Vortex should be moved to Movie World to replace Doomsday. Vortex's location at Sea World should be used instead for a Ferris wheel for scenic views of the dolphin pools, ski lake, as well as providing a visual weenie for guests entering the park. To further this, SW has no need of 140cm filler, and Trident even if worked would not provide enough capacity for the family crowd. A thrill ride next to dolphin pools, while not cruel, is not a good 'look' Doomsday is MW's biscuit, and needs to go. Vortex could actually add needed capacity that is unused at SW. Comment, and tell me I'm wrong. I dare you.

Major works are happening on the Sandy Shores Lagoon at Sea World. The pathway is closed, the fencing has been removed, the walkways for staff have been removed and a lot of digging along the shore is happening. And the Dolphins meeting area is fenced off too. -
Just got an email about changes to memberships. price is DOUBLING per month and fright nights access has been removed what the actual f**k

Thought this would be interesting. 7NEWS did a report tonight how Sea World does their safety checks on Leviathan. https://www.facebook.com/7NEWSBrisbane/videos/161828793507319 Some information to unpack there: Leviathan is the most high tech ride at the park Daily track inspections take around 5 hours and start from dawn Processes “are similar to what you would see in the aviation industry” 3 cycles are done to check speed etc. The data from the tests are sent to the engineers to determine if the ride is safe

This is the second last coaster poll, and I am doing these so one can be counted. Vote by Thursday. -
Because these are the only wooden coasters in Australia (Wild Mouse is also but it has been in a poll) we will be comparing Leviathan to Scenic Railway. Please have votes in by Monday.

Hello everyone! I am planning to go to the Gold Coast in 2023. I come from Bendigo, Victoria so cannot go often. This is my third time going to the GC parks, me going before in March 2015 and August 2022. However, I am planning to go again in 2023. The question is, when? I don't want to go before June (dont want to risk SE/DD/BS/DCR/WWF being closed) and will be willing to drop Scooby as it is closed. I also cannot go during September because I am going to Thailand. I am also going with another person who doesn't want to go during November and December due to the heat. So it leaves July, August and October. I am hoping to go in the latter as most rides are open as well as Fright Nights. Could you give me some suggestions? Thanks.

Time to do something different: We will be comparing Storm Coaster to the log flumes as I feel like Storm cannot be compared with anything else. Put your votes in by Tuesday.
-
This time we will be doing two polls. Also due to the WoO Boomerang not being open, you can compare it to POVs of Tweestyrd as well as the theming on the concept art. Vote by Saturday.

Thought I would start this up for fun. Each Saturday I list two rides from two different parks, and people vote what is best. Voting will close on Thursdays, and on Fridays the results are revealed. One ride is saved and one is turned into paperclips. For example, it could be Superman Escape v Steel Taipan one week. If ST wins it would be added to the list while Superman would be removed. Clones will be counted as one choice, not two. Also you do not need to have ridden the coaster to vote, but it would be good if you have. Let's start off with... TNT (Gumbuya World) vs. Kenny's Forest Flier (Dreamworld) In my opinion I would pick TNT. It is actually really fun and intense for a family coaster and I am glad Movie World is getting a clone. Also it goes fast the whole length of the ride while KFF seems to go slow in the second half. Remember to put results in by Thursday.

Hi all, just after some advice for my upcoming gold coast trip. As I'm only there for 4 days, I'm looking at getting a 3 park 3 day village pass. Dreamworld, to me, seems like a bit of a waste of a day with GD down and my only real interest being ST. ideally I'd obviously stay a bit longer, but work commitments unfortunately hindered my ability to do so. This is My first time on the Gold Coast as an adult, so any tips or advice you guys can give me (where to eat, rides to hit first etc.) will be greatly appreciated. The trip in Question is occuring 30 Jan - 2 Feb.

This was just mentioned on the radio over 100 people in the group coming.

