Spent 3 hours at wet n wild all rides were walk on but they did have all paid attractions closed(flow rider, zipline and sky coaster) and surf rider was closed but all round was a great time. Aqua loops broke down around 3pm so we decided to head to movie world car park was full as was park I'm writing this from the line up for arkham which has about 2 hour wait, green lantern is down, superman is down, batwing has over an hour wait dont have time to check out scooby or wild west but the whole park is so full main street and every where is packed like it is on event nights etc but I'm guessing broken rides are causing alot of problems here and arkham really needs a second train so I cant say it's the best place to be but I'm only here for a quick visit and wet n wild was the place to be with a empty park and heaps of fun to be had

Arkham Asylum: Shock Therapy (Lethal Weapon Retheme)
RussellSmulders replied to ads086's topic in Theme Park Discussion
No changes to china town and still no audio I'm here now -
That add is simple but alot better then almost all ads Dreamworld has done before well done
-
No I didn't but if Dreamworld wants to survive they need to spend as I always believed Dreamworld to be the number 1 park on the coast but in the last 12 months Dreamworld have slipped really bad and attendance is down(this is what I have heard from staff) and the best offering is Dreamworks which is amazing but it's a kids section and really so far nothing is truly new just new theming and down the ride even know movieworldhave closed two rides things are just getting better and better and they seem to realize that they need to spend money to make money and I remember reading that they are now planning to introduce a new ride/attraction every year for the next few years which is set to turn the heat on Dreamworld so it's going to be a tough time for them if they plan to build something big every 5 or 10 years. So I believe alot of people here and on the gold coast agree that to get our money something new that will attract customers will be needed and money cant be an issue or we will fall down the wonderland Sydney problem which has already started since they sold land to multiplex last year just like wonderland did with LG.

Dreamworld didn't spend much last year only about 10 million when movieworld have spent over 20million in last 12 months so if village can spent it up do can Dreamworld. But I would like Them to spend 20 million on a large coaster they will turn the tide for them cause Dreamworld need to try and fight against movieworld as they have up the game and are smashing them with some new world class rides green lantern and justice league and a retheme arkham asylum against a carnival type disk o and and coaster that only goes in a circle
-
Not really if movieworld wanted to they could of put green lantern thru superman if you you the out of room idea but movieworld still has a lot of room to put rides before we start to build on top of ride
-
The audio is like an action music track which goes great thru the drops etc it's hard to explain the audio but it does make the ride so much better. Without audio I don't like the ride with audio I love the ride it's just an amazing experience

2011 TEA/AECOM theme park attendance report
RussellSmulders replied to aussienetman's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Does anyone know if whitewater world was included cause even knows its a poor water park I thought it would still rate in the top 15 in Asia when 15th place has well under a million or is the place just so crap -
Movieworld Saturday 26/05
RussellSmulders replied to RussellSmulders's topic in Theme Park Discussion
So true forgot about the boat show so I guess that ends this thread -
Just drove past movie world and the whole car park was full even the back section on the grass. I have never seen it that full even for the summer holidays is anyone at the park today to see how busy it was inside and what reasons do you think it could be? Could it just be the last month of VIP passes do everyone is hitting up the park? But it's great for movieworld to be still bring it huge crowds

Yeah but what about the gold VIP there is nothing about it on myfun. It is great value I'm hoping it is coming back as I love the early entry on Saturdays and the entry to the night events
-
Yes I was there yesterday and the stingray is gone but I'm hoping it doesnt end up in Kung fu panda land as they said we were getting new attractions so we are expecting two new kids rides not a moved old stingray But the big thing what will replace it or will they just cover up the space and leave it
-
yes but we dont have many coasters and the only place to truly to it is at movieworld
-
Actual if you want to make a coaster day you make it on a day with less crowds that how it is often done in america and the uk. If you want to go you just call in sick or skip what ever you have on

Something new about to Hatch at SW?
RussellSmulders replied to Gazza's topic in Theme Park Discussion
By the sounds of the press release it's a permanent thing cause they don't mention it as being for holidays or anything plus they only have a month to do everything so i don't believe it will be very big so I guess we just have to wait to next year hopefully for the Bermuda replacement -
Something new about to Hatch at SW?
RussellSmulders replied to Gazza's topic in Theme Park Discussion
my question is where would this be going as it has a far bit of stuff so would need a large space the old area i can think of is the lighthouse area and stuff around there -
I got my VIP gold 2011 when they first came out and it was always paper thenso I don't know how anyone got a hard plastic one

Something new about to Hatch at SW?
RussellSmulders replied to Gazza's topic in Theme Park Discussion
this would be a great replacement for bermuda still use same ride layout with changes and add dinosaurs inside and give the place an upgrade the volcano can still be used and even the video room(wishful thinking) to inform riders that you are taking a trip through time to find what happen to the dinosaurs but who knows it would be sad if its just a exhibit as it will be only a filler when rides are needed even flat small rides would help make the place a full day exprience -
2012 International Additions
RussellSmulders replied to themeparkgc's topic in Theme Park Discussion
That legoland ride looks nasty too many support beams everywhere even through the theming (which is almost not there) it really needs alot of theming to cover up all the support especially in the tunnels -
the land has started to be cleared when i was down a few weeks ago but thats all that has been done so far

will luna park sydney ever get a new ride!
RussellSmulders replied to a topic in Theme Park Discussion
i used to live in sydney and they dont really have any space to expand unless they stop getting temp rides for the holidays and use that space but it wont happen cause luna park attendance is bad. its almost a ghost town when school is on and even when holidays come they dont ever get busy as a lot of people just walkin and out so there wont wanna spend money that isnt they when they stil get better value from temp rides that change often -
Bring A Universal Studios To Australia!
RussellSmulders replied to daltma10's topic in Theme Park Discussion
As much as we would love a universal park it's in the same boat as disney and needs larger crowd numbers and they both have new parks in Asia so they wouldnt be able to justify building a park in Australia and only getting a million or two guest a year it just not the right time unless they built a shit park which won't happen
