Why do we have to steal other parks ideas? I'm very confident we have enough talent in Australia to make a great show. MW just has to tap into it.

Sure, but Village clearly haven't been caring if things are good. They care if its cheap and draws a crowd.

But that doesn’t necessarily mean because it’s good or people enjoy it. Other than the parade, it’s the only real main show the park has, so it just adds to the list of things to do during your day, but I don’t think it’s a must see. While I’d argue the first HSD was a must see, and obviously Police Academy was too.

The park has been called out for cost cutting and being lazy (same thing sometimes?). Not changing the show I feel is just another example of that. The flip side, the show still does draw a crowd.

Except in the afternoon because the whole arena is exposed to the western sun

Just gonna put this here

Early slow ticket sales, might have been caused by people waiting to see what the weather will do. The start of this year has been super shitty for me, so I have decided to start 2024 from today.

The show has been significantly neutered now where there is no actual stunts. A video from 2013 of the old HSD had a motorbike doing wheelies, a police car getting split in half, the cars tilting on one side, an explosion setting off a fire in the middle of the track, and a car jumping into a building, setting off an explosion. Meanwhile, a new video from 2023 of HSD2 shows most of the stunts removed, and replaced by a few cars just drifting around the track for the whole show. No explosions, no fires, just drifting around the whole time. What about a new show themed to Mad Max? It is Aussie, owned by Village, and it appeals to the same crowd as HSD. Keep the stunt aspect of the show, but change it around to fit the Mad Max IP. Its also not like its a dead IP, as Furiosa is coming out in May and there's a new sequel as well on the way. Unfortunately I think we are likely to see HSD2 for a few more years but once its time does come I thought that would be a good replacement.