Two helicopters are understood to have collided and crashed in the Broadwater near Sea World theme park on the Gold Coast. Emergency services are rushing to a “major incident” on the Broadwater which occurred around 2pm. A Queensland Police Service spokesman confirmed several crews had been called to an “aviation incident” near SeaWorld just after 2pm Monday. “We’ve been called to a reported helicopter collision near (SeaWorld) in the past 10 to 15 minutes,” he said. Helicopter pilot Scott Menzies was flying over the Broadwater at 2.15pm and said the scene “didn’t look good. “I don’t know what has happened but it doesn’t look good,” he told the Bulletin. “Emergency services are there now.” Queensland Ambulance Service said multiple crews were on scene. “Multiple QAS resources and other emergency services are on the scene of a major incident involving two helicopters at 1.59pm,” they said. “No further details at this time.” Witnesses said they had seen two helicopters collide. “Just witnessed two helicopters crash into each other at SeaWorld,” Dang Nguyen said. Julie Gill said she had “witnessed two helicopters crash”.

Imagine you woke up with $100 million and you had to spend the money to change an Aussie theme park of your choice. Which park would it be and what would you do? Please try and be somewhat realistic -
I remember seeing the old seaworld train sitting in a old station on a small portion of track. In fact I remember seeing lots of disused track around the park. But that was probably 6 / 7 years ago and I only thought of it last time I visited seaworld and I just wanted to see if anyone knows it’s whereabouts or where you can still see some relics of the seaworld railway around the park. And is that station still standing? If not where was it?

Carnivale is back at Sea World on select nights in January and February. The event appears to be much the same as this years and might even be a simpler version as there doesn’t seem to be many extras available this year. The big marketing aspect for this event is the opening of the New Atlantis.

I know there's a test seat (Thank you Sea World. I think all coasters should have one) but how have bigger riders found Leviathan so far? I'm right on the limit for Storm Coaster but can fit on there, does anyone think I'll have an issue for Leviathan? How forgiving are the restraints and which other rides are they similar to?
-
An app called ‘Ride Forces’. Also, Levi’s thrown a fault and is currently completely down, after already intermittent operation yesterday (wasn’t under operation for a large portion of the day, and around 30+% of trains sent were empty from what I saw. Supposedly was only due to wind yesterday, but with the actual faults today I don’t buy it), and further intermittent one-train operation today. I was on the last train of yesterday, the ride threw a fault then and we were gonna get evac’d, but they eventually got the second train to dispatch and we were able to slowly roll into the station and unload. Something’s definitely wrong. I’ll wait in the queue and update when there is one ig.

Todays the today! The New Atlantis officially opens. This is the place to share your thoughts, comments, feedback and photos of the new precinct at Sea World.

The Trident is supposed to officially open today, but with expected to reach over 50km/h, will the attraction operate? Im sure the manufacturer designs and builds the ride so the seats don’t swing uncontrollably, but does anyone know what the wind speed limit would be on this type of attraction?

The GCCC has just finished the newest city-wide flood map based on the latest modelling. The map will be reviewed by the QLD gov in 2023 as part of the proposed Designing for Major Update to the City Plan. Once in, the updated town plan will have a say in what the parks can do. RISK CATEGORY DESCRIPTION Maximum regional flood extent Only floods in very rare to extreme flood events. Extent of the floodplain associated with very rare events and can include hazard of any type (low or high). Low risk Relatively lower hazards in frequent to infrequent flood events. High hazards can only occur in rare and very rare flood events, when it is unsafe for people and vehicles and buildings can be subject to structural failure. Medium risk Unsafe for people and vehicles, and buildings are subject structural failure in rare flood events. Flood events can either be rare with high hazard or relatively frequent with lower hazard. High risk Unsafe for people and vehicles, and buildings are subject to failure in frequent flood events. Flood events are both relatively frequent and usually of high hazard. Very high risk Unsafe for people and vehicles, and buildings are subject to structural failure in frequent floods. Flood events are both frequent and usually of the highest hazard. Dreamworld Moive World Sea World Flood risk awareness map (arcgis.com)- 4 replies

Photo from random Facebook user. "Great ride, unfortunately not been running all day today. Was advised by staff this one got stuck on this mornings test run." (24.10.2022) @Dean Barnettit was windy.😵

If this isn't the best idea for Seaworld's next coaster - I have no idea what is.

Hi everyone. I was just curious to know if anyone knows the max capacity’s of the Gold Coast parks in a given day. Thanks
