The status of Theme Parks in Australia
zacsta_1997 replied to KingdaKa's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Think of a Wild Mouse inside a mountain with Mine Carts as the Coaster Cars. -
Heated pools keep the same or similar temperature even if there is a slight temperature drop. People would rather swim in a heated pool because the temperature is bearable, unlike unheated pools, where it takes ages to get use to the temperature. Wet'n'Wild would want their guests to have an enjoyable experience in the park. Rather than shooting down a slide into an unbearably cold pool, all to leave you rushing to the edge of the pool to dry off as quickly as possible. Winter in Sydney gets fairly cold. Even if Wet'n'Wild Sydney stays open all year round they would start loosing money due to the fact that guest wouldnt enjoy sliding down slides into a warm pool all to climb out and encounter a burst of freezing cold air as you walk to your next ride.

The pools are more than likely heated. It's not opened through winter because of the temperature difference. The Gold Coast has warm tropical weather all year round. While Sydney is warm during summer and fairly cold through winter.

Wet 'n' Wild GC - Junior Attraction
zacsta_1997 replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Wasn't Terror Canyon and Terror Canyon II originally where constrictor is. I remember riding it before it closed. If I remember correctly they had lighting effects in them. -
I'm sorry. But I really don't like how the screen is positioned. Maybe it's OCD or something but I'd rather see the screen in the centre of the boardwalk rather than on the side. And maybe a little bit lower to the ground. Other than that Jamberoo has done a good job at fixing up the park for the 2014-2015 season. Hopefully we see some more progress on the Kangaroo Island expansion next year!! I don't agree with the park being closed Monday to Fridays. But they need to save money somehow.

Luna Park Sydney - the future with Wet'n'Wild
zacsta_1997 replied to JulieLovis's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Who cares about the residents in the adjacent buildings. They bought those apartments. And anyway... They are powerless when it comes to LP rides. LP has more power. So they could add the worlds loudest coaster and put it right next to the buildings and LP would still get away with it. -
We need one!!!

Spring into Corrimal on Sunday too. Unfortunately I have to work Sunday . But I can see if my sister can grab a few photos when she goes.

Why Australia has such horrible thrill rides?
zacsta_1997 replied to jack.c's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Well I think Dreamworld has really picked up their game with refurbishing the Wipeout, replacing Reef Diver with Tail Spin and giving multiple rides a touch up. We may even see a proper ride / coaster, the way Dreamworld is going. Dreamworld has really taken a good turn.!!! -
$500 million China theme park in Australia, NSW
zacsta_1997 replied to mattcrombie's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It has 2 rides that I counted. At least there is a drop tower!! Other than that, I'd rather spend the day at Luna Park -
I'm going to PAX In Melbourne with a few friends too. We got 3 day passes. So excited for it

Ok. But could you grab a photo of it anyway. I'd love to see what it looks like. -
Luna Park Sydney - the future with Wet'n'Wild
zacsta_1997 replied to JulieLovis's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Could you get a photo of the old UFO spot if possible. From the Ferris wheel would be perfect. And if possible ask some of the workers if they know of any plan for a UFO replacement. Thanks -
^ oh ok. I didn't realise there was an elevator at the entrance.
-
I remember riding the elevator into the sovernier shop from the ride exit. This was before tot2. So things must have changed. The elevator was for exiting the ride, and a ramp was at the entrance.

Luna Park Sydney - the future with Wet'n'Wild

^^Here is a YouTube Video of The Cyclone when it was The Big Dipper at Luna Park Sydney. This is a fairly old video so there is a good chance most of you guys have seen it -
About time. I have a feeling it won't be as good as the others but it looks like something to give a look at.

Is Tower of Terror a roller coaster?
zacsta_1997 replied to Brad2912's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Yes it was. It held this record for a few months before 'superman escape from krypton' at six flags was built. SEFK matched the height and speed of TOT. But the thing I hate is the fact that when SEFK was constructed, americans labeled it the 'tallest and fastest in the world' when in fact TOT beat them by a few months with the exact same ride. It's kind of unfair if you think about it. -

Dreamworld: Tail Spin + Triple Vortex
zacsta_1997 replied to themeparklover's topic in Theme Park Discussion
There is a post about this already. "2014 In Dreamworld - Tail Spin construction, Wipeout refurbishment, Triple Vortex construction" It's a few posts down -
I haven't been to dreamworld for ages. But last time I went I rode TOT, before they reversed the car. Wow it was fun!! But I have noticed in a few POV videos and personal experiences, the launch has noticeably decreased in speed since the opening of TOT2. Is there a reason behind this? can TOT go back to its normal speed?
