Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
themagician replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It is, but it’s been happening for decades. It’s probably easier to list the rides that closed that they announced would be retiring, but here’s a list of what I can think of that has closed without notice: Looney Tunes River Ride Arkham Asylum/Lethal Weapon Batman Adventure: The Ride Bermuda Triangle Sea Viper/Corkscrew Pirate Ship SkyHigh Skyway Sea World Train Monorail Mach 5 Aqualoop -
Wet n Wild have now updated their website to match the same style at MW https://wetnwild.com.au

It was very unreliable and was costing the park a lot to keep it running because of all of the work it needed -
Kigngda Ka Permanent Closure - 11/11/2024
themagician replied to TV15's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Not necessarily. I don’t know the answer, but GD was built a year after TOT and the tower was originally designed to have a drop tower attached to it because they had planned for it. Lex Luthor opened 15 years after Superman opened, My point being, the structure might not have been engineered to stand with the additional lower structure of Superman to support it (the curved structure at the base is what I’m referring to)- 21 replies

Kigngda Ka Permanent Closure - 11/11/2024
themagician replied to TV15's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I heard/read that Six Flags is probably looking at closing Superman in the near future because of its cost and reliability issues. I’d love to see Giant Drop reclaim the world record, especially over 13 years later.- 21 replies

Dreamworld Maintenance Schedule 2024
themagician replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It did have its annual maintenance earlier in the year and this ‘maintenance’ was scheduled some what last minute (according to the website) and then was brought forward by a month and has been extended out by a month too. -

Possible train refurb to match Rivertown theme? New trains? Or just general maintenance? -

Sea World Maintenance Schedule 2024
themagician replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Might be a soft opening (or they just forgot to update the website). It is listed as a 70min wait though, so good to know the refurb hasn’t improved operations (yes I know the park could be busy and a result of Leviathan and Vortex not operating). -
Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024

I’m happy to see the park finally did the bare minimum and actually replace the disgrace that was the 3D version of this. But it still sucks. For what’s a world class coaster, this is less effort than Six Flags put into some of their rides. Another day, another enthusiast complaining, but surely they could’ve come up with something so much better. -

I’d imagine they’re waiting to do that as late as possible so it doesn’t get damaged while moving heavy machinery around the site. Surely a simple guide rail can be installed within a few days?

Nope, but if you have the choice, don’t pay that much and visit the parks next year when things are open. -
Wizard of Oz - Movie World Arkham Asylum Replacement
themagician replied to Park Addict 93's topic in Theme Park Discussion
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. -
