^ either option would work just fine.

But then the times just got wiped off so it was pointless anyway. Electronic boards would work much better but obviously the cost would be greater.

Seems to be a lot like what they have on offer at Disney's California Adventure and Epcot. I wonder whether they will / could extend it a bit further than just the train line and take it around the park before it opens (like DCA). I'd probably have a go if it weren't for the price.

This morning a Gold Coast Bulletin article revealed a lot as to what is in store next year at the parks. Now we already know that WNW is getting 4 aqua loops but this article starts some rumours about the other parks as well as some more information about WNW. The aqua loops are set to open by September and feature a smaller sized aqua loop. They claim Movie World will host a white christmas, Sea World will open a water related kids attraction (for kids aged between 5 and 12), Dreamworld will 'relaunch' one of their Big 6 in July & add another multimillion dollar attraction to add to the Big 6 and WhiteWater World will look at completing Phase 2 (actually 3) expansion. I thought I'd put up a series of polls to see what everyone thinks. http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2009/1...coast-news.html A second article accompanies the first but unfortunately is not online (as of yet) so I decided to type the first bit. Ashley Irvine (ash.1111 on these forums) was interviewed. The rest of the article speaks about the new Narnia Studio tour, MTV plugs in as well as Kasey Chambers and Sam Clark performing at WNW and MW over the holidays. So what do you guys think?

The video's on the Sunrise Website. Hopefully this will start a new trend studio tours for MW. Studio tours are the basis of movie parks after all.

The video of Sea Viper and Jet Rescue is now online on the Sunrise Website. There are also a collection of videos showcasing the marine animals at SW.

I agree with you there but the point I was trying to make is it seems like they are finding a brand before a ride - limiting the possibilities of a new ride immensely.

After reviewing a quick video that I shot last night, Noel Dempsey came on to the stage before the show and said: Sadly, I think this definitely shows what DW is aiming for: the incorporation of brands into everything they have: Mick Doohan, V8 Supercars, AVPX, MTV. Unless you can find a brand to match a major attraction, I don't think it will happen. On a lighter note this show was better than I expected and will be a good crowd soaker over the holidays.

I saw the launch of the show last night as a Platinum World Pass holder. They have removed the catwalk that was used in Big Brother and have place a whole series of ramps on the corners of the stage. For those that remember, there is a 2nd story platform on the right hand side of the stage where a DJ is. The show is a game show of sorts where half the audience is red while the other half is blue. One person is called out from each side of the audience and represent their team for the whole show. One game was a quiz about music, the second was a race to find the letters M-T-V around the stadium and the final game was a dance competition. The three games in the show were split up by two "mini-moto stunt-men" on the ramps as well as a group of three dancers and loud music mixed by a DJ. The stuntmen do some ramp to ramp jumps as well as a couple of jumps from the 2nd story platform down to the stage. Overall I would rate what I saw about 7/10. We saw it at night which was probably a better experience due to the greater impact of lighting. If your thinking of heading to Dreamworld over the holidays you should take 30 minutes out of your day to see it. In saying that I don't see the show as a major drawcard for the park.

^I agree but there would not be enough space unless they go into the carpark. As for different locations, I just saw this on Wet'n'Wild's Facebook The only problem with this location would be space requirements.

What I find funny is that WWW have only got one photo of their Hydrocoaster. The second shot on that page is of an installation elsewhere. Overall the website looks great but as Gazza said more images and video need to be included.

As much as I'd like it to be over by Mammoth Falls, I doubt it. At the moment I feel that Mammoth Falls is too much out of the way of all of the other rides. I believe its more likely that they will put it in the Extreme H2O Zone.

You missed the whole Batman / Doc Brown / mrt saga late last year. Check out some of the discussions started by them on page 2 of MW here. A lot of them really went nowhere and ended in some sort of argument or the deletion or banning of a user. Spencer, I hold nothing against you and I am sure the other members would still welcome you along. As for me, I can't come on the 29th.

Those two cars appear to be the Bonnie & Clyde cars from the left side of main street. If you look here you can see a different angle and can work out the shape a bit better. As for the police cars from PASS they appear to be at the northern end of the site behind the Looney Tunes Ride. See here. It appears that they have kept two and sold the rest.

Thanks Gazza for moving the posts.

WWW was rated better than WnW. Here are the overall results: DW 60 WWW 58 WnW 57.25 MW 53 SW 51.5 Hopefully these results don't discourage DW from adding anything good because they got a perfect score.

Sorry to bring back and old topic but photos have been added at Westcoaster for those that are interested.

Well according to the website its just Christmas: http://seaworld.myfun.com.au/Attractions/Rides/Sea-Viper.htm Hopefully a makeover is a little more than a new train and a coat of paint.
