^Exactly Hugh, ticket prices would have to rise if they were a single park, and that would suck for people that only want to visit the waterpark for example. that and the fact the parks are very far apart, i think from memory its about 1km from WWF to the extreme H20 zone. They are both full day attractions (John Menzies said this himself in an interview) so we wont ever see them become the same park. Though the thought of firing someone for the decision to do this sounds a bit stupid, i mean it would have been aproved by the board, and at the end of the day they would most likely have had more thought put into the decision than the opinion of a forum poster who heard of this news one day ago. These guys have detailed info on who visits and market trends, so i reckon the pointers would have had to have been pretty strong for them to abandon building it at SW. Nah, no need, rides are built to be waterproof since they operate outdoors and in rain. Plus the seats are plastic. But I think it is sort of the right direction to become a sort of activities park, i could imagine them putting in a few extreme experience things (sky swing, bungee for example, i cant think of any others) WnW are sort of in a postion where there arent a lot of other attractions they can add to their lineup (They would be duplicating WWW with the few avaliable options) so perhaps diversifying is the way to go. And hey, if DW can put a flowrider water park ride in, then WnW can put in a surf rider* *An Ride Trade surf rider is the product they are recieving, so lets all stop calling it a halfpipe.

Huh? so did you get to skip the whole line just because you had friends at the front? LOL i thought that was a theme park no no.

Saying you get into MW free because you have a yearly pass is a bit like me saying the food at Pizza Hut is free when you get the dinner works deal. Plus tons of people here have yearly passes but they dont all brag that they get in for free.

...... So yeah, everyone can stop spazzing because the person who filmed it lives thousands of kilometers away and would probably have never seen this site.

In 1988 one incident was about someone standing up, and the other was about chewing gum, which are just random events. In 1983 the first incident someone died without any details given, and in the second case the childs head "struck an object", it was not "struck by an object". So in other words it was a fixed object, it could have been a part of the ride structure for example. Dunno what point you are trying to make, but it didn't change my mind People are too paranoid these days.

Well the World Pass obviously, no offence but doing a little bit of research yourself on the parks website goes a long way (and is faster than waiting 5 days) rather than devoting a whole topic to your decision and then double posting/badgering when others are unwilling to spoon feed you the information. I mean, there are 3 ticket types on the website so its not like its an overwhelming choice, but since im nice i'll talk you through them all: -1 Day General Admission $42 NO This ones no good because it wont get your cousins into DW, and that would suck. -Aqua Max Annual Pass $125 NO While being able to go to WWW every day for a year would be cool, if you are going once off with your cousins its not really needed. Again this ticket wont get your cousins into DW so its no good. -2 Day World Pass $99 BINGO This one gets you into DW and WWW so your halfway there.And with a marketing line like this you cant go past it: Source: http://www.whitewaterworld.com.au/content/...W_PricesDetails

LOL, what a stupid assertion for them to make, pools everywhere are heated and arent all breeding grounds for bacteria. Ideally their filtration system should be adequate so that bacteria is removed quickly and no breeding can take place. If anything, they might be shying away from heating due to the costs.

Inclusive means the ride would most likely have been shut today, unless they managed to get it all done a day early. Perhaps tommorow someone in the know can tell us what has changed (These new features....)

Nah, i think its just the fact that smoke tends to show up quite poorly on videos for some reason (I mean these videos are shot with camera phones and as such do a pretty bad job at recording fine things like smoke) Either that or they have played around with the timing on when the smoke is fired. But for starters, I dont think it is that risky since the people who decide to do this sort of stuff would be being cautious in the first place trying to conceal the camera, and then trying to keep hold of it. Somehow I cant imagine people being that careless with an expensive phone. Even if it did find its way loose the only place it could realistically hit a bystander would be on the second big turn (And if the shade sails are still there that means the only real spot to hit someone is the path to LW), and since the phone is moving at the same speed as the riders it wouldnt be hitting others riders that fast anyway. And as for the person who filmed it, well the name of the video is Montanha Russa do Superman which is Portugese (And the profile of the filmer says he is from Brazil) so it isnt someone from here. I agree. I guess you sort of have to protect from all the other bogans who would try to film. If filming was allowed you would be "opening the floodgates". What would stop a 5 year old fiming? or someone who hasnt ridden and doesnt know when to brace? I would also imagine insurance premiums would be higher for the park if they had an open policy. Personally i think the best approach is to allow people to do it with the right equipment (such as those cameras where you just hold the lens) and permission from guest services.

I dont think they would take the full scale prototype approach, in effect its just a new train design, and I would imagine the underside of the train would be left the same. I mean the current Accelerator has had a few train designs already, and they haven't had to do an entire assembly and dissasembly to go along with it.

