Then he's going to build a wall on both sides of the country so they can't come back, and make the whales pay for it to be put up.

^ Thanks for clearing up the difference. Must just be a mistake on the map then, pretty sure Lotte World's would be a multi mover the way it spins to each screen. I doubt the company that makes it would have it on the brochure anyway.

^Yep, on Lotte Worlds you could see the line (the website says it uses a guide wire) all the cars were following in the middle of the road but that doesn't seem to be the case here, although I'm not quite sure what the advantage is overall when they follow a set linear path without dead-ends or junctions like this or Dragons Shooting, does anyone know what the advantages are? Is it just a case of no track meaning less maintenance costs overall? I didn't even notice when I rode Dragons Shooting for the first time that it was trackless. Edit: Now I'm curious, does anyone know the difference between EMF's Mystic Mover and Multi Mover? The site lists Dragons Shooting as a Mystic Mover but that's clearly Lotte Worlds ride on the product page and brochure for Multi Mover.

Or being a teacher in Asia, where the only 2 weeks you are allowed off for holidays a year is the same 2 weeks a year: Christmas/new year week and end of July/start of August when not only is that the week when most of Asia will be off for family vacations (due to said school closure) and tickets so very expensive, but most parks worldwide are packed then.

Not every ride model is going to be a winner for any company. I've always wanted to see a park version of the inferno somewhere.

I think you're right, it looks almost identical to the system used on Dragons Shooting at Lotte World which is also an ETF Multi Mover. Although this one has a lot more to it than Lotte World's.

^ Hopefully if enough people bring it up during alpha, they will change it for heights and generic options, really want to try this when I have some spare change, will probably buy Cities first and then after that will put a little away for the early bird and maybe try it next month or May.

I know for a fact the ride manufacturer sets the height restrictions. You are right that a park *could* negotiate with them to create a solution for a lower height restriction, but it's up to the ride manufacturer to decide if that's something they are willing to do or not. Hopefully not going too much off topic but this is why I've always thought (as an opinion, before the pitchforks come out) there's never been another Aqua Trax. The height restriction that was set for it was 135cm, only a little bit lower than the biggest of B&M's and 13cm higher than Cheetah Hunt. It could be a case of Lotte World deciding that, but Galaxy Express 999 in Tokyo had similar restraints and was 130cm. After the launch and top hat, I've never found Atlantis too thrilling.... it's an insane amount of fun and it's really high on my list but generally because of the amount of fun it is, not because of insane airtime or inversions or G forces which makes it a shame you can't take smaller kids onto it especially when it's advertised as "family thrill type roller coaster." Considering the description on Intamin's site make it seem like it couldn't be a true water coaster either (water effects over actual water and Atlantis can't even run in the rain) and looking into why Lotte World hasn't had the water on in years, it seems it's only there for visual effect to create a "wave" and doesn't add to the ride. It just seems like high height restrictions can be a rides undoing. For that height limit there are so many other options in a space an aquatrax could go, or provide something similar but include people unter the 53" height limit with a cheaper price tag.

So.... they made Atlantis the reservation only ride now.... not sure how I feel about this, I really hope it has a lot more allocated tickets since it was sold out pretty much at park opening last time I visited, and unlike T Express's reservation only which ends at 3PM giving you a chance to join the queue, this one runs until closing. I will check the app periodically at work tomorrow and see when it sells out on a quiet weekday. Thankfully it seems this trial will end in 3 weeks before they move on to the next attraction, If you're going on a weekend before then.... good luck!

Seems all that extra training and more visual checks around the track have some holes if this camera was missed on the very first train out: https://twitter.com/emmajim1/status/711143462314360833

Which is just ridiculous, Aquatrax's are a myth. They don't exist in the real world.... I've been checking for 6 years now for you guys and the last sighting was way back in August 2010, since then there has only been Trax.

