footers...
  3. Guy across the road from me does a lot of work on older cars and has one of the PASS cars in his personal collection... Had it sitting in his driveway yesterday... Also owns a hearse he brings out during October and a Monkeemobile... Will have to get a photo one day...
  4. Some banks (like mine) do charge for EFTPOS transactions but not if I select Credit or use Pay Wave... Meanwhile the parkz charge if you use Credit or Pay Wave... So then it becomes best for me to get cash out at an atm before I head to the parkz so I don't get hit with any charges at all...
  5. I think we need some of these... Honestly though, in response to your post @POP... Yeah with a young kid I would definitely be worried if something like that happened... You would think though that staff would have stopped the ride so you stopped at the lift hill as a precaution... If one thing failed (like the release of so many boats already) and no safety system kicked in at the next available point (the start of the lift hill) you would be hesitant to believe that the next safety precaution would kick in properly... Especially if you had no detailed knowledge of how the ride system works...
  6. All the characters are popular yes... Superman gets absolutely swamped when he is out and about... They already do 1 pay for photo meet and greets for him and one with the whole Justice League as well as him coming out every hour or so for photos... Can't say I remember them having one character that has appeared that many times during the day and still get swamped every time...
  7. Well he is a very popular character at the moment so would think they are going to capitalise on that?
  8. Again... It is, however, a serious matter which can be investigated by the ACCC. The legislation that applies, according to the ACCC, is that items may not be available for the price at which they are advertised, thus contravening the consumer protection provisions of the Trade Practices Act 1974. Selling something not at the advertised price... Contravenes the Trade Practices Act 1974... Click th link I posted earlier and it says... Nope... can't do it...
  9. http://www.justweb.com.au/law-articles/rounding-up.html Tells you all you need to know... Short answer... It is, however, a serious matter which can be investigated by the ACCC. The legislation that applies, according to the ACCC, is that items may not be available for the price at which they are advertised, thus contravening the consumer protection provisions of the Trade Practices Act 1974. Consumers have a right to lodge complaints against retailers if they feel they have not been dealt with fairly. If the ACCC find the practice of unnecessary rounding up in a particular business is endemic, the business may well find themselves in some hot water, and having to answer to the ACCC.
  10. But Flash was originally posted as that on rcdb... Spotted by gavin on CF. RCDB have updated their listing for a mysterious new Mack opening in China to include the following stats: Height: 196.8 ft Speed: 74.6 mph Given that the current tallest and fastest Mack is Europa-Park's Blue Fire (124.7ft and 62.1 mph), this is a pretty big step up for Mack. And it's effectively a hyper coaster, 3.2ft off (the drop may be 200ft+). Is this Mack's attempt to do something like EGF...? https://rcdb.com/6764.htm
  11. Looks like the centre is almost between the H and R which makes sense weight wise... MERRYCH RISTMAS... 7 letters each side...
  12. This is what I see this game as good for... Then again with being hooked on Overwatch and Steep coming out in a few weeks as well as finding renewed interest in Factorio adding another game I will get completely into is very unlikely... Will probably add one decent ride with a good theme a week if I'm lucky but not getting too involved in it until the full launch in case things get altered
  13. About a foot or two to the left judging by the beams the lights are hanging from...
  14. Well only took 10 mins to dl so I guess I can spend a little time this evening... And we now all know how this will end
  15. Dammit just got home... Looks like 20 mins dl time for me but starting early in morning... Trying to decide exactly how much sleep I really need...
  16. This... We pay for a locker most days we go for this reason... We don't pay to get in, spend $8 on drink refill for the day, spend very little or nothing on food due to allergies/intolerance's so I don't see the issue with paying $10 for an all day locker... The only issue is they need to have them in more areas of the park...
  17. A floating pontoon type of platform would fix that issue...
  18. Funny how a lot of us say the poor quality of HWSD, HWSD2, etc... Part of me deep down still does compare these to what they had in PASS no matter how hard I try not to... But I think it had the mix of action, cars, footwork and comedy perfect... HWSD was good for a while but with nothing really on offer other than cars driving around, no footwork, no comedy it got boring quickly... They did try and bring it back with the "Rodney" type character helping out on set but it seemed more like they just dropped him into the story line to try and inject some comedic relief and it didn't really work... Now with HWSD2 we have about 10 mins total of drifting... Feels more like an extended TVC for Honda and Thrifty if I am totally honest... I would not miss a show back in the day but even now Mr 4yo (who loved HWSD) says he doesn't want to go see the show when we ask... And this is a kid who spends most of his time playing at home and Preschool playing with Hot Wheels and Monster Trucks...
  19. See... "so it's basically confirmed at this point that this is the coaster their building, it's also such a reputable source " I saw the cheeky grin... I got it... Sadly some people here just can't take a joke... I thought it was funny
  20. Police have today completed their analysis of the scene at Dreamworld following the deaths of four people on a ride at the Coomera theme park last month. The site has now been handed back to Dreamworld. http://mypolice.qld.gov.au/blog/2016/11/07/update-dreamworld-investigation/
  21. Given Skyway is gone and the cinema has not been very popular for a while... Hmm...
  22. So... We have intensity Dogems still down until 21st Nov, JL3D until 14th, GL until 21st, Doomsday until 19th and Villains Unleashed until 19th... And SDSC will be down 14th... Looks like giving MW a miss this month
  23. http://finance.nine.com.au/2016/11/02/08/51/arden-leisure-boss-threatened-over-dreamworld-deaths Ms Thomas has been threatened on social media and holds fears for her family’s safety after photos of her Sydney apartment and son’s school were published in the media. And I bet the media couldn't care less as it would stop a great story being published...
  24. Always called them boardies, DT's or bikinis... Guess I'm on the wrong side of the compass if I'm supposed to be saying swimmers...
