Im hoping for a better company than SF since they are going badly at the moment, and they neglect their parks a bit, and anyway, SF has been selling some of its parks, so its probably just trying to downsize. The companies I would like to see are WVTP (they do a nice job), Tussauds (well run parks with nice theming), Universal (excellent quality), Disney (im dreaming) or Cedar Fair (Unlikely), but who knows, we might get hit by another company, or maybe that spyland mob will set up there.

Nah, i was referring to the Dummies book link, but meh. I doubt this thing a lot, they would probably build somewhere better than here.

So Paul, whats that got to do with the price of fish in China? stay on topic.

Isnt the other pub north of Albury (NSW)

An interesting thing to watch out for is the motion simulator that looks like this mythological/atlantis themed thing. At last years show in Melbourne the ride film was a no limits track screen capture with some added objects and colour editing and the sound track had been changed. Im not sure if Ole gave permission for his game to be used that way, but i laughed when i saw that. I dont know if they will show the same film, but given all this, dont ride it, it sucks.

I dont think Gs would be a problem when going sideways if the acceleration was smooth, its no different than being in the sideways seats in a bus.

Yeah, i agree too, is there like a special way you have to push a button? the result is always the same, and im pretty sure that the op would have said clearly what to do, I mean, its a menial task a monkey could complete.

Yeah, those waterslides are ok, but not as nice as the one that goes into the Ovens river at Bright, a very nice out of park setting. I wonder if Centerpoint could really be used for a coaster? it managed to hold up those big metal coasters, so i think a simpler roller coaster track could be possible, maybe the track could be inverted as it would be quite cool being up there with no floor. Another idea for a "ride" as you might call it, is to get a Zorb ball and roll down the fire stairs of a tall building, you could use the freight lift to bring the ball back to the top.

See, that was the vein I was trying to hit, if it were australian themed then it could then have a chance in the Asian market, I can just see it now, The Australian animal kingdom, AUSCOT, some sort of of Australian themed water park, hotel/s ect.

In this topic, there is little point critisising about feasablity since the ideas are so out there already.

The thing is, will the people in the Asian countries you mentioned just go to DLT or DLHK?

Well, KBF and SFMM have little themeing compared to Disney, but they survive.

You asked for it. For my home town, i thought of putting a freefall ride on our telecommunications tower in the middle of town, it reaches a height of 88m so its pretty big already, and the tower has an observation deck on it about halfway up reached by steel stairs to the top, the top part is a metal deck with a roof and dirty windows, and is full of graffiti and is used for drugs, so I generally steer clear, which is a shame since it has great potential, but enough talk about the actual structure, my idea was to put a freefall ride down the side. The track wouldnt be vertical due to the towers shape, but it would be cool. In fact, any sort of tall building could be a candidate for a drop ride, or maybe one of the towers on the bolte bridge could be good too once they reclaim the land around the base. Another idea could be to build not just a coaster, but a whole park in a quarry, i think there could be a possible site for something like this beside the Princess Fwy at Little River, it would be so nice having this bowl shaped park in a quarry, with trees all around with a central feature in the middle, the coasters would all start in the middle of the park and go up the sides of the quarry before doing a u turn and completing a fast downhill run back into the middle of the park. Another one of my crazy ideas was an Inverted coaster that went around my school wrapping around the buildings. Maybe it would just be cool to have a coaster go around a CBD, like how the monorail goes around the Sydney CBD. In melbourne the coaster could start near QV and just run down the streets attached to the sides of buildings, with linear elements like vertical loops, barrel rolls, launches and airtime hills making up the bulk of the ride. Hmm why not extend the system into a whole coaster public transport system, i mean everyone finds commuting a grind, so why not make it fun.

If a Disney park were to open here, it would probably end up being much smaller than a regular Disney park to make up for the fact there would be lower visitor rates than the other Disney parks. Another possiblity could be Disneys Australian Adventure, which would be a similar idea to Disneys California Adventure, I am well aware that DCA isnt as good as the other disney parks, but it is still better than what we have to offer here. But i think any sort of park with the Disney name would probably do well here, no matter how small since many people dream of "taking the kids to disneyland" and with the opportunity to do it here, they would jump on it.

I Guess not.

When the time comes, would it be possible for you to post a sample page of how the magazine will look? Also, when will I lose my avatar? Ill probably consider getting this closer to when the DVD and magazine are due for release. One idea for the DVD could be to have still photo gallerys we can look through.

In some articles it is refered to as a museum, and in others a theme park, a museum would be fine since there are museums about a lot of sad things, but i think a theme park is just a bit tacky and disrespectful, I mean would they do a theme park about Gallipoli or Lockerbie for example? Then again, i dont think we will actually see a theme park, many tourist attractions are refered to as theme parks, but the term is often used in a figurative sense and more often than not, its just a interactive museum.

Yeah, we dont need Disney, but we dont need a lot other nice stuff either. These are both wants, therefore, we may not need disney, but we can sure as hell want it .

Hmm, the disney executives were probably just a co-incidence, but a comittee sounds cool. But I wont start getting my hopes up till they actually announce a project for real.

Yeah, the blocking system for WWF would work like you described, There are also devices that can stop the boat completley, usually a gate type device. These are visible when you ride on Vikings Revenge at SW at the top of the drop.

You obviously havent seen Spiderman at Islands of Adventure.

Err, I have a question. If the train is in the station, then how will they get it out of service without doing another cycle? The transfer table is located at the end of the ride before the station, so the only way to get it off the ride would be to cycle it.

Hmm, i havent been outside of Australia, but I love how Alton Towers looks, good rides, good theming all set in the English countryside.

Ah yes of course, the T1-83, i ended up deleting the games off mine because they mess up with how the graphing side of things is set up. To tell the truth, they arent great, no better than the games on an old mobile phone, but i must admit Dope Famer is a cool little game, no mattter how politicaly incorrect. I recently got hold of a factorising program for it, but i havent had a chance to use it properly yet because in our polynomials test we werent allowed calculators. But anyway, back to the DS.

Errr, I thought it had been well established the ride was going to be am Intamin Accelerator, whats all this talk about a hulk coaster for anyway?
