I have an issue that the WBMW website was not fully disclosing all the rides that would be closed and close at 9pm. All they mentioned was Superman and Batwing but when you get there you find that at 9pm Superman, Batwing, Lethal, and Wild West Falls close, Shrek isn't showing at all and the replacement horror movie DIDN'T UTILISE THE SPECIAL EFFECTS CINEMA / CHAIRS AT ALL (perfect opportunity for spiders and snakes running over you, blood splattering etc), the kiddies boat ride didn't open at all and the Stunt Driver show didn't operate at all either. That's a bit like ordering a steak sandwich and chips and getting it all except for the steak and chips! Some high capacity rides that spring to mind are Indiana Jones (west coast Disney Land) and Spiderman (Islands of Adventure) where capacity is upwards of 50 per minute. Or the Hulk Coaster (Islands of Adventure) which has 3 trains running at once, 4 seats wide... 80 people per train, 240 on track at one time.. beats Superman's and Lethal's 20 odd per 5 minute cycle. Yes Movie World is the best of the coast but compared to US standards it's like going to a school fete! Yes I am in a bit of a bitter mood tonight!

I went the other week. I got in for $10 as a myfun member. The low cost is probably the only thing that saved it for me. THE GOOD - the themeing really was awesome... the lights, lasers, smoke everywhere, costumes, atmosphere etc... it really was haunting cool... very good theming... well done THE BAD - WAY too many people (crap it was crowded) - ALL big rides including Lethal shut at 9pm because of noise... they only advertised Superman and Batwing as closing at 9pm but all big rides did, which is basically all rides bar 2 - even with all the big rides open before 9pm there were way too many people so come 9pm it just went crazy - all I got through was the Batman mansion, Scooby Doo (45 minutes) and Wild West Falls, oh and the stunt show which wasn't the stunt show, rather just the dirt bike show from the Ekka with some really lame horror kidnapping story line - the ending live show at 10:45pm, sorry, was lame as... SUPER lame - post 9pm they had staff walking down all lines advising that the wait time was around 60-90 minutes - driving there the freeway exit off the M1 south bound was CHOCKERS... really bad light sequences Everyone was lining up for Shrek not realising that Shrek wasn't showing (including me) rather some really LAME 10 minute horror film. Heaps of people walked out, namely those with young ones. WBMW really needs some large capacity awesome rides and CAP these events! Having paid $10 I give it a 3/10 as an over all experience. 9/10 for theming. 1/10 if I paid full price!
