Bussy

Man you need to get away from the carnival rides and have a look whats out there sometime. I have seen a Delirium ride elsewhere in the states and have been on it and it is a very smooth ride and would be a great edition to any park in Australia. "The Bus is now picking up Alfred Moisiu (2002), President of Albania"

Ah Ha now that would be telling now wouldn't it. "The Bus is now leaving for No Guts Captain, Pitcairn Island"

Jaggie we all know who you are, you might not know us but we sure know who you are. Where is the video you took on Sunday? I saw you and your little friend with a video camera and you didn't say hello to the bus driver. Whats with that? The Bus is now leaving for Vanuatu"

Danny who are Scared of Jack and Diane? Are they staff members? And what is their relationship with you? "The Bus is now leaving for Christmaspie, Surrey, England"

Zodiac is very much alive and running (soon anyway). We probably won't noticed much of a change in the asthetics of the ride as most of the work would of been done to the mechanics of the ride. "The Bus is now leaving for Frisby on the Wreake, Leicestershire, England"

When im in the park this weekend I will ask the staff members I know to have a look at their ID's to see what colours they are. "The Bus is now leaving for Rwanda"

Nah Luna Park won't end up like Fox Studio's, why you ask, because when it closes yet again the site will sit idle and not make movies. "The Bus is now leaving for Qatar"

Jack are you on something? Your last three comments are an absolute joke. Great for a laugh anyway. Go see a psycologist. "The Bus is now leaving for Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Alberta, Canada"

Jobes I think Daniel's comment was pretty clearly directed at you considering it had your name in the first few words! No I won't give Luna Park the 'respect it deserves' cause I don't think that it is up to standard as a 'theme park', if you want to call it that. You have even said yourself that: This comment leads me to believe that you think the same about Luna Park as I do, its a permeant Easter Show. By the way where was the personal comment in my previous post? For the life of me I can't see it. As for me being a 5 year old, im going to tell my Mummy on you!! Daniel don't compare me to a domesticated cat please. "The Bus is now picking up Marc Forné Molné (1994) President of Andorra"

Jobe, Jobe Jobester. Looks like your a bit touchy on this subject aren't you? Oh no I left myself open for critisim! Unlike you I can take it. Did I ever say or imply that you disagreed with what I said about the target demographics? Ok tell me what rides Luna Park will be having and what rides next years Easter Show will have. About the only difference between the two is that the Easter Show will have more rides and they are not cemented into the ground. I couldn't be bothered to read the rest of your post so I don't know if there is anything else for me to reply to. BTW my name is wonderbus2003 or Bussy not Wonderbus. "The Bus is now picking up Isaias Afwerki (1993) President of Eritrea"

RIP Tasmanian Devil I was in the park today looking at the Lion Cubs as I was walking away to go on Endeavour I passed Tasmanian Devil and noticed that all the signage had been taken down. I personally think that Tasmanian Devil is gone for good and that as the Lions get bigger they will expand the enclosure to where Tasmanian Devil was. "The Bus is now leaving for Egg, Austria"

Before anyone says that my information is false, have a look here. It also states that Wonderland is valued at around $50 million. I know that the report is from 2000 but the company structure would not of changed much since then. If it has there are probably a few more levels in there. "The Bus is now leaving for Climax, Colorado, USA"

Where did you get this figure for the Beach refurb? I think you have it confused with the 'Cash Splash' promotion that was on earlier this year. If you want an answer to where the money goes just have a look at the Sunway website and the annual report. I got this information from it: Sunway City Berhad is parent company to Sunway Lagoon Sdn Bhd is parent company to Eastern Glory Enterpises is parent company to Estonia Enterprises is parent company to Internation Theme Park is parent company to Sydney Theme Park If thats not a tax rort then I dont know what is, Estonia Enterprises indeed! "The Bus is now leaving for Dhaka, Bangladesh with a population of 8,942,300"

I would think that considering the red train had been off the track for so long that, if anything it would have more 'modifications' than the yellow train. I would say that the red train has all new bearings, axels, wheels etc. so it would probably run faster and smoother then the yellow train at the moment. "The Bus is now leaving for China with a population of 1,286,975,468"

