Its nowhere near 25 mins surfers to coomera anymore. The traffic is horrendous around work or school times. Sometimes it can take you 25 mins just to get from the highway to dreamworld now as the whole place is a mess.

If you read the fine print on them, some of the flavours contain stevia, so some will have lower calories (and sugar content) while others have 20-25g per bottle. Whas interesting for the real health nut is they contain high fructose corn syrup, linked to all sorts of health problems in the US, vs coca cola which uses cane sugar in australia.

Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017
Levithian replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
You probably don't need to replace all the track. Even if it hasn't been used for awhile, if its not obviously being drowned in water, once you get a coating of rust on the surface of metal it slows down the process. Might be able to get away with having it all inspected and reusing the same track. -
General consensus is fruit drinks pack in 3 or 4 servings of fruit (and all the sugar they contain) with a lot of the benefits like the fibre removed. Not only are they full of sugar but they are highly acidic and are worse for teeth decay than soft drink. If you want juice, better off just eating the fruit. Youll stop at one or two pieces when you feel full.

Nothing besides water is really any good for you. Juice is full of sugar, more so than a lot of soft drinks. Plain milk has more calories than coke due to the sugars and fats contained within, but when you amp it up to flavoured milk, just about the only thing that is worse is some iced teas. So where do you go from there?

Movie World development front of main street
Levithian replied to pushbutton's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Not to mention machinery tearing it up. You would expect it to look like the other side with tables and chairs. Certainly solves the lack of shaded areas to eat lunch in. -

If i was a pilot i think i might be tempted to try and fly through it. -

all this talk of lights has me wondering if they will need a blinking red one for the top of the lift hill. -
Yeah, that's my point. Because it is enclosed with hand rails, it's classed safe as a stair way, but because there is a risk of falling on the track side of the stairs on something like green lantern, anyone using them would need to be fitted with a harness. Has anyone seen what happens during an evacuation from the lift hill on green lantern? do they fit guests with something or do they just walk each one down, one at a time, with the staff member guiding them down the stairs? If they wanted to do track walks with DC rivals, they could probably use railings like arkham asylum, but it might mean it's harder to evacuate people off. I also wonder if the height brings with it added safety problems with things like wind. Quite a bit of difference between 30m and being 60m in the air. Especially being stuck out the front with pretty much nothing to provide cover.

Is the work you are talking about where the put footings at the front ? Id expect the bridge to lead to somewhere like between green lantern entry and justice league. They might still need an access road down the side, so maybe something is planned to be able to cross it? -
It would be cool if hints were to be drip fed by video until its completely revealed and you can see the whole advertisement in full. If its named after a villain, should build it up as a whole campaign and leave subtle hints whats coming all around different parts of the park. Make people seek them out.

Dreamworld reviewing its master plan.
Levithian replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
dont those new roads drive right through the middle of the new stadium they built for the commonwealth games? or is there an existing road there? -
They started investing in media in china didn't they? Change of focus perhaps?

The Parkz Update Airtime installed on Movie World's hypercoaster
Levithian replied to Parkz News's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Its over 60m. S&S advertise their space shot as a minimum 61m (up to 65m), so batwing might still have the height crown. -

It's all about perspective. Move 5m to the left and the shape is different. -

Why are you not making with the measurements?! -

Levithian replied to Richard's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Someone make a home made clinometer and go take some rough measurements. Can work out an approximate height pretty easy. -
It's amazing what massive budgets can buy/afford you. I was watching footage of some of the rides in shanghai disney; wow, next level theme work on pirates of the caribbean.

Degraded themeing on Wild West Falls
Levithian replied to pushbutton's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I was going to reply to posts, but I think i got to 7 quotes and I realised this is stupid, so I've enlisted the help of Robert De Niro. I think you can forget about the studios ever being a permanent fright night location. I was told they literally split the back of the park up with fencing to finally separate the studios. The park doesn't even have permanent access. Western themed futuristic robot city. No chance. Animatronics are extremely expensive and complicated. I wonder how much that cyborg in justice league cost; but to combine it with a number of them? plus control systems? plus outdoors? sunlight? and build it all in an existing ride? Don't bank on westworld just yet. It's produced by the network with the biggest kill ratio in recent history. HBO is notorious for spending HUGE on tv productions looking for the next sopranos. The list of canceled big budget epics reads like a who's who of excellent television drama. You'll have to wait for season 2 to see what they do with it. Especially since they have the script for the final ending of deadwood. Design drew from other westerns, like rio bravo, el dorado, blazing saddles, etc too, but id take it all to be pretty liberal, ie, just pinched ideas from everywhere, For example, the building names in the town where doomsday is was lifted from blazing saddles (but the town is nothing alike). Everything was named Johnson like in Rock Ridge. Plus you could hear parts of the soundtrack playing for example. -

They moved out of studios because they couldn't utilise them anymore. They aren't even suitable for rides, not much higher than your regular shed at home, one isn't even enclosed, its more like a big carport. The park fence is literally behind west, the area directly behind it is a storage lake used to feed the park, im not quite sure how much room you think there is in this space. You wanted space for a western area at wild west. That's not the same as finding space in another part of the park. Im surprised you didn't just disagree with them building doomsday if you want a western themed area. The park already had that, an area that probably took up 1/5th of the land space available, so what you wanted was more flat rides where doomsday iss. You wouldn't have even needed to change the town. West burgers is seasonal and is in use during holidays. -
Different system used on the broadbeach cars vs that at seaworld. Im not sure what else changes as far as track gauge, voltages, etc, but they use different collector systems for power, so you couldn't just put it on to the track at seaworld even if it physically fits on the rail.

We've been through this before. Just because you might have some parent company loosely affiliated with the rights to produce or distribute a movie, does NOT mean you have the rights to use it for marketing/sale and theme park use on your rides. They are two completely different things, often with different companies already having the rights. Aside from the above, Wild west is already at the back of the park, its not far to paradise country car park and you can see the gates and the back of wild west from there. So im not sure where you mean by at the back of the park, especially now the sheds were built for fright night next to west and the studio sheds at the back. -

Kinda what has been desperately needed though. Something to make people driving past on the highway go WOW! If they still build a hotel, along with top golf going in now too, can you imagine how much appeal the frontage is going to have? I hope they plan a new arch to the main entry too. Make the whole place feel new and fresh from the moment you drive down entertainment drive.
