Not really understanding the criticism regarding branding? Businesses are profitable when they're recognisable... a multi million dollar business is obviously going to drop some coin on logos around their properties. Besides that, I think the hotel looks fantastic, and truly hope we get something similar for Hotel V.

Ringers haven't supplied uniforms for quite sometime now. There were a few issues with the whole partnership...

I think you're on the money to some degree. It smells like an after thought to me, personally. Just ticking the box really.

That's a very fair point. In saying that, a major event would be something they would've been planning for more than a few months. Hooray's concept had been floating around for a few years before it was introduced as the 30th celebration. I think you're on the money though. There would've been an almost crowded event lineup with Spooky Nights, Fright Nights and then a 50th celebration. There has also always been some contention within the company for as long as I can remember, on when Sea World should actually celebrate it's anniversary.

Extremely disappointing, and such a missed opportunity for them to not be running any form of in park celebration. With the success of Movie World's 30th event, I'm floored by the fact that we won't be getting anything. Especially for an arguably more significant milestone. On a positive note, I'm loving the 50th logo design.

Hahaha I'm more referring to Friday night. Tonight they were more enthusiastic at getting up and leaving once the band was off the stage. After going through the list of performers again, I honestly have only heard of like 2 of them. I do love that you had a photo on standby, showing off the energetic crowd.

I'm not a fan of any of the acts this year either. In saying that... I have experienced both concerts so far, the performers have defiantly gotten the crowd into it whether or not they were actually a fan. They have been running an autograph signing session each night so far at 7pm, there defiantly hasn't been a crowd anywhere near as big as last years ones.

I agree with that too Jason, after experiencing both Friday and Saturday nights, I fell like tonight wasn't as good as the first night. I honestly can't put a finger on exactly why that was the case. But I defiantly walked away from tonight not as satisfied as I was the previous night.

Those screens are part of the two secret rooms within the two hero mazes. This is accessible only buy Terror Tour guest. The Scare actors have no directions from anyone besides the cast briefing at the start of the night. The screens show four areas that the guests can trigger certain effects to scare the maze goers.

The two mazes are extremely good. Very dark and full of some real creepy moments. Personally Friday the 13th is scarier with tonnes of real creepy moments involving Jason. Wyrmwood will have over 40 scare actors in it on the nights, we got to experience it with only 20 last night and it was still awesome.

Heres a quick highlights video from the opening day of the new world. Video also includes the ribbon cutting ceremony.

The smoke dose differ throughout the day. Extraction fans are turned on to keep the smoke from setting off the alarms. If you find it low when your on have a look outside when your finished and you'll see it being funnelled out.

Yep. I was there for the ribbon cutting this morning. Ill have photos and videos up very soon.

The building in the blue box and above it have all been demolished leaving quite a large space. Ill try get a photo next time I'm there.

​You are able to re-enter later in the day by scanning your pass again. Village has no limit as to how many times you enter each park, each day. However you will encounter this problem over at Dreamworld.

For those interested I have uploaded some videos of both the indoor and outdoor areas. Ill have some pictures up later today.

Do you mean the mini show they did in Main Street? I simply think that they have decided to add a new bit of "impromptu" entertainment. I have herd whispers of a new show in the works but nothing set in concrete yet.

There has been more than one incident.

The motor bikes have all been removed from the show now due to this. The were told that they needed to have a brand new show in the next morning that didn't include the bikes. Showtime have just pulled a few different hot rods and things from the garage and are using them in the show now. No official word yet but to my understanding it is a permanent move.

There were two attraction staff members there yesterday loading dummies into them. They also were taking cars off the maintenance run and sending them too the station.

There were some new tricks but mainly the same as previous dolphin shows. The main new ones would be the paddle board jump and the slide out. Yep only one child now. They pretty much do a couple of splashes at each other than its over. Yeah I guess it was but theres something about the new soundtrack that I just like better lol. They are more there as just the set. Dolphin Cove has now been rebranded as Dolphin Beach hence the shacks, hammocks and surfboards. Ok will do next time. The AOS Review will come out tomorrow morning and White Christmas later the same day. I have been pretty busy lately. The Affinity one came out early as I tend to write them there at the media event. For White Christmas and AOS they fell in a time where there was either more footage or pictures to edit or I had events on, I work in the AV Industry and this is usually our busiest time of year.

For those interested heres my review on the new show. http://thethemeparkplace.com/news/review-sea-worlds-affinity-dolphin-show/ If sharing it from my site is wrong than you can delete this post

For those interested this is the full parade for this year (Give or take a few Floats) But anyway enjoy. Also the Live Coverage will continue over to tonight.

I personally enjoyed Spirit of the Light Horse the most.

Yes haha. The first one when I was 8. Edit: Actually I think it was the Second one lol. So all of them except the original one that launched with the venue.
