  1. I don't know if you are taller than me, but I am 188cm and when I ride it, my head always hits either side of the restraints, my knees always hit the edges. I couple of times I have ended up with bruises. Thats just my experience.
  2. I've heard people say and some mates have said. It was something to do with the things that were on either side of your head.
  3. It may not be the most comfortable ride, but I find Cyclone even worse. AA must be more comfortable than Lethal Weapon was (I never got a chance to ride it before the change)
  4. Isn't it just the Green Lantern theme music. I don't know I've only heard it once. It could also be the music that plays in the background of the oath.
  5. I agree with that list, except I think that Arkham Asylum has better theming than Green Lantern.
  6. I haven't been to a theme park outside of Australia, so I can only compare the rides to each other, unlike other people who have been to America and Europe. With the knowledge I have I think Arkham has great theming. Just my opinion.
  7. I would say that next to Superman Escape being my favourite coaster is Arkham Asylum. It provides plenty of different forces, has great theming is a great ride experience.
  8. I would say that the jet streams at wet n wild provide air time. Every time I go on the middle slide I always feel like I'm coming off th slide. Also storm coaster provides great airtime just before the final splash down.
  9. I believe that for a ride to be good it must feature a number of things: - A story line and theming. If it doesn't have these then it is just like a carnival ride. The ride has got to have a sense of purpose and take riders on a journey. - A unique experience. This doesn't mean that it has to be super fast or break world records, it just needs to be unique. An example of this is a log ride. It's got to have water and a drop. But to make it a good ride its got to take the rider on a journey and feature something unexpected (Eg. Wild West Falls, you go backwards). Examples of good rides on the gold coast are Superman Escape, Arkham Asylum, Wild West Falls, Scooby-Doo spooky coaster, storm coaster.
  10. I realised that as i was writing. i just decided to not get rid of that part.
  11. They could just do it in the current cinema they have. It used to have a good 4D show (planet SOS) and then they gave up on it. They could upgrade. I suppose a 360 cinema wouldn't fit in there and it would have a low capacity. I don't think they would put this on that land though.
  12. I've watched the show and these are my thoughts: Good: - They involve the audience - The cars and bikes do great stunts - The bikes don't just do the same tricks, they use different ramps and do different tricks - Doug character provides a bit of humour to the show Bad: - Theming isn't great. Especially for Movie World. - Show is unclear of its location - The explosion at the end seems to have no point. It just happens and then Doug walks out on fire. - There isn't much of a story line. Plenty of great stunts, but thats it. Yes they are filming a movie trailer, but thats it. - Because of the plot for the new show it doesn't make use of the whole set. Such as the bridge the car used to go over. Overall the show isn't as good as HSD. Even though the planning of the show has been going for a few years now, it needs a lot of work. Even though they made some effort with the ramps they still look of of place. The Italian/American theme doesn't work well (for obvious reasons). They should have closed the show down for a couple of weeks to rep are everything correctly. As I said before the explosion at the end has been a key feature in the shows, but in this one it seems pointless. Something needs to crash into the building or something needs to happen at the top of it to cause it. Police Academy Show was 5 Star Hollywood Stunt Driver was 4 Star Hollywood Stunt Driver 2 is 3 Star (Mainly because of the great stunts)
  13. I think a creatures of the deep attraction would be good. Like the one they had/have at under water world. I would say the building would be big enough as it is has 2 levels and probably enough room.
  14. They are just upgrading some components as they were getting quite old. Probably a repaint as well. Dreamworld haven't said exactly what they are doing. We will just have to wait until it reopens.
  15. I was thinking that the entrance would be from where Dinosaur Islands entrance was and next to sea viper. Then the building (or what ever it was going to be) would be on the sand area.
  16. When a mate and I went to Movie World one time we just split the cost of an all day locker. We only had a small bag each, which didn't weigh much, and a phone and wallet. It is just easier and that way we dont have to worry about loosing them or taking them on rides. I would recommend that you get a locker if you are going to Movie World all day because the park isn't huge and it doesn't take long to get to your locker. I would also recommend that you use the lockers in Main Street (Near the restaurant).
  17. Does anyone have any pictures of the current progress of Dinosaur Island's removal and WILDs sand?
  18. I remember that Jet Rescue used to have storage boxes. When at the gates about to get on the ride at the far left (where the blue wall is) there used to be storage boxes that could be opened from both sides. But they got rid of them. Superman never has, but they could have something on the back wall that slides across into the exit room.
  19. Yeah all the parks have lockers. I think there about $9 for the day. Some rides there isn't any storage compartments for your items so there are lockers next to the ride which cost $2 an hour.
  20. I don't mind zoo and sea world Gold Coast, but I'm not a fan of circus'. Especially lions and monkeys
  21. And other animals at Dreamworld, paradise country, australian outback spectacular, Australia zoo. I hardly see people complain about these. What's the difference?
