There's a ton of theming on the inside after the drop? At least from what I remember ? It has a tiny bit in the queue line? ? Yeah they really did let the theming go for that ride haha

Just wondering.. Does the DJ play the whole night? Or does he just come up for the beatbox show?

After being over in LA, and seeing the theming done at Magic Mountain & Knotts Berry Farm, I would say our theme parks are doing very well! A lot of people don't realise how good our theming actually is, I mean it's no Universal or Disneyland.. But that's a bit harsh to compare them to our parks as their theming is out of this world. After riding Xcelerator, even though it being 32km/h faster.. I much prefer Superman because of the theming and storyline. I just hope that this 'World Best' attraction doesn't turn out like Green Lanterns theming ?? What are your thoughts? Would you rather less theming with more of a thrilling ride or a lot of theming with less of a thrill?

I recently was googling 'Most Expensive Roller Coasters' on Google. Storm Coaster @ SeaWorld came in at the number 10 spot at $20mil. (http://www.therichest.com/luxury/most-expensive/the-10-most-expensive-roller-coasters-in-the-world/?view=all) This takes into account the demolition of the building & all that... My questions are, How much do you think the ride itself will cost? Where do you think the ride will be located? Cost efficient location or not?

Unfortunately Ghostrider was closed it looked like a lot of fun! I know we may have missed a few things here and there but I was very happy we got to do all of the main things in the short amount of time we had at the parks. Our trip was very non stop! ? We did a lot of things other than theme parks aswell. Disneyland/CA's longest line was about 20 minutes. So that helped us get through pretty much everything in 2 days. Do you mean Waterworld at Universal? If so, yes we saw that We walked up to the front gates of CA, and they said that we weren't allowed in to see World of Colour unless we had a fast pass ? Oh well, every thing I missed at the parks makes me look forward to doing them when I go back

