Do Intimidator and Behemoth have that same problem with the trains? -

This coaster is looking great. Sorry if this has been answered, but do we know if Shambhala is getting 4 across Hyper Trains or the 2x4 style ones like on Diamondback and Behemoth? -

Zero Gravity Roller Coaster

lol, I'm guessing to put in their twenty zillion dollar Universal Cedar Fair Six Flags Disneyworld megapark that will ONE DAY be built? This ride has Dubai written all over it. -

Sub Terra looks kinda cool, I didnt actually know about it being a dark ride/drop tower until now. I just assumed it was a normal dark ride, and I didnt know the name was sub terra. When was that name released? I always knew it as Nemesis: What Lies Beneath. -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

I think someones already said this, but I hate when people use "the" in front of the name of a coaster. For example "Oh I love the Kingda Ka its the best ride everrrrrrr" -

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
australianalex replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Actually, this post has THREE elements of stupidity (well, four, if you count grammar mistakes) 1. To make $6,000 on an $80 admission requires only 75 visitors a day. That is literally less than three trainloads on most rides. I doubt if large parks ever have attendance that low. 2. A park cannot survive on $6,000 a day. With maintainance and staff wages, this is impossible for a large park. 3. (Obviously) a cheap coaster costs $6,000,000. To build a ride over everything is talking upwards of $30,000,000. How can $6,000 pay for that? Heck, building a good coaster in RECT is difficult to do with less than $6,000. Somebody has been relating RECT to real life a bit too much. Actually, RECT might be a bit of an overstatement. Maybe he was just playing Thrillville. Also, he doesnt get that a ride all over the park would ruin the aesthetic views of the different themed areas Movieworld has. And saying they're scared to build a "scary rid". Oh lolz. Btw what do you mean by RECT? Do you mean RCT or some other game I'm unaware of? -

On Movieworld's facebook page: y cant use build roller coasters like 6 flags in America. there shortest rolla coaster goes for 1:25min our longest one is 36sec.........wats the go with Australia we scared to have a real thrill ride And after I told him that their budget as well as space restrictions would mean it would be difficult to make a huge ride (as well as point out that Six Flags parks aren't all that incredible) he replied with this illiterate gem. Not enuff room??? Build it over the whole park. And not enuff money that's crap people pay 80$ each for entry that like $6000 a day just on entry and the rest $15 each or a meal min. Come on movie world build us a real thrill ride like 6 flags -

Did you look at the picture? Not to mention... Never. The entire point of this park was to create a theme park with a traditional feel. Intamin and B&M don't fit here...If you'd look through the thread, it's not supposed to be that kind of park. Do you see Knobels getting a B&M Hyper? Or an Intamin Accelerator? No. Sorry, I haven't been reading this thread very well, and I didn't see a picture as my internet is very slow and it didn't show up. Now I feel stupid. -

Usually I hate it when rides are on top of rides (eg Levaithan teabagging Dragon Fire) but in this case it looks great! However its a shame they had to place an awesome ride on top of the parks current star attraction, dwarfing it. Though that may work to get people who are intimidated by Dragon Khan hyped up that theres another, even bigger monster being built. -

Every update I see it looks even more amazing Dat hill! -
My new no. 1 pet peeve is the "semi-line jumpers". The types of people who jump ahead to get to their friend; get to the back of the line! I also hate those people who, in line, breathe down the back of your neck and seem to try to cut in front of you every 5 minutes. It really makes the hours queue worse when I'm trying to block the path to keep my place in line.

Wow, for my trip to UK I was planning to stop at Singapore on the way, maybe I'll stop at Abu Dhabi before this park shuts down! Shame it opened a few months after I moved from Dubai. Im going in June so hopefully it won't be too late by then
