  1. I’ve worked at DisneyWorld have you? Not shooting my mouth just commenting my take on their operations, do you not agree closing three major attractions at one time is a bad move? A theme parks goal should be to have its attractions in operation as much as possible, what good is a park full of closed rides.

    Yes. You can completely tear down, send out for inspection, paint and rebuild a train in 2 weeks. They are clearly saving money by staying shut an extra 2 weeks

    Would you be upset if I called you a muppet?

    They get a repaint every maintenance period do they? I don’t think so. How come overseas parks can consistently keep their attractions open but we can’t? Is the painting team different there or are those parks muppets too?

  3. Haha I think there’s a miscommunication. The track has not and will never change 😂 I’m suggesting they replace the rough areas for new “precision” designed pieces because it will give a better ride, extend the trains longevity and is a much cheaper option than building an entirely new coaster. Wheels do have a huge impact on the smoothness of a coaster, that’s why B&Ms are smoother in USA/Europe than they are in China, the track isn’t different it’s the wheels. 

  4. What I’m saying is those track transitions are rough (Always have been), then you add on general wear and tear of the trains and you have yourself a rough ride. By replacing these rough track designs with new smooth ones the ride will be much more pleasant, maybe even add some more force in a good way to the s-bend that was initially designed just to dodge buildings.

    If they are rough due to that, they were always rough. How much material do you think is in the track? Thickness wise i mean. 

     

    It’s not so much that the track is getting worse it’s the aging of the trains wheels and the wobble room. By today’s standards the ride is quite rough and I think smoothing it out will extend its lifetime and popularity because it will be more reridable.

    Maybe they are going to use both snake related names... call the track the steel taipan and the cars hiss-steria...

     

    then you can ride the Hiss-treria on the steel taipan.

     

    Or more likely an idea that doesn't suck :)

    You might be on to something there. The coaster is Steel Taipan, and the spinning car is the Hissteria upcharge. 

  7. The best thing would be if Dreamworld retracked the big turns and the s-bend’s. Those parts are getting very rough. Add some new themeing and the desperately needed second train and the ride could go another 10 years. Look at Python at Efteling. It’s too iconic to demolish so easily.
