As one of the three rides the little man can go on (Tweety Cages, Yosemite Railway and the WB Carousel), we would. I can't say I have a favourite ride. They all have their plus and minus, some days you feel like riding a certain one or two, other days you don't. Ask again once JL is open and i may have an answer to this question.

TO SYDNEY!!!

I always thought they should have updated the Movie Magic Stage to a Matrix based special effects, maybe show how it used to be done and then the new ways they bring it to life. Hell they could still do it and show the rig they used to bring the Bat to life if they want to keep adding DC related attractions.

Again, thought nothing of it at the time, but it does add fuel to the fire however loosely in regards to this rumour. I doubt they would change it from WBMW. However with small elements of the HWSD having been removed and the fact it is a smaller budget "ripoff" of the LMA show, it is now basically 10 minutes of figure 8 drifting with some 2 wheel driving and a motorcycle doing a few wheelies back and forth. If I wanted to see that (not the 2 wheel driving) I would just go down the coast on a Friday and Saturday night.

Every time I post I get targetted... What is wrong with people here? Others post bull faecal matter rumours, I post fact. Their comments get praise, mine negativity. Sorry to point out the factual crap that occurs, but at least I don't generate tripe that has no backing whatsoever. I didn't post this when I occured because I thought nothing of it, but posted it now as in a way it shows some support, however loosely, to this current rumour.

I know it is basically reaching just thought it was interesting given this rumour. It wasn't just one staff member, it was 3 different staff from different areas of the park. And I thought it was an odd comment to make as well, but there was no discussion prior, just me with my Marvel Heroes shirt (basically the Avengers plus a couple of others).

Probably nothing but, was at MW 2 weeks ago and had a lot of staff comment on the Marvel Heroes shirt I was wearing saying "You do know you are at a DC park?" Wouldn't have thought much of it except it was at Scooby, HWSD and WB Kids Zone, not in the DC area. If removing HWSD is correct and replacing with a Batman show it adds fuel to the idea previously mentioned in the forums of turning MW into a new park completely DC themed. Of anything they could have rethemed LW they went Arkham. Everything they have added (outside the Roxy movie changes) over the last few years has been DC related. Sure all the DC movies have been WB related but there have been more than just DC movies from WB over the last few years. Why is there nothing based on them?

We went on Sunday. All the main rides were 45min - 1hr wait times and that was during the HWSD morning show.

We just plug the vhs into our computer use a screen capture program and then burn to dvd. Very simple process to do at home. As I said though, can't find the old vhs as it was before I moved out of my parents place many years ago. They have since moved and whether or not they kept the particular tape I don't know.

Just reading through the wikipedia of Movie World to notice it is rife with inaccuracy and missing quite a few attractions through its history including Superstars Live! and the Harry Potter experience. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warner_Bros._Movie_World

Looking back at it, other than the 2 loops it was not much at all. In saying that though it was the first rollercoaster I even went on and sadly my wife was too small to go on it before it was closed and later removed. I think it's time to get back to RCT3 and re-ride it utilizing dads movie projector.

I must admit... I wept a little watching the Dreamworld 1988 ad. Brought back so many memories as a little kid getting my first ride on Thunderbolt, the policeman checking my "license" on the Model T Fords, the barbershop quartet signing in Rivertown, the minecart... Those were the days. When we were too young to care about costs, companies, record breaking rides. We felt like we were walking right into a land that could only be created in our dreams. I had the old MW souvenir video that had a hidden message which you had to pause the tape at the right times throughout to piece it together. A friend and I also taped a whole Police Academy Stunt Show back in 2000 from two different sections of the audience and pieced it together. Wish I could find it and convert it to dvd.

I had one ride where a guy the row in front of me had snuck his camera on. He held it above his head at the launch. I remember it flying over my head as we took off. Was in the last carriage so doubt any injury occured. Also know that a bag has fallen out of a carriage on Scooby, reportedly cracking one of the mirrors on the floor.

