It's sad that the 1st coaster on the list isn't opening till 2022 now

Here's the most recent example

Concrete raisers are cheaper than custom supports? -

It was confirmed that they managed to pick up a parks lead time with Mack as they normally have long lead times on projects. The coaster was not already manufactured or designed. They picked the design. The footings being like that would 100% be to save money.
This is exactly what I am saying! Yet people keep thinking it was fabbed and sitting in an Asian park before being shipped here.

Why do people keep assuming another park ordered this and DW just picked up a bargain, already manufactured coaster that they can make fit in the plot of land they have?

4 hours ago, wikiverse said:VRTP are finally giving Sea World some love after many years of neglect. They're finally building some rides instead of more animal shows and they've committed to a major coaster build from a leading manufacturer even during two years of almost zero interstate and international travel.
Cutting back on some theming isn't the end of the world given the circumstances, but let's also remember that the Hall of Justice, and Spooky Castle at MW are both Colorbond sheds with fibreglass theming applied to the outside. Theming can change, and they may even do it further down the track when the financial position is stronger.
What is being built now may not be the final product, and even if it is, who cares? We're getting a brand new, custom, world-class wooden coaster and two additional flat rides at a time when it would have been easy to justify pulling the pin on the entire investment.
Be Patient. Stop complaining. Enjoy the rides when they finally open regardless of how the theming turns out.
Unless it's LPS. They open with minimal theming after very carefully budgeting to allow 8 new rides, but screw them because it doesn't look like Disneyland...

Will probably end up in a park with more relaxed safety laws, such as Malaysia or Pakistan

That’s an ambitious gradient.
Wouldn't be the first train to rollback in the park

This just shows that DW are listening to feedback and actively trying to improve things

Its definitely become a ride model I question riding now anywhere.
The majority of injuries and deaths caused by rapids rides are the riders doing the wrong thing and falling out. The minority is people falling out because something was wrong with the ride or raft (tube inflation, water flow, too much weight, etc)
Meanwhile the Dreamworld incident was purely a clusterfuck waiting to happen and it really seems like that was the only rapids ride in the world with the safety flaws to allow it to happen.
Generally if you sit and stay put, you'll have no problems. You stand up and dick around, you're gonna have a bad time.- 1

Will we see an article like this about Steel Taipan before it opens? Or has it been covered enough by every theme park photographer being invited in to take photos?

Nice BTS photos. Looks cool

What improvements would you be expecting?
A decent launch?

Meanwhile Blue is unstoppable!

The best rides require crotch crushing... I think I'll stick to the family rides

I thought Riddlers at Magic Mountain was a lot of fun, but yeah you have to get the restraint positioned right so theres that moment of worry in the station trying to stand in the right way when the restraint tightens. Thing is not everyone knows the best way to approach the restraints, especially if they aren't an Enthusiast and haven't read aboout/seen/ridden them before and know the best way.
Huh, I would have thought the enthusiasts would have been the stupid people, not the general public

They really hurt your taint if you don't know the best way to position yourself in one

am sometimes amused at the bipolar nature of this place.
Vortex - "well, you could never have expected them to ACTUALLY build all that theming"
LPS - "why aren't they making it look better?"
Yeah but SW did that as a strategic business move
-
At least with NSW starting to open up, we might see some more photos of the site soon

Clearly the ghost guy is faster than the sunflower guy.
You can't have ghost union members taking down sunflowers or the sunflower union members will strike, and then they'll lose the Christmas Snowflakes AND the Valentine's hearts and then where would we be?
Probably protesting through the streets of Melbourne

Ride the spinning tail of the snake, no not tailspin. Tailwhip

SW could have at least made it look like they were attempting to throw Trident in for the Christmas holiday

At least with a 50 year pass you might get a chance of riding leviathan without having to renew your pass
