  1. For the longest time Wet 'n' Wild GC was the defacto king of the coolest, newest waterslides, and now they've been beaten for a few years now by regional parks a third their size. Definitely time for some cool new stuff for both Wet 'n' Wild AND WhiteWater World.
  2. Then you should write your post as such. I think what's really exceptional about this new attraction is Tokyo DisneySea have demonstrated that you can actually apply an exceptional vision/theme/basis that works well with the ride experience AND (as it turns out) you can actually market flying rides well. It's classic Oriental Land Co. to a tee - take whatever's in the Imagineering Catalogue and turn it up to eleven. Also, who would've thought Soaring would've opened before Sky Voyager?
  3. I was pretty clearly referencing the last line there in regards to the extended downtime, which Wild West Falls went through post Thunder River Rapids incident. Suffice to say, most of the changes during that extended downtime aren't guest-facing and were in light of the incident, hence why @pushbutton would be confused. Agreed though, West is in desperate need of love - now that Scooby has been defiled changed, West is easily the front-runner for the country's best themed ride.
  4. There’s a mega thread you can check out that tracks all the post-TRR changes that were made.
  5. It's an example aimed to illustrate the point that I reckon you're way off the mark in your thinking there, captain. Tokyo DisneySea's rated by most critics to be the best theme park in the world, bar none, and you don't get that kind of status just by having pretty queue lines and not much else.
  6. Water rides down for maintenance during winter, eh? That's smart. Would be nice to have that kind of logic over at Sea World, too.
  7. I think that's like saying Disney sucks because they don't do sick thrill rides like Six Flags.
  8. Incase you wondered why Tokyo DisneySea is easily the world's best park, here's another reason:
  9. What a bunch of dickheads. I wonder what the kids will get charged with.
  10. I'd imagine a few of them would be off for winter.
  11. Isn't @Gazza literally doing that right now?
  12. So much for the hotel that was in the masterplan.
  13. Pretty lazy page-filler honestly. And look, I get it's ultimately just an opinion piece, but the article omits two expensive and park-defining rides (Looney Tunes & Wipeout at Movie World and Dreamworld, respectively) for crap like waterslides and chairlifts.
  14. Sorry to say they’re a universally panned ride experience. Rough as guts and uneventful. On a more serious note, poached Gregs anyone?
  15. Definitely the back of Ben Hogan's head to the left of Greg Yong. He wouldn't be there if they weren't talking about Dreamworld.
  16. Lol thanks guys. I dunno how I became the defacto Dreamworld billboard guy though.
  17. Greg Yong was recently appointed as Chief Operating Officer. I've now edited your post to reflect this. This was already reported in the Dreamworld Winterfest thread, but i'm happy for this topic to have its own thread.
