I don't actually mind that roof... It was actually needed, because standing in line for 45 minutes waiting to buy tickets in summer is NOT good! I have a feeling there must have been a sale on roofs this year

Oh, does he now work in the Mummy? I thought I saw someone that looked a bit like him...

Yes, I think that would have been Movie World's "Dark Period" that they went through. I also remember the strikes with the Looney Tunes characters. I just find it odd that they are cost cutting like this when I know for a fact that staff just up the road at Dreamworld get paid ALOT more money for doing the same job than WVTP (If your under 21 that is, as Dreamworld doesn't pay Jr. Rates) I really hope that this isn't a indicator of what is to come...

New "Spelling Nazi" Anyone? Anyway, I have this week off so I might head down to Movie World later in the week and take a few photos.

I really hope that your being sarcastic.

For a Mine Themed train that was just mentioned... go onto RCDB and search for "Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain" I'd love to see something like that

LOL! Sounds like the Bush Beast... but with added airtime

Hmmm... Considering we allready have Scooby Doo... and whats that? A WILD MOUSE Also apparently GhostRider runs like crap these days anyway. So if they want to do a woodie right... A smaller one like BALDER would be good. Intamin Plug n Play all the way!

Wow... it seems they royally screwed SurfRider eh?

Corkscrew goes 140k's!? Since when... maybe 75k's tops... Just like the monorail says it goes 100k... They really need to update that

Wow, this ride is looking alot more promising as the weeks go by. Sort of in between MDMC and SE. It should be interesting to see how it progresses!

Yikes! None of that was there yesterday when I was there! I can't wait to see the photos.

Well, seeing as there isn't a Database entry for The Mummy attraction I thought that I may as well upload a picture of inside the attraction. The photo just shows the internal queue area and the entry facade. Enjoy! And no I wasn't too lazy to create a Database entry, I did but it was rejected due to a site decision not to include these tempoary mazes in there databases anymore. EDIT: Sorry if the Quality isn't the best... it was taken on my phone but I hope it's ok

Klassen, The theatres back onto what I would presume is the Control room for the Spooky Coaster. They are still intact and there are 3 of them from memory. Sunday was just scary... Scooby doo and Superman were both having issues... Scooby's line was 45 minutes long... lethal around 30 minutes, Superman was running VERY well for 1 train operation with queues around 20 minutes and Batwing was a walk on.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with the attraction, having been on it myself before. It was just a poorly made decision for that time. Lets just hope the new CEO has his head screwed on. I say bring John Longhurst or Tony Braxton Smith back!

I actually don't think FlowRider was THAT bad of an addition... It brings in some extra profit for the park, but it would have been much better suited for WhiteWater World. I reckon they should make the entry to FlowRider inside WhiteWater World with the addition of a WaveLoch attraction. Steve Peet could be an interesting replacement for Stephen Gregg, he seemed to have his head screwed on with a say in Superman: Escape, SurfRider and Batwing Spaceshot. And as previous people have said we need someone that isn't afraid to spend money on the park, maintaning it for this generation and the next generation. As someone once said "Sometimes you need to spend money to make money"

Yeah I was thinking that too... But still Kevin Bradley knew what he was doing... Maybe they should get Tony Braxton Smith back I know he brought the Cyclone... but we can forgive him for that one I think

OMG... Please tell me it's true! I'm sorry but his recent decisions with the park have been rather poor ones. I mean the Claw was good and so was White Water World etc. But things like the Flowrider could have been done alot better. Personally I would have liked to see Kevin Bradley take the reigns (the ex COO who was made redundant a month or so again) He was a really nice guy and seemed to have his head screwed on.

Hmmm... I never thought of it like that Gazza, but it raises a very valid point. It would be good if someone was able to do some delving into why it was closed. It sucks because the only real dark ride we have left in Australia would be Bermuda Triangle (not including little ghost trains like at Luna Park) And we need something to fill the void. There has also been rumors for quite a while about a 3rd Gremlins Movie, so if that does happen I'd love to see Movie World re-incarnate this family classic.

I don't think a Vekoma Pandora's Box has ever been made. I always thought that one of these could be themed very nicely to the Matrix Films.

It would have to have been my favorite ride as a Kid, followed closely by Bermuda Triangle. I mean I love the Spooky Coaster, but I still find it a bit sad that they replaced the Gremlins Ride. I had very fond memories of it and even Beetlejuice was hidden inside the ride. I was so happy when I had my orientation down there at Christmas time because our training was in one of the old Gremlins cinemas. They are still fully intact inside the buliding. When you are in the main foyer for the Spooky Coaster there is a fire door on the left hand side. Just inside there the whole corridor and cinema's are still intact. It was a major walk down memory lane for me. Even my trainer said "For some of the older members you might remember this hallway from the Great Gremlin's Adventure Ride" and I just said "Hey... i'm not that old!" Ah... good times.

I felt the same way about the mummy... The theming is AMAZING, but I didn't really encounter many actors. But I couldn't help but laugh at the person that randomly screamed "DEATH" at me. And just a warning... if the line is much out of the door there will be around a 30 minute wait as the line actually goes inside the building for 3 switchbacks. Overall I thought it was a step down from Nightmares as far as the "scare factor" goes... but the theming was just amazing. As far as all the scare attractions go this is how i'd rank them overall... Tomb Raider: ENTER THE TOMB, Nightmares: Angoscia, Nightmares: Freezer and The Mummy

What do you expect? It's made by our Italian friends at Pinfari

Would have been Jennie Pell's "Python Loop" that is owned by Show West.
