What themed zone do the Cyber Drift bumper cars belong to?

I think when people talk about successful 500 cycles, they are talking about the final stage where you are "stress testing" the ride and just running it non stop. The final box to tick, so to speak. You'd hope the ride was stopping in the right place every time by that point. All this finer calibration you mention where you measure stopping positions, individually test circuits etc happens early on. I would think so, I mean think of all those travelling rides where the fencing is just standard crowd barriers you see at New Years Eve.

You can def send a train every 3 mins with live guests and a good crew. I mean a 3 min interval = 20 trains per hour, 20 seats, is "only" 400 persons per hour. I imagine its even quicker without guests, you don't have to wait for them to be seated or store items, you are just cycling the gates and flicking the restraints down.

The thing that bugs me about RWS is that the layout is too spread out, and presumably all that space has to be cleaned and maintained (And heck built in the first place) It's literally a 500m walk between the raft slides and the racers But you go to WnW and its "full" and doesnt have these massive areas of empty paving and flat grass or bark chips.

There's nowhere else in the ride that has sloped red walls like this, so I'm not sure of the reason for denying the doors being there. I can see the doors have a seam at the edge so im presuming its like the doors on Test Track where they normally slide apart, but if they fail to open there are spring loaded hinges so they function like old ghost train school crash doors.

Big if true. As the crow flies, its already 1km between the base and summit stations, by road its 3km (following a more steady gradient down the hill) It could well be one of the longest Alpine Coasters in the world, no matter which way you cut it.

i think what makes USJ a challenge is the attendance is now higher there than TDL, but the park just never anticipated those sorts of crowds, and everything is over subscribed. Great that the park is so popular though!

King Claw - Larger Replacement Intamin Gyro Swing for Dreamworld
Gazza replied to Tricoart's topic in Theme Park Discussion
IAPPA gets moved around, and it's not just about the actual show floor. They also run site visits. Eg IAPPA Orlando last year you could do tours of Rise of the Resistance, Volcano Bay, Pipeline Surf Coaster etc. The Asia show has been held in Shanghai, Singapore etc. The Amsterdam show this year has tours of Efteling, Toverland, Center Parcs So attendees interested in particular attractions for their own Parks, interested in learning about operations at other parks, new technologies etc can do all this sort of stuff on the same trip. Or heck even visit suppliers or other parks on their own 021002
