    Didn't vortex open with Kmart bins and then eventually get permanent ones on the fence?

    Why no carrot?

    More testing

    @Rivals Nah, needs to be groups of guests filling behind each gate as soon as the previous group have taken their seats. This probably means having a group waiting in the cave, which would actually be good because its an awesome space you want to spend more time in. The station should have dots on the floor like Arkham used to have, so you should be able to have 2 guests for each gate plus 2 behind them against the wall.

    The electrical room got water damage too.

    I think perhaps if a ride is brand new you don't think to navigate through to the maintenance page. A thoosie might since they know that sudden closures can happen. But for a layperson, if the ride is promoted as open, you'd assume its open. I recall when Lighting Rod was having problems they actually had a banner across the park home page saying what the status was that day (It had been closed for several days before my scheduled visit so it was right in your face that it was closed...and then the day before my visit it was working again, so I jumped for joy and jumped straight in the car and got there that afternoon) Anyway, I think its a good way of doing it, since it makes it hard to miss and it's upfront.

    I think what he meant is that he is surprised that painting commenced on the top without priming.

    I would actually lol if the spelling gets corrected on the Vortex and precinct entry signs.

    I think there's a vein of "sticking up for the little guy" too and people are happy to see a smaller park grow up. A Vekoma SFC is definitely a "higher effort" family attraction than some of the cheaper family rides out there. I would have been happy with that alone. Getting Buzzsaw reminds me of the circumstances DW got Cyclone, right place right time, and all of a sudden 2 rides in one year (along with the pre-exsting lineup) means Gumbuya is a small, but reasonably well balanced park. I feel now they don't have any real glaring holes in their lineup, they can add anything and it will be a plus.

    Mitty theme parks also has some nice testing footage and a look at the continued site/theming works

    ^I disagree on that one because then you just get a crappy queue snaking on the midways out in the hot sun.

    I dunno. There's a difference between being totally literal and a reasonable assumption. (link) Like when a new supermarket opens you understand that to mean its open for you during normal trading hours not open at that very second. ' Re guests understanding of what a soft opening is on the day and how well they accept breakdowns, I'll leave that for those with frontline guest experience.

    Here is the full cypher if anyone wants to start decoding the messages in the area. This one says "worthy" This says spirit Vowt?x N?R ATLANTIS So basically it seems like the R and W got switched at some point and the letter E changed totally.

    I dont think the exit is temporary walls. They are finished in that pearlescent paint with wavy lines, just like the photo pass area and the test seat area.

    Would kids be able to tell the difference between a water playground made by Pro slide vs the current onevmade by Whitewater West? I still don't understand why people just want other parks to get the same rides that already exist in Australia. Eg why do you want a Steel Taipan clone?

    It's a regional dialect.
  17. Gazza
    Indeed, nice to have some variety compared to Scenic Railway or Wild Mouse.

    It's actually kind of cool seeing a big deal made out of an opening day!

    Nice little rundown of the install of the ride.
  20. Gazza
    But the 1st train should be out of the station on DCR before the 2nd one gets back, so the station block is clear. If the train didnt have to fully stop on the brakes it wouldn't have to crawl on the last turn.

    Space mountain is a bit more gentle than your average wooden coaster though.
  22. Gazza
    Train is on the track and looks like they are getting all the systems up and running: https://www.facebook.com/gumbuyaworld/videos/1544797515963915

    Roughly the bottom quarter of the tower is covered in white primer now too.

    And we have some new photos of construction today too thanks to @Luke https://www.parkz.com.au/search/photos/location/supanova From the video, the layout: Compared the original design: Happy that they made the the final drop the same size as Gravity Wave, looks much better. The flying saucer looks a bit supernova-ish too.

    Does anyone else reckon they will do flowing water on the roof of the Trident queue?