Yes "The Bus is now leaving for Central African Republic"

Yes I had a hand in choosing the colours. Whats wrong with BRIGHT pink, green, blue, orange and some butterbeans? I really like the Dippin Dots store in Goldrush with the pastels of pink and yellow. So be nicthe ok! "The Bus is now leaving for Homosassa, Florida, USA"

How would modifications to the train effect how brakes work? Just beacuse the red train was out of action for ages doesn't mean that the physics of the ride has changed. When a ride closes for annual maintance there is only a limit to what modifications a theme park can do to a ride. Modifications to a ride have to be approved by the manufacturer. Any modifications carried out that are not approved void the manufactures warranty. "The Bus is now leaving for Eighty Eight, Kentucky, USA"

Oh Be Nicthe!! I love the Mardi Gras colour scheme at Lakeside and in Goldrush. As for nothing happening in Australian theme parks this year, what about Dreamworld? Oh yeah thats right nothing new there !!! "The Bus is now leaving for Belize"

Get of my high horse huh? The demographic that Luna Park and Wonderland will be or are aiming for will be completely different from each other. So the crowds for Wonderland will not be reduced. Tell me this: If Wonderland's crowds have diminshed over the last few years, which everyone seems to think, were the crowds smaller when Luna Park was open previously? With a major roller coaster I might add. Yes Luna Park will be novelty but as with all new toys the novelty wears off after a while and you go back to what your used to. Ok now on to the last post. Yes I will and do give Luna Park the respect it deserves. Luna Park will be different from Wonderland, in as much as it had it's hey-day in the 1930's and has long lost it's appeal to the majority of young people in Sydney. This is partially beacuse of the fact that there are no major thrill rides which, lets face it, is what everyone on this forum loves so much. As for my comments being 'uninformed' you have no idea who I am, what I do or my background. Just beacuse you dont agree with my comments doesn't mean that it's 'uninformed'. "The Bus is now leaving for "Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Ayuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Piman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit", the poetic name of Bangkok, Thailand"

Don't hold your breath for anything special at the Action Arena. The only thing this 'show' will do is provide a HUGE headache for the train drivers, where the stage area is, is facing the path between Dragon's Flight and Action Arena so when the show is on the pathway will be blocked. As for having an unloader at Bush Beast, a operator told me that the unloader was there beacuse there was a possibilty of two trains operating over the weekend. Was anyone there on Sunday after it opened? I hung around for about an hour and it was busy. Did they bring out the yellow train? "The Bus is now leaving for Kyrgyzstan"

You would hope the brakes worked every time wouldn't you!! "The Bus is now leaving for Burkina Faso"

I decided to make an effort. Pictures and info can be found here: here, here and here Enjoy. "The Bus is now leaving for Pis Pis River, Nicaragua"

I just found this description of a Vegas ride. At 866 feet, X Scream is the world's third highest thrill ride. shaped like a giant teeter-totter, X Scream is an open vehicle that propels riders head-first 27 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere Tower at 30 miles per hour and then dangles them weightlessly above the Strip. Anyone got any pictures of this in action? Im sure they are out there but I couldn't be bothered to find them at the moment. "The Bus is now leaving for Mianus, Connecticut, USA"

6 months!! It only feels like a week ago since I saw you there last. As for being able to bite my bum, i've been trying for years but to no avail! I've tried studying my cat and dog but I am yet to get the technique right, could you give me some pointers on how to do it? Go away in liquid form? Will lava do? Im watching Dante's Peak at the moment so thats where i got that idea from. "The Bus is now leaving for Innaloo (suburb of Perth)"

Damm! Are you stupid or something? Do you have any memory of when you worked there? On your immediate right when you enter Transylvania is a fence which goes around to Lakeside, the first bit of the fence is where the billboard is. So NO you dont have to walk around it to get to Lakeside and no you cant walk underneath it. "The Bus is now leaving for Arsoli, Lazio, Italy"
