I stand corrected.

Nice work, can we get gringrots to the right of the volcano?

Thanks

Perfection :thumbsup: and with that I have a new screen saver.

One last cheeky request, could anyone turn this into a signature for me including UK-Trigg?? maybe the UK-Trigg could replace Universal on the globe or where VB signage is.

 

[cjcormac]

Tried one on the globe and one more standard one.

Not really.

This image specifically is showcasing the 3 icons of the 3 parks and they want to make a point of showing off Krakatau. Add in Hogwarts as you did (not that you did a bad job) and it begins to make the Volcano feel less special and the eye isn't as naturally attracted to it.

This really isn't a piece of art to showcase rides, but more so the 3 parks and their associated skylines.

If they wanted to show off just the icons, then they shouldn't have added anything else. I'm also finding it odd that the volcano is shown between the two parks, it's guaranteed that somebody will be looking for it where Toothsome is.

you can see the volcano from the turnpike bridge over I-4. It sticks out like a sore thumb. It will become an icon for folks on I-4.

That's why I said "and their associated skylines", of which HRRR, Doom, Hulk, etc are a part of.

But they've also added MiB which is about as far back as you can go.

 

[anihilnation]

(...) it's guaranteed that somebody will be looking for it where Toothsome is.

Hahaha

Fun fact: met someone in the theme park fandom who was convinced Volcano Bay was just a new resort and the volcano would have some of the resort's pool areas.

Le sigh.

Gotta love people like that.
I love being told that they're just turning Wet N' Wild into a new water park.

A shot I took yesterday!

Off topic but this was discussed in this thread earlier and it's relevant reading for what's happening in the industry:

Schlitterbahn will permanently close, take down Verruckt water slide

So the park is not closing right? This is a very poorly written article

 

[Kungaloosh1937]

The headline while confusing is written correctly.

How do they test water slides for safety?

How do they test water slides for safety?

Same way they do coasters. With dummies with computerized systems that can capture data.

Even with the non-mat non-raft slides?

If its a basic slide that is enclosed, a human can test it and they test for the water level on the slide to make sure people don't drown going down and for smoothness in regards to safety. They also measure fun. However if a slide isn't enclosed, they have specially made test dummies to make sure people won't go flying off.
