Will we get fence toppers on the new walkway fence?

Slightly off topic - Is it just me who thinks "Reverse Flash" is a stupid name? I mean you don't see "Backwards Superman" running around. Why did they get so lazy naming this one.

Are {any niche subculture} being frowned upon?
By some people, yes, by some people, no.

Have you not read Parkz before?

Isn't that just the same as what was posted in @Richard's update the other day?

Sorry if this has already been discussed before in the feed. But has there been a confirmed opening date to this coaster? Heading to qld beginning of October, what are the chances of it being open by then?
It's always been spoken about as being ready for Fright Nights, so chances are, unless something goes wrong, Sept 30/Oct 1 it will open.

Not sure if any major company builds anything similar
Both Intamin & Vekoma make them. Vekoma's look better IMO.

Village Roadshow to sell Gold Coast theme park land
Village Roadshow has put on the market the freehold real estate for its Gold Coast theme park hub – home to Warner Bros Movie World and Wet'n'Wild – for a deal that could fetch $100 million or more.
The listed entertainment company is proposing a sale and leaseback transaction with the prospective buyer, on an initial 30-year term.
Proceeds from the sale initially will be used to reduce Village Roadshow's debt, allowing it to push ahead with its growth strategies, it said.
"We are committed to our Theme Parks business, with the DC Rivals HyperCoaster, the longest, highest and fastest rollercoaster in the southern hemisphere opening soon at Warner Bros Movie World, and Topgolf under construction," said Clark Kirby, chief executive of Village Roadshow's them parks division.
Broader strategy
The site will generate $6.2 million in rent from next year, with 3 per cent annual increases and lease options totalling 90 years.
The 154-hectare site is also home to Paradise Country, Australian Outback Spectacular, and Village Roadshow Studios and has development approval for a nine-storey hotel.
The move to sell off the Gold Coast site is part of a broader strategy to cut high debt levels announced in February.
As part of that strategy, the company is in talks to sell its 50 per cent stake in the Singapore cinema exhibition business, Golden Village.
Village Roadshow has appointed Colliers International to sell the Gold Coast site.
"There is nothing like this investment opportunity currently available in Australia," said Colliers' John Marasco.
"'We expect interest from institutions, trusts and high net worth individuals worldwide, and are expecting offers in the region of $100 million.
"Village Roadshow Theme Parks is Australia's leading theme park developer and owner. This is evident as their parks and attractions draw over five million local and overseas visitors annually."
The entertainment operator has said earnings from its theme parks arm – previously its biggest revenue driver – have been hit by the fallout from the tragic deaths at Dreamworld, owned by another operator, Ardent Leisure.
"Based on overseas experience this will of course dissipate, but Village Roadshow is implementing dynamic initiatives led by recently appointed Theme Parks chief executive officer Clark Kirby that will accelerate this correction," it said at its 2017 results this month.
Just for anyone behind the paywall.

Other than whatever shitstorm it was, why do you think I left that group chat you made ages ago? Haha.

I'd have to say my favourite video has been the making of Tatsu documentary. Found that really interesting.
Know of any other decent length "making of" theme park documentaries?

So they're going to sell it, then rent it back. So realistically nothing changes.

Good to note too that you can't tag a ride until you add it to the database and a mod approves it.

Google tells me it took us 1hr 26mins to get from Mooloolaba to Costco, then 53 minutes to get from there to the south side of Brisbane. Not sure if that's a decent travel time for Bruce but it didn't seem terrible. (This was on a Monday at 10am)

Do you have any particular size requirements or requests for images?
-
That's gonna be one big ass fountain!
-
Given there's no other ride closure planned at this moment (based off the website), what if we're all wrong about the studios being unavailable?

You could say the same thing about AOS.
Nah the horses didn't seem to like having golf balls hit towards them.

The horn in that thumbnail doesn't look straight, and despite not having OCD, for some reason that kinda bugs me.

Yeah but my point is he isn't called "backwards Superman" or "reverse Superman" he's got an actual name.
The only acceptable word to follow "reverse" should be "cowgirl" 😉
