News outlets pumping out these stories about “$100m theme park attraction” with “ground breaking roller coasters”? Who is MovieWorld paying off for this sort of garbage? Expense clearly has been spared considering the poor state of the FotWW queue, and the poor planning/design overall. It’s pretty disappointing seeing this as the final product after years of hype and the concept art released. At least Dreamworld’s somewhat matches what was promised? Reading through social media reactions and reviews the feelings on this area are pretty much the same. So much hype for such a disappointing final product.

With the site update/new park map - has anyone noticed that Motocoaster falls under the “rivertown” section? Each land is designated its own colour. Red being main street, blue for ocean parade etc. Rivertown is a light green - also including Motocoaster.

Hypothetically speaking, let’s say you’re right, they’ve completely rebuilt and rethemed the cars, bought two new ones for accessibility, and rehashed the entire ride experience so it’s fresh. Whats the problem? Is that so bad you feel the need to argue tenfold and then contact the park yourself to prove your point?? It’s a new experience, one they’re investing a lot of money into, is it hard to accept that?

@ShakeShack It is astounding just how many assumptions you make considering no one here actually knows what their plans were or are. This doesn’t clearly say they’re using the old cars at all. Until it’s in writing, i’d say it’s safe to assume we are still getting the new ones listed on the website and mentioned multiple times.

I’m struggling to see the correlation…?

Scratch that. If you watch the video they certainly do push the ride-within-a-ride statement 🙄

Seems they’ve dodged any of the *actual* problems. Unless i’m confused, what would be the benefit of closing batwing to “align with the construction”? Is it not just a footpath in that general area? Keen to know what all of these theming enhancements supposedly are too..

Considering all indication of an April opening has been removed, I would say unlikely. Yikes.

What would you consider Hagrid’s at USO to be? Widely regarded as a family coaster and has a spike w a switch track…

It’s interesting with WWF. They can almost get away with the awful nature of the effects on the ride considering the theme. Definitely agree it’s in major need of a re-haul. Easily one of the best themed rides in the country and it’s in a sad state of affairs..

As usual, the precincts seem to be a few actors running around in different costumes (but typically no overall theming to make each area stand out from eachother). One I am particularly perplexed by however.. is the “Maze Hub” precinct. We are surely reaching at this point? 🤨

My god Superman needs a repaint.

Really clutching at straws there with the “first ride within a ride in the southern hemisphere” remark… They’re not wrong, but really? 😅

Been almost a year since i’ve been here! Thought i’d throw in my two cents.. Surfrider going to either MW or SW is a big plus for either park, but the idea of putting it in the middle of Superman? Awful. When you walk into the park, the first thing you see is Superman’s huge top hat standing tall and proud - it’s the signature entrance and what everyone knows the park for. Why ruin that with a tacky one-trick-pony that will stick out like a sore thumb? Will totally ruin the aesthetic. Sea World is definitely the logical option here.

White Christmas wasn't plagued with Omicron. We didn't learn much about it until just before Christmas. Cases weren't in the 50,000+ and we weren't losing any lives. Totally different ballgame now. Not to mention the vaccination mandate wasn't introduced until halfway through the event.
