But I do remember going there quite a bit in the mid 90's with my nan and it was always very busy. Then I went there about 2 years ago and it was in the most dead, depressing, derelict state. I was surprised it was even open and there was next to no one there. I really hope they can restore it to its former glory.

No problem! Me too, theming can do wonders for such a simple ride. PS What did you think of AW?

^ As I thought. I was just asking Ride_Me if the CGI design was similar to the hand drawn one.

^ Oh that's the one I was talking about Is that considered CGI though? I really don't know lol. PS It looks like there's going to be a little water playland at the bottom. Wonder if that will eventuate...

America has the population to sustain these massive theme parks, Australia (especially somewhere as remote as WA) does not.

Did the cgi picture look similar to the original illustration with the structure covering the top part of the ride?

^ BIG THANK YOU

Looking good! Thanks for the updates.

Who in their right mind would invest 4bn on a theme park in WA of all places. WILL NOT HAPPEN trust me.

Thanks Ride_Me for the pics!! I am so happy they've painted the awful green. Great update and I look forward to seeing it take shape even more! PS Welcome to the forum.

Sorry but it's a bit annoying to open threads with new posts and to find they're all about spelling / punctuation errors. Surely it can be done on profiles?

Yikes. Movie World without Superman is pretty dire these days. It's basically the equivalent of MW almost a decade ago give/take one ride. That is definitely the one ride they cannot afford to close.

They must've had a sale on Batman

Where will they be and what type of new rides will they have? Edit: 100 posts for me :D

No offence but B&M's aren't unique at all especially in America where they're a dime and a dozen. It WOULD be unique in Australia but then again anything can pretty much be unique here since we don't have a lot of anything lol. I mean it was only recently that we got our first Disqo (or however you spell it) ride which have been around for yonks now. Imo El Loco's are far more unique.

I do remember seeing some tbh. No I don't agree. Movie World isn't 6 Flags MM which rely on keeping up with all the biggest + best coasters. Exactly. Scooby isn't the most technologically advanced or expensive coaster but it's probably the most fun I've had on a rollercoaster. That's simply not true sorry. The standard B&M is $20 million - that's double the price. They certainly wouldn't get double the return.

Thanks Luke! I am SO excited about this ride. I know there's been some negativity around here because its not a "B&M" but let's face it, its not wise for Movie World to spend 3 times the money on a rollercoaster that isn't going to have much more of a return that this one. I'm happy and I can't wait to ride it Also, this ride >>>> Crudsaw.

Holy crap it's going to cost 1.5 billion. HUGE investment - but I think it will pay off. It'll be a destination park and one of a kind. They'd be wanting 3-4 million each year at LEAST to come through the doors.

I've lined up well over an hour for the Cyclone on numerous occasions too and it's not even that good of a ride. Ugh

^ Hehe. I wouldn't know, I never visited the place. @ Ocean Girl. I LOVE that video. It's stunning (and sad at the same time).

^ No I havent and I won't be making a special trip to go ride it because it looks pretty uneventful.

^ Yep sounds good!

I think there is a misconception about it being a smaller park because its not in the Six Flags / Disney / Universal brands. But apparently attendance is over 1.5 million a year which is certainly bigger than any of our parks.

Yassss this will be fun! I've spent all afternoon and night reading up on SFNO and although I think it would literally be impossible to revamp that place and turn a profit, I'll certainly give my ideas
