Gold Coaster

yep.

yeah it's a brilliant game. I've played all the Warioware games and this is the only one that has surpassed the original. Uses the Wii's capabilities brilliantly.

WhiteWater World. Less rides but much better ones, basically.

Yep. It's only temporary. Bad news though - it is only going until about mid-year, sorry.

RRP of $69.95. Soaked! - obviously, waterslides (including Tornado... except you don't have the cloverleafs) and water rides (including Rollersoaker), pools, laser light/water shows, dolphin and killer whale shows, two new themes - Atlantis and Paradise Island, new entertainer - Shark costume, new challenges, passport stations, speaker objects, waterfall tool, tunnel tool Wild! - animal exhibitions/houses/enclosures/animal keeper/viewing galleries - lion/tiger shows - safari expeditions - elephant rides - 12 Wild! scenarios - two new themes - heaps of new flat rides/coasters - mouse wheel support - billboards of various sizes you can assign any image to, DartCam (where you hit escaping animals with tranquiliser darts from a helicopter), animal breeding. Some of the new rides include the splitting coaster where the track splits with each having its own independent coaster train and a robocoaster where a robotic arm with seats on runs parallel to a Wild mouse style track , a dizzy dropper coaster which runs on a sideways track, etc. So you're definitely getting value.

Anything'd beat Cyclone's ride experience.

And at least you can do Nightmares while that's still going.

Mmm. Quite ridiculous. I'll wait until next year sometime before buying my PS3 since I'll need to save my money for those Theme Park Review trips/other travels this year. Extremely happy with my Wii in the meantime.

My first thought when I heard about Batwing being shutdown for that period was that you won't get to ride it now. I'm so pissed off for you James. You'll just have to come back up again soon. At least Superman will be running now. Maybe we could rig up a portaloo like in those Japanese clips so you could experience some small part of the sensation. We could even paint it black with the Bat symbol on it.

^ Platinum contains the original game plus both expansions. So it's really great value! No additional items though.

Wow, you should be a gymnast or something.

I've NEVER had a problem going barefoot at Wet'n'Wild and the soles of my feet aren't leathery.

How tall are you anyway? I'm 6'5-6'6.

Ok well, let's do the meet up then. Who has to work? Those who don't, do you want to hit Whitewater World earlier in the day and then do Screamworld? As do I. SHOTGUN! Want to get some bugs in my teeth in readiness for riding that Motorcycle Accelerator.

Just two remotes and 1 Classic Controller here. My bedroom's not really big enough to accomodate more than 2 players comfortably - the computer desk is really wide so I have to put the TV in the corner at the end of my bed.

Mario Kart 64 was released today, the second Nintendo 64 game released. Costs the usual 1000 points. HEAPS of fun. I've never actually played it before outside of a brief play session in Myers back in the day.

WWW have the DW pizzas there though. I really like those.

I haven't done any parks in midwest USA/Europe (that's what this year is for) yet so this is based off the Anaheim area, Orlando and the Gold Coast. Note that in Orlando I only did the Disney parks and the Universal ones and in Anaheim I have not yet done Magic Mountain or Knott's. -TOP 10- 1. Duelling Dragons - Universal Islands of Adventure, Orlando Two unique layouts to choose from, near misses, awesome theming 2. The Incredible Hulk - Universal Islands of Adventure, Orlando Great landscaping and elements, theming, proximity to water and spectators 3. Aerosmith Rock'n'Rollercoaster - Disney-MGM Studios, Orlando Theming, the indoor/dark aspect, the launch, speaker-equipped coaster trains 4. California Screamin' - Disney California Adventures, Anaheim Looping around the Mickey ears, old-fashioned look, proximity to water, fun layout 5. Big Thunder Mountain Railway - Magic Kingdom/Disneyland Runaway train theming, landscape, fun layout, right level of roughness 6. Superman Escape - Movie World Total entertainment experience from the pre-launch through to the brake run - lower on the list due to its short ride time 7. Revenge of the Mummy - Universal Studios, Orlando Fantastic effects and sensations, lower on the list due to slighty shorter than expected ride time (guess it flies when you're having fun) 8. Space Mountain - Magic Kingdom/Disneyland Fun theming though want to do superior Paris version instead. Seemed kind of rundown and I had built it up in my head to be something really special but felt a bit let down. 9. Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster - Movie World Great Mouse/dark ride combination, trippy laser room 10. Runaway Reptar - Dreamworld Fun family coaster that actually has the right comfort-roughness mix

I'll ring and ask about Nightmares. Not sure how much limo will be but can do some ringing around. I really do think a meetup would be fantastic and help this Screamworld stand out much more from the others.

No, it's just generic backgrounds/zany tracks - no real rides.

I've bought it for my 3/LG phone. Awesome game. Sooo fun. France is very very tricky.

Hey, why don't we all meet up on the night? Basically, it's Ocean Parade, Nick Central, Giant Drop and Tower of Terror that operate. Not sure about Nightmares since this is the first Screamworld since its opening. For getting back to the GC, you could always hop in a taxi to Coomera Railway Station, catch a train to Nerang then get the Trainlink bus back to Surfers.

Which is fair enough. We're already saving heaps of money on admission for regular days and it does state in the Terms and Conditions that special events are at the normal rate. $40 isn't too bad anyway.

So get a few rides in before then!

I'm kind of sick of Screamworld though I'll come for the final of the Flowriding Titles and I guess they might do extra theming with Nightmares -- so that could be good to see. Do also want to meet you James.
