  1. No signage is not fixed. It currently states: GREAT RIDE Batman Adventure Batwing Spaceshot. There is no signage whatsoever informing of the JL ride. I actually had someone in front of me in the "lego" room who when they saw the carriages commented, "I thought it was a walkthrough" and also someone when picking up the glasses state "Oh my God, it's 3d, this should be cool." Guessing these people have not seen the tv spots. Other comments though outside were nothing but praise for the ride and experience before dragging others on that originally didn't go on it.
  2. The staff today were allowing people to take hats, sunnies, bags and so on intot he queue line with them and then were being stored at the load/unload platform. The lockers were working correctly as many others were placing their items in them during the day. Is this a move from MW to cut back on complaints over "forcing" people to use the lockers? Or just one staff member not doing their job correctly? Also noticed they have now put up a temporary barrier near the JL exit to block of the chained area people were jumping. Hopefully the move of entrance point happens soon as it does look a little tacky.
  3. As entering park today staff were asking people if they were likely to go on the ride as they were handing out the wrist bracelets for the photos. Issue with this is that when loading onto the ride the attendant is not informing people to scan the bracelet so no one is being able to use this system properly. Went on the ride twice, both walk on. All animatronics were moving around instead of static. Screens seemed a lot better and synced with the carriages going past. Scores for today: ride 1 = 89,720... ride 2 = 103,395 both were with 2 other people in the carriage. There is no signage stating technical rehearsals, however, I noticed that a fair few people were walking up to the area outside the ride and stating, thats an amazing building or it looks just like the one from the cartoon and then walking away... I looked around and noted that although the Batwing and Green Lantern have huge signage, there is none for the JL ride. Went to guest services and queried if they would be putting in some sort of signage as being walk on twice during the day while no shows are running while SE and GL have 30 min wait times was weird. Was informed that it is still in its technical period but it is definately something they will have to look at as they had received a few enquiries today about the location of the new ride.
  4. No... Where am I discounting everyone's opinion? Hydrocoaster... Not hydroslide... It incorporates magnets to counteract the normal forces of a slide therefore it cannot be classified as a slide. Aqualoop meanwhile, sit and slide down on water... Does fiberglass walls sound better? The variety in coasters comes from different types, ie suspended, stand up, launched and so on. A slide is a slide...
  5. Did I say all coasters are the same? No, I agreed with the "whats the point of spending all that time just sitting there on Arkham Asylum slowly going up the lift hill, when all you do is just roll downhill and through a few loops for a minute or so, only to go out the exit ramp and ride it all again." comment you made. Of course Superman and Green Lantern have a different feel. I like Superman for the pre coaster section. But other coasters, as you mentioned, are a long lift hill and then rolling downhill with a few inversions. How are slides not all the same? Go downhill in a tube on water until you hit a pool...
  6. That is my thought on coasters which is why I am not a fan of them either. and joz, like this is the most pointless comment ever made in a topic... I just personally don't see the big excitement about the fact they have put in another slide... Ultimately they are all the same. Sit in a tube and look at the plastic walls until you get to the splashdown.
  7. To be honest, there are only two reasons I go to WnW... The wave pool and calypso beach. I do not see the point of walking up so many flights of stairs, standing in a queue, normally wet and in the wind just to spend 30 - 60 seconds sliding back down to do it all again.
  8. I found that you can ideally hit 5 targets before the first lights up again so just get in a pattern and good to go. That's how I got 73,000. (That and I think a couple of targets did not go out and I scored some bonus points for just hitting it over and over.) Are the lasers staying on for the final "showdown" with Starro yet?
  9. The fire that destroyed the top I guess he is referring to. They left that for way too long with the exposed and warped beams.
  10. But senior management do dictate the way things get done. Poor management leads to poor work being done by the employees. Let us say a junior staff member finds a more efficient way of doing things than the current policy. They present it to the senior management who tell them to do it the way the policy states and not their way. Poor management has prevented increased productivity which would directly affect revenue and the overall customer experience. This in turn would affect how successful the business could become and repeat customers.
  11. So we are now saying that it is not that managers rush staff that this happens but that the staff have no customer service skills? That is much better...
  12. At least MW makes things correctly and to order. I bought a quarter pounder a couple of weeks back and they put a lamb patty on it that was half cooked. Meanwhile everytime I go to MW I ask for no salsa on fully loaded nachos and it is right everytime. Maccas can't get a staple of the restaurant correct but MW can get a special order right... That isn't presumptuous, that's fact.
  13. So long as the food is worth the price who cares? I pay the same now for a nachos at MW ($16.95) that I did 7 years ago despite the size difference (a fair bit smaller), but they still taste great and fill me up everytime. So they are worth it.
  14. Just got off the ride... Themeing is amazing, little disappointed with the "manequin" look of the people on the street scene, but otherwise thoroughly enjoyed it. First time score = 73,395. Lasers turned off before the final scene. Also spoke to a supervisor and queried the bracelet scanner and was told that it was for a new on ride photo system they will be putting in place on various rides. It will log the photo id with the bracelet making it easier to view and purchase your photos. There is currently no plan to put in a way of storing your score or having a leaderboard for the day of scores, not even a score of the day. A little off topic but from the same supervisor, they will be moving the entrance for GL back to the doorframe leading into the area with the Green Lantern Corps in an effort to remove the current issue of people jumping the chain near this area.
  15. I'm with bert. And I know most people here are mad happy about this ride being here, hell, they could have made it a Willy Wonka ride where you have to shoot the oompa loompas and I would have loved it for the fact it is a dark ride to replace the 2 we lost, and personally, not another rollercoaster.
  16. Make it 4... The image on the commercial is Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D - The Ride.
  17. Noticed on seek that Village is looking for an MOD for the nara resort... Hmm... My sorta job... Fly resume fly!!!
  18. A little off topic but, I can now see why you guys find me so amusing sometimes... This is giving me a good chuckle on an otherwise boring day at work
  19. No, we were sitting near the ride from 10:00 until around 14:30 before we had to leave so I could go to work... After sitting there that long waiting had we been able to stay another 90 mins we would have been on it... Well I would have, wife waslooking after the little one and going on Green Lantern while we waited.
  20. So we missed it by 90 mins... After sitting there since 10am... Dammit. Oh well got Tues and Weds off so will be down there to do it all again.
  21. So Gazza, what time did you end up getting on the ride? Want to know by how much we missed out after almost 4 hours of sitting around waiting before calling it a day.
  22. Been waiting for this to open since park opened today. They started with we are hoping it will be open later in the day, and the word now is "It hasn't officially opened so we cannot say if it will be opening today." or "It is opening sometime these holidays." depending on which attendant you ask... Their FB page = It’s official you will be able to join in the ultimate battle between good and evil on Justice League 3D The Ride THIS WEEKEND! Again, I understand opening ride jitters and bugs, but when no ones story on the day matches... Looks like another bravo to PR!!! Also noticed the merchandise with the star pods in the DC store have Justice League: Alien Invasion 3D on them. Guessing this would be due to the name change at the last minute.
  23. So confirmed open to public day tomorrow? Don't want to have to go through getting the little man sorted to go there if not. I know if it doesn't due to opening day bugs nothing can be done.
  24. Also think about the fact it is a family ride... Much easier to explain to kids, shoot the stars rather than, shoot the extraterrestrial humanoid...
