Sirens of the Sea non event
It seems like a pretty cool event to draw in some visitors- here is a video from YouTube of the same event last year.

Movie World November 2017 Improvements
I always do Arkham first, the load times on it are horrible and unlike the other coasters there is only the one train.

Justice League effects stop before ride ends
I should mention when they offer the fast track pass it’s for any ride of your choice, not just for JL. We honestly didn’t care that much were just curious about what happened, the ride op told us if we went to Guest services we could get a fast pass, so thought we might as well - we got it for Scooby and saved over 1 hour in line.

Justice League effects stop before ride ends
From what I've been told by guest services the ride is pre-timed, the effects are not activated by an incoming car. I've had the issue before and when we enquired they told us it was due them needing to stop a car at the end for a longer period of time than usual for an older couple to exit - this put all subsequent cars out of sync with the effects. they apologised and gave us a fast-track to go back on later that day.

Movie World New Park Map
I like the look of it, however it seems to be an odd angle, needs to be more top down with the front gates centred.

Tiger Island Refurbishment - Dreamworld 2016
Looks good from the outside, I can see what people are saying about the inside of the enclosure not looking great. But once the plants mature, most of the green walls will obscured. Would have been nice to see the "tree trunks" completed on the inside as well.

Arkham Asylum - VR coaster at Movie World
Haha don't get your knickers in a knot, for someone that doesn't care what anyone think your sure are getting worked up about it. It is clear you were proud of the work produced., the reception has been critical yes, but only because I and others here have seen a far greater potential. If you truly feel that to reach that potential you would have needed 10 times the budget then I would suggest that Movie World find someone else to make such videos in the future.

Arkham Asylum - VR coaster at Movie World
I'd buy the live streaming thing if that's how they made the video to look, not the multi-angle infomercial style we got, but yes that's another option that could have worked. Obviously the script would have to be reworked a bit. But a character like Harley pulls off sarcasm no worries, so her doing a safety speil is no stretch. That's what the staff in the VR booth are for. The demand isn't so high and the line moves so slowly at that point that the staff do give the necessary info to each guest at time of purchase. This video is an extra layer they chose to add to the ride.

Arkham Asylum - VR coaster at Movie World
Hey I understand you're personally invested in the video, but surely you can see where all the heat is coming from? You're saying the nursing team at Arkham asylum just happened to be filming a new information video at the exact time Joker made his escape (the rise in the video mentions at the end in that horrible accent "that laugh, green hair etc" so clearly Joker is out at time of filming) and the video still somehow managed to make its way to the shock therapy ward to be played to patients? The concept just doesn't work as it currently stands and the execution of the video is even worse (that actor clearly had no direction given to her). For a place called Movie World it is a rather embarrassing attempt at something that had potential to be a great addition. As I said earlier it would make sense for one of Jokers henchmen, sidekicks or as I mentioned Harley to be the one in the video, a minor change that would make a world of difference. It's the little things that make a big difference.

Healthy food at theme parks
Yes it is true that the different sugars react differently in the body, but it is to such a small degree. Especially the simple sugars; glucose and fructose (fruit sugars). That one is no better or worse than the other. (By the way lactose is the "milk sugar" not glucose 😉) Fruit juices (boost included) are by far a worse option than soft-drinks. Most people view them as healthy and don't realise how much sugar is packed into them and therefore don't feel as "bad" for consuming them. Its like the people that say they put honey in their tea because it's healthier than sugar. (Honey actually contains more calories than standard table sugar)

Arkham Asylum - VR coaster at Movie World
That makes no sense the whole premise of the ride is the fact that the inmates are loose - the very first room upon entering the ride queue has a TV (on the guards head) with a news report explaining that the inmates have escaped and taken over the asylum. The current video spoils the continuity set up by the queue.
