Ha! Oh wow so am I. I guess uh... do you wanna build a snowman? ... I thought the same thing actually but a quick search revealed that it's Disney World's second most visited park and the apparent fifth most visited park in the world.

No need for any of that guys. I have deleted the posts and edited ones that referred to the "debate". Banter is fun but let's keep the posts semi-appropriate and on topic hey Agree that Frozen is a logical choice for the next major attraction. I rarely give animated movies a go but Frozen was brilliant with expertly written songs - hardly surprising that Bobby Lopez co-wrote The Book of Mormon with equally as amazing and catchy songs.

I can't believe we're actually talking about grass growing but yeah, they had a bunch of sprinklers on so they probably do want it to look a little more lush before making it accessible. Exciting times for our parks It was quite crowded as of 11am. Jet Rescue looked to have a 30-40 min wait. Car park almost full - sure it was a stunning day but I thought school holidays were over?

Popped in for a quick look at the site today. Not a whole lot to report other than a couple guys dumping soil around the newly planted greenery, but I took a few pics anyway. With the shrubs being utilized as a fence it seems unlikely the grass area will be publicly accessible. Sea World trialing new single car trains on Jet Rescue. Not really.

I think they took a liking to your idea Alex! Great to see them doing something with the area in the meantime rather than leaving a patch of dirt.

Well in fairness we didn't know that grass was being laid

Unrelated or not, what's wrong with sharing and exposure? Photography is largely a hobby. I don't see the issue with people wanting to share their work. FWIW my father and brother, as with many professional photographers, self taught and don't have any tertiary qualifications. Since we're listing credentials and achievements today, they have won multiple categories in large competitions worldwide -- they got to where they were by sharing and critiquing theirs and other's work and contributing to the community, not by being spiteful of other "shit hot" photographers and questioning their right to share their work.

Images work fine. Thanks for the update!

But that's exactly how a single rider line should work. If that queue isn't significantly shorter than the normal queue then it doesn't serve a purpose.

Thanks mate! Sure is a fun ride.

Here's a little video I shot and cut of the media event today. Have to agree with Slick it's a nice ride - certainly challenging to get it spinning properly but that's half the appeal. It's very rerideable. For someone that absolutely hates spinning rides I really enjoyed it. It can be as tame or as nauseating as you want it to be - I found a nice inbetween and thought it was fantastic. Great addition.

Totally agree. Would be quite nice actually. It'd be a shame if the construction fencing remained for months.

Still no work to report on the site as of today. FWIW though I actually think the skyline of the park looks better now. Hated the orange. Picture perfect day may have helped but the park in general (landscaping/environment) is looking spectacular.

Sorry for the delay, had an issue with my phone at the park. Ninja's photos probably better show the queue line but I'll upload mine anyway - didn't really want to get too creepy and close taking pictures of little kids. Queue line entry to the right as you walk in. To the left is... This. Didn't get a chance to ride but I was very impressed with what I saw. Kids were loving it. Other notes - HWSD2 still makes little to no sense but it's still very much a crowd pleaser. Perhaps even more so than the original. If they could just find a way to make the fireball relevant it'd be good. Oh and new lasers in Scooby don't hurt your eyes.

Yeah I'm here now, give me 30 mins.

Video of the ride: Would have to come down to being under the height restriction. How horrible.

Looks even better in the video. Good work MW.

Looks like they've done a great job. Only gripe I have (which I suspected it would be) is the black ceiling, made even more prominent by the natural light coming in. Think I mentioned this before but if it were painted like this it would make it 100x more immersive. Even if the ceiling was removed and it became an outdoor attraction it'd look better. Can't have everything though -- overall a brilliant job and I'm pleasantly surprised. I can see VRTP doing very well this year with this and WnW Junior.

^ How do they look?

^ I actually think the POV on youtube is a pretty good representation on the experience (which is rare for these kind of rides) and enough to base an opinion on, certainly an opinion on the animatronics (his main gripe). This point in the ride really bothers me. There's enough of nothing going on to really make you focus on the static animatronics. Looking back on my last ride I also remember thinking that the audio needed to be a lot louder. The dialogue in particular.

Technically yes it's a flat but the GP have no idea. And considering that's their target market not us enthusiasts, so long as it's believable by GP standards Six Flags can do whatever they want. If SFMM were to get one it wouldn't add to their official coaster tally though. I did find it pretty funny that they tried to pass off the four looping coasters as different rides in the video haha Twisted Colossus looks insane. This is the way to do racing coasters IMO - experiencing both sides without having to line up again is great.

Not that hard to figure out. DazzaM translated it pretty well. Has it occurred to anyone that Trevor might have a certain condition that makes it hard to form coherent sentences, let alone build up courage to post on a public forum? Take the extra minute to figure out what he said and contribute if you have anything constructive to say.

Also agreed. I thought Batman was a solid experience - infinitely more re-rideable than a ride built for re-rideability (JL)! I would've loved to see them refurb Batman, update the ride to be akin to modern simulators and built JL in another location.

For me the scenes just aren't immersive enough. It's brilliantly themed and has so much potential but there are periods of nothingness or notmuchness. I know keeping it family friendly is a delicate balance but the final scene has to be the most underwhelming thing ever - a heatlamp and some air. If the atmospherics matched the chaos it'd be cool... Louder music and effects, more bass, wind, co2

Yes, that is relatively recent. What is the point of your post? Not sure why there's always a few people that'll pick on small irrelevant things in posts without contributing to the discussion. Personally I would love to see them add something similar to Bombora at WnWS, perhaps even a longer model. That is hands down the most thrilling slide I've ever been on.
