This is the girl I was talking about playing dead in the Ripper maze. (No she wasn't doing it all night so she wasn't being lazy) She did a great job.

What time did WWW close? We drove past around 3 and HC and that 8 lane slide both seemed to be off and looking very dry? I would have thought given the weather that they'd be running all day.

Mazes Ripper about 4 times as we wanted to cool off after the rides closed and the water spray was nice. I must say, they've fixed this up a lot since I first did the maze. We did it night in the first couple of nights and it sucked so we didn't bother going back until last night. Glad we did. Wasn't scary (but in saying that I don't scare in the mazes, I love walking through them to see how well they've been made and I can easily see how it would scare some people). This time there was a lot more women and a lot less of Jack, I think I saw him twice in the maze, which was a lot better than the 10 or so of him that were around almost every corner last time. Also, not that she's likely to see this, but great work to the young lady in the (I think) red dress that was playing dead in the maze, she looks creepy as hell when she's doing that. Clowns 3 times (was going to be twice but by the time we got back to Scooby again the ride was closed for the night so we did the maze while we were there. EW - did that one twice, but we'd done it to death on previous nights WC - did that one twice as well Rides Scooby - did it a few times because with front of line and free photos, why not? Superman - twice (got to love the look on people's faces when you've lined up twice before they even move through the switchbacks before the ramp). GL - missed it by 2 minutes. AA - skipped

I think the only reason people are saying it's a "bad" ride is because it's a short ride. It packs a lot of punch for something that doesn't seem all that exciting from the outside. I (from memory) was pretty critical of the ride before I had a chance to experience it for myself. Once you get on there, that falling out feeling is awesome and it really gives the ride some kick. If only it was that little bit longer.

(Turns out the issue was with the size of the photos, have re-uploaded them to be hosted on Parkz and have reported my previous post to have the images deleted since I can't do it myself) Free finger food in the Terror Lounge Rooftop Corpse A handy light Jelly "Shots" The living dead drop in to say "hi" before the show A few more of the cast Blood fountain Obligatory stool sample Fright Nights Hearse Did someone say "free drinks" in the lounge?

No, the VIP tour wasn't "pretty good" it was the best fucking idea Movieworld has had in years! From here down this post will contain spoilers of the Ultimate Terror Tour. I will wrap the special bits in spoiler tags though so it's up to you if you want to read the general stuff beforehand. You have been warned. You arrive at the park at 4:30. You listen to a bunch of people complain about standing in a queue at 4:20 just because you can't see anyone with Rodney (More on him later). Then, as expected, you get into the park at 4:30. You're taken to the Terror Lounge where you're met by some mighty fine looking nurses with drinks and jelly syringes. You spend around an hour just chilling out, getting your briefing and gift bag and having an intro done by the lead maze designer. At around 5:30 you are lead to the stunt driver arena where you listen to a comedy presentation from the guy who played Peaches the clown last year. You then get to mingle with the maze cast who will join you in the seating (or "upwards seating pit" as someone on here might know it better as). A brief photo opportunity follows before you head out to a special area to view the opening act. It's free game from then on, you go and do as you wish until you're time is ready for the FMX show. (If you're not that keen on FMX, skip it, it's nothing fright night related but you should all know that by now). Again you have free time to roam around, do mazes, rides, hit the terror lounge buffet (great potato salad btw). Now, here's the really good bit. The time comes to do the tour part of the Ultimate Terror Tour. Boy is it worth the wait. Spoiler alert. The tour is certainly worth the money and I'd encourage you to go and book one of the final ones right now. And Ninja, no, the ride and maze was not down due to a false fire alarm. Didn't you listen to the clown? 15 people died in the maze and they had to move the bodies. I will add a couple of photos and a movie a bit later. Finally, Rodney is a stuffed squirrel mounted on a stick that the tour guide will lead you around with.

For me, the only issue with Buzzsaw is that yes, it is a bit too short. Making it do 2 circuits would solve the problem entirely.

I'm in the terror lounge and I know there's at least one other member here. I know who they are, but the question is, who am I?

Looks like he didn't get voted in anyway and there hasn't been any word on the Wonderland project since. Gotta side with Brad on this one.

What ever happened to that guy anyway?

You can't see a problem with employing someone for only 4 hours then firing them again? Oh crap, I hope BigKev doesn't see this.

Are they entitled to staff benefits for that day? Or just for those 4 hours which they would be filming and not have an opportunity to use them?

So you want them hired as casuals, work one shift then be fired?

So you want dreamworld to hire extras, pay them per hour for the time they work, pay them super, provide them insurance, provide them super and provide them royalties all for 4 hours of filming an ad? (edit - I wrote super twice) What else is happening in DW in 2014 apart from this outrageous exploitation of child labour??

Yay. Got my Ultimate Terror Tour booked for Saturday. Thanks downunder for the info

^ You'll probably want to get on to these guys about your pay for it too. http://www.fairwork.gov.au/

That's true. I now demand say $3000 each for every comment and photo I've added here.

You're just grumpy because you're too old to do it aren't you.

Is the random paintwork in ocean parade supposed to be something? I mean I can see sharks and marine life painted beside it, but what the hell is the huge wavy line running down the middle?

Ok, so lets say 4 hours of shooting at $23/hr for an extra. That's $90 ea. "Ok now we need you to go on this ride and act like you're having fun and smile for the cameras" Or you get a bunch of teens who enjoy the park, would get a bit of a thrill about seeing themselves on TV and give themselves bragging rights among their friends, and give them a day pass to the park valued at basically the same amount all the while they're actually enjoying their exclusive use of the ride (assuming) and having fun. It's a win-win. Plus it's volunteer work - they're not forcing anyone to do it.

You mean the pro version that you can buy directly from their site? http://www.nolimitscoaster.com/buynow.php

Thanks for that The cabanas at WnW - they look like they've been replaced with shade sail roofs? (left of wave pool) Also the shades over the thing beside triple vortex just looks stupid and pointless but I'd say they've been there for years anyway.

Why would any themepark pay extras for their ads? I thought they always all always used random people that they just let spend the day in the park after filming?

FoF seemed to propose a version of Wild that we hadn't discussed much on here. A much better version than what we were expecting but nothing much came of it as far as rumours go apart from 1 or 2 surveys.
