Just asking a question here, about Tower of Terror II. Do you think the tunnel ruined the ride?. Like, when i used to ride TOT, the whole thrill was shooting out of the station and blaring past half of DW before going up the tower. The tunnel was definitely put in for noise concerns since it goes past the motocoaster l but I can't help but think that huge ugly white long tube kind of ruined the magic of the ride a great deal. Going backwards is great, but you can't see anything fly past you

I would say the follow IMO are the list for great coast in Australia
- Abyss
- Superman
- Scooby
- Jet rescue
- Storm
- Tunnel of Terror (Just because it was a world record ride for height and Speed)
I'm pretty sure Tower of Terror doesn't live up to its record breaking speed and height anymore. Probably more 120-130 instead of the advertised 160kph

To be honest, the only great and truly thrilling coaster we have in Australia is Superman Escape and to a degree Arkham Asylum. Abyss looks cool to even though I haven't been on it. There is definitely room for improvement. And I don't know how to explain this, but even though we have few rides compared to the rest of the globe, there is just something about the atmosphere of the rides here in Australia that make them special, even though we have a thinner budget. But i feel that if we were given the tools and the money nessecary to build something big, Movie World has the potential to pull off something amazing

Mad Max: Fury Coaster???
-
Im betting all my cards that this "new ride" is going to be a woodie
-
I hope everyone's okay, will all the sea life that live there be in any danger and need to be protected?
-
ha, when i saw the picture of the the new article on the home page, for a second there i thought they were dismantling green lantern for the new ride. Turned out not to be true XD
-
For those who haven't see it -
Hopefully it will be a B&M
-
Well if what they're saying is true, that this ride will be one of the worlds best theme park drawcards, its probably going to be something we probably have never seen before or something that is really unique. Im expecting a dark ride or simulator. Or maybe even a hybrid of the two like spider-man or harry potter.
To be honest i hope its one of those two. Australia is sorely missing a simulator like ride ever since the took out batman adventure and another thing that we desperately need is a top class story driven dark ride. We have Justice League, which is good but.... still
-
So yeah, Ive heard that the Cyclone at dreamworld is being upgraded with new trains to a hot wheels theme. What do you think?
-
Someone purge this nutcase from the site already

Since when has Sea World tried to kill animals, it's quite the opposite. Have you ever heard of the word [REHABILITATION]?!!!
-
Yeah they do. Their rides are something special
-
You see most rides at, I'll say six flags are extremely thrilling that lack detailed theming while Disney is the opposites. Even though thrill rides are not Disney's priority, it would be nice if they turned up the intensity every now and then focused on rides aimed for people of an older age because Disney rides have so much potential and sometimes their family friendly nature can hold it back
Disney himself once said that he makes movies for all ages, not just for kids, so he doesn't hold back

There is a new drop tower at Luna Park that had been causing issues with neighbours about noise problems from screaming which has caused several petitions to have the ride torn down. Now I've been on the ride and it's really fun. It's actually in some ways scarier than The Giant Drop even though it's a fraction of its height, the drop just feels sharper and more sudden. But anyway it is apparently Luna Park Sydney's first ride in over a decade but it was apparently built without permission or agreement by its surrounding community. However I feel that there is a very simple solution to this problem, Scream Sheilds. The Maliboomer at DCA had the same thing to block scream noise by nearby residents.
So anyway what do the rest of you think about this situation

Space Mountain: Supernova
1000-1600m75 km/hHeight: 30-40 mRide time 3 minutesInversions: 4Zero G RollDive loopCorkscrew(Overbanked Turn)Inline Twist"Ride head over heels on a light speed adventure through an exploding star"Okay, so try to follow this......So the ride lasts about 3 minutes. The first min is just all that lift hill pre build up (you probably know what I mean)The first half of the ride is basically space mountain with curves and small drops, but at higher speed, but about halfway through, the train flies into a supernova section with strobe, colour and sound effects. Which the train suddenly goes down a 10-15 m drop and back up about 3/4 into a zero g roll immediately followed by a dive loop to ground level which is then followed by a left corkscrew into a sharp curve in the same direction into an airtime hill which goes over the pit of the 10m drop causing a headchopper effect in the first place.... BrutalAfter an overbanked turn the ride than makes a right hand curve around the edge of about a quarter of the mountain, which is then suddenly followed by a fast but smooth turn to the left into a final left inline twist in the exit tunnel outside of the perimeter of the mountain and then finally a brake run where the picture is takenSo what do you think....? I'm not sure if even building a ride like that is even possible but I'm pretty sure it can be done with a little imagination, (and money) it hasn't stopped Disney beforeits just an idea -
I really think the only way DW could get the ride reopened is close the entire Gold Rush area to be closed for a few months so the rapids aren't operating. Rip out the old track. And then contact a newer company like Mack or Intamin to replace the track with the same layout. See if the old cars work and if they don't, purchase new vehicles. And see if it works. If that still doesn't work, dreamworlds are going to have no choice but demolish the entire mountain and find a suitable replacement because you can't just leave something like that to rot for an entire decade!

I rode it three days ago, pretty much the only things that are different is that the wild mouse lasers are slightly different with more purple and blue colours instead of red and green
-
Maybe the mine ran out of gold, that's why it's been closed so long, and the long dead ghost of Jack Darke (from the buzzsaw backstory) has been fiddling with the controls.
that is actually pretty creative
-
Lets hope the tracks aren't slowly dissolving from erosion
-
when i say its "pretty good" what i really mean is that it's competent
-
Just asking a question, what was the approximate speed and length of the ride?
-
Dreamworld is a pretty good example of an Australian themed park. It has a beach section, outback section with Australian wildlife with a recently added aboriginal show. It also has a gold rush themed area and a nice gum tree riverside area which is now shared with a wiggles themed section for young children. Very Aussie
