Movie World November 2017 Improvements
pushbutton replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Matt Hollywood just drew a small cross on his hand with permanent marker, and had me hold my hand in a fist. He then clenched his hand into a fist, opened it back up, and the cross was gone. He asked me to open my hand, and a cross had appeared on my hand somehow in the position his was! AMAZING! I'm dumb, so I await correction by someone wise! -
Dreamworld - 2017 Log Ride reopening
pushbutton replied to DaptoFunlandGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
My 6 year old nephew asked me why it was taking so long to reopen the log ride. I told him "they're adding a metal frame over the top of each car". His immediate reaction: "What? That would be so stupid! Why are they making it dangerous? People could be trapped by the metal frame, and they might drown!" I'm dumb, so I await correction by someone wise! -
Some background information on "The Abominable Snowmonster" in the current 4D movie showing at Movie World. http://christmas-specials.wikia.com/wiki/The_Abominable_Snowmonster_of_the_North I am dumb, so I await correction by someone wise! Also, the Abominable Snowmonster is actually called "Bumble", and has made an appearance on The Simpsons! I am dumb, so I await correction by someone wise!

DC Rivals HyperCoaster - soft open discussion
pushbutton replied to joz's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I did DC Rivals backwards in the dark last night at White Christmas. Never screamed so much before! Best parts for me were the view up close of the lit Joker face as we went under it, and seeing all the Christmas lights from above! I am dumb, so I await correction by someone wise! -
Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017

and please announce some major investment in seriously impressive new attractions by June the latest. Otherwise announce that Ardent is putting the park on the market by at least February! I am dumb, so I await correction by someone wise! -
I see. No problem. Have a great Christmas! I am dumb, so I await correction by someone wise!

Well Butlin's holiday resort in Minehead, England closed its monorail in 1998, and sections were bought by various different parties. Gradually I assume most were scrapped, but one section remained in use as a playground item at a local primary school in Minehead for kids to sit in and pretend they were on a monorail (Dreamworld style, if you will)! I became aware in 2009 that the school were planning to redevelop the land where the monorail carriage was, and I was able to persuade Butlin's facilities manager to purchase it from the school. Butlin's subsequently refurnished and repainted it, and put it back in the resort as a static display of Butlin's history. Sadly it only took a year for some moronic guests to vandalise it to the point it was beyond repair and had to be scrapped, and that's after primary school kids taking good care of it for well over a decade. Sad. I am dumb, so I await correction by someone wise! You really shouldn't feel the need to prove yourself to anyone Gazza. They can choose to either believe what you say, or not. It matters not one way or another! I am dumb, so I await correction by someone wise!

Dreamworld - 2017 Log Ride reopening

They did, but I thought that was absolutely fine, as the Beat Box show was on. Who would want to be on a ride when the Beat Box show was on? The other reason was they had to stop the noise made by the rides in order that it didn't interfere with the sounds of the Beat Box show. I am dumb, so I await correction by somebody wise! -

Well if the above is genuine, and they're only opening till 6pm, that would pretty much rule out any cool light / fire shows this year sadly, as it wouldn't even be dark by 6pm. I'm dumb, so I await correction by someone wise! -
Not that I've noticed. I am dumb, so I await correction by someone wise!

Even if they do, I can't really get excited about the remote possibility of a "plan b" attraction maybe opening at Dreamworld eventually! I am dumb, so I await correction by someone wise! -
A new standard for attraction theming

Some very interesting concepts in the link below. I especially like the sound of the ride that takes you underwater in an open capsule. Something like that could be perfect for Sea World. I am dumb, so I await correction by someone wise! -

I've just been in and looks like they've repainted the chair legs and the walls and columns. Can't see anything different. -

I'm 99% sure there are no plans at this stage. I think there definitely should be, but there aren't because until this week, they thought they could reuse the mine ride and just build a shed over it. -
Not themed to Christmas but at Christmas.

As part of Carnivale I believe, yes.

Thank you rac2703. At last a sensible response! I wasn't aware the show was on last year. The video shows pretty much exactly what I was expecting to see, but even though I could clearly see through both windows there was no mermaid in sight. I will go again though now that I have confirmation there is supposed to be!
