Are there any others for it to compete with?

Seabed Splash is opening this weekend

The Humpty-Go-Round is now open The Kenny statue and entry signage for Kenny’s Forest Flyer has been installed Ground works for the Big Red Boat coaster are underway

2022 - Sep 30 (1 day before) 2019 - Sep 27 (1 day before) 2018 - Oct 3 (2 days before) And any years before this I couldn’t find anything when having a quick look through

Tickets have been on sale for a month now, and still no nights have sold out. With another price increase this year, have they pushed it to far? The website says tickets are selling fast, but in previous years, several nights would have already sold out with only 3 weeks to go until the first night.

And at one point in the parks life they had 3. Monorail, SkyWay and the train. And they were all popular and extended your day at the park because they each offered something different. And now the park is left with none, which I think is a massive mistake.

They were just testing the octopus in that video, so hopefully it is a lot smoother and more lively when the area opens. Interesting choice to have what’s probably a complex animatronic in a water splash zone. And I agree, the renovation has turned out pretty well so far considering it was a Chinese themed area. From what I’ve heard, they’re still not done with the Reno of dodgems and this pathway, but like Kenny’s forest flyer, they just wanted to get it open to minimise closure times

The thing is, MWs fast tracks regularly sell out, while DWs doesn’t. MW could (almost) charge whatever they wanted (they shouldn’t) for Fast Track and they would likely sell out

Another update today refining the description of Fast Track and theyve also removed all references to the VQ in the App Store

All of this feels a bit pathetic. Maybe because it’s not for me and not something I would ever use or want to try out, but I can’t see this lasting. All of these subscriptions/extras they now have seems like wasted resources when they could be putting these efforts into the product they have (the parks themselves). But if anyone thinks this is worth while and they see good opportunities, I’d like to hear your thoughts

I’d glad they’re not focusing on IP Mazes, while some of my favourite ever mazes at the event are IP based, in more recent years I’ve thought the non-IP mazes have been better. I still think having 2 IP mazes is a must (which is what we’ve got this year), but having 3 in house mazes is great and should mean we get overall better mazes because there’s extra funds.

Final maze to be revealed at midnight

And then continue to sell tickets at the funeral

First new maze has been announced ‘Circurse’ Maze https://frightnights.com.au/mazes/circurse

My guess would be by the end of the year and with install early next year. If the land is going to be as well themed as stated during the announcement, I suspect the coaster track will go up pretty early in the year to allow for all the theming to be constructed around it.

In the 7 News report last week they stated that ABC Kids World would be closing in October for demolition to allow for the construction of the new Rivertown. The Play School Wheel is scheduled for maintenance from October 9 to December 8. I suspect the land will be closing on October 9, the wheel will be removed and taken to BOH for its refurbishment before being installed in Dreamland. So the next school holidays will be the last time to walk through the land.

Great to see the park providing an additional entertainment offering during the September holiday period. What they’ve announced with the event is only offering something extra at one point in the day so I do hope the park has additional music/entertainment offerings throughout the day. Having busker style performers down Main Street, roaming performances and maybe some additional food/drink trucks would be good to see also.

Movie World have teased an all new event coming these school holidays called ‘Music on Main’. They’re teasing there will be a multi-award winning music act too

I think the park are definitely doing all they can to reduce the impact of all these works on the park too. It’s not ideal and definitely could impact the guests impression on the park (because they might see it as so much is closed), but when it’s all done the park should look the best it’s done in a very long time

The guest feedback they’ll be referring to is the fact the ride is never open. But the way they’ve worded definitely comes across as if they’re blaming guests for why the ride is like this

Following guest feedback, we have learnt this ride is awful, unreliable and should be replaced, but instead we have amended the operations of the Doomsday Destroyer ride to make it even more awful.

The first batch of attraction maintenance for 2024 has been posted on Movie World’s website

They’re looking for performers and the dates have been confirmed
