We have to pick one. Someone said that DW only move to one train op when park numbers a low, but MW do it when the whole place is jammed. So are all parks dead or not? I’m all for comparing parks, and I say 1 train op for a busy park is crap. But can’t keep having this two different rules comparisons (not that I’m accusing you personally of doing that).

Well seems that investment has really paid off for the park then in terms of bringing in the crowds.

Reports are ST is already on one train op so…

Obviously for TV you run an add with a crazy amount of footage cut between the 3 coasters which will look like a massive attraction, have forwards and backwards, and likely dueling moments. I’ve got no doubt if this is the new addition then 90% of the park’s potential customers will see whatever ad they put out and think it’s awesome. As I mentioned in another thread I couldn’t care less about thread bare statistics of fastest coaster this side of Nerang of any of that crap. A solid ad that makes the ride(s) look awesome will go a long way. As will no doubt some sort of inevitable tag line of Village Parks, home of Australia’s best coasters!! (Which will make me cringe, but it’ll work)

You can post anything you like. But that doesn’t mean that: a) the self commissioned enthusiast police won’t attack you to protect the sacred honor of the parks policies b) VRTP themselves won’t try and find staff responsible for violating their employment agreements and take action against them. So basically post what you wish at your own mercy/risk.

Given Vekoma call their inverts Suspended Coasters it’s likely it’s the former.

Well could also be (now this is purely speculation mind you) that you have a trained supervisor go down with covid scare, and you don’t have anyone else trained in that role available to fill the shift.

I think there is a balance between the two that would be right, and the current version isn’t quite that, so 100% see your point of view. I could think of a few things I’d change right now that I don’t think work at all. And whilst a really solid story, it lands a little bit too depressing for me. Having said that I’d take 90% of this show over the last one with a random circus scene plonked in the middle with a plastic elephant For me, less death and a bit more audience interaction and it would be a 👍 from me.

Probably exactly why they have gone with this ‘3 for the price of 1’ concept, to 100% tackle capacity. Whilst I agree flats would be good, hell so would a whole new kids area, coasters drive gate.

Well not really, they completely changed the style of the show, the first time really since first opening. Some will like the change and some won’t, everyone has opinions, doesn’t make you wrong and they right, or vice versa. As for comparing the projection between Outback and Scooby, that’s a bit like saying a Wacky Worm and DC Rivals are the same because they are roller coasters.

I’ve got 4 RATs in my bag traveling back from interstate today. Up for grabs only $150 a pop, PM me …of course jokes.

Well no you can thank the CEO of another park for the complete joke that was Scooby Next Gen. It’s the current CEO, COO and GM that at least three a bunch of money at the disaster a few years ago to try and get some life into the disco room, unfortunately then Covid happened and they weren’t able to prioritize the rest. There is also an entirely new philosophy to managing the company in a positive way, and we forget the millions of dollars Dreamworld cost VRTP as a result of all the changes they had to make after DW when and killed a bunch of people. Millions that could have been spent on new attractions otherwise. Not to mention the biggest investment ever for a new show at Outback Spectacular a few years back, an asset the old management were almost happy to just let die. Greg was only ever the GM of Movie World so he is not responsible for Atlantis no matter how much people would like to believe anything good him- anything bad Bikash.

Never underestimate the power of The Tate! 😜

I think all generations are guilty of it. After all the laziest ride MW every built was Spaceshot and that was firmly Menzies through and through. Fisher gave us Justice League and whilst being the crap version it was still a decent effort. And Doomsday they clearly put ALL the effort in the theme and stuff all in the ride. Don’t get me wrong, I was as happy as anyone to see the new era of Kirby and Bikash replace Fisher and Bob but not EVERYTHING they did was bad and EVERYTHING the Menzies and Longhursts of the world was golden.

I’ll be amazed if this eventuates into anything.

So do Movie World get some kind of medal because all their rides are open now? Like OMFG look how amazing they are improving, truly a new era, that other park sure is going down hill though, can’t even have a train running.

Standard residents are jerks situation

Ironically most places prefer the apple wallet cert or the check in app ‘tick’ yet both are way easier to forge than the online myGov animated certificate. **not I haven’t forged them as I have no need but I’ve seen a few!

As they should be

Sounds like bunch of stuff just not turned on. Likely because it was turned off during testing because it was annoying workers and nobody has checked it. Sure it wasn’t the updated sounds from before this closure?

Definitely opened

Here’s the thing, if you have to explain your ‘record breaking’ stat then it’s bullshit and you shouldn’t even be promoting it. You can be the tallest, the fastest or hell even have the most inversions… but that’s it! Go away with any of these other ridiculous statistics.

Doesn’t surprise me that there would be a few bad eggs in that area

Have you been into a single bar or restaurant? Because I haven't found A SINGLE ONE that isn't checking as you enter or sit.

On anything, let alone theme parks
