LOL yeah, they are associated with another thing........

Slick, youy have lots of DW contacts, just tell them about here, and also, people who go to DW often could buy RC.com.au and wear them, it would market this site and people would know that you like coasters (in the same way people who go around wearing Holden caps like Holdens.

I didnt nkow you could post without registering, so if you wanted to say something anonymous you could just not log in. Edit: this post is old and no it didn't go ahead.

Cool, Im raiding the stock cage at work

Problem with that is the extra elements would have to be equally as big which would make costs sky high. An airtime hill in that long and low shape would be optomised for a long period of airtime, you might find you would be floating for quite a few seconds.

Maybe some rides could have signs or videos in the queue showig how loading works, this could help maybe.

didnt some of the big slides get moved to puzzle park in Murray Bridge, I used to live there and the slides were MASSIVE.

Cool, thanks, I needed that info for a TOT recreation in NL, but since you have more experience with the ride you will probably end up making a better one. As for TOT costing $16 million, well, for just $2 million dollars more you could get a floorless the size of hydra (7 inversions), which would have a ride duration 6 times as long as the TOT and a total train capacity four times more than TOT.

I have got some questions about GD and TOT What did TOT cost? What did GD cost? What is the lenght of the launch not incuding the station or the slope to vertical? What is the radius of the slope to vertical? What is the length of the station? How fast are you launched from the station? How strong are the acceleration Gs on the launch? How long is the extra track at the back of the station? If anyone can provide this data it would be great.

Cool, thanks, and welcome, but there was already a post about this in the international parks forum.

Dont you mean the rampage? He also made the same joke about no coins falling out. And I remember pete making the same joke about WnW and DW merging to make Wet DW when he went through the old BB house on a bobcat a while back.

Find the file, right click on it and pick add to zip, then follow the steps and the zip file will be saved in the same folder, then, when making the post go to the upload button, navigate to the file and hit upload, but you have to have win zip on your computer.

I think I have some photos of it, my mum went there ages ago and there are some pics, Ill have a look and post em up.

Geeeeeeeze, That will be on nuto coaster, and the airtime on the bunny hill wil be insane, but I hope it doesnt have the cable snapping problems of the other rockets, maybe intamin should do some research into carbon nanotubes This looks set to be one of the most popular types of new coasters, thier 5th one and I have heard of more to come (Thorpe park and blackpool)

And what about the handles on the restraints, someone may not have washed their hands before riding, gah, germs everywhere. Dont be so scared everyone, as long as the people sit on something and they wash it you will be fine, and anyway, you are wearning pants when you ride it normally (I hope you do anyway)

I rember thinking bermuda was really cool, but that was back when i was last at SW, when I was in year 6. I even have an onride photo, I guess I was easier to impress back then, but i did think the spaceship thing was really cool, also the final drop where the fire is was quite cool, it did feel really hot. The first time I rode I got a bit of a fright from the colapsing roof at the start, but i turned around and saw it just move back up into position, quite funny at the time. Does anyone else think the part where you go through the fog smells like a dairy factory?

You have used a toilet at DW, lots of people use them. I imagine they will clean the seats off.

Prehaps they could do what IOA did and provide 1 hr smart lockers free of charge, except you would actually provide enough to go around.

Willsy, just about every easily transportable ride has been taken from WL, all that remains are big rides taht wouldnt fit well at LPS.

Slick, I dont think anyone would really be impressed if they were handed a wad of computer paper full of complaints, they would probably just think you'd had a field day in word writing various comlpaints signed off by different names. They might also think that it was just a bandwangon of PMs sent. It would be better if people wrote their own words and opions and sent them of themeselves becuase they would take them more seriously than something a 15 year old has just given. I have never experienced a 3 hr wait before, whats it like, and what do you do, I think I would rather skip it than wait the equivalent of a short shift at work. Also, if you are looking to "bump into" one of the memeber of managment, where would you be most likely to find them (not including the offices, i meant out and about in the park)

Why, you have never said anything bad about SW, and most people have have a high opinion of SW, I think you are safe.

Are you an Automotive Club member (eg RACV, RACQ, NRMA)? they can give you discounted entry, also, I think you can get a discount if you buy them in advance, but dont hold me to that. I remeber last year when I went to WL they had this number you could call to get half pice tickets, so our whole family got in for $100, but thats a bit irrelevant.

I remeber driving past that place on the way home from Sydney. As for Pacman, well you might say it has retro appeal these days.

I would guess that the ride is an upcharge attraction, I do know riders can program their own sequence so I dont think it would be one of the main thrill rides, its a bit like one of those bungee rocket things or maybe a skycoaster, they only hold 2 people and are an upcharge thing

Yeah, but I think a lot of people have had a bad experience with some of DWs problems, me included. I also agree about there not being any 2 minute emails, write something proper and not unconstructive critisism. And anyway Rich, you wrote a whole article about the capacity issuses of DW and put it on the website, and it seems to not have done any damage.
