Well yeah. The locals pay almost nothing for park entry compared to tourists, so its just another way to get more money from locals, and getting them into the park hoping they buy more F&B and merch.

Thats great and all, but how long until we get the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Yeah, I don't think I've seen the coaster operate off the tracks.

Footprint: 20mx4m Safety Envelope: 16mx35m So it would fit. Just. Might need to move some things around though. I doubt it would ever happen though. But if BGH Capital want to make money selling VRTP, having Doomsday as it is will not help in anyway.

That number of rooms is also required for business conferences.

If this truly is the case, they need a 'Gentle / Extreme' queue... but yeah this sign is poor.

Bold of them to assume Dooms Day will be open on the 4th of February

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they are the only doors that are (were?) outward swinging. All other doors have been sliding.

What Slick said, but to expand/elaborate, our winter is not really what other North nations call 'winter' and their largest holiday period, their summer is our winter.

Love the idea but hate the execution. The shade sail poles should be on the other side of the fence or from the grassed area reaching right over the path.

Nah, replica of Manta

Sure but it didn't officially open until 286 days (1/10/2017 - 14/07/2018) If you want to point out timelines, DC Rivals is a better comparison still being a hypercoaster and located at the exact same park. Groundwork started in Sept 2016 and Opened in Sept 2017, 1 year (365 days for those who are still in school) Apples for Apples, actual construction started in April 2017 and opened 22/9/17, 174 days.

Honestly, if they were keeping it and upgrading to a newer model, they likely would need to upgrade that stuff anyway right? Its likely gone, but potentially could be required for an upgrade? Just being stupidly optimistic/hopeful.

LSMs were detached long ago at WnW

Is it just the track installed or have the electrics/launches been done also?

While everything you said is true, there has been a lot of movement in the last few years, since the investment firm came in. Nothing amazing, just doing things you expect, but they are actually doing them all now (with exception of DD, but that ones very obviously an issue that they are aware of).

Time to think vertically. Parking can be put into a parking lot. Cooking can be done on level 2 of a building. Same with staff facilities. Main St is supposed to be multiple stories high, why not actually make it that and go up. I mean I know, cost ect but if my local car dealership can build a parking garage to store cars to be delivered or serviced that day, I'm sure Village could spend a little here and get back some space.

Why make big expensive change when you can do small cheaper (quicker?) maintenance.

I don't think retrofitting it for modern launches would have been overly difficult, I just think the park recognised the money better spent elsewhere on rides with better returns/throughput/new rides to bring new and old rather than reviving an old ride.

Nope, its worse than that. Its a digital egg.

Sorry, are you complaining they haven't abandoned a paid add-on?

I went to MW during the holidays and VQ was pretty much booked out after 11am

Ironically, I think this time there could be some truth to it. I can see where he is coming from

Just curious, @Dean Barnett, do you think about what you post? like ever?

Sure, but a quick search of similar finds Geelong also has the same offerings so I'm sure other regional areas or larger metro areas offers it also. The links practically have identical text so I would say they are a standard offering service. https://www.grlc.vic.gov.au/learn/saving-family-stories And for privacy the two services linked are self serve.
