    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.

    Look, hold on, that's not really fair.

    It's actually pretty on point for its original concept.

    Not even, This shed is clearly white. The shed we're getting is clearly cream

    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...

    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.

    By the way B&M filed a patent with a seat that can actually move a bit during the ride cycle to make it less likely to get wedged. Hope to see this appear.

    Bolliger & Mabillard Files Patent for Stand-Up Coaster Restraint -  Coaster101

    But only stupid people find these rides uncomfortable, why would B&M need to change it?

    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

    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
