    So this has just been announced for Six Flags in Saudi Arabia. I am tending to agree with the comments that i'll believe it when I see it especially looking at the video.

    From the article:

    The Falcon’s Flight could hit dizzying speeds of up to 250km/h.

    The ride is just one of the record-breaking attractions that will feature at the new Six Flags Qiddiya in Saudi Arabia.

    A video mock-up shows a four-carriage ride, each carrying four passengers, that’s designed to look like a robotic falcon.

    The ride features several gravity-defying loops as well as winding tracks through the canyons.

    Launch-powered drops will hit speeds up to 250km/h according to the footage.

    Personally, I think it's the dumbest coaster render i've ever seen. It looks like something a kid would make in Roller Coaster Tycoon. However, I do believe it's just indicative and won't actually look anything like in the render.

    Well if it has a spike I don’t think it is. I think blue fire is just a comparison since they also said it’s similar to SDD and CHS.

    It is a clone. Take a look at the renders which the park have released. As @Skeeta said, it's a clone, simply with a triple launch system similar to the likes of Star Trek/Hunger games. They probably meant that it is the same type of launch system featured on rides like SDD.

    What lightning issues did House of Kain have last year? 

    Possibly referring to the fact that in many rooms the lights were flashing so much that you really couldn't see any of the detail which they put into the maze. Was very hard to see what they had done.

    I'm not a horror guy at all so could be well off but I doubt its Zombieland 2.

    Zombieland is a zombie based comedy, not a horror and in my opinion wouldn't fit the bill. Either way I personally won't attend but hopefully the changes this year are improvements.

    Didn't they have a Zombieland scare zone about 5 or 6 years ago?

    During an evac of Green Lantern a few days ago this yellow device was used. Can someone tell me what it does ? Just curious

    And also, when did they remove the roller doors from Big Red Car at DW?

    Roller doors have been missing from DW for a number of months now. Not sure why though

    There’s a mega thread you can check out that tracks all the post-TRR changes that were made. 

    I think push is referring to the fact that the geysers have been completely empty holes with exposed piping for the last few months, regardless of the fact that the ride has gone in and out of maintenance. Much of the audio is out of time, and many effects in the old town portion of the ride aren't working.

    It certainly does look like Annabelle. If you look closely, you'll see baby dolls in one of the boxes - a prop which was heavily featured in 'Annabelle: Creation'. I believe the old Grandfather Clock is also featured in that same movie.

    Paradise Country’s Animal Nursery Is Going Wild These School Holidays

    190620-1-Paradise_Countrys.jpg

    Paradise Country will welcome two adorable tiger cubs to the park these school holidays to the newly designed Global Conservation Centre for a limited time only.

    They're adorable, but wouldn't the environment for them be.. not sufficient? Correct me if i'm wrong but Paradise Country is basically a glorified farm - is that really fit for tigers?

    Thanks for the update! 

    So what rides are actually operating at the moment? Seems like a good time to go if you wanna see Tiger Cubs, that's about it!

    Just The Claw, Pandemonium and Puss in Boots. Everything else is open.

    Also, was at DreamWorld last weekend, and at around 10:30 or so, they were doing water dummy testing on Escape from Madagascar, as well as pulling the train slowly throughout the layout with two ropes. Is this a normal occurrence?

    Curious. It seems like they're holding it a bit later than usual this year.

    The escape room could prove interesting, depending on how difficult they make it. Though somehow I feel it might be more tailored for the younger crowds. But I suppose we shall see.

    By chance, would it be possible to grab a link to those ticket pages?

    June 29 - July 13 is the school holiday times for QLD schools, so it works perfectly.

    TPSN has posted the VTP is making a major announcement on Saturday. I’m not sure where this info is from.. so take it with a grain and a tonne of salt until Saturday I guess 

    Bikash announced that there would be an announcement on the 25th in PCL.
