I have a simple example for this debate actually. Autopia at Hong Kong disney is still fun and popular because you ‘drive the car’. The engine is now electric and it has simulated noises but fundamentally the guide rail/steering and speed control is the same as the DLR petrol counterparts. So if they do this style that’s totally fine. If its the Wonderland style where you basically could just sit there arms folded and it made no difference it would suck. Something like Radiator Springs Racers shows you can simulate a petrol engine sound and feel effectively. I know Disney level is a stretch, but hey the park is already allowing the implication they are building Indiana Jones and Temple of the Forbidden Eye

So opinion question: Which is worse? Claiming Sea World’s coaster is the most iconic in the world, or putting the misconception out there that DW is building Indiana Jones from Disneyland California? 😛

So I'm nearly 40 but at one tine I was 5, 6, 10 (shocking I know) and even at that tine I knew Dreamworld cars were awesome and Wonderlands modern electric cars were SHIT! So forget Model T parts or not, the attraction in the current DW cars is definitely because of what they are to both kids and adults alike. They are just kinda 'real'

I wouldn't take the turntable wording too literally... this could easily mean 'flip track' as well. Think it's pretty obvious that this ride will feature a forwards and backwards component which utilises a track switch to achieve this. Think Firechaser Express at Dollywood for some inspo

No you wouldn’t actually because operations would still be finalizing their procedures (remember we are yet to see a train full of people during testing) which then impact on the retail department before final info can be passed on to guest relations. The last think you want is half finished/wrong info being given out because bat shit crazy people then take it as gospel and complain when it changes.

Trees grow…

It’s not though is it. Because it’s juts a secondary access point. The path from Vortex is the main entry. But having this way makes it not a dead end. Plus you also have access on the other side of dockside.

There really isn’t any guarantee of a soft opening. It may very well just open on the second

Are you kidding? The animations in that small clip look very high quality. But also are you actually posting to piss an moan based on a couple seconds of Instagram?

Isn’t that the best kind of inside joke? One that looks harmless to most but a few people who get it get the “oh no they didn’t” lol from it?

Could you teach them how not to type the same thing 3 times in a post?

Yeah I mean half the thrill is pins flying bloody everywhere on a massive strike. That just doesn’t happen with these systems. Pay the techs what they are worth to run the proper machines, it’s not like they charge $5 a game anymore.

People disagree with you because ALL of your ideas and thoughts are not grounded in reality.

Sigh… ok , sure. Totally makes sense

Why on earth would another park who has spent all these costs just let someone else copy and paste it. That’s just not how these things work.

Mate if you think you could fire them in something like the Wild West lift hill I’m glad you’re not working in the park.

See previous statement. Isopar is actual flame. You can’t be using it inside a themed tunnel in proximity to riders.

They sounds exactly like burning electronics so great to see the park taking guests health concerns seriously.

Those spark machines are awful! They cover everything in the crap they produce and are completely impractical for a theme park environment and duty cycle. Anything with DJ Power on it has no place in a theme park, it is low end stuff. CO2 likewise, way impractical due to volume (ie cost) of product used, plus the handling, air monitoring, etc. This is often a problem in Australia, we don’t have the market volume to create enough of a professional niche that just does theme parks. So you end up with general production people selling products and ideas that just won’t go the distance, and parks paying for the capital purchase without the long term maintenance also factored in. This is slowly getting better though than it used to be.

To be completely pedantic one of the ‘ghosts’ actually pulled the big lever which moved to send you backwards. The whole thing was quite a convincing peppers ghost effect which got less and leas so as the years rolled on.

Cold sparks are gross and cover everything in crap

The ride needs millions invested in it to bring it back up to the gem it could be. Doesn’t seem like that’s on the cards at present.

Maybe they’ll go with Velocity Magnets… worked so well for Dollywood 😂😂

So its almost 100% for evac in a blackout then. Scooby has the same.

Are you sure its not a compressor? To the lay person they look very similar and it’s more likely there is a problem with the ride’s air compressor so they have a temporary one in place…
