Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2023
Park Addict 93 replied to TBoy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
My personal thoughts at this point are management are just too proud to admit they made a mistake with this ride/scrap it. -
For what it’s worth they do 20% off 1 day tickets at the front gate (unadvertised) when there are this many rides down. Frankly the only time I think the park is worth the one day ticket cost is during the holiday events with extra entertainment (DC H&V, Hooray for Hollywood)

$9/$10 per month entry, depending on initial sign up. $12 per month entry and 1 entry each year to White Christmas, Carnivale and Fright Night, later purchases excluding Fright Night. $15 per month, as above + Wet n Wild Sydney access.

I have a friend that’s similar, may go a couple of times a year if that. I have no doubt VRTP have analysed membership pass usage closely and are well aware of the % of users that do not make frequent use of their pass. Considering the backlash I somewhat feel they would have been better off just terminating the membership program and offering the discounted One Pass rates. Possibly their agreement with DebitSuccess doesn’t allow this, no idea.

Could always be worse! We could be in 2007 where a 3 Park Pass with no events is $300. I think it’s a bit cheap of them to not give the normal renewal bonuses ($50 outback, $50 Animal Advemtures ect) considering they all require an additional spend.

I think double is too much and clearly intended to push people onto a One Pass and they are offering the renewal discount in an effort to further entice. This isn’t the first instance of the parks being greedy nor will it be the last.

Why do you feel entitled to pay $144 a year including fright night. Sure it sucks for those that are used to it but the park is not sustainable at that pass pricing.

Wet n Wild SurfRider taken off website
Park Addict 93 replied to Natti_amusements's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Correct, the plan is to restore the event to its opening standard from what I hear. Cautiously optimistic with the mixed bag of various things VRTP are doing lately.- 406 replies

Wet n Wild SurfRider taken off website
Park Addict 93 replied to Natti_amusements's topic in Theme Park Discussion
This is my thinking too, drawcard for each holiday period. June/July - MW special event September - Surfrider Dec/Jan - MW special event. I honestly don’t mind that it’s a similar colour scheme to SE, especially if it’s a Supergirl theme. Have a good entrance sign so those going to ride SE will notice, it’s not like Jet Rescue tucked away under the remains of a bridge.- 406 replies

There's no if's it has happened. Staff at GL and SE yesterday were all in the same polo.

Honestly don't mind the general new uniform/look in general but 100% think its a poor decision to take away specific themed ride uniforms, I think it detracts from the overall themed environment experience. Sure have uniform the same across front gate/retail/food and bev. But let the "Metropolis Rapid Transit" employee check my superman restraint. My understanding is Roxy is the only attraction that is retaining the "old" uniforms.

New Kids Ride at Movie World - April 2023
Park Addict 93 replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
For what it's worth I asked and was told it is part of "normal ride operation". I assumed initially too it was likely a temporary measure. -
Gold Coast Parks with a bandaged hand?
Park Addict 93 replied to wigginout's topic in Theme Park Discussion
@DaptoFunlandGuyis on the money that the best thing to do is visit GS on arrival. To get a general idea too the parks do have some info available online. https://movieworld.com.au/-/media/project/movieworld/files/safety-and-accessibility-guide/wbmw2210502-accessibility-guide-web.pdf https://www.dreamworld.com.au/park-information/accessibility-information/ When in doubt rides will also confer with Guest Services even if issued a medical communication band. I’ve had ride ops need to get the “all clear” from GS before sending the ride. -

Despite this it’s still the “Superman ride“. Thinking possibly Supergirl for Surfrider.- 406 replies

Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2023
Park Addict 93 replied to TBoy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Despite riding quite a few times these school holidays I hadn’t even picked up they were gone 😅. I hope new screens are installed at some point, redoing the safety video if they deem it be necessary and having other appropriate content would be great. Just hope they don’t hugely push advertising upcharge experiences on them. -
New Kids Ride at Movie World - April 2023
Park Addict 93 replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
What surprised me most about the ride is it has to be literally plugged in with a cord from the ops booth to release the restraints. -
I checked on if there was a single ride option back in December, no such luck. https://www.lunaparksydney.com/blog/the-twilight-pass-a-limited-time-offer - They do have a twilight ticket offer

Sea World Helicopters reopens
Park Addict 93 replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I certainly didn't expect them to reopen so soon, I wouldn't feel comfortable flying with them presently. The prelimanary ATSB report notes the following improvements. Worth noting the footer on the website has been updated to distance themselves from VRTP. Old New -

Park Addict 93 replied to REGIE's topic in Theme Park Discussion
This is my theory, Annual Pass prices dropped significantly and Twilight Tickets have been introduced. Merchandise pricing is even higher than Movie World.- 123 replies

Both SE and Rivals were operating with two trains yesterday. SE sewer/water effect working, as was the mist for entering/exiting the building.
