Wizard of Oz - Movie World Arkham Asylum Replacement
My reading of the map is (just to spell it all out) Entry (and exit) into the land Emerald City/Munchkin Land (the main plaza area) You enter into the Emerald Palace (former AA queue building) which will have the lobby area before picking the queue for the coaster you choose You exit where the AA lift hill was and join the outdoor queue for Wicked Witch Or enter the queue for Kansas, which is roughly where the break run for AA was Here’s the exit for Wicked Witch And the exit for Kansas, which joins the exit path that Wicked Witch uses And then there appears to be a couple of paths for lookout points or even just BOH access, but that’s about it.

Accident during Stunt Driver show at Movieworld
It still baffles me that the first version of HSD began at the end of 2008 and was replaced early 2014 (just over 5 years). And I thought it was a very solid show that had some good rewatch ability. While HSD2 (despite having several changes over the years) has now been showing for over 10 years and it’s not good at all. It needs to go.

Area of Kids WB Fenced Off
I’ve been wondering the same thing, but also, what was wrong with the existing first aid building? Because they essentially just swapped locations! There is a chance that building was having issues and needed to be removed and it did also mean they would finally remove the thatched huts. But was it all necessary? Don’t get be wrong, the new building looks pretty decent (don’t love the colour scheme, but that’s a personal preference) and having an arcade next to the kids area is likely going to bring in a greater return for the park. But I’d argue that money could’ve been used a lot better to build a new kids ride or use those funds to go towards refurbishing the entire kids area because right now it’s very tired.

Sea World Spooky Nights 2024
There is the argument less is more, but DW are consistently putting on additional events every school holidays (that are free with admission), while across the road only do it in Summer and Easter. While I would agree the quality of these events might not be the same as MW's, at least they are offering something 'extra' for locals and tourists. If these overlays weren't on, would we miss them? Probably not, but I'd rather have something than nothing. That's providing it doesn't detract from the everyday park experience, which I don't think they do. Most of these overlay events have been happening for a couple of years now, so there will come a time when they will need to mix it/refresh them, but that applies to every event at all the parks (looking at you Carnivale & all Halloween events)!

Murrisippi Motors - Vintage Cars to be relocated to Rivertown area at Dreamworld
Parts of the track have been wrapped up to protect it from the construction of the vintage cars circuit. And I don’t think the train was installed onto the track until after the track had been wrapped. I’m sure DW will be posting content of the train completing its first circuit when it happens, so I think it’s safe to assume it hasn’t happened yet.

Unlikely. If there were issues they would’ve likely been resolved sooner. Because of the scale of the plane, they were likely removed to prevent them being damaged or to provide greater access for the plane’s installation. It wouldn’t surprise me if this track has already been reinstalled.
