Bus: i wouldnt convert it to an observation tower at the current site, last time i checked that was being redevolped, they are trying to sell it remember so if a customer were to buy it, that could be a possible use. Slick: it would be a rising cabin observation tower for which it would be converted to: http://www.ridetrade.com/r_products_towers.htm Daniel: I am, you were just incorrectly influenced by the two posts above me, i thought you were a smarter person than that.

I would have done that, only i dont have RCT3, my computer isnt good enough for it and it seems to be just RCT2 with perspective and 25 FPS.

I think now newer slide technologies are move likely since WNW seem to be freeing themselves of AWL slides and are now buying from larger international manufacturers, for example for the bucaneer bay improvments.

What about that gameshow "Time Masters"

What about for a conversion to an observation tower? now that could be a good use for the ride as it is changing it enough for it not to just be the same old SP.

Could you just move it (the camera) inside the building, or take an onride shot in coastercam.

I think they were working of the assumption that because it is based on the vekoma SLC, it can have zero g rolls.

Well, since WNWSC is starting fresh, the slides would be newer. This new super mammoth falls at WNWGC will probably have some state of the art rides scott. Its not like its really possible to be very unique when it comes to waterparks because there are only a few types of slides and everyone has them anyway, and when manufacturers do bring out new slides they tend to sell pretty quick, take the proslide tornado for example, they have already done like 19 of them and the product has only been out 2 years or so.

What do you mean by zero g rolls being on the wrong coasters?

What was the object of the quicksand game?

Apparently this one is new too (top of page): http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/gallery.php?gid=121

Slick, you cant just use something being old or small as an excuse for not doing a comparison, its like saying its not fair to say that SW is better than Jamberoo just because its bigger. DW and MW are both in competition with each other, so you cant make up for the fact that something may be better than DW by saying something like that its not equal, at the end of the day its still gonna be better isnt it?

I think the conclusion will be easier come september . They seriously need to just bulk up their ride collection a bit to really compete (and beat) hey, im a poet and I didnt know it.

Well, im a firm believer in quality over quantity.

Sorry for the triple post, but by default, the winner is Slick.

Just a reminder, your entry is due in Midnight tonight forum time.

Yeah, that would be cool, but I would rather a Maurer Sohne SC200 (like spinball whizzer at AT) the outward facing back to back seats would give a better view and more open feel, and the SC2000 has a more twisted layout than the Reverchon.

Here is a collection of Rocket coasters for NL v1.5, enjoy.

Yeah, they havent even made the final decision on the park yet. Personally i think WNWGC (Yes, lets all call it that now, the sunshine one can be called WNWSC) should buy the beach slides, sure they may be second hand, but WnW lacks intense slides and it would help suck up visitors.

I thought it all went into the Sewer except of the Gutters which go into the stormwater. Well you learn something new evr.........

I have been wondering, does anyone else think that it could be possible for MW to overtake DW in terms of popularity and as being viewed as a thrill park? IMO I think it could very well happen, in fact, its already happening already, lets look at some comparisons: The loopers: LW v Cyclone: I think LW wins out here, better capacity, more inversions and a more interesting layout and riding position, plus some nice themeing. They both are rough, but MW makes an effort with regular rehabs. Family coasters: Road Runner v Reptar: This one seems to personal opinion for many, but IMO RR wins out with its better themeing and faster speed and more punch than reptar. Wild mouses: SDSC v Eureka: Again, MW wins out, SDSC is much more modern and has better special effects, plus a unique vertical lift and turntable. Most people even go as far to say as this being the best overall package of all Aussie coasters. The launchers: Superman??? v TOT: Nobody can really judge for sure yet, but if current Intamin accelerators are anything to go by, I think MW could win out again, a faster burst of acceleration coupled with a layout with more substance , and better themeing if MWs other rides are anything to go by. TOT may be bigger, but a smaller coaster can still be better than its bigger counterparts. Flumes: WWF v Log Ride: Again, I think MW wins, it is after all the biggest flume in Australia, and has a reverse drop and elaborate themeing that beats DWs ageing log ride. IF MW is serious about beating DW, here is what they could do: Build a river rapids ride, this would bring them into line with DW in this department, it could be built in the Loony Toons village (if space permits, I’m not sure) with an Acme theme like at MW Madrid.(http://www.coasterforce.com/europe/warner_...madrid/acme.php) It would be able to incorporate some of the newer rapid ride technologies to create a better ride than ThRv such as pinball runs, downhill drops, rotators and vertical freefalls, plus a whole bunch of ACME machines squirting water. Build a vertical attraction, obviously it wouldn’t be cost effective to try and beat the height of GD, but they could try another kind of tower attraction that would be novel to the GP, such as a floorless tilting gyro drop like at Movie Park Germany, or a space shot like at MW Madrid. So instead of marketing on the rides height, they could market the other aspects of the ride. The ride could be themed as if you were a stuntman about to do the biggest act of their life, so the pre show could incorporate this. Build some thrill rides, with superhero theme, these could be incorporated with the batman, and the new superman rides. People say that they struggle to get a whole day out of MW, but has anyone really considered that this could be because MW has better capacity than DW, so less of your day is eaten up standing in lines. What does everyone else think? Could MW beat DW? How could MW improve? What other comparisons could you make between their rides and shows?

Yeah, the sewer. Household waste water, whatever you want to call it. I imagine a waterpark would do the same thing, where else would you put the water?

Bus, you do backwash into the sewer, we have a pool so I know what im talking about.

Im fairly certain in years to come there will be a replacment for the attraction, it could showcase newer movie technologies like motion capture for example.

One thing I want to know about WL, why were the space probe freefall cars called "cabins"?
