I've personally never been to either. TP food is expensive enough as it is, let alone trying out some kind of restaurant. Unless I'm wrong. What are/were the prices like?

You used to seem more laid back. What happened?

What ever it is, I hope it's a ride. Yes it's a marine park but they seem to be (IMO) severely lacking in the decent ride department. Without SV open, I can't really see any reason to head there at the moment.

It's the internet. Is there any other way? As long as the pass deals continue like they have in recent years it should be quite appealing regardless of what it turns out to be

99% of compaines have a social media policy. If I talk about my job for instance, I need to state the views don't represent my employer/not qualified in that area... blah blah blah Pretty standard practice now.

Didn't they already ditch the boats?

The whole outdoor bit was under themed

Wow I'm surprised that thing made it back to the station. Was someone pushing it?

On the website under media releases

Yea the black box with white writing. Wasn't there some summer pass recently? Ah yes....

I bought that half price pass on saturday. It's just the generic blue "Season pass" one but it says "VIPL" on the back which I take to mean Local VIP pass. Any code on yours?

Jacko?

I'm thinking the same, shouldn't the park be closed at 6?

I'll give it another try in a couple of weeks when I head back anyway. Was going to take my proper camera, but these phone camera shots came out all right so I'll probably just use that again.

I only just noticed I didn't actually mention superman. It was running with basically a 2min queue all day. My god that hurts in the rain. Got of the ride soaked and with a lot of eyeball pain lol. If you haven't been lucky enough to experience superman in the wet, imagine the hulk throwing a hedgehog into your face while you're on the ride.

Not that it's going to help anyone, but the license plate is CAK781. Forgot to mention too, Rick's diner is still under construction but the all you can eat is still available in one of the other locations. (DH maybe, wasn't paying too much attention) Also not really needing its own thread I suppose, saw this ad on the wall there.

Really the new design would be fine to use as if they had put some sort of thing to stop it dropping past a certain point.

Car is just the old lethal pontiac that was there before I think (it def is a pontiac)

^ Wasn't open til about 2 weeks after I left

On the whole, yes I do agree the train is a massive improvement, it shouldn't be uncomfortable for ANY rider. As far as saying "Anyone who says the discomfort is worse than the head banging" etc, is wrong, NO, they're not. As I said, I would be happier to have my head banging around over the pain in my legs. Next time before you get on the ride, apply a very tight pressure bandage just above your knee, then go through all the forces on the ride. It hurts. Once again, the new trains are great overall, but personally, I don't like them due to the constriction on my legs

That car had one window partially down and from what we could see there was a power lead and some random chemical bottle on the floor in the front lol. I don't know if the leg thing was from sliding under it, I think it was more my legs just being squished under there as I'm not much muscle.

Good evening, Here's my thoughts on my trip to Movieworld with my mate today. The forecast for today was showers/rain and that's exactly what it was so the crowds we down quite nicely. For those of you considering visiting the park during the wet weather and buying a poncho, DON'T. You can't take them on any ride (Except WWF & Scooby) so you just get wet anyway. ALL RIDES were running today. I don't know if that's normal, I haven't been in ages. Last I recall, a little bit of rain closes almost everything. Now only lightning will force a closure. Green Lantern is really good fun, even in wet weather. First time I'd been on it and it's an excellent addition to the park. The lap bars give that excellent feeling of freedom. Theming is looking good but is already being attacked by guests (Yellow monster just before the ramp). Nice new garden too. GL was having several technical issues today. No audio for one, but something was causing some lengthy closures throughout the day. Construction on Batman's replacement didn't seem to be going anywhere today, I assume maybe they're only working weekdays? No construction workers in sight anyway. It looks like they're building a new ramp just past the end of the Spaceshot queue. Nothing new to add to what's already been covered on here. Wild West Falls was looking it's usual vibrant self even in the wet. Nothing has changed, not that it needs to in the last few years (apart from the usual maintenance). No queue at all, but that was the same across the whole park today. As mentioned, the park was basically a ghost town today. Most shops were closed. Arkham was up and running in the rain, was a nice smooth ride, unfortunately I found the new restraints to be quite constricting on my legs. I would rather have had the head banging back as it didn't hurt as much as the legs. From about half way through the ride to the end the G forces made the harness extremely tight and uncomfortable. Theming looks good, The 'wallpaper' works well as there wouldn't be much space left after Superman to add in a whole new facade. They did well with what they've got to work with. Did have a bit of a "oh is that where it is" moment when trying to find the entrance. There is just a ramp on the left as you walk down to enter via, but a giant inviting path leading straight ahead. Yes there is a big sign above the door saying Arkham Asylum however Movieworld sure do seem to like their A-frame signs, so one telling you where the entrance is probably wouldn't hurt too much. This will probably all change if they add something to the chinatown area anyway. The audio still wasn't working but did appear to be installed in all the seats now though. A few seats were refusing to release and had to be done manually with those battery pack things they carry which caused a roughly 10-15 minute delay while they tested it and tried to get it all sorted again. Have to make a new post now as I've run out of image space *Stupid forum won't let me have any more pictures in this post and it keeps merging my posts* This is just looking down to chinatown (sorry for the quality) seems one building has it's facade removed, the rest seem normal. http://img.photobuck...ed35/china1.jpg http://img.photobuck...ed35/china2.jpg Scooby was a walk on and a lot of the time there really wasn't anyone in front of us at all. Kept walking from the exit to entry and riding again. Clocked up about 15-20 rides today. Smoke was the best I've ever seen it (until the afternoon about 3:30/4pm it was switched off and there was just whatever was already in the room left). The cone laser after the turntable wasn't working correctly, it was just a single line pointing to the bottom of the car, otherwise there was a green laser near the spider and 1 or 2 others (green and a red I think) were going. Can't remember if there was supposed to be any more. The parade was very small today due to the weather. There was 2 empty floats (joker and WB), the batmobile and the red Evo. Speaking of Evo's, we didn't check out the show today, will do next time. And to finish off this update, I will leave you with this power lead. Where does it go? What does it do? What doesn't it do? Who knows? http://img.photobuck...ed35/weird1.jpg http://img.photobuck...ed35/weird2.jpg No, seriously, who knows? I didn't actually follow it past that corner.

I don't find park benches all that comfortable. It's not a case of HTFU, it should come back to Kumback or whoever (noticed too they kept the vekoma wheels - thought the whole train was new not just the chairs) testing with a range of people to ensure comfort for all passengers without their sales pitch needing to say sorry, HTFU it's a ride.

Pain started as the restraints got tighter just as it was going into the twist inversion (I think - will check pics and confirm where on the ride I noticed it) but it's really not all that fun now with the pain involved. I'd much rather bash my head around.