*on topic* Nah, no info has been released yet, but I would allow for anywhere between September and the end of the year.

Nah, none have been built yet (At least not in a well known place). You will be happy to know however that Jamberoo has one in their master plans.

The billboards are in Soaked too though. IMO I'd rather have soaked as I quite enjoy just building waterparks without coasters or flatrides, and the slide lineup may be small, but it pretty much covers the main types (racers being the exception) so you can build whatever you like really.

If it was it would have been posted.... Edit: I was going to post my MW but the uploading system isnt working for me. 2nd Edit: Still not working, so i put it here instead: http://putstuff.putfile.com/44298/6102879

I can work out how to change my personal picture (Click on the settings tab and it is there at the top) but where do you go to change your Avatar?

Perhaps "getting stuck" isn't the best choice of words, maybe people could say "I stopped in the BRO" and we can avoid people thinking it was like Homer Simpson at Mt Splashmore.

Thats where "The temple of form" is useful, just put the cursor over the icon of the game you dont understand and instructions scroll across the bottom of the screen. But IMO most of the games are intuitive enough to work out pretty easily.

Ah yes, I got that too, its basically a must have for the Wii. For those who dont know, Wario Ware is this odd game where you are given quick 4 second microgmes, with a break of roughly the same in between. Its sort of something you need to play for yourself to really understand. But basically in the break between games the position you need to hold the controller in is flashed up, examples include "The Dumbell", "The Remote Control" and "The Handlebar" which are all pretty self explaintory, but there are some odd ones, like "The Mohawk" where you hold the controller on your head, "The Elephant" where you hold it up near your nose and "The Discard" where you have to set the controller down on a flat surface. Next the game appears with a curt instruction that flashes up telling you what to do, such as "Dont Drop", "Sort", "Punch" or "Collect 2". But the fun part is actually manipulating the controller to try and do each microgame in the 4 second limit, for example using "the handlebar" you have to try and spin the controller around in 3D so the barcode of a grocery gets read by a scanner, using "the mohawk" you physically jump in the air to header a soccer ball or by using "the remote control" you wave it around to shoo away pests. I have quite enjoyed it, its quite fun because the game speeds up making it even more frantic to play and simply trying to win as many microgames in a row without losing all 4 chances gives it pretty good replay value.

OK, lets end this debate once and for all. Going from the manufacturers website the diameter of the slide is 32 inches, or 81 cm wide. I did a quick measurement of a doorway in my house for comparisons sake and the width of that is 85cm. So unless you are some sort of sumo wrestler you wont have much of a problem, and IMO all these people who say they are getting stuck sort of remind me of the people who say things like "My brothers arm hit a support on Lethal Weapon and he fractured it" and "Once i was riding Wipeout and the guy next to me fell out". There is a chance your mat could stop due to friction, but that is unlikely since the mats would be designed to work properly, and in any case the buildup of water would quickly get you going again. So Lanna, you have nothing to worry about, have fun! (Oh, and BTW the BRO is at WWW so this thread doesnt belong here in the Wet 'n' Wild forum, I can see it was an honest mistake)

Ah cool, I quite like this enhanced fast reply and quick edit, it basically means you dont need full mode for much, especially since you can do attachments here. The user profiles are nice too, I had a look at your other site and felt left out at not having all those extra features here but now they are. Thanks for all this. One other thing I might point out while you are playing aroud with the forums, but perhaps the White Water World forum description could be updated since the park is open now.

On the Rip though to get the most rotations it would actually make more sense to lean inward. Its a bit like when you are on a spinny thing in a playground, you keep towards the middle to make it spin fast, but hang off the side to slow it down. By keeping the center of gravity close to the middle rotations take less force.

I probably wont get one because it doesnt interest me, but I personally dont see it as a rip off, I mean its pretty high end and getting a PC box alone that could do the same things would be much more expensive. IMO it would have to be bad value for money to be a rip off, and just because something costs a lot does not constitute being rip off. If you were after a sort of media center for your lounge it could be a viable option, but I wouldnt spend that sort of money soley for the games it has. Ill stick to my Wii for now and wait a while for super duo players to become cheaper (At least that way it doesnt matter if one of the high def disc formats fail)

But dont you come up to the GC a few times a year anyway? Its a bugger you cant ride it now, but it would be going next time so you can look foward to that. I know how you feel though, when I was up this time last year I was expecting Extreme H20 zone to be open but as we all know they were slow getting it ready. At least WWW is open, and err, a big observation wheel.

Solution:

Well, its not bad, but its nothing special. Anyway, there is a whole thread already on wether people feel the need for the theming to be improved, or wether it is fine as it is, so the answer to your question lies there
