Future Additions for Gold Coast Theme Parks
I've only ever seen them talk to each other when they're either waiting for people to sit down or waiting for the next car to arrive safely into the station to begin the loading. What do you want them to do in those instances? Physically pick people up and place them in a seat? Not say a word to anyone and just stand there bored? I've never seen the process delayed because staff were having a chat.

The Future With Frozen at Epcot
Really disappointed you missed the opportunity to say "let it go" here. Frozen does make the best sense as the next attraction, and why not Epcot? I might be wrong but Epcot seems to be more of an educational park that probably won't hold much interest for many young people. I would then assume that attendance is lower than the other local parks. By sticking Frozen in there, that's going to drive a massive attendance boost resulting in people who wouldn't normally visit the park taking the time to visit and most likely looking at the other attractions as well.

You've got to admit, this has been covered many times already.

Ideas or thoughts of mazes, themes etc for 2014 Fright Nights?
Given the feedback in the other thread about it, it's quite clear what people think of it.

Nice work! Planning on doing a Fright Night video as well?

The Off Topic Topic
If anything I think it will be an exhibition like they did with Narnia after shooting wrapped up.

Sea World - Creatures from the Deep
Anyone with nearmap got an updated shot of the land? Hasn't it changed quite a bit since the google maps photo?
-
Sea World - Creatures from the Deep
Given they have a wedding booking thing available and 2 separate function rooms, I'd say they're pretty popular

Sea World - Creatures from the Deep
........functions.

Sea World - Creatures from the Deep
It's probably obvious, but looking at this I'd say it was taken from around here. As for the 2nd shot, not certain but Isn't that the function room near the main monorail station?

Theme Park Staples
Yeah, 1-4 in station, #5 has the camera, #6 is on track but out of shot and #7 is in the maint bay. The abrupt stopping (cause for much laughter at fright night) is due to stacking in the station. From observations on Saturday night, 99% of that time is due to the guests, not the staff. Sure they could walk a bit quicker but most of it was people dicking around trying to put stuff in their little box thing or trying to work out how to use the restraints.

Wet N wild Sydney Trip Report
That's their own fault though. They had plenty of time and no competition. They could have held off another year and still would have been the first

Fright Night 2014
If you get a chance can you see if you can get a shot of the multiple arms chick from evil within. I'm heading back Saturday with my camera but she only randomly pops up behind the maze during a shift change.

How did they do so well worth the coast parks but seem to do so badly with the Sydney ones?

Can't you just sit with another random who showed up alone?

Fright Night 2014
1:Is there any music or sound effects in any of the four mazes? Yes they have sound effects 2:Is it true that entrance to The Ripper is where Hillbilly Slasher's exit was? Yes 3:Can you watch the people getting scared at all? Or was that something that MW fooled us with? Can't say I've seen anywhere for that to happen 4:Is Cannibal Clowns like the one that they used back in the Bumper Cars area? (I'm guessing it is) Pretty much

Fright Night 2014
I wouldn't say ALL 4 mazes are "really good" but usually 3 or so of them have been good from what I remember then there always seems to be that one that's thrown together as an afterthought. This year you have Evil Within - Exceptional Wolf Creek 2 - Average Cannibal Clowns - Average Ripper - The scale I had in mind doesn't go below "poor", so we'll have to use "poor". edit - I should say that's based on scares. - Theming wise, EW again is exceptional, and WC2 is above average. There's not much to the other two. You walk in and every few metres there's some hookers standing there touching themselves and asking if you want some fun. Every now than there there was a guy standing there with a cleaver but they didn't really jump out at you or anything. - Please keep in mind my impressions of that have only come from night 1. I'll check it out again next week and see if they've done anything to fix it, but I won't be holding my breath.

Fright Night 2014
First time they haven't had a decent show in the arena First time they think dubstep fits the FN theme First time they haven't had any smoke/fog under superman First time for tours First time they blew the budget on 1 major maze and had 3 average ones with it First time they removed the castle entry and replaced it with a basic sign

Fright Night 2014
Ah ok. Obviously I've never seen the movie, so good work to them on sticking to that then.

Fright Night 2014
Probably about 40 mins or so, but that's a guess as I didn't think to time it. It felt so much longer there was a bunch of fuckwit delinquent kids behind us. (You know the type, pot-smoking mum, no idea who the father is, lives off centrelink etc) - they were sitting down and trying to untie our shoes but were too stupid to work out how to untie a double knot. Anyway later in the night, I'm pretty sure it was the same people who got kicked out by security for being assholes to some other people. Also this is extremely relevant for Fright Nights.

Fright Night 2014
Tonight they were doing 10 people every 30sec-1min. At the end of the night (10:15-10:30pm) they were sending just however many people were in your group. eg: we went in as a pair. Onto the review. Firstly I must say this was a much better night than last night. It just seemed less busy and they had improved operations a bit. Don't bother with the show stage mazes mid-night though. Either do them first or wait til just after 10. This time we arrived before the event started and queued immediately to the superman side of things with a couple of hundred other people. Moved the the next gate and had to wait maybe 3mins before that was open and all the idiots ran down the end. Didn't bother to run as I remember last year we were one of the first into the maze and half the actors hadn't shown up from the opening performance at that stage and the maze was almost empty. Got through Wolf Creek 2 after maybe a 20min wait. It was ok. Would be the 2nd best one there. Not too many scares. In saying that I don't find any other the mazes scary, I think the only time I've jumped at a fright night was in that darkness maze and I turned a corner and there was a face right in front of me. Anyway, it seems a bit odd having the killer mid maze then having the actors towards the end of the maze asking to be saved. I guess we could be passing through he hideout type thing and out the other side, but it just seems as though he should be the main scare at the end of it. Did superman escape - queue was about 30mins when we joined. Good fun as usual. GL was good. 30-40min queue though, really slow with the loading. Never more than 2 cars on the circuit at one time. No audio, only one car had the pulsing green light on it too. Also did Scooby and wasted a bit of time wandering around the park aimlessly. Did EW 3 times. Twice at the end of the night (10:15-10:30) and the wait was 5-10 minutes. I think next week I might take the camera in and get some shots of the main street actors.
