What can Movie World do to reduce the strain?
New display name replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
The fear that I have with MW is that new ride will pull in more people into the park then it can service. MW need to create something that is a crowd pleaser but not a crowed puller. (I still want a crowed pleaser but they need to sort this shit) Even though I know people have already mentioned that DW have the space, so it seems like less crowed and even thou this is true DW always seems to add something extra for the busy period. I can remember things like the diving show, the Mummy maze and one year I believe they even had extra rides. Could they not leave one of the Fright Night mazes setup but keep it closed and just reopen it for the busy periods? The maze in the old maverick show area would make sense to me. Most people that go to Fright Night would be locals so a tourist would think. “Oh well! this is new” -

Ha Ha, I always thought one Alex was good as the next Alex. Well not really. I agree dreaming has no place here, except for the 1.5 billion Powerball lotto draw tonight. @OceanGirl I agree that space is a problem and it does not help when china town is blocked off. -

@Alex Berriman not a bad idea but to work out what they are running at, you would need to count how many boats are running on WWF or even better how many riders per cycle. -

So with what people saying with the rides not running at 100% leaves me to think that it comes from the top to run the rides at 50% to save money. The only thing that makes me think why operations are that slow is to save money. Someone who has worked on the rides might be able to answer this but do the ride attendants have targets to work to? I don't know if the parks have this but I remember when my wife worked for Woolworths many many years ago she had a scan per minute target to reach. So if they do have a person per hour target to achieve then who is setting the target so low and why? -

Some very good points. One of the post on Facebook asked where are all the characters that MW had back in the day. MW said they don't stay out for long because of health and safety. If this is true would it not be easy for MW to set up an air conditioned room to help the people in the costumes stay out longer on hotter days. I don't think it would be hard for MW to create an area that you go into to meet them. They could even have different back drops that change with the characters. -

As per the skeetrate and what I witnessed a good number of the guest did not have vip passes. Skeetrate tells me, like most people that it's not worth going during this period but I only went because of my sisters kids. Things that piss people off that I witnessed is having a 40min wait for the bumper cars when people can see clearly 6 empty cars siting on the side doing nothing. People who go to parks a lot would look at the empty cars and come up with a different conclusion to someone who goes once in a while to why the cars are not being used. DW this year stayed open late, had extra characters in the park and even spent money on the beatbox. MW did open early for vip people but only ran 2 rides and what could you do with your kids while you went on superman. -
I did something last week that I never do and now I feel shame. My older sister came up to the Gold Coast from South Australia last week with her kids that I had never met before. Also I found out that her kids had never been to a theme park so I took them to MW, SW & WNW. From that comes my discussion. I could not believe how quickly MW becomes shit with large crowds. MW failed in every possible way that day. MW did nothing this year for its Christmas guest. 3 hour wait for scooby-doo is unacceptable. My sister got there when the park opened. I arrived just over an hour later and they were still in line. Some people might be saying to themselves Skeets lost the plot again, it didn’t take 2 hours to ride the WWF well guess what it did. I think Skeets drinking again, did he just say 30mins to get a drink refill. Don’t believe the SKEET then go to MW facebook page and look at the reviews for the last 2 weeks and then compare it to all the other parks. MW has been an epic fail this holiday period. When I go to a park and I see a que, I give it a skeetrate. No I did not make that word up it’s just how things are done. Skeetrate = time in que divided by quality of ride and then you times by the chance you get to ride it again. In short (t/q)x r= Skeetrate. Nothing at MW gave me the answer I needed to ride it. Don’t get me wrong I want MW to be busy but it still has to be worth going too. Would you pay to see ACDC in concert but told you had to sit outside or sorry but you can only listen to one song. MW needs to find a way to soak up the crowds during the busy times. Which comes back to my discussion on what MW needs to do to fix the overcrowding in the park?

If bind is the correct term then I think it does bind up a little. I can't tell if the rider keeps it going or the momentum pushes it past the bind. I suspect it’s the swinging causing it to bind.

I don't know if it's GAMEOVER or GAME OVER. Some of the pictures they put up have it one way then the next one has it the other way. To find it the Facebook page is Game Over GC. I have never ridden a Zip Coaster with a lift hill before.
-
It is at Gameover which is on the other side of the M1, across from Movie World. I think I will just have to try it out for myself. If you go to the Gameover facebook page you will find a video on it.

Has anyone had the chance to ride the new Zip Coaster yet?

It's the correct attitude when your young one is always watching it. My wife just tells me to exit the house. -

So exiting. Get to watch a movie that came out 2 years ago. -
What smoke. my old Datsun 180b had more smoke and the figure eights they do are not really stunts. It's a joke.
-
It was not to bad today. The overflow carpark was empty. I think they need to dump the current stunt show and start again. From my memory I think there where more car and bike stunts when it was the police academy show. Two cars came out 3 times and did a few figure eights. The rest of the show put me to sleep.
-
Thought I would write a review on HWSD2 since I finally got to see it today. As most people know, I am a man of many words but all I could come up with is "it's shit".

I will put my house in it that they got all the information from parkz. No way they went back through 10 years of applications and found the old approval for the hotel. -
Is was going tonight at White Christmas but it was empty.
