meryll83 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm assuming the Q-Fast (FastPass/Express equivalent) isn't necessary at the moment? We're not going for another couple of months, but it'll be mid-week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 As long as your not there at the weekend or a public holiday you will be fine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFEV Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 They take you from the car park to the parks The buses are, actually, just temporary. There is a very cool fleet of air conditioned trams already in testing at the resort to bring guests from the main (general) car park to the parks. There are multiple stops on the tram route - depending on what is most convenient to the park you are visiting. The VIP parking area (and Valet) are directly adjacent to Riverland - so no transport needed for this separate car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Yeah. Was going to say that. The trams are on site and do look amazing! Can't wait to take a ride. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 And the busses have stunning staff that tell you which stop you are at and they play the cool dpr theme tune too! Honestly I can't praise the staff enough. Today I forgot my pass in my car so had to go back to the parking and they were so helpful!

meryll83 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Is it easy to get a taxi - we won't be driving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Prob the best bet is to get the metro to the end of the line. Then a taxi from there. It's. It too far from there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBru Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Dave, can those of us who likely won't make it out to this park any time soon get a spoiler-filled review of the Madagascar Mad Pursuit coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Sure. SPOILER WARNING! You enter Madagascar Mad Pursuit through a large circus tent. The que is very well themed and includes a walk through a railway car with assorted animals. You board the 8 seater car and move slowly to a nice dark ride scene. There is a scene with the stars of the film it features a projection and several animatronics. A tunnel in front of you lights up with some great effects and you are launched form standstill into the main ride building. Straight after the launch is a hill with huge air time. This is followed by a few more airtime hills all the hills have animatronic figures that light up as you go past. They create a really good feeling that you might collide with them. There is a cool section with a giraffe in a canon that is shot out. There is a small section that goes out into the Madagascar area. It's quite a long ride with loads of airtime and a great launch. At the end there is another animatronic scene with a lion tamer. Overall it's easily the best ride in the park. I rode it before the effects were working and it was great. The addition of the animatronic and lighting scenes really improve it. They don't allow any loose items on this ride. There are lockers outside that are free for the first hour. They do allow glasses with the correct securing straps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meryll83 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 What's the situation with loose items - do they have lockers? Are they free? Would a small shoulder bag be allowed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubaidave Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Think it's 4 or 5 times a day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubaidave Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 No loose items on the ride. There are fewer for one hour lockers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meryll83 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The fluffy bunnies has confused me! It's overwriting the key word!!! So are "storage cabinets" available which are free for 1 hour for loose items? Or do you pay? Any other rides with no loose items? Do these also have free "cabinets"? Thanks for all the advice!

CoasterFEV Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks for the review, sounds like the best coaster in Dubai and gives the Intamin's down the road a run for their money as the best in the UAE. Would love to see an official POV of this ride some day! Sorry - but the privilege of shooting a POV is being "reserved" until our friends at Theme Park Review visit us in March!
