Slide parts have arrived and fully 6 fencing has gone up around the site. You can also finally see the foundation the ride will be constructed on.

It doesn't come across as an opinion though. It more comes across as someone else trying to provide further confirmation on top of the comment that Evie left. As much as these forums have mixed thoughts on whether the tower should stay or not, you can't deny that it's a unique ride that many still enjoy and would love to see finally receive the full upgrade that was offered by Intamin a few years ago.

New slide parts have arrived:

Slide parts have arrived for Fully Six.

While I completely understand why some enthusiasts would rather see TOT go, I personally think the refurb is a great move - because as long as DW have TOT, they get to say that they have the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Australia regardless of how much better Rivals is and that is a huge drawcard. I think a refurb would be really well received by the GP too cause it's a bit of a nation-wide inside joke that TOT reaches a pretty pathetic spot on the tower these days and has for many years. Getting it back to the heights (and speed) it used to reach would make it a notable flagship attraction for the park again.

Forgive my skepticism, but judging by your (brief) presence on the boards, you don't come across as someone with an inside connection at DW... would you care to indulge us with an insight into how you know this? TL:DR: Source?

I assumed that was supposed to be merky Halloween water but it looks like ibis shit in it.

Thanks for the update! What's with the creek water in the Main st Fountain?

Also, thanks to @AlexB for finding out that the parts had arrived.

At DW today and first visit post-queue changes for SV. Basically turn left for ride-express, right for everyone else and then winding queue around the big screen. Trolls Village is now surrounded by a fancy fence - at least it’s not a metal one with wrapping. The Monster is a cool concept and great to have indoors on a hot day. For any let’s say “fitness limited” adults such as myself - it’s a challenge! Haha, 2 trips was enough whilst my son got through 4 in the 30min allotted time. No changes at all behind the blue wall around the WipeOut site, and nothing of note on the proposed site for the coaster. TOT2 operating normally which is the first I’ve seen of it in a long time. Buzzsaw, Gingys Gliders the only rides not operating from what I saw. SV about a 30mins wait. Oh, and the new Photo Passes that come free with the annual passes are just laminated paper, no longer plastic cards like the annual passes..

Movie World.

I did the platinum tour and overall it was a great experience. Being the first night there were issues but at least the tickets were a bit cheaper. - SPOILERS AHEAD - Our group got to enter first and we had photos taken at the entry of the VIP room. We were greeted with drinks and canapés and given our tour gift - pen in a coffin shaped box. We were supposed to be going to do the panic rooms at 4:45 but we weren’t taken over til just after 5:00. I did the Dark Room and we were the first ones to escape - and in 18 minutes. We were escorted back to the VIP room and lead straight into the Roxy theatre where we realised we missed basically all of the cast and crew meet and greet. Chilled for a bit then got taken to the viewing area for the opening - where they realised they didn’t have a spot for the platinum people so we had to squish in front of the UTT people. The opening was some of the ‘baby-faced’ killers dancing and a live singer. We were taken to the IT maze first and were basically the first ones to enter. Unfortunately they took all 20 of us in and I was lucky - or not so lucky - last in the line. I missed all the scare actors. But the set was really detailed and I especially liked the sewer. Then the group behind us caught up to us and started pushing us and I was nearly trampled (hey, I’m a petite, short chick). Then we were taken off to do the terror tour. Our group was split in to two and we had to wait near Wild West Falls for a bit. We were joined by a ‘late-comer’ which I thought was strange. I won’t go into detail about the tour but the ‘late-comer’ ended up pissing off one of the drug bosses and they tied him to a tree. I have an inkling that this was all staged as I didn’t see him again after that. Very enjoyable but I agree with the previous poster in that it could’ve been a bit longer. After that we went to experience A Grave Death. We got our make-up done to look like The Joker (seriously.....) I don’t want to spoil the experience as it was one of my favourite things of the night but I will tell you that you are given a panic button should you not be able to take being ‘buried alive’. After that was free time - 2 hours to do whatever we pleased. We did the mazes - thank god for fast track! - backwards on DC rivals, forwards on DC Rivals and a ride on Superman Escape. Grabbed some food - which was amazing as always. Our tour guide - Lucy - was awesome. Took our feedback and I even got an email from her the day after. In case you were wondering, the spiel about ‘experiencing the mazes in a different way’ means to be able to go through by yourself or with just your friends. Had I know that earlier in the night I definitely would’ve gone through IT by myself.

But why do u want it gone if it is a popular crowd puller for families and people looking for 'light thrills'?? Every ride in a park can't be a record breaker or a insane thrill ride. In my opinion, removing if would cause more negativity towards the park than there currently is. I think you (and others) just need to let go. You've just hooked onto this idea without any real base for your opinion. You may as well just say to remove every ride u don't like or don't ride. Why not rip up the Dreamworks area and build a coaster there? Because the park has to cater for everyone!

Was just thinking the Reverse Half Pipe feature on the new rollercoaster could be the replacement.
