Perhaps not an excuse, but VRTP continues to offer a 'mediocre' product offering across all facets of their business, because they have found the optimum quality/effort that generates enough profit to keep all C-Suite employees, owners and shareholders happy.

I don't like the idea because the "we are filming stunts for a movie" is the worst part of the current show.

Hey guys with all of this poor management going on at Movie world I'm going to say Dreamworld is a much better park its actually way more enjoyable and Its still got way more to come.

I don’t often bother with HWSD2 but decided to give it a go on the weekend to see if it was as terrible as I remembered. It was worse. The plot never made much sense (Aussie race, Italian town, American cops?) but apart from a few pratfalls the show is now completely devoid of stunts. It has been reduced to five minutes of drifting to break up the cringeworthy script. The driving has been watered down to remove any perceived close calls. Your average Westfield carpark probably sees more thrills on a Tuesday morning. There are no “wow” moments that people will remember any more, just some hoons jumping around and almost doing burnouts. It’s not like other similar sized parks can’t offer anything better either - Mirabilandia has a fantastic Hotwheels-themed stunt show, featuring (gasp) more than two cars, explosions and a freaking loop stunt. If a regional Italian park can put on that kind of show, Movie World has zero excuse for the current mediocre effort.

As long as there is an entertainment manager there just contracting shows out to rev head ekka style motorsports contractors youre gonna have that turd of a show that is there now It really is a miracle its lasted as long as it has because it truly is awful

I'd be going even further when they have these periods of substantial maintenance. "Buy a day, come back again for free later in 2024" would be an easy promo to run, acknowledges that the full park offering isn't available, and has the added bonus of guests likely spending more money again when they come back.

How will they milk every cent of out each visitor then?

I think the issue is Showtime. They are a bunch of revheads, and as such everything they do seems to revolve around that.

Anything is better than HWSD the original was boring, 2.0 is an embarrassment we’ve all said for years that Mad Max is a perfect IP, but it won’t happen as its costs money and the status quo draws a crowd as people want a shaded seat while they have some snacks.

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.
