Slick

To get some conversation started..... Did you know that the Sling Shot up at Surfer's Paradise (went there last week, didn't get any photos, sorry) go's up to 160km/ph, can go up to 80 metres high, and experiences 6g's?

Just wondering, how did HBL close down and why? PS:yes, i do realise this question is out of date.....

ummm...... ok.........

There you go

hey does anyone remember the billy conolly special with him travelling around Australia? the reason i brought this up was because there was some good clips of a helicopter going over Luna Park at night with the Big Dipper going...... actually, appart from David's photo, does anyone else have photos of the old Big Dipper?

hey joz, like ur signature..... coz its soooo true

hehe, you got that Demon photo from Duane Marden (www.rcdb.com) He's cool PS: here here everybody, this is my 50th post, enjoy :!:

If you have any more picture requests or just would like to ask me a question, feel free to ask away!!

Part 4 Well after having a blast patting a croc and holding onto a huge baby python (it was already over 6 feet!!!!) we were about to reach the climax of the day, THE GIANT DROP We only queued for a matter of minutes whitch felt like seconds with their "interactive theming" which is really just a whole bunch of crap useless computer chips with buttons you can press! Just on a funny note: while we were lining up my cousin david (who we call guppie, even though he is huge and he's only 30!) was asking me questions about THE GIANT DROPinfront of a group of mighty fine chicks... hehe............ anyway...... I first was feeling a bit resentful after going on the helicopter so i hopped on the seat 1 from the left side?!?! Anyway, while i chatted with a really nice guy that i didn't know on the way upTHE GIANT DROP,my friends were pissing themselves (more on that at the end *wink *wink) and while i was talking to this dude i felt the magnets start. After just a few seconds I noticed (in all of my years of TOT watching) the main drive starting to churn and then with a final gasp of wimpering air we fell our 119meter, 134k/ph, 4.5g descent down my favourite daddy of 'em all, THE GIANT DROP But you see one of my friends weren't expecting the descent downwards and while he was swallowing we fell, and you guessed it, he walked out with a puddle of slag on his crutch (yes, yes, insert your smutty joke here) So after riding that again on the very side of the gondola another 2 times i think we ended our day with the very boring cyclone and then the not so boring ThunderBolt. So there's my day, and while i have left a couple of minor unimportant details in the report, honestly, who cares :?: :twisted: :mrgreen: PS: in my final words, check my little paragraphs with the piccies! oh and this thread isn't over yet, i still have ride analysis to come yet folks! PPS: soon (once when i get a digital camera or a scanner, which ever comes first) i will be sending my onride photos to you guys *wink *wink plus i'll show you my "TOT MERCHANDISE" but until then, say hi to ya mum for me... hehe

Oh ok!!!!!!!!!!!! Just wondering, does anyone have photos of the water park?

Do u have any more videos of the Space Probe? They are really good!!!

The ekka is brisbane's annual exhibition e.g. carnival rides like dodgems and stuff plus showbags and you know...... where the loud mouth guy stands next to his rigged booth and says psycholically manipulative phrases to get people to "toss the horse shoe"! (Yes, i do realise there are a lot of big words in this post...)

Well less than a week ago i went to dreamworld for a peek at the theming there and this is it folks (sorry about the quality, the sunlight was beeming into the camera lense! :?

I'd say for holiday periods, the weekend will certainly give you a slash in queues (especially the TOT!!) But if you're heading down to DreamWorld on a school day, tuesday-thursday is your best bet PS: BEWARE FOR ALL WHO READ THIS! DO NOT GO TO DREAMWORLD ON EKKA WEDNESDAY! IT IS DREAMWORLD'S BIGGEST DAY OF THE YEAR! I WENT THERE ONCE ON EKKA WED. AND THE QUEUE JUST TO GET IN WAS OVER 1 HOUR! :x

Hey! I recken it's alright because it's funny and revelant to the post! So keep talking nonsense because its cool, yeah! :shock: :shock:

Well if you want to know just refer to my new post "b'day at dreamworld" or something like that :?

Yeah i've got to agree... I mean, if you want your wow factors to really kick in and you like your G's to kick you with a red-hot boot, then DreamWorld is your definite bet, but to "really" escape to another "world" for a "day" ( ) than MovieWorld will do that with ease.

