Manly Surf n Slide reopened 2 days ago for their new season. There wasn’t that much notice into the announcement. Nor was there that much attention. They can only have a maximum of 50 people on board, they have put a few physical distancing marks, you can only book online, And that’s it! You can actually see how may tickets have been bought for your session, which I think is fantastic! You can choose either 1 hour or 2 hour tickets. But people enter every half a hour. There are also Family’s of 4 or 5 tickets available. And also Groups and Parties tickets. You can have a minimum of 10 in your group, and a max of 25. The opening hours are now: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday are 10 till 12:30, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday are 10 till 2. After the holidays, the park will only be open on weekends between 10 and 2. Tomorrow will be the busiest these holidays, with it being 3 quarters full between 12 and 2. It seems like that people are not even aware that Manly Surf n Slide has reopened. And Manly Cove Beach has been mostly empty for months! I really don’t think locals want to go to Manly now after stuff like Manly Aquarium has disappeared. I went and had a visit to Manly Surf n Slide today. And the only people who were there are (I think) are the owner’s family, me, and 1 or 2 other people. In total there were about 10 or less. It’s impossible to wear a mask of course, and physical distancing was not enforced. There was enough room when there was about 10 people. But if you’re going on a day where there’s 50 people, you will have problems. It also seems that the rules aren’t enforced as much as they used to. You used to be kindly shouted at you to leave the pool. But now you can stay in there for a little while in the quite rough currents in the pool. You’re also not supposed to fall out of the mat or lie down or be on your tummy. But I did see lot’s of people breaking that rule too, and almost every other rule. Correct me if I’m wrong, it seems also seems like they now have a cafe behind the entrance to the park, which I think is operated by the park. It was better then what it was about a month ago. Manly Cove Beach was deserted, Manly Surf n Slide was a construction site with just one man with his truck fixing the place, Manly Aquarium (and still is) a abandond building well preserved with a few vandals around, but there were few people walking too. Overall, eh it’s fine.

I haven't been on it. But maybe try having a look on YouTube for a video of the ride with the lights on. I know Theme Park Review has done one. So you can expect what the track is. I know this video isn't the newest, but I think the track route is still the same after the renovation. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Let me give an example from my experience. On a Breakdance, it looks like when you are watching a POV of a Breakdance that you are always looking straight. When you are on the ride, imagine it as that. And what also helps on your first time is to hold on as tightly as you can to your lap bar. You do spin around once every time you go around. You also get quite a moderate to strong lateral g force to the left. You also get some mild to moderate nausea. It is quite rare for most rides to make you throw up. And I haven't seen anybody throw up on a Breakdance yet. Something like that. So how nauseous do you feel? What type of g forces there are? Do you get any fears of what something feels like, aka on the Wild Mouse those sharp turns make you feel you will fall off even if you don't, and on Volare where on the single seats you feel like your gonna crash into the wall? An estimation on how long and how often they happen? It's okay if it's a negative experience or contradicts another persons experience.

Hi there everyone! I decided to make this topic, so that people can find out what rides they want to go on feel like. So they know what to prepare. So I'll start with: What is Sizzler and Hair Raiser feel like? If anybody is feeling unsure about a ride, come here and hopefully one of us here in Parkz can help you!

Luna Park has just released tickets for their 85th Anniversary online. On the website, there is an interactive timeline with some interesting photo's. There are also 2 new shows, which are: Remember That Time, Miles Of Smiles, and the Cake Cutting on October 4th only. You will also enter a draw when you buy a ticket. You can win a GoPro, Private Surfing Session, Whale Watching Experience, Free Tickets to Luna Park and other experiences in Sydney, and more! Commemorative pins and keyrings will be available at the merchandise store for a limited time. There shall be 2 sessions per day lasting 5 and a half hours. One from 10:30 am to 4:00 pm. And 5 pm to 10:30 pm. The tickets still act as an unlimited rides pass. Same COVIDSafe plan applies. Same temporary rides are in place. And there is still no new/meaningful information on the Moon Ranger and Tumble Bug. If you want more information or to book tickets, this is the website: https://justforfun.lunaparksydney.com/85th-birthday/#whatson

I just have a gut feeling that Roadshow may go bankrupt sometime soon. Or become severely diminished. As because only 23 films out of over 85 they did were not with Warner Brothers.

I think some of Blue Lagoon was being used for the Big Brother House. It used to be mentioned on the map around 5 years ago, but no longer mentioned.

This is gonna cause troubles to Roadshow Films. If the Theme Park License ends, this could possibly be the end of Roadshow within the next few months or years.

I have to be the 3rd side to this riot in the forums. Even though that yes, we should support both parks. They are technically both in competition, because they are both 2 motorway exits between them. And for the past 5 years or so, Dreamworld has become depressed and is in an ego state. And what we have to worry is right now, even though that their getting a new coaster next year. The reopening of Dreamworld is far worse then Movieworld. With only 1 roller coaster available, when they used to offer 6! And with numerous flat rides and whole lands either temporarily or permanently closed. Unless if there is big sucess with their new roller coaster and get back on their feet, which seems unlikely. Well then the one day holiday will end, Kenny and Belinda will be hitchhiking 142 km to Aussie World (if they can get an job there), Movieworld and Sea World will have an monopoly on the Gold Coast, And Dreamworld will just be like Wonderland, either an industrial park, or more suburban housing. So let’s stop the fussing and the hudeing for just 5 minutes before saying that I’m not an local?

You can see how much Dreamworld has shrunk in just the past 5 years!

The web page for the sale only brings up an error page. I would assume that it's been taken down because it's now sold. I'm really sorry if you wanted that rope bridge 😥!

