Other than whatever shitstorm it was, why do you think I left that group chat you made ages ago? Haha.

I'd have to say my favourite video has been the making of Tatsu documentary. Found that really interesting.
Know of any other decent length "making of" theme park documentaries?
Don't know what your definition of decent length is and I'm not sure if you have seen these but, I enjoy watching Dreams to Screams Specifically the ones of Fury 325 & Gatekeeper.

Would love to go on Taron one day at Phantasialand. Looks like a great family ride. I would love to see something like this in my home park (Adventure World). Never been on a launch coaster but I have been on few coasters unfortunately. This is a coaster that would definitely sit on my bucket list of coasters I would love to ride.

@ABYSS it's definatly a brick building so not toilets for construction workers. I think it could be either a storage area, power distribuation room or a fire hydrant building. When they open up I will have a look.
Sounds good I will also check it out when AW opens. Getting close now!!
-
Anyone know what the building is between the gates of Abyss? Is it just portable toilets for workers or something?

I'm honestly so jealous I don't live on the gold Coast.

Adventure World in Perth proved that you can get something big with a low budget with Abyss, a Gerstlauer Eurofighter. If Dreamworld were to do so, I think they would have to add lots of inversions work on adding more airtime and make sure that they utilize all the elements that they could to make it better than AW's.

God you guys can be fucking rude to new members. This forum has barely any activity because you're all bullies 😂😂
This I can agree with. We aren't all experts, someone's probably about to quote this and say don't sign up and join then, but you know what? We can join if we have interest, we all learn. You didn't know everything at one point either.

In my opinion, from the footage above, the second half of the coaster doesn't seem sluggish at all to me. I mean, I guess a tiny bit when the train crests the stengel dive, but other than that it seems to gain back it's speed and cruise along the track at a great pace.

I think something similar to how they did the roof over for the queue for DD at MW would be good and would fit well with the ascetic of the ride.
I think that would work well but I have s feeling it will be something more along the lines of garden roof top with small square gaps. This photo was the fastest and most convenient photo I could find from the internet. (Ignore the bottom half)

35 degrees. Feet being cooked like bacon. 100 sweaty guests in a shed. No need for a/c
Reminds me of every second I waited to go on the Kraken the day it opened.

@ABYSS I can promise you that there will be a shade or roof put above the queue line. They would get an insane amount of complaints if there was no shade. Same reason why air con is now in the Abyss queue line.
I was going to say it just wouldn't be a proper functional queue line area without it. Does look nice without it though as I like the rustic structure. I think this picture represents how nicely the ride itself comes together but not how it ties in with surrounding rides such as Abyss & Rampage. Does anyone else get bothered by the sign how around the edges it's like silver instead of the wooden theming? Do you think that's just not finished yet aswell or something?
-
AW posted this on their Instagram. "As the early morning fog clears...the giant has awakened". I wonder if the queue is going to have no shade/roof. Looks to me as if the whole ride is elevated above the ground level but probably just because the grass isn't completely flat in that area.

Anyone think they know if this is the material that will be used as a shade/roof for the queue? If not what do you think it is/is for?

Its looks smaller than the claw!?
It's just the angle probably, I'm sure it will look much larger in person when you're right next to it. Don't quote me but I believe the pendulum in 15 metres long. It is slightly taller and also has the new lap restraints, also with 40 seats instead of 32 on the Claw. As mentioned above by others if you have not read.

GP - general public or Grand Prix? That clock is near the lockers, the office and toilets. It is probably fairly recent.
Grand Pix, thought it was Grand Pix area because of the wall/roof looks like the Grand Pix race track area.

You mean like this one on the Go karts track? Photo credit to @iwerks (Perth theme parks)
I have never seen that clock, then again I didn't go at all last season (Plus I rarely go near GP). When was that clock added?
-
Someone posted this on AW's recent video on FB. Would look nice with additional touch ups to make it look professional. Would be nice to have a huge clock made out of this and put it in a central area of the park maybe on the rocks of the lagoon or something. Just thought I'd share it with you guys cause I thought it was interesting.

Yes, I understand these aren't the most fair nor even comparison photos, but for those wondering how much of a size difference there is between Loke and Goliath, here's a decent look. This is a follow up of my post the other day*

First three are Goliath at AW, last photograph is Loke at Liseberg. I obviously own none of these photographs. (Associated with AW are TT screenshots, Loke image was looked up in images and saved)

^How can you tell?
When I saw it on TT and I've watched the segment like 20 times, it just doesn't seem as tall. The pendulum seems shorter to me, I guess I shouldn't really be judging into I see it in person though.

Went passed AW today. The ride looks smaller than I imaged but it still looks like a great addition to AW. Excuse the IPhone quality. This was the only photo I got as I didn't have time to stop.
I'm almost 100% certain that it's definitely not as tall as Loke, unfortunately.

I feel a ride like abyss will be a bit of a knee crusher with lap bars, but yeah, I'd still like to experience it. Anyone know what dinosaur like skulls, thorns and drums have to do with Goliath?
I'm not sure, anyone know how many seats there are on the ride? I can't find a good picture to count.

I would love to experience Abyss with lap bars only one day.

I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to change your name on the forums / account name?