But back to the point, has anyone heard any info about the TOT of late PS:does anyone have any cool photos of the TOT? PPS: i am getting a max action pass soon so i can keep in touch with DreamWorld muahhhhh!!!! :twisted:

PS: the koala photo DOES NOT look like me! I look like a freak in that photo! :x

( ( ( ( ( (Part 3) ) ) ) ) ) Sweet, as you can see in the photos below and from part 2, the views from the Helicopter were magnificent and while the camera was slightly slow, i still got some good photos. But after something that felt like just 2 minutes, i hopped back out of the Helicopter ready to go on the Tower Of Terror (the most coolest ride on the planet muuahhh!) It was a long wait whith TOT having some minor problems, but after supposedly being in queue line for 40 minutes ( which is apparently the max. queue time wait for TOT, even though no -one was there) we boarded the spiked, 6 tonne pod. While quietly sitting down in my favourite seat (front-row centre :mrgreen: ) i asked the attendent if she could "pump it up~to the MAX and also stated that she should do this coz its my B'day (hehe, its just so cool!) while she did as much as she could we probably only went up 3 quarters of the tower, but still i got a funny looking on-ride photo of me afterwards! But this was not all, after having done that, we met up with Janet (Rspca Head of department For QLD) and went behind 'Australia's wildlife experience' and went into their Wild life Centre, which was a unbeleivably long-narrow building (yes i mean this builiding (or 3 strips) was huge) We first met a man named Justin, who was about 40 and he took us into Quarantine where i met A Huge python (below) and another array of animals such as a couple of frilled neck lizards, 1 of the most endangered types of Geckos on the planet, a few more pythons and a couple of turtles (YAY!) Then we headed outside where we met up with this stupid bloody owl that kept turning his head when i tried to take a photo coz everyone was distracting it (below) and a huge Hawk (below) that was in a real crappy mood...... We finished with a croc and went outside to get a free photo of a koala (below) and then finally Janet went into the bird avory check up on her favourite Budgie!!!!! Coming soon! Part 4

Actually, if its gonna look like the V2 is now, don't worry!

Well i am actually doing it for MW and stuff and its just not that hush hush as its supposed to be!

Yes, yes, i'm off to MovieWorld hopefully this holiday break but unlike everyone else, this visit is with a slight difference.... here's the story..... My brother's girlfriend who i know really well works in the office for Australia's biggest crane and construction company and seeming i have one of the biggest databases (250 videos and pictures) of DreamWorld's construction, maps, logos, rollercoasters, rides, scenery, stations, skulls, towers, signs, trains, birds, koalas, buildings............... Anyway she's asking her boss if i can take the photos of the Matrix ride while its being built!!!!!!! :shock: Yes everyone, that's right, I am now your insider, and another cool thing is that: 1)i will be getting a copy of the photos 2)If i go there and its a success, they will hopefully let me keep going, to not only MovieWorld but to all the themeparks, including DreamWorld! Muaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :bert: ?

Well, The Runaway Reptar was welll running away from, coz the ride is nothing, just a train on a track going up and down a small hill. So after getting the craving for speed (no not a lot of speed, but a bit of speed) we went on the ThunderBolt (in the 4th post i'll give, in detail, a ride analysis). What cheap thrills that was.......... But keeping in mind i had a Birthday to attend and by now it was about 12:00pm we went to the Central Cafe to celebrate my B'day! It was so cool!!! As u can c we r in the private room which was so cool! But it was after a long time that i then went onto the DreamWorld Helicopter to take some good photos! Well i'm off, until number 3

G'day everyone! Hope your in a comfortable chair coz this is gonna blow u away (yes i realise that's the cyclone slogan, that's why i bought an on-ride of me riding it!) It all started of one early, crisp morning in the month of June '03 where one 13 year-old youngster hopped out of his bed, got dressed (pretty smart move to take there :? ) and ventured out onto his local train station, where his friends were waiting for the birthday boy. They were all cheering and performing their birthday singalongs when we boarded the train and headed for this Birthday boy's favourite (and yes i mean absolutelycrapodoselysuchabiggely favourite) place in the world, one simple theme park nestled just 40 minutes south of Brisbane (oo yes, that's a fact :twisted: ) After several train swaps over a period of 2 hours :!: , we finally jumped off at Coomera station, where we hopped into a cute little bus where we started our final part of our journey to the place that roars! While the lady driving our bus stated a whole heap off misleading facts ( no the Tower Of Terror isn't a pole stupid, and no it doesn't go 165km per hour and nor does it pull off 6 G's stupid!) i took out the video camera to obtain a few shots of my sweetheart, my ...... 125 metre tall sweetheart...... anyway...... We hopped out of the little car, and after doing a quick head count of all of my friends, we ventured through the entry gates with our pre-paid tickets shining as did my face..... (and i don't mean that in a weird psychological, minipulative way.) We rounded everyone up and ran, well, i ran to the nearest rollercoaster around, the Runaway Reptar......... And so the journey begins, in this 4 part story :mrgreen:
