Yes I agree the next park map will be for the September ride launch and there won't be a change to that unless there is a major problem it cost too much to change maps often -

The guard with a tv on his head is taken from the game an is the best thing about the theming also remember how movie world said who would be seen on this ride, poison ivy, bane, killer croc, jOker and Harley Quinn. I have seen killer croc cell with just his eyes, and a room with a tank of liquid which I don't know who it is for but joker and Quinn is just voice over its a shame no actual statues or anything which would look great -

The ride is fantastic, it does shake as much and you have so much freedom, it is so much more fun now I would even say its smoother and better then superman but time will tell if it gets rough again. Theming is half and half it's not the best more on bar with green lantern but alot better then lethal weapon. Green buttons are causing alot of problems with releasing harnesses and some theming still needs to be done. I love the guard uniforms look alot better then the inmate uniform but the gaurds are only in the control room and only come out if there is a problem. Got to love Harley's voice it sounds like they have mixed it with tweetys so funny also with the old theatre building and queue line why not move batwing in the building and have it shoot out the roof it would make it less empty down there. On another note batwing has been closed again not sure why but it was raised and 4 workers trying to repair it Also I have a copy of the new park map it has arkham on the front and inside it still have the map with lethal layout and building without new arkham elements and says arkham asylum so nothing new with the new park map just changed over from green lantern -

Arkham is still in soft opening today ran one load of people and broke down still waiting for it to reopen. There seems to be an issue with the harness system caused by the release button which is stopping the ride from being launched also the speakers still haven't been installed yet -

Let's say we enter on the side go thru a maze exit out the old front of lethal weapon and then move thru the lines up the old ride exit (photo area) and to the ride and then after the ride we exit out the back near superman makes alot of sense if that's the case -
It will cost money once they bring it out and scooby has the fast track on the left side and normal line on the right side inside scooby once both lines meet up we get Moved on in groups which doesn't speed up the line unless it's the summer holidays but I'm all for a wristband system that can be used at certain times of the day or a special line for fast track the current method is very messy only time will tell if movie world can get the right balance

RussellSmulders replied to ads086's topic in Theme Park Discussion
That's what confused me but this entrance look really well done so it doesn't look temp also it looks as if they want us to exit out the back of Arkham near superman escape I'm trying to get thru to upper management to find out what's happen. On a different note to batman jetboat is gone not sure where to but the section it was in is now empty and no signs for it anymore -

Ride entrance seems to be on the side not the front as this section has been done up and looks great I'm abit confused about the old entrance now I will post this entrance later -
Im currently at movie world and am using the fast pass system I have spares that I kept and will post photos of them. Each pass has a time on it that goes for 15 mins and are in limited supply. Green lantern you use the exit to enter, superman has change the chains to try and make two different lines but it was less than 15min wait so pass was useless. I'm waiting to 2pm to try scooby doo and wild west falls doesn't have the fast pass. Arkham asylum will have it but it isn't ready yet and this is only a one week trial and after the trail you will have to pay for it if they decide to use the fast pass. I believe the q4u is a better system or even just paying extra and having a wristband and have a fast lineup cause this system seems to use alot of extra staff around 2-3 per ride so its not going to be cost effective

RussellSmulders replied to RussellSmulders's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Yes Dreamworks would have pushed them alot as there was two official Dreamworks bosses there inspecting everything so I'm guessing Dreamworld were push to make this perfect. Now we move on to September and king fu panda land and the new rides which seems to have space for two maybe three rides if they remove the old nick shop we have the avalanche and the spot where kite flyers was also a new bit of area up the side of the sword spin and merry go round and the old shop so what kids rides are they that Dreamworld might look to buy, could the vortex finally be making a comeback what do you think -

RussellSmulders replied to RussellSmulders's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Well it's now open but dronkey flyers is closes as there are no dronkeys and the merry go round is open but they are still waiting on half the ride objects as they haven't turned up yet and escape from Madagascar is a mud pit under the ride so some work to be done there but overal the place is amazing alot better then anything the pack has ever done pohs garden is small which has a ooh statue and the jumping fountains which now have a large rock case over them which make them look alot better. Photos will be up tonight as I'm going to how to train your dragon tonight but the outsiders on Facebook are posting photos now -

RussellSmulders replied to RussellSmulders's topic in Theme Park Discussion
looking closely at the photos you can see only a little bit of the whole area but the old kite flyers has a bit of work todo as it has no themeing or anything at the moment same with the merry go round where are the onion carriages and other things mentioned also it only has a few items on it and other rides not in photos are still in need of alot of work but i will say this is still at the same level it was at on sunday so not looking good time wise i guess 10am saturday we will find out when i get there -

RussellSmulders replied to RussellSmulders's topic in Theme Park Discussion
yes the area is starting to look great but like yesterday(sunday) there was maybe 4 workers working on stuff yesterday and being so close and with the weather up and down yesterday was a good day that they should have really got into it and it seem to be wasted so im guessing its going to be like the shockwave when it opened half assed. They really should have pushed it back like movieworld has before setting a hard date -

i was there today and its a mess it looks like they will not be finished by next week as almost none of the rides are finished. There are massive holes everywhere alot of the rides still need to be installed as only sword swings and maybe madagascar coaster look close to completion, others are missing sections. The only way it looks to be completed is to put fences around most areas not done cause it looks like there are maybe 3 weeks away from getting it all done. On a different note we have a area which looks like to have kung fu panda theming which is be the old jumping water sprouts which youi can see in photo 13 in this update from the outsiders page http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.354449154597075.77667.221490447892947&type=3 -

I was there today, there has been nothing new done to china town since last photos as well as the new lethal weaspons signs since haven't been pulled down so it's looking like they are running out of time also a ride ops who used to run lethal said the rumor is just the new trains will have a harness like green lantern so with nothing on your shoulders do it might explain the higher thrill rating -

The new shops have two sides one side Madagascar and the other side is a castle for shrek also I believe the food outlet might also be connected based on the side. And on the lair when it was first announced it was to include new animals over time but nothing ever happened but Kung fu panda will need abit of room as Madagascar has a nice footprint and shrek has a large area that includes he old spondebob flypants so there isn't really room for this new area in the old nick footprint so it will have to be totally built so The only areas they have is the old shop and lair or replacing wiggles area which I don't see happening
