It was the first fan kind of site you come across is what I meant. Sorry for confusing you. My point is, if a visitor is looking at goin to movieworld by doing a search they are likely to come.here. surely WVTP and ardent would appreciate the free advertising they recieve, good and bad. t's all bargaining chips hey
-
Yea thats what I'm saying cruiseshipfan . Dw really screwed themselves out of an awesome marketing tool hey....
-
Pics or it didn't happen.
-
That's true. Maybe use thr leftover chalk from the chalk zone and just draw arrows on the ground. Or get guests to do it...

A lot of good movies are converted to Imax. Dreamworld would have had more success upcharging for these upgraded imax films then asking people to go there for a movie they can see on a similar size screen. Imagine if DW advertised the Biggest screen in QLD. You could see Avatar, Tin Tin etc on a huge screen. Would have been a draw card for them and people would have made the trip to see it. I think they definitly made the wrong decision to remove it

Lol really ? That's hilarious... I think I read somewhere the animatronjcs on the new Madagascar ride in singapore are clearly stamped with the makers logo . To far haha

Sweet talk it Alex. We never know if we don't ask. You can always get a great deal if you know what to say. Positive thinking man. In a lot of ways, A Parks event has more benefit to MW than a TPR event. As the place to come for theme park enthusiasits visiting aus parks. Parkz is in a great posistion to not only Influence this market but to encourage change at the parkz. Tourism is down. the parkz need a long term alternative to help bring in revenue. The VIP Pass is killing our parks. This is evidenced by the small investment in dreamworld in what should be its biggest year WVTP and Ardent would benefit from giving its number one "fan created" website a leg up. All it takes is for someone passionate to ask for a good deal. If you go in asking for a shit deal that's what you'll get. If you ask for the world the worst they can do is say no. Do a google search for movieworld and the first forum that you see is this one. It would be good for the parks to realise the potential this place has for connecting to a market so why shouldn't we negotiate as good a price?

Hehe.. I wonder if stokes wheeler had a spike in web traffic following the posting of that pic. Show building or simply a bat shop rebuild? Qiestion. As someone who avoids peak times like the plague, does that Batman ride queue still fill up ?
-
Theming at dreamworld? Whack some paint on and call it done.
-
Tolly, this is what our parks should be creating. Rides you can ride again with diffrwnt sensations.etc. interactive or changing storylines.can make a ride.
-
I hate that dw took away the imax screen. Such a waste . No imax in qld anymore. When I worked at mw they use to pump the Asian tour groups through all parks in one day Seaworld in the morning Then to movieworld for lunch and Arvo Then paradise country for dinner. I feel so bad for those tourists sometimes
-
I like businesses sponsering as long as its not in your face. Castrol Edge stands out at mw, as does streets icecream. If it means more revenue thr parks can use back in the park why not? Just don't screw with the theming!
-
Wow... So does 9 million total cover both disk-o and rumoured ride? Kinda wished they'd invested and.held off. Turned that 9 into 18 and the.built something super major. Would rather see an amazing addition then two half assed

It's a new entry point for batman adventure. they are removing the batcave preshow and library theming. The library preshow wilbe.shown.in.the queue line. Guests will then board one of two modules. The main.queue, library, bat cave and 3/4 of exsisting module space will be leveled to clear room for new.attraction. I spoke to a guy selling Churros and this is what he told me is happening. Also, he said mw will be.toning down Halloween this year. No mazes, no scares. Trick or treating for kids aka mickey's not so scary.Halloween.at disneyworld.
-
Lol dj. I'm really keen for meet up at a park. Maybe a new thread is In order? Having a specific outside event will be way to costly (unless there is a wealthy member willing to pay our way _ which I doubt) so an in-park casual meet would work as well. Maybe a representative from parkz could contact WVTP or DW and sweet talk them into a behind the scenes thing much like TPR were able to achieve but at lesser cost. Mods - new thread?
-
For anyone who posts "i know what you don't know" type posts, they should have to send a message through to mod team stating what they know. Then if it turns out to be bullshit then you can ban the tools. I won't bother with this thread any longer. If mw announce plans ill come back and see how this thing flew.
-
Do I amuse you? I just don't understand what's going on in this thread. Am I missing something blaently obvious? I took the first post as a bit of a joke post. Never even thought that we were seriously going off a few pegs in the ground. Leave the thread for a couple of days and all of a sudden there's a Batman themed coaster going in? But I havnt read any actual proof of this? Just spec? Over 90 posts for some pegs? Am I missing something?
-
If they are truly putting in another Batman themed ride I think they need to consider changing the theming of the Gotham City hall.facade. Keep Batman all in one place. I have tried to follow this thread but can a moderator please confirm a new ride is actually being built? Or are we just speculating based on a.few pegs in.the ground and an approval to build a. Shop? Nate

Didn't see this posted anywhere else. Channel 7 news at 6 tonight (sunday) has a flashback to when Movieworld first opened. Might be interesting, might not. If this is posted elsewhere please remove! Nate
-
Sorry Gazza. Took these pics from inside my car as I ambled past. My first reaction was building supports as well.. No visible stickers on them and no signs screaming coaster supports
-
so i drove past dreamworld today on the way home from the new stadium at the gold coast, and took a few pictures of some bits and pieces lying around inside the cordened off section of carpark.. ne idea what this stuff is?
-
totally! some sort of Marvin the Martian thing would work as well I'm glad we havn't seen the animatronics on the back of a truck, they could re-use these in a shootemup as well
-
i dont know how many times I have posted this in one thread or another - but please let the new attraction be in the same vein as buzz lightyear at disney amazing ride - you can re-ride and still get a lot of enjoyment out of it... please mw! theme it to the wb characters if you want - just give us a family ride everyone can love
-
No one was pressing a button con. Just good timing. Foghorn's left arm would begin to raise and when it was around shoulder height he would begin to talk. it was up to the operator to keep up with the animatronics, not the other way around.. and trust me - after 40+ times doing that pre-show every day - you get use to the timing pretty quick

Hey guys, I didn't see this elsewhere, but THeme Park Review is currently touring Aus theme parks and they have posted a couple awesome POV's of Scooby with the lights on and Also superman escape. These POV were filmed with the permission of wvtp and are the best quality I have seen. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=58546&start=60 Link to the embedded videos. It's also interesting to read what some uber theme park fans think of our parks Nate
