The Seaworld's in the USA are also referred to as Marine Parks yet they still have loads of rides and themed attractions that are being added all the time!

Oh please DW stop.. just stop. The likes of Disney don't even know who you are, better still would they ever follow your pathetic example. And neither should (or will) anybody else, for that matter

All speculation at this stage, my guess is this will form part of the boarding area for the 3 floors connecting the 3 levels of motion bases/platforms that are yet to be assembled. The screen will roughly sit where it previously did. The current structure will extend 2 main lengths, (not yet built as I write this) each slightly longer than the existing first west side (pictured). Two rows of 10 and three levels of Gondolas will run North facing, connecting from the existing structure, onto the next etc. Best seats in the house would likely be ground floor, row 7-10 in the 1st bank and 1-3 in 2nd tower. Worse spots row lower ground 1-3/7-10 level 1. The edge seats up top on level 3 would also be impacted by the curve of the screen but can offer some bonus vertigo thrills. I believe a slightly smaller 4th tower will be attached to the 2nd ride tower (similar to the existing 1 shown) and serve as the general exit and structure support.

(From Disneyandmore) I have to share this!! What a beautiful Park. Shame about the Killer Whale show, which I am sure they would be better off without.🤔 Full article with loads more info, artwork and footage, go to: http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2018/09/shanghai-haichang-ocean-park-shanghai.html?m=1 Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park, Shanghaî Disneyland First Competitor, Opens on Nov 16! For Shanghaî Disneyland the times when the park could reign without no real competitor is over! On November 16 Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park, will open officially and the new park will be the next major attraction in the city with a trial run starting on Oct 1! The park also include a new themed hotel, which will also open on Nov 16, and will start to accept reservations from Oct 20. Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park was designed by Gary Goddard Entertainment - now Legacy GGE - who won five years ago in front of three others companies proposals, with the blue-sky design below. As a former WDI Imagineer Gary Goddard also designed many E-Tickets attractions for Universal Studios and Legacy GGE team include artists who also worked for WDI, all this to say that even if Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park is not a Disney park it was designed by people who know very well how to create quality theme parks. Below, renderings of the Blue Sky Concept design, first design for the park entrance, and the final design.

I'm thinking in the better interest of crowd flow - something that has always been an issue at MW. The entry to the Ricks Courtyard is a Staff door and not suitable for deliveries etc. Having larger gate access further north east of the lane way would certainly be more beneficial for Park deliveries outside hours and day access for Batmobiles etc. Obviously this ain't gunna happen anytime soon but maybe if oneday after the kid's area gets a facelift.. Same goes obviously for the Alley space through to Arkham. Gotham city was on an Island for years and it wasn't a problem for deliveries etc.

Yeah that err 'forced perspective" Alley way beside the Roxy? It's about time this lame lane area be opened up and connected with the Ricks Courtyard space not far on the other side of it.

Ain't it just hilarious when a newbie comes along and (despite being dissed for a variety of reasons) keeps coming up with all these great topics that everyone else just loves to keep talking about!😁

Spot on @Brad2912😁 With School Holidays under way, it makes zero sense to have major functioning rides closed part of the day while other major's remain closed: HOT WHEELS SIDEWINDER MAINTENANCE 20/08/2018 - 14/10/2018 TOWER OF TERROR II MAINTENANCE 15/07/2018 - 30/09/2018 GINGY'S GLIDER MAINTENANCE 12/09/2018 - 08/10/2018

Umm..I take it DW forgot to tell Ardent School Holidays have started?

How embarrassing.

Sure but how does an uninspired shopping mall style facade mix with early 20th Century Aviation? Answer: It doesn't. For what it's worth I think the i-ride facade is pretty much the template of what Ardent also want for their other i-ride locations.

They also relocated the Red Baron kiddy ride which originally sat where Gravitron went and Zumar chair swing from where Trolls Village is today. Tail Spin would be a much bigger job though, given the extent of landscape and themeing around the area, even for DW standards. Personally I think it's a great idea to re-theme the whole Gold Rush area to Aviation. - BUT it is an IDEA - For those on here that can be bothered searching topics, this whole Aviation thing was 1st dreamed up as a suggestion by one of you when that Terrible i-ride Artwork was released. Fast forward a couple of weeks to today and someone else has evidently stolen the idea declaring that they 'heard a Staff member say the new area would be Aviation themed..' hmmm...

So was everyone else. Missed opportunity TBH

Nothing. I think you are referring to the facade that houses the Movie Memorabilia store between the Roxy Theatre Entrance and Exit.

Studio Commissary and MW employee dining room (at least it was when I worked there). There is /was a pretty big kitchen in there where a.lot of food prep used to be done for the Park, Studios and Functions.

.. why can't they even have the actual Steam Train operating for this? Oh never mind, I forgot. . Dreamworld.

Hmmm.. 'and this time the Bushrangers will wreak havoc on the Dreamworld Express' The peeps at TPSN once again showing their age and lack of knowledge. Maybe they should consider a career at the Gold Coast Bulletin? In case you were wondering, the Bushrangers along with Ned Kelly once Hijacked the Cannonball Express daily. The Bushranger show from the banks of the Murrisippi on Captain Sturt also ran for many years after the train heist ceased way back in the 80's

$99? I can think of plenty of better ways to spend the money, in and outside of the Park.

Oh whatti looki here?

And Oh doesn't it all just.. Contrast ..?

So whereabouts inside the old Western Action venue is this thing going?

Considering the rest of WWW is pretty much unthemed, I wouldn't be expecting much more than some nice landscaping. My bet is for a lazy river, similar to the WnW one. The i-ride facade looks pretty uninspired but I must say it was a surprise to learn that DW's Accounting Department are also now in charge of Attraction design!

Ah Mr Jenkins.. I had all but forgotten about such dark times for DW when a used Car Salesman bought the place. Remind you of anyone?

@Roachie thanks so much for bringing this to us. A story that is totally underrated, have you thought about reaching a much bigger Audience with it? Also this: "but the best part [of owning it again] would be the excitement of doing it, because it was doing a beautiful thing.” - suggests to me that he still hasn't entirely ruled out the idea of buying DW back?Maybe he should get you to help him run it @Roachie?
