This will not be happening, no need to fix something that isn't broken. Apart from the minor hiccup the ride had earlier in the year with it's launch system (and TBH it was actually fixed pretty quickly all things considered) the ride has been pretty reliable for the most part. I'd say Superman would have another 10 or so years left in her before we'd be looking at a replacement or major change to the ride system. It's clear that Village have no plans to remove it given they are about to invest in a new station design etc for the ride. I especially would hope that they wouldn't go with Zamperla given all the issues that Top Thrill 2 has had since it "Opened" If anything is going to ever be done to the launch, they would be stupid to go with anyone other than Intamin anyway. As far as new rides go, I don't want to see Movie World get a new roller coaster for a while now. The ride lineup is very coaster heavy and I think they have all demographics covered (Kid's coaster: Road Runner. Family: Scooby, Kansas Twister, Wicked Witch. Thrill: Flash, Superman, Rivals and GL) The park really needs 2 or 3 new flat rides to boost overall capacity, and not dud's like Doomsday. I personally would have loved to have a star flyer kind of attraction for the park, but with Trident now I don't think that's the best idea. Once they get a few decent capacity flat rides, I'd love to see them focus on the WBK area of the park and replace the nearly 30 year old Zamperla rides (Sam Train and Tweety) and give that whole part of the kids area a overhaul. That's what I'd be spending the next 5 or so years on for MW (Oh and please, a decent quality show to replace the train wreck that is HSD 2). Once that's done, maybe a replacement for Justice League depending on how they keep up with the ride maintenance etc. For Dreamworld, I think the next area they will focus on is the Motocoaster after Rivertown opens. The ride stands out like a sore thumb as it is, and once Rivertown opens it will be even more of an eyesore. I'd say this ride has maybe 5 years left before it's replaced. The only other ride I can MAYBE see that closes before it would be Gold Coaster, but given it's a pretty simple design without any major issues it might last a while longer. I think for 2025 though we will see more of the park cleaned up, which I think is really needed and the park is certainly on the right track for it. I'd like to see for 2026 an expansion to White Water World (Can we finally get the Lazy River?!) and maybe a flat ride for Dreamworld and then in 2027 I'd say we would be due for another major thrill coaster or hopefully a water ride of some description. I think for WnW we will see a replacement hopefully for the Aqua Loop but I don't predict anything major as their line up is already pretty full. Sea World I'd like to see another Flat Ride for the park (one that is reliable) but probably not as thrilling as Vortex. A family thrill on the scale of a Zamperla Nebulaz or similar. I don't see them getting another coaster for the next several years.

You're not wrong, but they can't afford that right now. They're still building the dry park up, and winter operations at the water park should definitely NOT be the priority "now". But provided their trajectory continues upward, I could see them refocussing within the next 5 years to start building it up and expanding it prior to the Olympics. But the dry park isn't ready and isn't producing sufficient revenue to eat the off-season losses at an open waterpark when it's approaching zero degrees outside.

I disagree. I think the parks will want to continue their trajectory and add a new attraction/s. MW have grown the reputation of having all their rides closed, so by adding another ride (and with the reopening of Scooby), they’ll see that as a way to win people back over (even though I believe the heart of the problem is poor maintenance management). DW will also want to continue their trajectory of investing in more attractions (or even a new land). The crowds are really starting to return to the park in the last year and I think that’s because they’ve been investing large amounts of money (almost yearly). The park had grown the reputation of they’ve removed everything and theirs nothing to do, so they need to put that to bed completely. I get the feeling Village is pretty happy with the line-up with Sea World right now. I think there is definitely more the park could do and needs in its line-up, but it’s the most attractions the park has had in more than a decade. It really is! And despite the opening of four attractions in 2021 they have since then lost Surfrider, Aqualoop, SkyCoaster and Flowrider is rarely open. I see Aqualoop has the best viable location for a new attraction. But I think WWW is that poor cousin too because other than Fully 6 (4), it hasn’t had a decent investment in over a decade. The park wide refurbishment was a decent investment, but it needs that expansion that’s been spoken about for many years now. They have also lost Wedgie and I don’t think Triple Vortex has been open for several seasons. Absolutely and I think this will be there focus alongside (or soon after) Scooby. I’m really hoping to see something open on the former rocky hollow site as that is really the most lacking corner of the park and makes the Giant Drop feel like it’s not even a part of the park. If they built a new ramp to remove all of spaghetti junction they have a lot of land, and even more if they finally demolished Blue Lagoon. I’d to see a new thrill attraction that makes people want to visit the park to just ride that and then compliment it with a smaller family attraction (even if it’s a flat ride), so they can create a new ‘land’

Next year or two from village will mostly be updates I'd say. You have Scooby opening next year. Next big ride to do up is Superman. I doubt Village will have any interest in an LSM conversion for superman given Cedar Point's issues with theirs. What they should be doing is a next generation like revamp - completely re-doing the dark ride section as it is looking very tired. Haven't ridden Superman in a while as I'm too tall for it now but recent POV's give it away, the track sensors are playing the wrong voice recordings. If they're spending money on the queue, the least they could do is extend that to the actual ride. With the lockers going away, bring back the shop while you're there. Maybe new trains to accommodate taller riders, but a difficult task when considering clearances. Doomsday and the villains land is as good as gone - i'd expect that and the showcase building to be used up for their next big ride, but that's at least 3-4 years down the track. Make that entire area wild west, superheroes belong in superhero corner. I'd love Vortex at Movie World where Doomsday is now, but I doubt it gets moved. Wishlisting a small scale dive coaster on that combined site as it's a proven guest magnet, the optics of it would be good (imagine a vertical drop and immelman staring at you walking towards west) and will make that corner of the park lively. Likewise at Sea World the vikings castle will probably be kept until its time for something new. How long it will be until that 'something new' gets built is up for debate. I'll wishlist a modern flume there. I don't see anything going on Corkscrew's spot personally, I think that stays BOH with the new workshop being built nearby. Dreamworld really needs to build more beyond Rivertown and I'm sure that what they're doing now isn't the last thing we see. They need a water ride of some description, either a shoot the chutes or a water coaster on Rocky Hollow's spot, and a big flat in Wipeout's spot (would love a star shape there). That's the bare minimum and i think those two things are achieved before Coast sell. WWW really really needs a lazy river but not sure on if it'll get built. All that is really left to touch inside the park is Motocoaster, and that's probably going to be seeing changes sooner rather than later.

To clarify it wasn’t a single large tank, it was a lot of smaller tanks. Similar to the size of the reptile/frog displays inside the Bilby Centre at Dreamworld.

Don't stress. DW have more plans for 2025.