I'd say many people would argue that it is a lot considering even up to the big coaster height restrictions that's what can make or break a day out for kids when being denied something. For parks in the UK like Alton Towers 4" at that height is the difference between being allowed a very tiny coaster (in an area of the park themed around a channel known for very young kids programming) and a powered mine train to at least being able to go on the "scary" Thirteen or a spinning coaster. It can really make or break a small younger child's day out. I mean the 46" height restriction gets you on the arrow looper here in Korea and that's only 5 inches less (sorry I'm used to cm and the coasters here and the U.K. tend to go up by 10cm each time) than T Express one of the steepest, ejector air time filled, non RMC wooden coasters out there. So again that 4"-5" jump is a lot.

It says area under development on the map where it used to be. With AT's flume removed for SW8, I'm curious if they have similar plans for both flume ride sites.

The new area will be called Panda World according to the new mini-site that went live: http://www.everland.com/pandaworld/ The area will feature Pandas, Red Pandas and Golden Monkeys. Also a cafe and gift shop filled with panda themed gifts and food. Speaking of Pandas, looks like either a new night show with the fireworks or a new musical in Madagascars empty stage is coming: The tulip festival started up a few days ago along with the warm weather. After Christmas until mid-March, the park doesn't have any theme and the park can be really empty, everything was walk-on last Sunday. This weekend being the first real weekend of warm weather and festivals for 2016, lines were 40-60 for dark/flats/water rides and 90-120mins for T Express and the safari ride. In other news, the K-Pop hologram show has been closed for quite a while, since some rides can stay closed during the dead time of year it didn't seem worth reporting but it's still closed and listed as closed into the future on the calendar while everything else has reopoend (except Helicycles) so I wonder if it will leave or perhaps the license with the bands/singers have expired? Still compared to the Helicycle's, which have been on the attraction list for over a year now being closed, the hologram show hasn't been closed that long.

Seems the accident hasn't kept people away from the ride.

Hope this isn't too off topic but seems Wanda will be appearing a lot more worldwide: BBC Source

^ I don't think you guys do international shipping but if I scrape together some more (buying Cities:Skyline is not that urgent )and give $25 more to put you guys at $14,950 since you guys are so close to $15,000 you can use what would have been in my bag with another (maybe if you guys have an XL Bag-O-Crap?) as an incentive to get someone to give more and push it over that limit.

I305 is bigger than Hurler. Now you've seen them compared a second time. I was going to put a number in there but someone would probably tell me it's wrong or I've used drop height not total height etc.

^I didn't realize they were dropping the Sonic theme on Spinball, thought maybe it'd have been around this year with Sonic's 25th anniversary to give it the ride some publicity if/when new games come out. Kind of sad that Enterprise is now the only flat for the whole park considered a thrill: http://ridetimes.co.uk/?group=Thrill

^Didn't this argument already happen? LMFAO!!!! Ok, on second thought, maybe it's BETTER than the fanboys haven't been responding to this thread! --Robb "This might be one of the dumbest things ever posted to TPR." Alvey

^ I think he means www.humblebundle.com since he's asking for the host but if you brought it as a guest it was just tied to a link in your email, but then maybe if you have an account on that website it's saved there as well, I never signed up.

I keep telling you guys, these are a myth. I check every-time I go, there's just a trax now.... In all seriousness though, if Lotte World is never going to turn the water back on I would also really like to see another be built.

Donating now, sorry it's so small, with a baby 2 months away and our new house, money is really tight and everything that is coming in is going out. But being the only money on a teachers salary, this kind of situation is my worst nightmare for my family so I had to give a little.

This one is definitely worse, I spent 6 years doing visiting Everland and always took pictures and looked around Eagle's Fortress for the Korean TR's for TPR since it was what people always asked about, knowing I was just a little too late to ride it, before they finally tore it down. For you guys, that coaster you will see but can't ride will have a pretty huge time-frame of many years for you to get another chance of re-visiting before it closes down.
