  1. Ah yes, what a pain in the rear end the old lady was. Every other day during the dismantle of the park she would be there. We would see her car up at security and all of us would scatter like mice. She wanted everything it all started with ALL the Billabong Grove shelters and quickly spread across the park. Nice old thing though just annoying. Towards the end she bought in frozen roast legs for a few of us (there was only myself and two or three others left at this stage) I knew of where she took it all as Alex said up at North Richmond and a few years ago I ventured up there drove down her drive a bit, saw some of the old park but then got out of there for fear of being stuck there the rest of the day talking to her. The green tubular steel is from the roof/shadecloth structure from the freshwater croc area in the WLP. That kangaroo coming out of the bin is pretty trick!

  2. Hello I Was Just Woundering i live Near Dreamworld And How Can I Pick Up Dreamworld Radio On My Radio??
    Are you talking about the inter park communications radio or the music you hear when you walk around the park? Either way you do not have much chance - the comms radios would operate on a fixed frequency that Dreamworld have the licence to operate on and as said by Mattcrombie the park music would run from a CD.
  3. Supertubes hydrocoaster uses series of Linear Induction Motors (LIM) for propulsion uphill. The boats are fitted with an alloy plate underneath. When the boat passes over the LIM built into the slide it triggers and the rides computer calculates the boats current velocity then engages the LIM array with the energy required to maintain the velocity of the boat. The LIM creates magnetic fields that attract the alloy plate as it travels towards each LIM in the array then repells the plate as it passes over the LIM maintaining the forward motion. THe boat passes over LIM after LIM after LIM as each attracts then repells in sequence until the metal plate is no longer detected by the sensors and the LIM disengages as the boat reaches and passes over the peak of the incline.
    Do you know what composite the alloy is? Just wondering as it must bean interesting make up.
  4. Maybe "Cathy Freeman's Minka Bird MegaCoaster" to satisfy the need for a sportsperson endorsement, or "Nike's Cathy Freeman Minka Bird MegaCoaster" so that they also have a brand affiliation which means they can sell products with other companies' logos?
    That would really make Anthony Mundine happy!
  5. I wholly agree with what Richard has said regarding Sea World, I think it is the better of the main 3 parks on the Gold Coast. Last year I was lucky enought to be granted free entry to all parks on the Gold Coast (Sea, Movie, Dream, WnW, PC) and after going to Sea World the very first day we went to Dreamworld then to Movie World and were meant to do PC and WnW but because we enjoyed Sea World so much we forfeited those to go back which was nice of them to allow us to change prior arrangements. We would be representative of the young family demographic. I think Sea World is a park not to be missed because of it's fantastic variety of animal exibits and shows with more than decent rides to mix it up a little. The location, layout and lack of imposing facades/seemingly confined spaces are second to neither of the other two parks.

  6. Like I said they will be referred to as Cable by everyone - even Wiki and at other sources but within the industry they are Ropes.

    I didn't find it interesting at all.Spose I wont take the time out of my life to write a report for you jerks again.
    My post was not for the sole purpose of satisfying one person and I never expected that everyone would find this interesting but I posted knowing the majority of this community would be.No more reports from you, well they didn't interest me anyway but I wouldn't have gone out of my way to post that.
  7. The wires or cables that launch the train.
    Just fyi and a little interestring fact. The correct term for those linear steel things that launch the train is "ropes". Wires and Cables refer to electrical units. But many people still call them Cables amongst other things and will continue to do so. Just an interesting note though.
