Why are disney parks so expensive to build?
Naazon replied to Park Fan's topic in Theme Park Discussion
There is a chance the Disney figure was the "cost of the park" not just how much was spent on completed rides / areas for opening. -
Something something big enough for your mum. Fill in the gaps, too lazy this morning for a burn. Yeah Black Hole is pretty compact and the final slide run is low profile and the buildings / shelters around the area a low enough for slides to run above. Not sure the rules around this but if needed I'm sure support pillars could go into the horse paddocks around the edges too.

Naazon replied to khadro's topic in Theme Park Discussion
If you're time poor there is a summary article on ABC.net.au https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-24/the-untold-stories-about-luna-parks-ghost-train-fire/13259246 -

Another article in preparation for the next episode. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-23/prosecutor-luna-park-ghost-train-fire-investigation-flawed/12243672 Edit: Next episode tonight "8:30pm" - not sure if ADST or AEST. -
Would that make sense? Isn't Batwing supposed to be a vehicle launching to space? If you put batman on top wouldn't that just be launching his rocket into him? That's if I got the theme right...

Another article on the ABC. Interesting read. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-16/sydney-luna-park-ghost-train-fire-accident-or-arson/13180028 -
They also posted about their construction blog on Facebook. I had no idea it existed. https://themeparks.com.au/blog/leviathan-construction?fbclid=IwAR0C7wiaC5Pw0ioqnqkyys1iTMSlh_Gz4eTHgIJ6wi8l-CTxwSDUxOapcOM

We need more station / queue fly throughs
-
Most bars (that I've seen or used) are a T or U or L shaped. I can't mentally picture how the extra hook on the J would increase safety. once its passed the "pinning" point on the waist I'm not sure what its doing unless its structural, like in a U bar.
-
Because I found it interesting? Sorry, I'll message you privately in the future to check if I'm allowed to point out something I find interesting.
-
Interesting the lap bars are just a hook rather than a full loop
-
and GL was still having issues all day. Not sure what the problems are but I feel it probably should go back into maintenance until it can be figured out. Its also a waste of staff as the 3 Ride Ops just stand out the front of it all day telling people sorry.

What's the future for Dreamworld after Steel Taipan?
Naazon replied to Slick's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Thats an interesting point and one I haven't thought of. Online you see internationals saying how they would love to come to AUS to ride DC Rivals, Steel Taipan is more or less a clone and there are a number of versions of it globally. The spinning seat is a great money grab, but only if you're already at the park, I doubt it would make many people want to pay thousands of dollars. -
Junior Driving School is also only listed for 6 days, so some changes to come to this list for sure. Doomsday is missing also, although I dunno if it needs more downtime in 2021.

Just a small update on this one. The land has been mowed for the first time in a very very long time and all the signage has been taken down from the fences. I'll be back up in the area around the 26th but probably not until after dark and maybe again on the 28th. I'll see what I can do. I can't remember if the watertank is still there or not either.

As I said earlier, my family loved it and just watching our son be amazed by the performers and the Aqua show is good enough for me. The food was pretty solid too. Everyone had a good meal.

You mean SX360 or Actventure
-
At least the Arkham courtyard is getting some action in. https://fb.watch/3V7CWOScwl/ Edit: I'm an old man. How do you insert videos off facebook...
-
And as I said previously, the "2 for" discounts will push sales too, but only useful if they are often selling single seats. I don't know the number of single seat sales but I'm sure thats a metric they should track (based on day, season and times, ideally)
-
I've never seen this before, but I've also never looked but SE's cable is super loose just hanging down under the launch track. Also under the covered section of the path to SE are a few pallets with what appears to be new cables for Batwing, just behind the fence. A lot of cables in that small section.

Long, wide, flat(ish) slide, sitting in full sun with minimal water means it collects a lot of UV. That plus the type / thickness / colours of the fiberglass im sure come into play. I also have a feeling, for once Wet n Wild did preventative rather than reactive and its benefitted greatly. Its throughput is massive, highly popular and the scoring actually working for once is a win.

I have none. I thought I saw it either in a video or in a discussion either here or Reddit. Just had a look and couldn't find the discussion either. Edit: I remember the discussion also focused around the magnets to keep the spinning in check ect. Edit 2: the discussion was accompanied with this video I also could be very wrong and remembering incorrectly.
