It's such a petty argument IMO. Just organise yourself better. It's literally just a gold coin. If money is an issue, leave your bag in the car, if it's not, buy an all day locker. To be honest I find it embarrassing that we as a community argue about two dollar lockers. No wonder Robb Alvey changed the word "locker" to show as "fluffy, fluffy bunny filled with medicine and goo" - seriously, kids are starving in Africa, our own country is refusing the right to refuge, Ukraine's a mess and North Korea's building nukes. With this in mind, I struggle to read a two-page discussion on a topic that's already been beaten to death that slightly inconveniences some people sometimes. For those who complain, i'm reminded of this from talented comedian Louis C.K.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnxNZiF2xSE EDIT: Sorry, wrong Louis CK rant.

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more...

This is turning into a wild thread, that's for sure.

So this skipped under the radar... Looks to be a Zamperla Discovery (?) aka fully inverting Gyro Swing. Will certainly add a new element to the park, especially if they have the chance to operate it at night.

I'd love it if the water cannons made a return. I've only seen them operate a handful of times, but definitely added some extra "wow" to the ride.

I think theming wise, they should just change their name from Dreamworld to Dreamworldks.

You're too kind.

Joint bid for Bermuda Triangle Animatronics?

Congratulations to sea world for the best trolling done by a park yet.

I'm guessing the netting on the scaff towers is to prevent guests from looking at the light from all the welding that's happening?

Whatever the case, it seems Movie World have done a good job in Gordan-ing off the city cafe atleast, I hope they're not two-face about what they're doing inside there. I hope they get it done soon, I'd hate for them to be a joker with how long it's going to take.

I many carb overload. Very bread everywhere.

Whenever I read these forums, I always think.. "why so serious?"

Maybe it's closed for a while due to inclement weather?

Ah, yes, i'm with you now. Those theme parks are tough to survive, afterall. Just remember, get there early, kids.

I'm confused. I've been fortunate enough to never yack at a park. Or have I repressed a memory?

I didn't even bother voting motocoaster. It's better off the list, dismantled and turned into an art piece then placed somewhere in a top 500 list.

The Mitch Hawker Steel Coaster Poll is back this year for another round of entries to be reviewed. For those unacquainted with Hawker's polls, i'd regard it as the only real legitimate coaster poll as it reviews ridden an unridden rides from poller's votes. If you'd like to submit your votes, there's a ballot generator. In the interest of biost favouritism, Superman Escape, Kawasemi, Abyss, Eejanaika & Takabisha topped my list this year for coasters ridden. What's yours?

Avalanche closed, as did the Paddleboat.

Que?

100% agreed. It also died for me the day it went orange. The reality is that Storm is now the park's flagship ride. It visually dwarves Sea Viper when you look at the park from the other side of the spit, and as far as ride experiences go, in my opinion it gets killed by Jet Rescue just next door. It's had its day.

I don't get it though. They've now decided to rip apart an icon of the park but in the same pic they've left those damn chairlift pylons up for how long?

Start of sarcasm I can't imagine who you'd be referring to. End of sarcasm

And last time I checked all of the VRTP parks and attractions were doing pretty damn well.

Start of sarcasm You should call Disney & Lego and see if they'll be onboard too! End of sarcasm My advice? Talk is cheap. Come back when something has materialised. If you're asking us where you should put it instead of talking to councils about land deals or doing hard studies into where the most profitable markets are, in my eyes it's more fiction than reality. In my experience, brilliant execution will get you further then brilliant ideas. I've attached a chart which demonstrates this theory:
