Movie World have finally updated their park map on the website, with a whole new look. But personally I'm not sure if I like this new style they've gone with. Thoughts?

Early access for annual pass holders can now be booked from the park's website. 8:30am access to the park, running for two weeks from next week and then on the weekends for a few more.

Yeah, good story, tonight. The ride looks great as do the gardens around it. People looked pretty happy, although I loved the anchor's reaction: 'ah,no'.

Finally got a 10th row ride & a backwards ride today. Amazing! So many unexpected forces while riding backwards & that first drop is definitely my favourite sitting in the back. Even after riding forwards a couple of times, I was still not ready for what was coming. At some points you think the coaster is slowing down then boom, you get hit with an intense corner & dive straight back down. 10th row has to be my favourite facing forward. The first drop is awesome & coming out of the NIL is so intense. If you don't like intense rides however, the front would be a better option (even though the front is still pretty intense lol). Finally, let me just say I cannot wait for the shade to be added over the queue line 🙌

Zombie Laser Tag is now available to book.

I'm a fan. Easier to follow if you've never been to the park before. The old one wasn't bad but this one seems to indicate pathways much more clearly.

Passholder ID works for your member number. Memberships are technically a high level of VIP pass so why would they miss out?

Yeah @Aimsley81 mentioned that the other day too. I agree. Funny that. Yesterday I was at Brisbane Airport and the VR for AA billboard was up, and I wondered if they'd put up a DCRivals one. Lo and behold:

I was reading through some of the comments on Facebook after MW announced the opening of the ride. There's the ones that ask about the intensity, ones tagging their friends, there's ones just doing the standard "I can't wait" type comments. You know, all the normal Facebook stuff. Then there's one I couldn't help but laugh at. I mean it's clearly a troll that hasn't had any of the reaction it's looking for. Well at least I assume it's a troll. Surely no one is that stupid and out of touch with the world of theme parks, or just the world in general, that they are really trying to compare literally the greatest rollercoaster in the Southern Hemisphere with an old, outdated, deteriorated ride like BT which isn't even in the same class of rides?! At least with their comment on AA they can recognise what a roller coaster actually is, so that's something. But even then AA can't hold a bar to Rivals at all.

Movie World announced on Facebook about an hour ago that the official opening day is this Friday. No more wondering if it will be open, just lots of queuing

The monorail was well and truely open by 1994.

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW Just had my first ride on it, and it was incredible. Exceeded my expectations. The air time, the forces, the speed. Wow. What a coaster it is. World class. Not a dull moment throughout, and the surprise airtime for longer than you expect is awesome. What a weird feeling the NIL provides. And the close calls as you move throughout the track is awesome. Wait for about 45 minutes in single rider queue, while normal queue was about the same time. Loading and unloading was very efficient. Well done MW. Now for an update: The road has reopened, and finishing touches being made throughout the area And the poles for the shading have now been installed, just the sails to go

I think it would make massive sense to join Arkham and the Villans area with a short villans themed path, but I wouldn't do it till there were plans for the land behind Scooby, by which time Arkham might be due to come down anyway.

Sally Corp have relaunched/updated their website, looks great http://sallycorp.com/

Which park should a want to be man visit???????????????? MOVIE WORLD DREAMWORLD

Universal is in Osaka, which, without a JRP is going to be expensive, especially if you're not doing any other travel outside of Tokyo. Let's say you're staying in Tokyo for a tick, here's where i'd be at: Go to Fuji-Q Highlands, it has a Thomas the tank engine land for the little ones and Japan's most craziest rides, period. I've written about it here: http://ourworlds.co/2017/reviews/fuji-q-highlands-review/ Get a 3 day pass to the Tokyo Disney resort, you won't regret it. Remember to commit though, Japan crowds are smart, organised and efficient, so if you're not there at 9am like they are you'll miss out on all the good fastpasses. Stay nearby - places like the MyStays Maihama are a nice joint nearby without spending a lot of cash. Above all else, go to DisneySea, it's the best park on the planet and it'll blow your mind. Kawasemi and Regina are two fantastic Intamin coasters in one of the worst parks in the world for the simple reason they treat their animals like shit, and for as much as I just love Kawasemi, I can't recommend Tobu Zoo to folks. O'daiba is a cool place to visit in the afternoon/evening and it's where you'll find Joypolis and a sweet indoor inverting spinning coaster that has joysticks on it so you can shoot things. It's just awesome. Plus there's new VR stuff nearby and an onsen "theme park" nearby you should try. It's like what Darling Harbour in Sydney should've been. Head to Tokyo Dome and ride Thunder Dolphin. It's nearby heaps of other stuff so you can lump it in with other sight-seeing duties. At this point you've spent roughly 5 days doing coasters and theme parks. If you have more time, then your stretch goals should be: Go to Yimouriland, it's not filled with crazy amazing coasters but it's a fun day out. Yokohama Cosmoworld is pretty cool too, plus the Kirin brewery is nearby and gives out free samples. Hope this helps.

I'm just assuming that the sound stages will be used this year, because I can't think of any other locations they could be this year, as it isn't the dodgems or SDSC queue.

False alarm unfortunately. It opened, one group went up and then we were told it was shutting again.
