    The mills have their own navvy teams, who keep everything running during cutting season, then do heavy maintenance during the off season (bridges etc). Cross River Rail plus general QR maintenance is pretty much constant too, some massive works coming up around Christmas. So labour is stretched and also probably out of the parks budget with the current demands elsewhere.

    Good to see Greg et al have learnt from DC Rivals, where they were basically in denial of its existence until the world's biggest lapel mic came out.

    Train 1 - station Train 2 - maintenance bay Train 3 - on ground outside maintenance bay Remove train 2 via maintenance bay (would require extra set of whatever it goes onto to be removed). Then place train 3 back in its place. So briefly there is a single train on tracks. Wouldn't require an extra block.

    With a third train, you could have one off track in a maintenance shed, with the other two in operation. At night, store one in the station, one in the maintenance bay like they currently do. Swap the rebuilt one out for the highest mileage train every four months. That wouldn't require extra block sections etc. But, that won't happen, as we know. Operations are slow enough that it'll make little difference to throughput if one or two trains where on track.

    Send the park an email, they're currently seeking guest feedback and I'm sure they'd welcome this.

    And that's a low bar to begin with

    Random thought - I think most of us scoffed a little when we found out that the additional bracing into the car park on DC Rivals was necessary for Cyclone rating, to get approval, but here we are.

    Cancelled at 5pm, not returning.

    Meanwhile Green Day still hasn't been cancelled for tomorrow night (Officially)

    So the ride is themed to an ancient temple right? So, the now lost to time ancient society set up a temple and it was their place of worship/power. Having a big ass gem outside makes sense. Could be bragging of wealth, power or it could be an important religious symbol to that society. I don't think Jane and Murray are meant to be responsible for the gem.

    Ignoring the neighbours and their complaints

    Is it safety driven, or is it keeping the throughput lower to use the equipment less, reducing general maintenance and power costs? In my opinion, the White Christmas example above shows they can go faster, and it's not 'safety', that was purely about guest experience and reducing complaints about people missing out on rides due to the short time window of the event. And if they were so concerned about safety, they wouldn't have the background music on FOTWW so loud you can't hear the ride ops shouting instructions at you.

    Given the end date lines up with Supermans, and it was "unscheduled maintenance", perhaps is it something on Superman that requires access from the Batwing side? The Flash is in a similar boat. Hence why they were able to give a few days warning?

    Does the $100m include a $50m yacht called "Wizard of Oz" perhaps.

    Couldn't remember what was there before this ride, so went back to the start of the construction thread on it. Full of predictions of hypercoasters, removal of the western show building etc. What we got lasted ~8 years and was as far from those as possible 😂
