Possibly wrong but I'm fairly sure it's due to the weight of each car being different and taking a different time in each section. They brakes have to be harder or softer depending on how much space is between the cars.

Or they just got sick of people taking photos inside and wanted to stir things up a bit

If I'm not mistaken, the two little pegs that used to hold up the shark are gone, suggesting to me he wont be coming back edit - actually, looking back at previous photos there's no pegs. Wonder what I was thinking of?

Whilst I personally disagree with your opinion, I'm with you on the fact there was no need for his stupid remarks. As far as the carnivale theme goes, I can see what you're saying that there could be some negative sides to it, people would probably just look at it as a happy party theme. It's only when you look it up do you realise it's all barely-there-bikini girls everywhere. In saying that though, AFAIK, all we have is basic info from a Future of Fun survey which no one should be talking about anyway due to the T&C of that page. For all we know they might be doing it as a toned down all ages event, or this might become a 18+ event (and actually forced 18+ event unlike Fright Nights recommendations). Or it might be the same age limits as Fright Nights.

I'm quite impressed they were open about it. Best case: They bring in fire. Expected case: They leave it how it is because most people wont care. Worst case:

I think a viable alternative would be a projector showing fire and some heat generators.

It's on!

Yeah the fire in that video looks fake, don't expect it to ever show up.

I'm probably wrong but I thought they either had the cycle they run it on now, or the more intense cycle they usually put on for Screamworld events.

I think for everyone's sake (no one in particular) we need those forum guidelines back.

That was pointless and stupid. (You're welcome) On topic - I wouldn't mind seeing some more family rides on the way for Movieworld.

I'm not entirely sure what I was thinking there. Good thing I don't work for our fraud guys I guess.

I thought previously that they had all parks open from around 1:30 ?

Wouldn't you tap the card then lock it away? You'd just be paying upfront. I don't think contactless would be a good idea. Lets say I found your card on the ground and hired myself a locker. You were at the park that day. Good luck proving you didn't hire a locker. Yes I know there's a process involved of getting a stat dec and police report but that's just a pain in the ass.

Fair enough, but aren't most people in agreement that Movieworld can pretty much be a half-day park? I mean is the few minutes that you're standing at a locker really that important? Even for a tourist, it's not that long of a wait. Sure it might be a few minutes, but the park is open from say 11-5 and usually you can get a locker somewhere from 10:45 or so. You don't need to be the first rider on superman after all. I hire an all day locker when I get to the park. Usually when I go to the locker in the morning there might be 1 person in front of me, if that. Usually there's a free control panel if they're all working anyway (next to photo shop MW, or immediate left when you go to DW) In saying that with DW - use the ones at the train station. No one seems to realise they're there. I never have used a short term locker at any park. I don't see the point. I lock my phone, wallet, camera etc in the locker and can easily re-visit for lunch or if I just happen to be in the area and need a toilet stop or something. It's not like it's a long walk - except for DW, in which case that depends where you are. Apologies if I don't understand exactly here. Are you saying people hire one locker at a time and can then (without paying extra) move from one locker to a different one in another location? If so, isn't that just potentially moving your queuing problem to multiple locations? Firstly queuing to get your stuff out of the locker, then queuing to get it back in to another one? You'd also be throwing a stupidity problem into the mix. Would you like to: 1: Open your locker and keep locker hire? 2: End your locker in this location, and transfer your belongings to a different locker location? 3: End your locker hire for the day? Now not everyone is going to understand how that works and then they're going to be pissed that they didn't get to use their full day hire. Do we get around that by having full day hire only? What about the people who didn't order their locker online before getting to the park? Or the people who come later in the day and people have left but still have a locker in their name? Is it touch luck for the late-comers? And tough luck for the park losing out on the revenue? I understand your argument, but I just don't see if necessary at any of the parks. It's not that big of a deal to wait a couple of minutes behind someone, nor is it that big of a deal to walk around the park back to your locker.

I must be lucky then. The longest part for me is getting the money to be accepted without falling out of the coin return. The touchscreen process itself is easy. Takes <30 sec to ensure you hire it correctly, then <7 sec to key in your details to open it again.

What are you trying to speed up? The <2 minutes you're in line behind someone using the screen to hire a locker? You're talking about paying for a locker anyway. So unless you're not eating, who doesn't bring a wallet into the park? This I've never understood, but hey, it's their park, their rules. There's no office directly across the road. It's just some fast food and a servo.

Why not just leave it how it is? Dreamworld and Seaworld are the only parks where you have a decent walk from the back of the park to your locker. Just visit when you go to grab lunch, look at your phone, be sad that no one liked the instagram of your breakfast, post an attention seeking facebook update then get back to enjoying the damn rides you've paid to go and enjoy.

Wow! Looking at this video it's even themed to DW standards too!
