  1. Seat size on Hypercoaster

    Whilst scooby is tight, the harness can be shoved into lock position. With Rivals, even if the seatbelt clicks in, that doesn't mean it's at lock. I've seen larger guys get the seatbelt in, and have an op check with the op booth, who then encouraged them to give it another shove. On some occasions, they got a thumbs up, and on other occasions, they've had to unlock the harness and exit the guest. (I do love that each seat can be unlocked separately - it makes it so much easier and quicker). Superman has a line stitched into the seatbelt. the line must be fully clear of the buckle to be able to ride.

    Sooooo if I can't ride Superman, does that mean no Rivals for me?

    SDSC is probably the most restrictive in terms of size from what I’ve seen with people. If you make it on there you’ll be sweet on Rivals 

    That's strange, I'm also bigger and I can easily fit on SDSC but when I went to Superman back in April, I wasn't allowed on because it was like 3cm off some white line on the harness.

    We rode SDSC yesterday and whilst I enjoyed being able to see it in it's exposed state I did feel for the tourists in front of us that missed out on the classic SDSC experience. 

    Disco room was actually quite good. Lots of smoke and the laser really lit it up.

    I did notice the lighting in the queue seemed dimmer than normal.

     

    Definitely this. I went yesterday too and tbh I LOVED it so dark and gutted, but then again I haven't been up here in QLD in like 3 years lol. A lot of people were asking me and my friend why it looked different :')

    And may have rode it 10 times? There were times it was literally walk on so took it to my advantage tbh. 

    It didn't however stop working around 4pm-4:30pm though. Not sure if it got up and running again.

    I posted on their Facebook regarding when it'll be shut down (only because I'm flying up on the 28th from Newcastle and wanna ride Scooby whilst it's barren) and this is the reply I got:

    Hi Blake, the Scooby rollercoaster is not currently under schedule to close for maintenance. From time-to-time unfortunately occassionally we may experience

Our maintenance personnel work tirelessly to rectify any issue and have rides operational as soon as possible. It is advisable to always check the ride maintenance schedule available on our website.

    Shak used to be at SW where Seal Harbour now is... Was also the same area parts of Flipper where filmed back around 1998-2000.

    I used to watch that show. It was actually filmed in Brisbane, but the opening scene to the show made it seem like it was at Sea World and WWW. The building at WWW was were the frozen coke is now. They hosts used to be painted on it. The show really just had a partnership with the parks and would film some things there.

    Another show was Toasted TV. That used to be filmed at Sea World (this one was actually filmed at SW). It was usually filmed on the orange deck, where the nickelodeon characters are now. Then the show moved to Dreamworld.

    H2O (I think it was called) (some girl mermaid thing) - that filmed its underwater scenes at Sea World

    I know a couple of episodes of Talent Time were filmed at Dreamworld as well.

    And then there are the breakfast news shows which now and then film from the parks as well.

    Ah okay! Thanks, I don't know what made me think it was at Dreamworld. It's been a long time since the show aired.
