no one fell out of the roller coaster. someone jumped from one of the upper floors though, thats why they have the suicide nets on level 1.

dunno why they shut down though... me thinks it was relocated somewhere.

Shit, anyone remember Dazzleland in the Myer centre?

It's basically all but forgotten now... a few years ago, you could still see the Dazzleland signs and stuff, but now it's all covered up by 2m of white painted glass so you can't see in.

Apparently, the gym only takes up 1 level... the other 2 levels, which were what Dazzleland was located on, are simply disused. They don't even allow service people up there anymore, as they say the floors "are too weak". It basically never got maintained after it closed in the late 90's I guess.

I still have a Dazzleland token sitting at home, too! Hahaha

But shit, that was awesome up there when I was young! And Lego Land... ah... memories.

I loved it when Zone 3 was located there. Best ever when you did one of those marathon lockins. I'd be there all the time with my mates running amock! :D

Some bloke suicided by jumping off a higher level. Couldn't handle his GF dumping him. So the suicide sails went up.

Coaster shut down due to the increase in insurance, back around the time of the HIH collapse. Wasn't making enough money to cover the insurance costs. Remove the "amusements" from the policy and the insurance was cheaper. They had a few in other Myer centres in cities around Aust which also closed down.

There was plenty of jumpers from the upper levels in the Myer centre. Few suicides and one case of a school kid that was messing around with a school bag on his back, anyway, he was on the edge over the railing and the school bag tipped over his back, acting like a weight and dragged him down.

Yeah and then they installed the nets/sails to stop it from happening.

And yeah, that Dazzleland roller coaster rumour is old as! It came from the original rumour of when the roller coaster was first tested with crash dummies on it, all of the dummies were decapitated.

Shit... just realised Ted's stripping his super-sexual onevia after it was defected!

Shocking. That thing was porn.

You only JUST realised? :D He's only been parting it for about a month.

Also, your avatar on NS is rediculous amounts of awesome, but also annoying as I lose like 5 minutes whenever I see it :laughing-smiley-014:

Caption Fail

Face off ... Jennifer Hawkins and Miranda Hawkins hit town on Friday.

yep Kerr, by a minute margin.

Rubes, that made me think of a quote from step brothers:

Barbara Walters, Oprah, your wife. You gotta f**k one, kill one, and marry one, go!

come to think of it, this is a farken hilarious read if you've seen the movie!

Who would you tap: Jennifer Hawkins or Mirranda Kerr?

+1 Kerr.

Err, what :D

Hawko is roughly 10 billion times better looking than Kerr.

*edit* that being said, I'd spear them both but how the hell anyone would go Miranda Kerr over Jennifer Hawkins is beyond me :D

That was Clayton. He lived a few doors down from us (where his parents still live). They put the plastic barriers in Myer itself directly due to that.

They don't know if he was messing around, but he was sitting on the railing and the weight pulled him over and he fell from the top floor... managed to stay alive for 24 hours.

Sadly his sister suicided in July last year. I suspect partly because she never really dealt with his death, tho none of us will ever know for sure...

    • Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...
    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
