Ian

a hong kong stunt team did the scobby doo movie (dvd extras show this) also I can say its about 95% chance that matrix coaster will happen (barring some thing like terriost attacks )

I was at work the other day when I was talking to a couple in there 20s from Tokyo anyway I was telling them that I wanted to go to Tokyo to visit Disney and Disney sea. Anyway they told me that Movieworld was alot better and I asked them why and they said because the rides are fun and the staff interact and make your visit fun. Also the guy told me Fuji-Q Highlands "home of Dodonpa" was really worth a visit thou. anyway the above a just a opinon of guests , I will still visit Disney Sea at one point in my life but intresting anyway.

went to wet n wild on friday had a look at construction so far . bascially what I saw was a big round pool empty with about 8 huge round elements going around the pool (like your oven element but way bigger) these round element things will create the whil pool effect also there was a run way slope heading into the pool. and the ride is being made behind the wave pool area.

so if they say 2004 quiet year what happening in 2003 ? I hope they redo thunderbolt or replace it because if they do nothing for 2003 and 2004 and make us ride thunderbolt in the state it is in now thats just a crime against humans and our bones as they get rattled each ride.

orignally posted by thunder001 I heard this from alot of people at work too. plus it a perfect location for a super park as both parks are in a mini valley and there alot of space behind the two. also I know we dont have the population like Anaheim, Tokyo and Paris and Orlando but why cant we join them I do see a big boom down here in the next 10 years.

there was a memo posted at work today about wet n wild new ride and all the facts it opens in december. and wet n wild has updated there web page with facts as well. http://www.wetnwild.com.au/home/homepage.cfm facts single or tandem tubes Spanning 26 metres in diameter circulate one thousand people per hour This vortex of swirling rapids will revolve you at a speed of 3 metres per second,

posted by zztopless (dan) wrong wooden coaster of now a days are easy to market and theme if you build it in the right part of the park like wild west just like knotts did with ghostrider being built in ghosttown at knotts plus the wooden coasters of now a days go so fast, ive been on ghostrider loads of times and it is the best coaster I have ever been on to date.

I agree that you back track at Movieworld alot, but as for the shows I think some are alot more fun then Dreamworld and not all are full on. Did you know that durning the PA stunt show outside in the main st there are the following shows going on Marilyn Monroe, the Director Show, Bonnie and Clyde, Austin Powers, Elvis in the afternoon and of course Bat Attack 12:15 and Parade of Stars 14:30 As for indy sunday it was pissing down I would stop rides if I was in charge as for Batman I worked in Batman that day and the ride was in full motion the customer you talked to must of gone on 1 of the 3 motionless flights that they do each day for people who dont like thrills. And remember at the end of the day Movieworld is a movie park like Universal Studios Hollywood where Dreamworld is a Thrill Ride park like SFMM or Knotts.

did you know that when the dirty harry bar 1st open Clint Eastwood was the 1st person to pour a beer from the tap.

i think the next coaster will be from one of there spain movieworld collection probably like wild wild west (wooden) or superman ride of steel or batman the pursuit and it will be built on movieworld land behind looney tunes, police acamedy, and wild west falls

i notice to day on my way to work out at movieworld the south side of wet n wild was being dug up by bulldozers p.s we are all friends on this site but me and JOZ are insiders :twisted:

sorry im working in rio bravo at wild west falls on the 17th

dreamworld would be good as I dont really want to hang around movieworld on my day off

i would like one of those toilet bowl rides they have in the states

sorry I had to work on saturday in the harry potter shop and monday so I wont be there on sunday

i was told itis used for private functions and television show tapings

hey guys introduction day rocks i got paye to walk around the park and ride some rides. I will be on the retail carts I think which will be cool as I get to be outside. if your in the park look for a guy with a blue or turk shirt with the name Ian.

this is good news if it comes true any new coaster in aussie is a good thing

just wanted to know if anyone on these boards have been to other parks outside of australia. heres mine "rainbows end" in auckland heaps "chessington world of adventures" london 3 times "six flags magic mountain" los angeles 4 times "Knotts Berry Farm" Buena park 5 times "disneyland" Anaheim 5 times "disney california Adventure" Anaheim 1 time and las vegas coasters 3 times

cheers guys sadly for you guys i will be in tourist shop not food. but i prefer the tourist shopping side anyway. also I was told i may also have to work at seaworld some times which is cool for me as i live on main beach pde. also it's great to see a aussie theme park community because it's hard dicussing stuff with americans when you not really there .

no problem if im not working, but if im working i will be at the park anyway so just pop in and say hi 8)

from wednesday 16th I will no longer be a movieworld guest instead i have become there latest employee . I will be starting in the retail part of the park and I couldnt be happier

hey guys just wanted to know if anyone wants to meet up at dreamworld at the moment I will be trying to get out there once a week for photos of nick land. reply and it would be good to meet fellow theme park freaks.

great theard and i agree with everything you said. as for coasters i think movieworld needs 2 over the next few years a hyper and a big wooden like movie world spain or knotts as for how i see the parks i arrived here from nz in jan and IMO movieworld remindes me a bit of Knotts Berry Farm in 1995 and disneyland as well, "meaning there are about to expand where dreamworld gives me more of a sfmm feel. one thing which is sad with scobby thou is the theming is starting to chip with paint ect when I 1st saw this ride disneyland theming came straight to mind, but sadly the quailty is beginning to chip.

new coaster the rumors say vekoma family supended which staying in theme with NICK land would most likely mean a clone of RUGRATS RUNAWAY REPTAR coaster at Paramount's Kings Island in the states http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery1037.htm
