Maybe Dreamworld can make a few quick dollars by doing what they did with TOT2 and selling off some of the parts to a park with the same ride?
They'd probably make more money at SIMS

I mean, yeah, it's a piece of shit and it still works sometimes but we're just so used to it not operating anymore so holding off on announcing this wouldn't be the worst idea.

I don't know if I'm in favour of a big show building that extends to BRC, I'm just saying I'm not mad if they want to recycle the station building for a ride or something. The more I think about it, the less convinced I am it's a good idea, but still, buildings are expensive. So long as it gets used for something accessible to the public and not something like a train maintenance shed. Unless of course the public can access it.
I feel like it would require much more effort than DW want to put in. With the train line in the middle, the underpass and the ground levels being wildly different, it would cost a lot just in ground works alone. Then they also need better access to get trucks and equipment on that area to complete any of the work and that would disrupt the hell out of that end of the park.

Well, yeah - because its a launch and not a lift chain. If a lift-chain somehow allows a rollback you're gonna have a bad time.
That's the day we'll know they can't just slap a new coat of paint and name on the old Arrow

Will it though? With three goes at the launch track the computer has got three chances to recalculate the launch power - it will no doubt be able to measure the speed off the first launch, and add or remove power off the second depending on the speed, and again coming off the spike it should have a fair idea of the speed its going and how much more is needed to get over the first hill - I've no doubt its still able to rollback but I doubt its likely in the slightest.
Still a higher chance than Goldcoaster rolling back... That one just valleys
-
At least it's now more of a natural environment for them
-
I'm just excited that we'll have another ride with the potential of a rollback
-
So it's just a halfpipe?

It would be great to have the train actually cut through the centre of the park again instead of just running next to a giant tunnel that obscured any views and looked out of place

"Why did you choose MACK?"
Oh, well they are a great company! I'm not going to mention I have a good relationship with them and got offered this ride for a discount. -
Every rapids incident that has resulted in a serious injury or death has been mid-course rafts flipping or people jumping out. There's definitely only been the one rapids ride that rafts have ever flipped in the conveyor area.
-
I haven't seen it there in a long time when it's not in use. Either I always time it when it's in the maintenance sheds at the back of the park or the maintenance bay isn't used anymore for storage.

Imagine waking up to the sounds of screaming as riders zoom past your window...
NGL, I'd love to wake up to that

I too go excercising to a completely out of the way private carpark during a stay-at-home order!
Carpark exercise is the best exercise because the lockdown police wont think to look for people there

The difference is green lantern has multiple block sections and the ability to load to trains at once, giving it a better throughput of riders
They may have more blocks but it's irrelevant when it takes the ops 10 minutes to cycle a train and everyone is just banked on the brake run.

It's not a matter of needing more reward money. They will never find the criminal organisation responsible and even less chance of finding the actual people who lit the fire. At this point I feel it's much more important to move on with the giant corruption issue that allowed all of this to happen. Ensure any remaining people are brought to justice (if only Doug Knight hadn't already died) and that this kind of gross bullshit coverup can not occur again.

So no more tooth chipper?
Aww, but I liked hitting a brick wall at speed...

Soon we're going to start seeing more and more of the free floating rapids style rides going away in favour of a fully tracked system

What page are the last photos from? The watermark is hard to make out
Who needs a nice watermark when you can just plaster the photo with shit?

Not for my ride today, my ride was more rougher than Arkham and dc rivals today felt like the wheels weren’t round and as a local who has ridden it more then 40 times, it’s normally a very smooth ride. I’m there tomorrow will see if it any different.
Rougher than Arkham? That's a bold claim
-
Would be more interesting if they decided to operate the rides that are down for maintenance

Last time I spoke to DW, they were working on preserving their history and organising some kind of showcase to display things like the Rocky Hollow sign. I guess that ideas has gone the way of Hollywood House

We need to get the situation to be like the Flu situation. Sure, we have a bit of sickness every year but vaccinations and general hygiene make it not a massive threat to just go outside and be in groups of people.