Hey guys! Just got back from LA last week & thought I'd post my review in here (don't want to start a new thread). There may be spoilers of some rides below! We landed on Monday morning at 6am and I didn't get any sleep on the plane. I find it hard to sleep on a plane ? Anybody have the same problem? Anyway, I powered through the day somehow and stayed awake until 9pm. Got a good night sleep and was awake nice and early to get ready for Universal Studios UNIVERSAL STUDIOS Universal opened at 9am and we got through the gates at 9:01am. Love the feeling of how they have staff greeting you and are always happy. We heading straight down the escalators which surprised me. I never thought there were that many! ? Thought there was only like one! Anyway, we arrived down at the lower lot & got a few pictures with the dinosaur & Transformer. We then headed into the Transformers ride, which was a walk on. Such an awesome ride! Love the Missile/explosion part of the ride. Next ride was The Mummy & yet again, walk on. Awesome dark ride & loved the effect when the bugs were on the wall! Next ride was Jurrasic Park & again...NO LINE ?. Stupid dinosaurs got me more wet than the actual drop! ? Cool ride but sucks when you ride in winter! Was freezing! Hahaha. We went back up all those escalators & lined up for The Simpsons ride. Cool ride & loved the smell effect when you get put in Maggie's mouth! We felt a bit hungry so we headed to Krusty Burger & had a bite to eat, then headed to the Water show. Got seats BEHIND the wet zone! Would be great seats in Summer though! Awesome show & great stunts. Checked the map and saw the Despicable Me ride, so we decided to head there. No line again! Glad we saw this one on the map because it was very enjoyable Finally we headed to the studio tour. Only about a 10 minute wait. Such an amazing tour! Loved the King Kong 360 3D & also the Fast & Furious Supercharged section of it. When we finished we checked the lines for the lower lot again & they were up to 50 mins so we decided to call it a day. Did the whole park by 3pm which was awesome! Definitely recommend going as soon as the park opens for short lines! SIX FLAGS MAGIC MOUNTAIN The next day (Wednesday) was Magic Mountain. The park opened at 10:30am. We went straight to the back as we thought most people would go to popular & newer rides, and we were right. First ride was Green Lantern & holy crap I was not ready for that! ? Very short but a great rush of adrenaline to start off the day. The next 3 rides were Batman, Riddlers Revenge & Scream which all had no line. Different style of rides but they all felt very similar. Are they all B&M? Scream was my favourite out of the 3. After these rides our 'no line' luck was up as Goliath had an hour wait. Definitely worth the wait though! Love that first drop. We then got a bite to eat and then walked around the back of the park. Walked past Apocalypse & up to Tatsu. The line for Tatsu was about 45mins. Such a crazy ride & loved the loop, if you can call it a loop? ? After Tatsu we headed for X2. The line being an hour and a half ?. Worth the wait tho! Such an amazing ride & thrill, my favourite of the day. Finally we headed to Colossus. My first wooden coaster I've ridden and it was awesome. The fact you are racing the train next to you was so cool. Unfortunately we didn't get to ride Full Throttle or Apocalypse as we were out of time This was definitely the most insane theme park I've been too & would easily go again! I recommend going early as line were shorter in the morning. KNOTTS BERRY FARM Unfortunately we only had about 3/4 of a day here but pretty much got to ride everything which was good. It was a Saturday so we were expecting long lines but they weren't too bad. Arrived at around 1pm and lined up for Sidewinders. Cool little ride that made me so disorientated ? After Sidewinders we lined up for Silver Bullet. Great ride & loved the tight turn over the water at the end. Next ride was the Log Ride which had a great ride experience & loved the drop in the dark! We then lined up for Voyage to the Iron Reef, which was an hour and a half wait. Probably not worth waiting that long ? Didn't enjoy it that much but kids would definitely love it. We then headed to Xcelerator. Was very keen on this one! The launch was awesome! So fast I can't remember much of it ? We then walked our way to Montezooma's revenge. Great launch & felt weird doing a loop backwards! ? Finally we lined up for Jaguar, which had no line cool little ride. Awesome park with some pretty cool rides. DISNEYLAND/CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE Day 1 We arrived at the park at opening time (9am) and headed to Matterhorn Bobsleds, which broke down as we were in line. So we then headed to Splash Mountain, getting a FP for BTMR on the way. Splash mountain was an awesome log ride with great drops. We then hopped into Haunted Mansion. Great animatronics & awesome how you could smell the room when you went through the dining area place. We then lined up for Pirates of the Carribean. Cool boat ride, I feel the drops would have been better at the end but was still a fun ride. We then used our Fast Pass for BTMR. Love how there are multiple lift sections which builds suspense. The final lift section has some awesome effects! We then headed to Indiana Jones. Wasn't expecting much, but it was actually one of my favourites. Such an awesome experience! Then did the Jingle Cruise. Definitely relaxing ? We then headed to Matterhorn Bobsleds, which had reopened. Very awkward seating position but a fun little ride! We then did Buzz Lightyears Astro Blaster which was fun & then headed to Finding Nemo. It was a cool experience, the seats were a bit cramped tho ? We then headed back outside the park to get a bite to eat. We then had to rush back to Space Mountain as our Fast Pass was about to expire! Luckily we got in Loved Space Mountain. Very fast in a tight space and sharp corners. After we headed to Star Wars Tours. Reminded me of Batman at Movie World California Adventure time! We headed into CA & went to Soarin over California. The time was about 6pm and was amazed that there was hardly a line! Great ride experience! It's amazing how real it actually feels. We then headed to Paradise Pier and went on all of the little ride around that area. After all of them it was time to head back to Disneyland for the Night Parade. Took us a while to actually find a spot for the parade! Make sure you get in early if you want a good spot. Awesome parade. Love how they have a dancing routine aswell, gives the parade a lot of life. We then headed to its a small world to view the fireworks. Great viewing area for them, I highly recommend it. The fireworks were the most amazing I've ever seen. The finale was awesome. DISNEYLAND/CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE Day 2 We headed into CA to start off the day. We were told to get a FP for cars straight away, so we did. We then headed to California Screamin. Great ride & loved the second drop. We then made our way to the Grizzly River Rapids. No line, as it was freezing but we didn't complain.. Until we got wet ? We then walked all the way down to Tower of Terror. The line was about 10 minutes. Awesome story of the ride and fun drops. It's amazing how they use seat belts for most of their rides. We then went back to Disneyland and killed a bit of time by going on little rides (Snow White, Peter Pan). Once our FP was ready we headed back to CA to ride cars. Amazing ride and was fun racing the other car at the end. Definitely worth getting a FP for it! Once we finished this ride we pretty much wanted to kill as much time as we could until the water show. We did pretty much all of the smaller relaxing rides. Ferris Wheel, Little Mermaid, It's a Small World and many more. It was about an hour until the water show, so we decided to do one last ride on Indiana Jones. Once we finished the ride we headed back to CA, only to realise the park closes at 8 & you need a Fast Pass to see the water show?!?! I guess it said that you needed a fast pass somewhere, and we just didn't see it, but still was disappointed we didn't get to see the show Anyway, still had an awesome time! A 2 Day park hopper was perfect for us. Would probably recommend 3 days if you have kids or if it is peak season. This was my first LA trip and definitely won't be my last! Would love to do it all again! If you have any questions feel free to ask them and I'll do my best at answering them

Yeah, if we went to Vegas it wouldn't be for the coasters anyway haha Thanks heaps will definitely give you my review when I get back!

