Aquaman – The Exhibition at Movie World
Exactly @wikiverse or paint the word ENTRY on the roller door and maybe add a sandwich board out front? Either way, pretty simple cost effective fixes can be looked at. The back of the Park has always been a dead corner and will never be properly fixed till hopefully oneday opened up around the back of Scooby to create a 'loop' that connects the front to the back and as already proven effective on FN's.

Sorry but you are actually wrong there. All of these rides are 'cycle rides' - pretty much been DW's problem for decades. A cycle being that the ride has to come to a complete stop, unload the Passengers, open up all restraints, re-admit the next load, seat, check, re-spin/repeat. This makes for painfully slow moving lines and a 2 minute ride take 10-15 minutes even when the Q is small. MW by contrast has quite a few multi-unit and continuous loading rides that keep Visitors moving steadily through lines. Note how dull even a 15 min wait can be for Superman with 1 train running, with not even a phone to look down at and God forbid you are forced to chat with the People your riding with! Scooby, WWF, GL and Justice League are People Eaters designed to handle a US Park sized crowd. Despite a larger capacity, Sky Voyager is going to be yet another cycle attraction that no doubt DW will have running with just 1 Gondola in no time to save $$$. At least they are not going to have to worry about long lines when it opens at the quietest time of the year!

'Actions speak louder than words': Dreamworld is still a decaying, unreliable theme park
Grow up kids. Your another year older now so stop quarreling and start acting your age! You're right @Jdude95fuck Ardent. They really couldn't give a flying fuck about the well-being of DW or it's People anyway. Frankly, the sooner they piss off out of Australia, the better. We can only hope there is enough of a Dreamworld Theme Park left to salvage for a future Owner that has vision and know-how in Theme Parks to at least give the place a chance and some kind of tomorrow that it probably deserves.

Dreamworld / WWW Update
Absolutely no excuse. They could have dismantled and entirely rebuilt it for all the time it was closed last year. No wonder People don't trust them because they clearly have no idea how to run a Theme Park!

Are we days or weeks away from opening? Every day closed is a missed opportunity. The 26th-30th of December are historically the busiest days with crowds up to 5 times that of a low season day. I wonder how many Holiday makers will visit DW only if Skyvoyager is open? They should have thrown everything (short of putting a roll cage!) to get this thing ready on time.

History has shown that once a new ride is open, what we see is what we get. Some examples where the Show/Theme has been scaled back / below expectations from original plans on our more themed rides. - WWF. Version 1 and then worse, Version 2. - Justice League. - Superman - Storm. I hope for some minor technical adjustments to the existing show such as lighting but doubt Projection screens/so called mapping animation would be changed from what is already there. Are the colourful Lasers as per the Ad now working in the main room? Also a good amount of fog juice in that area would do wonders. @djrappa pointed out pink fog in the marketing image. Adding fog/mefog or steam to some parts of the dark ride section could also be a simple way to diffuse the lameness of some of those effects, effectively blurring the sightlines and adding atmosphere.

Cool new Batmobile.. Is it just me or does Batman look like he is wearing stone wash jeans?

They don't need to look to the Aviation Industry for Safety inspiration - that's what the greater Theme Park Industry is there for. But apparently they have never needed proper help, nor seem do they realise there is such a thing called IAAPA !!!

I can see that big white space looking all weathered and filthy. Let's give it a year. Long enough for it to become the new Owner's problem.

MW Fast Track price dropped to $99
Understandable. The spike in Visitor numbers over the coming weeks will be from Interstate visitors and many of which are time strapped. Regardless of this, demand for FT would increase relative to the increase in visitor numbers - proportionality significantly more so because of the increased visitor type. It baffles me why Passholes (thanks A-to-the-LEX-to-the-B,) still visit this time of year when they can go anytime. Blow out the Qs, piss off the Tourists and reduce per cap revenue for the Park.. ffs

Where is this Monster in the ride? This scene looks like a part of the ride and that Monster is definately new. Hard to believe they would build a set piece like that just for a commercial? As for the Projection mapping stuff, did all of that wind up getting poached by AOS?! Oh gee I hope I am joking! But seriously that "box" that encloses the turntable at the top, assume to be the spot for that "kaleidescope" effect as shown on the commercial. Oh Movie world, why must you always promise us the world only to give us.. reality 😕
