    I think a Vermatron is a robotic pest controller... 

    The Vomitron is something else all together.

    This has been long in the plans. That whole block was on the market not long ago.

    well thanks for the link!

  2. I went to the Cypress Avenue today, and the Funtime Vermatron was removed. A ride operator told me Vermatron is going to go to the Russia. Slingshot will be removed after Chrismas, but there is a new more larger slingshot is coming to Cavil Avenue, and the operator told me it would be higher than 100 meters. Whereas, operator told me the new slingshot will be built on a building.

    I think the attraction of the Raptor is the small track and lightweight cars, which makes it cheaper and feel more exposed.

     

    The T rex just seems like any other 2 across coaster from Mack/Intamin/Vekoma and doesn’t really seem to save much steel IMO.

     

    I reckon the Raptor is fine. The existing two installations hold 8 per train, the Jersey Devil holds 12, so that’s no different to an El Loco / Eurofighter / Infinity, and would be more than enough capacity for our parks.

    yeah, I think DW do not need the coaster with huge capacity, and RMC Raptor is enough. If there are many people, that just operate twp to three trains is ok.

    Of your list of potential rides, only an RMC Hybrid seems a remote future possibility if the market reacts strongly to SW’s Leviathan.

    The tower is staying put for GD.

    I believe Once the track and existing station are removed they will link ABC and Dreamworks with a new kids attraction and likely some further theming and amenities to make it one larger family and kids precinct. 

    Beyond the Mack triple launch due end of 2020, they are on the lookout for another thrill ride that I imagine would be for a 2022 release 

    That's a good idea to add the possible RMC, and actually I don't think RMC is expensive for both Maintainance and Building by comparing to the Giga Coasters

  5. I just heard that the TOT is going to be removed, and this is really sad. I stay at the Gold Coast for only a half years, and I did not ride TOT for so many times.

     

    Although TOT will be removed, what kinds of new rides do you think would replace it?

     

    I am not sure whether DW wants to add the new rides with the same height as TOT. If they really want to build another roller coaster with over 100 meters, I believe that the upgraded version of Turbo Track at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi would be a good choice.

     

    Another Roller Coasters, such as B&M Giga, Intamin Giga or RMC Hybrid Coaster are also excellent.
