It's definitely still the same announcements used. Justice League and West automatically play the female announcement when the e-stop is pressed, Green Lantern doesn't do any automatic announcements, and I'm not sure about the others.

All the ride technicians are mechanical trades people, and electricians. The parks employ engineers but they typically aren't hands on with the rides, except when doing commissioning or more complex issues arise.

The two bottom letters were lit up earlier tonight. They look pretty bright and legible from a distance; the full word will definitely look good once it's all lit up.

Wet n Wild SurfRider taken off website

Perhaps more likely to be underground services. I can't imagine they'll want the queue to go through the smokers area- 406 replies

Yep, as far as I'm aware

All the ride uniforms have disappeared at movie world now too, all the ride ops are just wearing this new uniform. I think it looks very bland and having the blue on the old shirts made them much more recognisable.

I'm betting that we've all had our final rides on Doomsday.

New Kids Ride at Movie World - April 2023

You'll have to note that there being two staff members in the booth is due to training, which always inevitably leads to longer cycle times. -
The New Atlantis - Reviews & Reactions
mba2012 replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Was also my first visit to try and ride Leviathan but it was still closed when I left at 2. As I was leaving there was a big film crew setting up around the entrance to the ride. I'm certainly hoping that wasn't why it was shut, because I checked the maintenance schedule the night before and it had no indication the ride would be closed. Would be very disappointing if they closed a ride at short notice for a film crew, who presumably would have given them extensive notice. -
My understanding is that when the seatbelt is in the operator can't properly pull up and see if the harness is functioning correctly.

I know these kinds of applications often have delays before they appear online, would that likely be the case here? Superman is going down for maintenance at the end of the week, this would be the perfect time for it to be moved into a new spot at movie world just in time for the easter holidays.- 406 replies

European Coaster Club Australian Tour

While I agree that MW operations could do with a fair bit of improvement, I've also heard the ECC group described as not very understanding when it comes to loose items policies and the like. -
Theme Park Worldwide Announce Australian Tour
mba2012 replied to Noll_57's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I think that's the point Joz is trying to make. Also I'd hardly say Silver Star has a well themed station or queue line, it's just a flashy corporate showcase. But I do agree it's an incredible coaster (although rougher than I expected), it doesn't really need anymore themeing.- 329 replies

I'm pretty sure the trains only had a drivers cab at one end, the other end provided a larger space for prams and wheelchairs.

What is Christmas Eve crowds like for theme parks?
mba2012 replied to REGIE's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Scooby typically operates with around 14 cars, I'm not sure if that changes much for busier periods or not.
