Rivals

imo Big Dipper looks very comparable to Green Lantern. Both Coasters are unique to their parks as well as Australia, both seem like great crowd pleasing coasters but for coaster enthusiasts, they don’t offer anything mind blowing, but still deliver them an enjoyable ride experience. at this current moment it possibly is in Top 5 aus coasters, but once Leviathan opens next year (hopefully) i can see it being pushed out

Multiple Changes have been made to Movie world’s original 2022 maintenance schedule: - Superman’s maintenance schedule has been extended 2 weeks. - Wild West and Green Lanterns schedules have been added, Green Lanterns does seem longer then normal (3 months) but at least Wild West’s closure will be in the cooler months - all the dates have been shuffled around but now multiple “big rides” will be closed at the same time (superman, doomsday, batwing closed at the same time / wild west, rivals closed at the same time) - Scooby Doo abs Justice Leagues maintenance dates haven’t been added yet, however will both most likely take place in November again same as other years side note: Merry Christmas everyone and see you guys in the new year.

in your first comment you said it wasn’t at superman but actually in one of the fenced off, off limit areas of the park, yet now you’re saying it was at superman? chile make up your mind on what the story is before commenting

if someone says it was at superman, they were there and happened to witness it then yes, they are lying.

i think they mean 2 different launches? like how they have the first one then it travels to the second one instead of the multi pass launch system? that’s the only thing i can guess

did you get a chance to try it out? if so has anything else changed and how are the new boats compared to the old ones?

on WNW’s latest instagram post promoting the new slides, it shows the blue side of Kaboom non operational, could this just be due to the video potentially being from when they had the rides open to only staff and therefor, not needing to have both slides open, or does anyone know if the Kaboom slides have been having a fair amount of maintenance issues lately?

Superman is open this morning however, Rivals is still down

why does it literally sound like the park is falling apart-

whatever the issue was with Rivals today it appears it has been solved as well as Wild West’s maintenance date being pushed forward to the 26th.

Along with doomsday being closed, Rivals has now been added to the list

it’s a lot harder to improve with a reputation like Dreamworld had then it is to fall from the reputation MovieWorld had

you’d probably find that’s because Dreamworlds staff get around $10-$13 more an hour then MovieWorlds staff do and get treated a lot better tbh MovieWorld has declined rapidly in the past couple of years, a bit more then half of the effects on scooby doo work, half the rides break down all the time, Rivals has a lot of issues currently and the events like White Christmas have had a decline in what the event offers while still maintaining a high price point. Whereas Dreamworld’s seasonal events have gotten stronger, fast operations, friendly staff, more quantity of attractions and just overall a lot more stuff to do.

Shockwave is back open and the Seatbelts have been removed. Now every attraction excluding The Wedgie is open at both Dreamworld and White Water World.

here’s hoping they will actually open in 4 months time😩

i feel like the park needs to close for some sort of off season this year, even if it’s a one time thing, and just sort everything out, catch up on all maintenance and just to get the park back up to speed with everything, cause in its current state it’s falling apart as we speak (in some cases quiet literally, with the back of one Rivals seat covers popping out)

surely management knows that having your Stand Out attraction in this condition is not a good look for the park or brand….

last time i went down to MovieWorld, Rivals had around 7 seats down and 3 minute dispatches if lucky, Doomsday around 8 seats down with 5 minute dispatches, Superman broke down around 3x and Green Lantern had a pretty lengthy breakdown too, we ended up giving up and going to Dreamworld, were taipan’s trains were ready to dispatch when the train hit the final break run, both sides of Giant Drop running and even Gold Coaster had pretty fast dispatches…. MovieWorld really needs to try and sort these issues out before the crowds come in.

is it just me or do other people also feel uncomfortable about water rides with separated seating after the Cedar Point Shoot The Rapids accident in 2013? still looking forward to try out the new boats though

Green Lantern is operational today.

if one of the compressed air tanks exploded, I'm guessing they’d need to wait for new parts from S&S and considering how long Doomsday was closed when that needed parts, it would be closed for a while.

read the comments above and you’ll read i forgot it’s not the busy period😍

okay thanks i thought now was the busy period lmao😭😭

none of the parks have been too busy these holidays tbh, maybe it has something to do with the unvaccinated not being allowed?
