The New Atlantis - Construction Updates

[RobC]

Was wondering if it may have had a soft opening today, billboard on the M1 just after springwood heading into Brissy was advertising Leviathan with "ride it now". Very excited!

Oh that's good! Because apparently people were going to go, see a massive roller coaster going very fast and very high, and accidentally end up taking small kids on who weren't ready because the website said it was a family ride. 'The website says it's a family ride, so you WILL ride it!' while they whip their kids towards the entrance.

SW is still calling it a family ride with a Max thrill level.

I don't think there's anything wrong with calling it that. I'd call a roller coaster like Space Mountain at Disneyland the same.

[Gazza]

Space mountain is a bit more gentle than your average wooden coaster though.

Yeah my point is people read too much into it. My post was in response to people who were acting like kids would accidentally ride a big thrill based off of a couple words on the website that no one really reads anyway.

 

Still the height requirement is low enough that you will get quite young kids riding it. It will be the first 'big' coaster for many, Max thrill level family coaster is more than appropriate, but it literally doesn't matter.

While that's true, I feel like it kind of misses the whole picture.

I agree.

Not all kids are the same, so as a parent you make that decision on your individual child.  

 

What is a little strange is at

MW they call Scooby      "indoor wild mouse coaster - Moderate thrill level"

SW they call Leviathan    "Family Ride - Max thrill level"

If you go by the way MW do it Leviathan should be called       "Wooden Coaster - Max thrill level"🤷‍♀️

Tbh that’s EXACTLY the kind of persuasive motivation I would have used on my son when he was younger

I mean that's totally not what my dad did with me as a child, even he regrets it now what with all the money I spend on going overseas 🤣

Today is the day, looking forward to reading everyone’s thoughts on the ride, sadly I can’t make it. Enjoy!!

This concept artwork has just appeared on the website.

It’s a shame there aren’t this many palm trees through the area. I get the plants take time to grow. But how good does the precinct look in this concept artwork with all those trees!

Im guessing the Russell Crowe statue is where that planter in the middle is?

Queue moving

[Gazza]

It's actually kind of cool seeing a big deal made out of an opening day!

[Troy81]

Was dissapointing to see that the people who lined up for hours weren't looked after and they opened the 2nd gate at the same time.
