I got to experience Sky Voyager for myself yesterday. This is truly a ground breaking attraction and one that our Aussie Theme Parks should be very proud, if not least envious of! SV is 100% the Industry game-changer that DW needs right now and possibly the sleeper hit for Gold Coast Theme Parks this Summer and beyond. Please take my advice when I say It is best experienced from Gondola 2 (middle) on the ground floor. Enjoy!

The lower floor is on ground level and completely wheelchair accessible. I am sure they have a procedure to accommodate guests with disabilities. The lower floor is frankly the better experience anyway with Gondola 2 in the middle offering the best 10 seats.

There's an emergency exit door at the bottom of each loop

No need to apologise! My point is that when it comes to Food&Bev in our Australian Theme Parks, we are simply not offering our GP what they are asking for/want.
-
Thanks @pushbutton but that wasn't entirely my point! Ugh..anywho...

Rick's Market Place excuse me? Did we just decide to change movie history with an otherwise iconic MW facade? Frankly, this looks about as effortless as any other Australian Theme Park food offering before it. Have we not learned anything? -Apparently the People of Australian Gold Coast Theme Parks have TiT's all knowledge on what modern Australia (Or ThemeParks in general for that matter) taste like.. or what practically anyone wants! - Better still a family of 5, where a 'measlely' lunch price of 'just' 104 bux? Hmm. Yup, nice to know you are in touch with your Crowd Big G, well done!

With premovie ads etc it was just over 3 hours, so regardless it was a long time to be sitting anywhere! Rotten Tomatoes have it at about 90% audience and 68% critic's, so overall positive. Terrific Character development and more jumps than the first installment. Plenty of Surreal moments too. I thought it was about as close to the book as you could make the movie without the film having to run significantly longer. In saying that, the book had more than enough content that they could have broken the whole thing down to 3 full length features.

Watched IT Chapter 2 today. Wows's that's a long flick. But beautifully done and reminded me so much of Stranger Things. Ironic given ST was inspired by IT? Can't wait to see what they do with the Maze!🎈
-
So.. after you exit Scooby-doo you find the entire back of the Park is closed right now? Village Theme Parks put out a gushy Ad campaign and then they do this. OK that's fucked.

I love this! MW owns Fright Nights while DW provides a Family orientated alternative. Power to them.. -

Looks like Budget cuts happened to the Fountains? Hope not. -
That's fine but as it falls on a weekend, can you get a Medical Certificate please?

Bugga.. As much as that is a shame it's probably a more sound Business decision to stretch such a big total investment over a longer time. Guess they will also be keeping the Skyflyer a little longer then huh? -
IT was. Oh, funny haha

When you ride Pandamonium, before you get on, watch the carriages carefully. There will be two (opposite each other) that operate more swiftly than the others do. When the cars do the change over swing, it is these two cars that you want to be riding on as they switch back the other way every single time and give the most exhilarating experience! Often most the others won't. I love/hate this ride. LOVE IT for the thrills and the G's. HATE IT for the headache it often gives me after 😊 Oh and Movie World, you need to put in a HUSS Super Jump if LP won't... and... STAT! PLEEEEEEEEEASE!
-
Yup I reckon you're on the money there A-Lexi-B! Maybe get @Slick to double check with ol'mate Johnny?
-
It was also a direct-to-Video release. Say no more.

I'd love to ride a HUSS Giant Jumper in one of our Parks and think it would be a great fit for Luna Park Melb. Also another swing ride. As much as I love Wave Swingers, I think a Sky Swing that rises way above the Scenic Railway and tall enough to be a real draw and add to the Park's Skyline. (Much as SW's new Triton will).
-
Sorry @Skeeta but the original IT film was a B grade Telemovie at BEST! The new feature film reboot was Superior in every respect. AND Thankfully presented in two Big chunks, making this IT so much easier to watch. Oh and yes, I am very much old enough to lay shit on the Original IT, so there😊
-
Exactly. And it is a very Technical ride with motion, sound, fx, projection etc all needing to sync up. The more complex rides tend to have more teething problems and problems that only tend to show up after frequent and continual operation. Disney does this with their rides for a good 3-6 months before opening and apparently that is the reason why Rise of the Resistance has been pushed back so much.
-
Really still down? Must be something pretty major.

I'd call their Guest Services and check 1st @westical

I love the Enterprise and hope they keep on restoring it for as long as possible. I miss not having my Enterprise fix from DW nowadays. Tailspin simply doesn't cut it.

Thanks for bringing us all such a detailed update on LP Melbourne @Jobe. Hopefully we will see LP Melbourne move ahead with plans in both maintaining their existing gems along with introducing some decent new ones soon. Oh and I thought it was worth re-posting this in attempt to block out a certain feeble response.
