  1. Increasing the cost will artificially create a ticket cap as people just won't go.
  2. It's actually likely because they are off the shelf TVs that they break so often. Household goods aren't supposed to run like that. Look up online the differences between a house hold TV vs Commercial TV / Display board. TLDW; Higher quality, designed for always on operation, cooling, simple/barebones OS
  3. No one observed one, and as far as I'm aware, most (all?) Mack rides aren't observed completing them either.
  4. If you didn't speak to Maintenance who provided that? Ride Ops? Secondly, does this mean the new stairs are installed and ect?
  5. How many NI Loops have Mack had to complete a pull through on? I lost count after 1. specifically, this time. Additionally, its all well and good Mack providing instructions, the crew on the ground need to be the ones who complete it, and they may not have been able to follow the steps/advice provided by Mack. There are 3 parties involved in this.
  6. Makes sense then. Thanks for researching more than I could be bothered.
  7. Wouldn't the LSMs operate as brakes also since they are...magnets.. But yeah replacing the track to fit the fins makes sense.
  8. Some simple math on that (more variations 100% at play but lets roll with it) TTD - 193km/h in 3 seconds - 1.82g TTD - 193km/h in 3.8 seconds (seen this reported) - 1.437g TTD - 193km/h in 4 seconds (seen this reported) - 1.365g Xcellerator - 132km/h in 2.3 seconds (37% slower top speed, 26% quicker time) - 1.623g MaxxForce - 125km/h in 2 seconds (42% slower top speed, 33% quicker time) - 1.768g Superman - 100km/h in 2 seconds (63% slower top speed, 33% quicker time) - 1.414g For additional reference to your Air Launch comment: Do-dodopa is 0-180km/h in 1.6 seconds - 3.2g (since 2017) Do-dodopa is 0-172km/h in 1.8 seconds - 2.7g (pre-2017)
  9. Funny, from my research online, TTD and Xcelerator offer the same launch G-Force Additionally, this claims airpowered launch has the highest G-Force out of all launch coasters, so I wonder if a little subjective reality is at play here? Potentially seating arrangements and forced perspective guiding your opinion. Only hydraulic launch I've been on is superman but I have been on Do-dodonpa and yeah its bloody forceful.
  10. Honestly, my parenting style is assess the situation and determine risk. If my kid has a fall, well shit thats on me, and he usually gets an ice cream (or strawberries/mango cause he thinks they are better??). I do this regardless if its playground equipment, a tree or whatever, its my job as the parent to make sure my kid is safe. Dreamworlds (and any amusement park or company) job is to make sure my kid is safe in situations that I can't control (like operating a ride) or situations that come with an assumption of safety (like walking on a flat obvious path). The world shouldn't be rubber mats and rounded edges. Take responsibility and create boundaries. Peer pressure is not an acceptable excuse.
  11. https://disneycruise.disney.go.com/cruises-destinations/magic-at-sea/?fbclid=IwAR2TKeTP8PXLLFN1aDbMWXTApWXBsTuR5da4GdRgR_Btdk-lK-27C1khCYM
  12. To me it reads like they are keeping the structure and changing elements of the ride. Potentially track extension and or ride systems upgrade.
  13. How long do Flats normally last? DD is 6 years now. Edit: Also how many Twin Hammers are there globally? Intamins site only lists 2, MW and one in Malaysia.
  14. Sure, but we already have the Twin Hammer now. If they put the gyro in instead of the Twin Hammer it makes sense, but not to replace the Twin Hammer.
  15. Why has no one quoted this part yet from the article? Lillian Rangiah (and staff) must have a low thrill level tolerance.
  16. They didn't have to get a license for it so no need for a press release
  17. Not even open yet and I'd probably rate it above the new boomerangs coming to MW
  18. I think Bertie Beetle is a loss leader product now. Bring people in and they buy all this other crap at the stall.
  19. In that case I hope Ardent continues and publishes a Press Release every time they get a license. Would love to hear about renewing their liquor license.
  20. So apart from having a shiny MAP badge, what does this even mean? And does VRTP/Aussie World have similar? Are these a requirement for operation? This press release give very little info.
