  1. Going back to Gazza's earlier post, they make self service wristband dispensers too, so wouldn't need to employ an additional staff member to sell them.
  2. From memory I didn't find Riddler too uncomfortable, although some idiots thought it would be funny to bounce up and down in the restraint while everyone was loading. Not so funny when it suddenly locked and they were stuck partially crouching.
  3. The whole Dreamworks area would have cost a pretty penny.
  4. First I'd heard about it.
  5. Looks like the Expo 88 mascot.
  6. I trust they got charged overdue locker fees.
  7. At least they were upright... http://m.brisbanetimes.com.au/travel/travel-news/movie-world-rollercoaster-breaks-down-with-eight-on-board-20130109-2cg82.html
  8. Not a great feat when there's only 3 adult rides.
  9. They'd have to network the lockers, but the PIN and colour would identify the person. Or use WnW's barcodes.
  10. Yeah, I'd rather hear the ride.
  11. The quality has certainly improved, just the quantity hasn't budged.
  12. Good to know Bermuda was a park original.
  13. Your avatar pic is spookily very close to one of my photos from when I visited DL last year...
  14. I don't normally leave events early as I like to see everything and get my money's worth, but entry was essentially free with my Gold pass and I've been spoilt by DL and WDW parades. Unlike concerts and sporting events, theme parks offer multiple types of entertainment so naturally not everyone is going to watch or experience every different type.
  15. I was surprised to see it there, was a photo op location for Halloween not long ago. I wonder where Batman poses now for photos. Other things I noticed on Sunday night - [*]GL - they've given up on the comic book wallpaper on the operator booth which was starting to peel not long after opening. None of the trains had the audio turned on, unless they fix it during maintenance I'm afraid it might be gone. [*]JL3D - lack of signage about a ride being inside is still confusing guests going by the conversations I overheard in the BS queue. I couldn't see any sign about it still being in test mode either. Wind effects are definitely new. [*]Main Street isn't designed to hold 90% of a packed house, I bailed before the parade to beat the traffic. Did the high platform on the right before the Roxy Theatre have a role? [*]Disappointing that they still haven't touched Chinatown and the pathway remains blocked, would help with managing crowd flow. [*]Great to see lots of street characters walking around, must have listened to the feedback about the Halloween events. The lady waving from a window on Main Street was a nice surprise, never seen anyone up there before. [*]Is that a dragon sitting on the roof of the building next to Guest Services?
  16. No, don't give it more thrills. It needs to be a family ride like LTRR.
  17. There's a slight difference between a land themed after an animated movie character (who does appear in the park) and a "serious" panda education attraction.
  18. Why are Chinese tourists going to travel halfway around the world to see a replica of their own palace? It's like building an Opera House replica in Beijing and expecting Australians to flock to it. And nothing like a special Pandaland with no actual pandas. I'll believe it when I see it.
  19. A real phone? I don't think they want gimped maps.
  20. I'm glad Parkz Updates aren't on Instagram.
