Vortex is running so well now - it had a few years where it really struggled to get full height but now it’s as good as new - looks great too with the arms all being freshly painted too!

That one was good, wasn’t it ?

Definitely my favourite “End of day” track used in recent years ? 0DEFDB81-A877-42E6-B011-BC1919D7C2BB.MOV

Nothing - it was perfect.

Also, I swear at closure now this season around 6:30pm the park play briefly that cursed siren noise from years ago which was the most detestable thing to hear imaginable..... What. Was. Wrong. With. Last. Year's. End. Of. Day. Track. Thorpe?

Think they should go back to playing this at the end of the day: The chorus would certainly work...

And so continues the lack of directive from either the park or its parent company over what should be the warm goodbye at the end of your visit and enticing you to come back. Basically, whoever has the reigns over the system and the files available has the deciding vote. Tragic!

They’re currently playing the old end of day music after close. The one from 2002(?)-2011 I believe. A great shame really, the music from the Shark Hotel they were playing last year was much nicer. Definitely one of the better imascore tracks, and it fit really nicely as a “winding down” sort of piece. The 2002-2011 one is just far too lively and in your face.

Ever since the start of this season, I do not know whether this is intentional or not, but the park across the affected areas seem to be playing some oddly edited and severely shortened versions of their IMAscore tracks they got made a couple of years ago and as of 27/04/19, none of this has been rectified still. To give an example, I have noticed the entrance audio played at admissions and over the bridge has been shortened down to just 12 minutes in length before it fades out and loops again, meaning 18 minutes worth is no longer presently being played. The Shark Hotel's walkway I noticed is playing a shorter variant of the Port & Basecamp track, and the Dome's interior plays the Shark Hotel theme. These have been muddled up and swapped. And as for Lost City/Colossus, The Jungle/Inferno, it's the same story - the shorter variant is being played across these areas, not the full version. And where's the end of day audio they used across the park last year which played bang-on closing time which I believe was the Shark Hotel audio? Last year it worked really, really well as an end of day track I thought, but now there's nothing played across the park anymore. But maybe I'm just imagining things with these differences I have listed, so has anyone else noticed too?

StevenVig being unnecessarily sarcastic about a justified comment? Shock horror

When you say try do you actually mean 'hides show building completely'?

Clearly missing the point when a fair few members on this exact forum are technically illegal in Dubai and surrounding areas due to the out-dated laws... Accusing Mark of being a Daily Mail reader is stealth contender for Post of the Year...

Would Dubai really be a higher priority than Orlando and the two listed Disney parks? There's a lot of stuff there but beyond Formula Rossa and Flying Aces it's a LOT of mediocrity...