I used to go into the park on my solo days with just my car key and my annual pass. I had pants that had zip up and press clip pockets which I put them in. If asked by an attendant I told them I had the stuff and showed the pockets and explained I had no cash on me and had only brought those 2 things into the park today. Majority of times they allowed me to continue onto the ride.

No age restrictions but every ride has its own height restrictions on riding alone or with an adult. However with the taxis and bumper cars obviously you don't have room for parents which is why I found it interesting they don't post this information on their website.

So we were heading down to Helensvale Shopping Centre on Thursday and the wife decided we should call in to MW so she could go on a ride or two since she hasn't been able to for the last 9 months. Of course the park was busy and Green Lantern was down (again or still) so she ended up not going on anything, until we wandered through to the WB Kids Zone and she decided it would be nice to take bub on his first ride in the Carousel. 9 days old and already hitting the rides. Then headed to the Ice Age 4D and must say I LOVE the fact they have returned Roxy to the 50's / 60's feel of an old theatre. Even the girl working the attraction had her hair done in an era relevant style. It is small attention to detail like this that impresses me about MW. Movie itself was well done, would have been nice to have been able to sit in a motion chair but as the little man was sleeping in my arms was not an option. Small side note: Checked the website to see if there was anything bub could go on. States WB Kids Zone has no age restriction... But the taxis, sylvester bounce and tweety cages all have restrictions posted (which is fair enough). Obviously at 9 days old it makes no difference to us now but for someone with a 4 year old thinking they can get on anything in that area only to read otherwise at each attraction is something that may cause an issue at some stage. Also Journey to the Centre of the Earth is still listed on the restrictions page. Hopefully this is corrected soon.

As westical said though, or older viewers. I don't know about anything after red, blue or yellow...

Update for some shows: 1:25pm - Wonderwoman vs Cheetah fight - Near lockers behind photoshop. 1:30pm - Tweety & Sylvester song - Under big screen main street.

So we welcomed our little man yesterday (26/06/2012). After a bit of a delay we had an extremely quick labour (3 hrs total). The midwife made the comment afterwards "He went from zero to one hundred in like two seconds." He has now been nicknamed Superman and will be wearing his superman suit we bought last week when we next head down there for photos with the Justice League group.

Approx ride times displayed were: Batwing 30 mins Superman 15 mins Arkham 30 mins Scooby Doo 45 mins Wild West 15 mins

My thoughts as well. I personally doubt it will get that bad... Not like they are 21 ounce cups.

The old outfit. Not sure the Arkham outfit would go down too well at a family friendly theme park.

Taj is white. Rama and Sita are pale orange. Sultan is orange. This information is brought to you care of looking at the Dreamworld website...

