The New Atlantis - Reviews & Reactions

[Dean Barnett]

It’s gone national 

[Guest 239]

Their social media comments say its closed for the week, the news is reporting its closed today, the rides have been taken off the maintenance schedule with tags saying they're open, but Trident still says 'closed due to high winds' on its landing page whilst the websites homepage says 'Ride It Now' for Leviathan.

So how much money, talks of safety and this has duct tape on it still ? I find this very funny but questionable. For example in weather could start deteriorating and cause a hazardous situation.

Is that duct tape though? 

What I can see are the pads attached to beams that are in proximity to the train, which are fastened on the back with fairly wide straps. That's what I can see here, not duct tape.

When you can't get the new one to work you tear it down and go old school.

Well if it quacks like a duck.. no it looks like a strap but it is not consistently elsewhere . Appears temporary  and should have been removed prior to opening .

Time will tell if it disappears…

Are you talking about the pad attached to the structure? There are multiple of them on the ride in areas the train comes close to the support structure. Temporary? No. Should it be removed? No.

[Rivals]

did no one else notice the pad going up the lift hill? I’m guessing the pads are placed where the train comes too close and they are there just incase someone has their hands up and hits it.

Probably installed to protect workers or people being evacuated from the ride from cutting their head open.

Stupid use of that saying. 

it doesn’t look like duct date, it doesn’t function as duct tape, so it’s not duct tape.

 

it’s also not temporary and shouldn’t be removed

If this is the issue.. this will take months to fix.

It's not the issue.

I wish they would just tell us then... Busch was very open with their clearance issues (found during their soft opening)

What clearance issues does Lev have?

Definitely not there for a “just in case” someone puts their hands up.

There should be no section of the ride envelope that comes into contact with anyone at any time.

He's not saying it does, he's saying that Busch were quick to act, and transparent about the issues were that tainted Iron Gwazi (clearance issues on the wave turn), and he wishes that Sea World did the same for Levi. 

Edit: Good news, they've updated the main website for New Atlantis. Bad news, all they've done is remove the part about Trident being closed for winds, meaning (according to the main page), all 3 rides are open.

The fact the closure isn't listed on the attraction page - you have to click through to the "Attraction Maintenance Schedule" is a huge L

Isn't that what the maintenance page is for @Dean Barnett?

If I'm a GP I don't even know that page exists. 

If I were Seaworld I'd put it in this obtrustive bit

That doesn't surprise me.  As a theme park enthusiast, you seem to have a problem getting your head around a lot of things.

 

 

[Dean Barnett]

Ok yeah sure definately worth throwing some personal insults around. 

[New display name]

How many GP have told you they don't know what a maintenance page is for?

0

 

 

[Dean Barnett]

There's about 4 different groups in the media that have entered the park not knowing that the attractions are closed.

 

Seaworld are not doing a good job here.

[Naazon]

I saw someone driving the wrong way down a one way street. Some people can't be helped dude.

But reversing is ok.

Just to clarify, these are in many places around the attraction. They're very clearly in parts you "might" be able to reach if you were outside "normal" dimensions. One of the banked turns deep within the structure (visible when you're sitting on the brake run) has these on all the angled overhead braces. 

It could just be out of an abundance of caution.