We do have a lot of other stuff planned for our trip, so when we were planning it we were just trying to cram everything in. It is my first time over there, however the friends I'm going with have been there before and done every park except six flags. When we also planned this, we were allowing a 2 night trip to Vegas, however we were talking about it lately and might just leave Vegas for another trip. So this will give us more flexibility for Disney. My friends and myself are in our 20's, so we should be able to power through a full day. I am more excited about the rides, however I'm assuming the shows at Disney are amazing. Is it worth seeing any other shows at the other parks? Six flags is the park I am most excited for, as I would love to try the different style rides to what we have here (flying, stand up, etc). Thanks for the tips

I'm leaving next week to go to LA for the first time Just a little excited We are doing Knotts & Disneyland/CA in one day, as we are only there for 10 days so just trying to fit everything in. Would rather spend more time at Disneyland/CA as there is a lot more to do & see, but still not going to miss Knotts! We are then doing a 1/2 or maybe full day at Universal & then a obvious full day at Six Flags. Would anybody be able to suggest some 'not to miss' attraction at these parks? thanks

It is kind of weird how they have decks up there too. Why the decks & no DJ? I DJ in the valley so I was kind of keen to see him this year and check him out.. but obviously that didn't happen. Even the mix that was being played over the speakers was kind of weird and out of time at points. As for an alternative to dubstep, what type of music do you think would fit in that area? A type of genre or just a spookie kind of music? I have noticed at Universal H (from videos off YouTube) that they use Hardstyle as a genre. I think it sounds kind of ugly, but also kind of works? Haha maybe it could work in some of the precincts to give it that freakish feeling. Example of hardstyle - https://soundcloud.com/buygore/thequarantine

I think reanimated was referring to the dubstep that is playing while you are lining up for Wyrmwood & F13, unless it wasn't playing when you went? Last year there was a DJ, however this year I didn't see him up there at all? It was just a mix continuously playing through.

When myself and a few mates were planning a trip to the Gold Coast, we had a discussion about whether or not to do the escape hunt at southport. In the end we decided to not give it a go, because we were scared we would fail and just waste our money ? Obviously you still get the experience, but if you were not able to escape the room, I would leave feeling sad & incomplete.

I'm excited for the return of The Evil Within. Yes, it was a maze last year however it was definitely my favourite!! I decided to play the game after my experience with the maze & found out that there is actually a lot more characters in the game than what the maze offered. From what I remember in the maze there was Ruvik (First Scare), Chainsaw Guy, Reborn Laura & the Box Head guy. Some of the characters in the game that were not shown in the maze were The Gaints, The Dog & the Spider (shown). Will be interesting to see if they bring in some new characters or stick with the old ones.

Makes sense now that I think about it! Thanks for clearing that up

Is there only 2 test dummy's in that cart? Wasn't this a 4 seater? Correct me if I'm wrong ?

To the left of this photo is the section where you went down the drop and then up over the station. I can also remember as you were waiting at the break run, a car might come down and zoom past you. It sometimes scared me because the people on the ride screamed so loud!

That sounds spot on Richard! That's exactly how I remember it when I was little I enjoyed watching the cars come down the drop and go over the station while I was waiting in the queue.

Did you want to put it on YouTube as POV's or just muck around videos? Mine was just a muck around video for facebook that we were just being silly on the rides and doing facecam videos in the mazes (all handheld). So depends what you were doing it for.. Then again it is technically 'not allowed' so depends if you want to risk it!

I filmed with my GoPro on Scooby (during fright night). That's the only one I've filmed on though.. Also filmed in the mazes which was cool and the actors seemed to love being on camera

Ah okay, didn't know that! Thanks

Does anyone know why tickets are now $50?

How long was Scooby Line?

Obviously 2nd night had much shorter lines First night struggles were real! </3

Haven't posted in a while, but I went tonight so thought I'd share my thoughts. (btw this was my first ever fright night so I can't compare to previous years!) Got there around 7 & headed straight to The Ripper. Started lining up around 7:15, didn't get to the start of the maze until about 9:15. Standing in line for 2 hours sucks a hell of a lot! Overall the maze was kinda dull, not the best scares and the theming wasn't that great. Rate it about 3/10. After The Ripper we headed over to Wolf Creek 2 Maze. Started lining up around 9:30 & made the front by about 10:15. As soon as I stepped in the first door I could already tell the theming was going to be better than The Ripper. Overall, I think the theming was good & was a pretty well done maze. Rate it about 6/10. Finally, went and jumped in line for The Evil Within at around 10:30. Was in line for about 5-10 minutes until we got to the front. Overall the maze was pretty good & had some awesome scares! Love the 4 armed girl, she made me drop my nuts haha! I think the ending was a let down but still a great maze and my favourite of the night. Rate it about 7/10. Didn't get a chance to the the clown maze. Was a pretty fun night for my first fright night. The ending of the night was a lot better with shorter lines + better mazes. Definitely recommend Wolf Creek 2 + The Evil Within. Also might recommend doing rides first and mazes last as the maze lines were terribly long at the beginning of the night! Cheers

I don't think they NEED a screen. I don't really care if they have one or not. Of course it would be better if they did but they definetely don't NEED one.
