I've been to White Christmas with my family for the last 3 years, and will be going again next week. We usually try to get on one ride while we're there, but it's definitely not a major part of the experience for us (including the 2 kids, who are 11). It's just not about going on rides. It's about having Christmas dinner, and enjoying the spectacular Christmas parade, and a couple of the other Christmas activities for the kids! Oh, and the 4D Christmas movie too.

But then you'd lose the dodgems. Sometimes if I want to get out of the sun, or I just want a calm, quiet ride dodgems are perfect. I think one exhibition like this is enough, unless they were to bring back other aspects of the old studio tour attractions, but hopefully they could either use one of the other studios, or build a new shed if they did that. The space at the front of the park where the old stars bar is could be used.

Not a huge fan of the partly closed roller shutter and entry otherwise mostly blocked by a curtain look. Not a huge fan of the partly closed roller shutter and entry otherwise mostly blocked by a curtain look. Once inside (for those who ignore the signs to the contrary and assume it is open anyway), it's a very good exhibition, if a bit small. A good start at bringing a bit of movie magic back to Movie World. Let's hope it continues and gets bigger and better.

To be honest, "butt into" would be more accurate than "tie into"!

Back to SkyVoyager, this shows how it's going to tie into the coffee shop next door.

Whilst I've been keeping an eye on construction of SkyVoyager, I couldn't help noticing how badly faded the roof of Fairytale Treasures was. Pleased to see that's about to be fixed!

and here it is today. Main hoardings most probably coming down tonight.

It's not the sort of remark you'd expect from someone who calls themselves a fan of theme parks is it!

Another day closer!

Wrong thread (dumb phone)!

I was there last weekend with my 11 year old nephew. I pointed out this monstrosity as we walked past, and said "look over there. That's Sea Worlds new ride!" He didn't even pause for a second and just completely ignored it. and that's the reaction of a kid!!! Try harder please Sea World. You used to be amazing!

There's a SkyVoyager branded kiosk in Westfield Coomera at the moment. If you buy an annual pass there, you get a pass for 13 months (same as online) and also a $20 Westfield gift card. The guy there told me: - The new development for next year is an adventure river in Whitewater World, which will include things like Waves and waterfalls. - They are NOT planning a dark ride for 2019, but it might be happening in 2020 or subsequently. - They are considering a new coaster also in coming years. Most importantly, boxing day is still the planned opening day of SkyVoyager. It just can't be confirmed just yet due to construction activity, which of course can be a bit hard to predict. Exciting times!

Beginning of remaining canopy now going up And the upper parts!

Going up near the main entrance.

Todays update

It looks like a train, and feels like a train, so it's a train to me. I'm pretty sure it's a train to 99% of riders! I'm grateful to have access to such things. If you were born in Queensland, you probably don't realise how lucky you are. Closest thing in Adelaide was Greenhills adventure park (which is now a construction site for new homes). About $40 each and every time I went. They had a "Tractor-train", and that's what it looked like! Operated 2 or 3 times a day, and forget about the possibility of any entertainment during the ride. Again. We have it very good here!

Hmmf!

I posted a photo in this thread. Not a tractor. A train!

I think it's pretty much spot on. I can't see anything wrong with the music in it either. Just right in my opinion.

There's nothing wrong with the train!

Strange as it may sound to the Alexs of this world, I simply don't care!

Or alternatively, maybe they're waiting for exactly the same thing! 😉

Seems very simple to me Alex. I just assume either nobody has any idea where the places are, or just nobody wants to play!

It's asleep, and dreaming about its next maintenance service?