It's the exact same situation at LPS. Costs 50 dollars to get in, book in advance, once the Annual/Seasonal Passes expire you can't renew them. Still gonna take 40 minutes to get on Typhoon though! This must of been an recent decision as it was not mentioned on their website until today. Manly Surf N Slide haven't updated their website since March, so there is no opening plan yet. Aquatopia announced last month that they will open on September 26th. I will be booking tickets for the next available date. And I shall review to you all what it was like.

Yeah, you’re right. Dad keeps Sky News, Fox News, and almost every news network on all day, and most of the night. I have to learn that every Jew is an Ancestor of King David, and that we don’t need 5 meter Crocodile’s! I also have to learn that even if OAN is wrong, their right. And that Racism is officially over in America. These are all true statements. And since I’ve been pulled out of School because of COVID-19, this is my new curriculum! Never actually have had Economics Class at School! And it doesn’t seem like it’s changing anytime soon. They just don’t provide it where I’m at. But hopefully we can all agree, that the golden age of the theme park industry in the Gold Coast, is over. It’s been finishing for the past few years, but now it’s truly over.

I am saying that it would be the same outcome as the Car Industry. Either on life support (which is more likely), or extinct.

Oh boy, first was Wonderland, then Dreamworld, and now Sea World. What’s next, Movie World? I don’t know! Something needs to be done soon to fix this. Or the theme park industry will go in the way of the car industry.

It would of been an amazing idea before Covid to start cruise to Oceania! But I’m not quite sure about an private island before this started. Unless if I was saying that the Wild Cat would return to Luna Park, and that Luna Park would take over Lavender Bay and there would be areas for adults, kids, and elderly only. All in 10 years! Yeah, I did that. That’s why I’m on Parkz! Anyways, before I went to Age Land. Now that COVID has struck, the Cruise Industry is almost dead, and when it gets resurrected, it won’t become the Prophet. It’ll most likely be holding it’s last breath and be like what it used to be in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. It may come back, but it’ll be an long time until we hear the words “EXTRA, EXTRA! DISNEY CRUISE LINES GONE DOWN UNDER!”. They will say it either that it’s coming to Oceania, or broke.

You make an good point. But I still think it’ll take until at least the mid to late 2020’s for construction to start. Because first you need to get attention to an development company to build some apartments. And for an bigger project, you need to get the state government’s attention. And if you want to do something like an World Expo, you need to get attention from the World Expo Committee (whoever they are called), and get nominated. I might be able to get some attention in the State Government as I do know some people there, but it’s still very tricky. And then you need all of the planning approvals which take an long time to approve.

I haven’t been on any former rides. Not even the original Tango Train! Because 9 year old me thought I would of puked, and I may of... But if I was around, I would of definitely had gone on River Caves. And also on Topsey Turvey, Pirate Ship, Chairswing (80s), Noah’s Ark, Original Tumble Bug (NO SPINNING!), Goofy House, Davey Jones Locker, U Drive, Palace Dodgems, and the boat equivalent of Palace Dodgems (I don’t know the name, all of Luna Park’s Carousels, that looping ferris wheel where you go upside down (don’t know the name) that kids ride in the 80’s (don’t know the name), and also the little electric coaster in the 80’s (don’t know the name at Luna Park. I would of also had a go of pretty much all the rides at Hanna Barbara Land, almost all rides in Medievil Fair, almost all of The Beach, also Zodiac, Snowy River Rampage, Beastie, Antique Autos, Magilla Gorilla’s Flotillas, and Tasmanian Devil. I did not add any rides from outside Sydney’s Wonderland or Luna Park. Because I won’t know an clue about it! And those rides from those parks that weren’t mentioned I would cover the park 9ft deep in vomit.

We just can’t have it costing billions of dollars this time round. And even if it’s not an Disney project. Something should be done about White Bay. It’s currently an flat concrete parking lot that’s barely used. It would be an fantastic opportunity for some sort of development to take place. Maybe an World Expo? Besides, nothing is gonna happen for an little while because of COVID-19. So if we are getting anything, it won’t be until at least the mid to late 2020’s to start construction.

It almost happened. In the 1990's, everything had all been planned, the state and federal governments had funding for it. And it fell at the last hurdle when Michael said "No, I want to go to China". And that was it. If you want to find out more, ReviewTyme made an great interesting video about Disneyland Down Under.

After finding out about this rediscoverd coaster. I recreated the coaster on Planet Coaster and is now available on the Steam Workshop. I also made an video which is inspired by the POV of the 1995 Big Dipper. If you want to see the video, this is the link: There is also an link to the workshop item in the pinned comment. I am sorry if it looks and sounds a bit of rough editing. I have only just started doing Da Vinci Resolve. And I might recreate it one day when I get better at it.

Oh, I did not know that she was still an minor as they never mentioned it in the ABC News report. I thought that you meant that an grown woman is having an temper tantrum about money. I do apologize, it was just an misunderstanding.

You need to respect her decision to not talk about it, and not go and tell her that she's an baby that wants money! What in the world is wrong with you?! I have an Disability and Mental Heath problems. And I personally decide to speak out about it. Even though I think it's not the best way to deal with this situation, and I think speaking out is there best way to your family, or doctors to start. I completely understand why she wants to do it. To get away from this horrible tragedy and put it in the past. But if I decide otherwise, you are going to call me an baby that wants money? I find it quite offensive and mean spirited what you have just said.

Is there any evidence that it's true? Like an website, YouTube video, etc. And I can have a look to see if there are any discrepancies?

There is literally an user called Gunzel. And he is the worst of the bunch! He knocks off my nerves even when talking about Physical Distancing, thinking that I want everyone to bunker down for 3 years when I said that you need to enforce Physical Distancing anywhere to prevent a Second Wave. And now that Second Wave has come by because of that! Great Job, s3_gunzel... 😤
