  1. I don't hate the batman crossover idea - the ride is right next to Gotham City Hall after all. I'd just hate for it to degrade into some cheap spinoff without the recognition. I'm happy to stick with the original film as the theme of the ride - I just hope they do something different with the queueline video...

  3. ^Dick. Why can't it be both? What can't it be regarded as a ride, and a mode of transportation around the park? If that's all they were, then why do parks devote additional resources and expense to certain themed elements - bushranger \ bandit robberies, dioramas, etc? I'm not suggesting these sorts of rides aren't a form of transport (arguably, all roller coasters are also a form of transport if you really want to be pedantic), but they are also a ride. Wet N Wild Buggy is also a form of transport. Wild West Falls is also a form of transport Rocky Hollow Log Ride is also a form of transport. "The Green Room" is also a form of transport

  4. I definitely think the SW Monorail is just a mode of transport. It doesn't offer any form of unique experience. People really only use it to get from one point to another. The park themselves don't even list it as an attraction, its under its own heading in Park Info. If the transport incorporates a show or new scenes or views that aren't seen on foot, then yes I would class that as an attraction (Eg. Disney's train, DW's paddlesteamer, etc). An attraction is something go to a theme park to experience, I doubt there are many people that go to SW to purely just ride the monorail, or go out of their way to ride it.

  5. I don’t like your opinion haha... but I didn’t explain mine well. in all honesty I was being overly generalising. I 100% stick by my opinion that the monorail at SW being a form of transport only, and not a ride or attraction. How a means of transport elevates to be being a ride or attraction in my mind is when the experience is themed, or by partaking in that form of transport you see or have an experience you wouldn’t have if you just walked (and I’m not talking about simply seeing the park from more high up as there isn’t anything at the park in SW’s case designed to be viewed from above). The old DW paddlesteamer for instance is a ride/attraction - you experienced a show you couldn’t see Any other way. Ditto the backlot tour when it existed at MW or the one at US. The train at DL from Memory (its been along while) takes you past scenes/locations you wouldn’t see. I’d consider a horse drawn cart or a horse & carriage farm tour an attraction as that is a very unique experience that would generally take you somewhere new.

  6. It would be more to do with the capital raising diluting the value of each individual share. They're effectively adding ~20% more shares into the market so it makes sense that the existing stock would go down in price.

  8. Could well be. Sadly a lot of so-called Journalists these days are much more suited to writing fiction novels.

  9. I am guessing that the new theme will incorporate the spirits being snatched and put into scrappy do like in the movie. That is where projections, holograms and other trickery could be used. It would need a big druid circle section thing, so disco room may change. I do hope they get Rowan Atkinson's voice behind it.

  11. Whilst it wasn't in a theme park, this is the mistake that Sydney made when they removed their monorail "because it didn'tprovide an efficient transport service". In fact, it was a major tourist attraction, not a transport service!

  14. Can confirm it has closed. A friend of mine had booked to do it in a couple of weeks time, but received an email letting them no it had closed and they will be provided with a refund.

  15. @pushbutton Nobody was insulting anybody. You’re post it the most pointless post of the year because it has nothing to do with the topic. I was replying to every point he made you inbasul. Next time I reply to Alex I will dumb it down for you, so you don’t think I’m insulting Alex. Alex and I don’t mind the friendly jab. I suggest you take up knitting because interacting with people is all too much for you.

  18. It does indeed, and what they may not realise is that there are in fact some Warner Bros movies which actually don't feature Batman, or any DC characters, or Loony Tunes characters, or Scooby-Doo. Amazingly, there are quite a lot of them!

  20. The reopening of Dreamworlds Bus Stop has been pushed back until late October, likely due to a delayed reopening of Buzzsaw.

  21. This is one attraction that has never really made sense to me. It seems more at home in sand dunes than a water park. I go to water parks for slides and pools not to ride a dirt buggy. The park needs to invest in new slides not contract third party out of place pay per use attractions.