So the wife and I went to the park today for our last time for the next few months. Had a wonderful day thanks hugely to the guest services representative we spoke to when we arrived. Before we walked under the arch MW have one of the animatronics on display advertising Dinosaur Island. As the wife is 39 weeks 3 days (4 days from due date) we hired a wheelchair. The representative then was nice enough to show me the days run sheet for the dancers as well as the show and entertainment team detailing all the minor shows and appearances throughout the day which will remain in effect until at least the end of the school holidays with the big focus on the DC characters. We continued up main street to see the Joker and Harley Quinn photo op outside the Roxy theatre which was getting a lot of light bulbs replaced ready for its relaunch for Ice Age 4. We passed forced perspective alley where Star Sapphire and Cheetah had their photo op. Headed in to the 11:00am HWSD which was probably one of, if not the best overall show I have seen despite a couple of small hiccups. We headed back to forced perspective alley so I could take in the eye candy that was the Catwoman dance at 11:30am (definately one for the males in the audience). Wandered out to Arkham Asylum, Superman Escape and Batwing before trying to see anything in the Justice League building with no luck. Green Lantern was testing almost all day and I have to mention that the carriages were going extremely slow, as in almost stopped going around the outside bank and through the corner into the twist. Work seemed to be continuing on two carriages with a section of the harness removed on both. Went to the Dirty Harry bar for our standard nacho lunch where I bumped into the Food and Beverage manager who stated that at this point in time there will not be a bottomless soft drink option at Rick's when I queried. There was also mention of the size of the souvenier cups given the recent rulings on the available sizes of cups in America (super size) and that we may soon see the souvenier cups decrease in size further. Returned to the top of main street for the Marilyn performance (12:35pm) which still pulls quite a decent sized crowd. Stayed to watch the Batman - Shadows of Gotham show (1:00pm) which still entertains but given they were advertising Dark Knight Rises just before seems a little dated. Given that the morning HWSD show left such a positive image, we decided to give the afternoon show a miss and went for a walk through the WB Kids zone. Speedy Gonzales Tijuana Taxis looks almost new given the fresh lick of paint and new covers on the cars themselves. Must agree with whoever commented on the viewing area for Road Runner Rollercoaster that if you did not know that it is an old queue you would not know, let alone the fact that the studio building actually houses a SBNO ride. Railroad is currently down, looks like it is receiving a fresh lick of paint as well. Returned to the Bonnie and Clyde bank (2:00pm) for the Wonder Woman routine (as the show and entertainment staff member referred to it as it lasts no more than 2 minutes). Stayed at the top of main street for the Batman and Harley Quinn routine (2:15pm) during which Batman wears a grey and black fabric suit as opposed to the black rubber suit, and Scooby Doo Disco Detectives (2:40pm). Did some window shopping before seating outside the Kodak store for the DC Comics Star Parade (3:30pm). This saw the return of the destroyed street float for Star Sapphire and Cheetah as well as a dance routine by the Joker and "his girls". As the parade continued we see that Batman is being held captive by Star Sapphire and so the Justice League appears to save the day. All up main street we have Hawk Girl taking on Harley Quinn, the Flash taking on two masked bandits (HWSD cast), and Wonderwoman taking on Cheetah. The Joker steers clear of the whole affair while Green Lantern remains on the Justice League float pointing over the ensuing battles at Star Sapphire. Batman meanwhile frees himself and takes care of Star Sapphire leaving Green Lantern the only hero not to achieve anything. Aquaman might have been more help. We left not long after the parade. Did not go on any rides as today was more for the wife to enjoy a day out of the house and I did not feel right leaving her waiting for me. Show times for these minor shows are at this point set for the next 2 weeks or so, but can see that they might continue this building up to the Justice League Alien Invasion 3D launch, which despite querying a date with guest services was unable to get more than Spring but they are hoping for the September school holidays. For anyone interested the street performances (someone asked in another thread) they are as follows. Austin Powers: Main Street 10:15am Catwoman Dance: Perspective Alley 11:30am Marilyn Tribute: Main Street 12:35am Batman - Shadows of Gotham: Main Street 1:00pm Wonderwoman Routine: Bank 2:00pm Harley Quinn routine: Main Street 2:15pm Scooby Doo Disco Detectives: Main Street 2:40pm DC Comics Star Parade: Main Street 3:30pm Also queried if there would be a change to the Catwoman outfit to match the new design from Dark Knight Rises and the introduction of a Bane character. No information on either query. Not a no though... Should probably rate the day... Shows: 8/10. (Wonderwoman was rather poorly executed, I also think that the Justice League fight would be better as a stand alone show and keep the parade as simply a parade) Staff: 10/10. Lots of joking around including one asking if the wife was going to go on Batwing to speed up the arrival. Food: 4/10. Nachos have become smaller and smaller as well as the appearance of the shell which is more like cardboard than a nice finish to the meal, churros are always a winner. Rides: N/A. Overall: 8/10.

Still a fair bit of work to be completed on Rick's from what we saw today. Hope they make the weekend relaunch deadline.
