Thanks for the reply. That's disappointing. I mean how hard is it to at least have the fog going? The lasers I can kind of understand but no fog is just silly, being the fact that it was working in the last generation of the ride fine... and they have had 6 months to get it sorted

So has anyone ridden lately and can comment on if they have the lasers/ Fog in the disco room working now? I rode on opening day and they didn't have them working. Will be going to the park again soon and was hoping that they have the effects sorted out now!

Great news if true! there were no lasers, no fog, no mist effects on opening day when i rode it

Nah sounds different to me. Its purely on that corner that wraps around just before the first drop. Cant be heard any other time. I guess that spot is probably the ne that would have the highest forces on it, none the less the noise definitely prompted me to think of it. I'm sure its all good and it wouldn't stop me from riding it, I was more curious if anyone knew what the cause may be.

Thanks for the info Glad I wasn't the only one to notice. My first ride was smooth as and no noise...second one later in the day had noise I wasn't paying enough attention to notice if it was a different train though.

Speaking of "that spot".... Ive done a bit of searching and haven't been able to find much info on exactly what went wrong when they had that malfunction. Does anyone have any info on it or can point me in the right direction? When I rode GL on sati noticed that first corner after the lift hill was making bit of a grinding noise that ive not noticed before and that kind of prompted me to think of it.

They did have them synced to the parade and they also did a musical number with the lights synced to it too. It was only in banks of lights though, not individual ones which I think is what you were implying. That would be super cool if they could do that

video of last nights parade for those interested and a few pics

at white christmas last night only one train on both SE and DCR was operating.

I think they definitely have bugs to work out. Both times I went on it today you could see miscues of events. I’m sure they will tweak it over time.

I was hoping for that too but there seemed to be less effects at the moment. Disco room did have some lighting but not laser, no fog at all either.

Been on it a few times today. It’s not a massive change that’s for sure but some nice touches.

movie world just put up on their FB page that it is open today EDIT: beat me to it!

I'm going late this afternoon for white xmas. Hoping to sneak in a ride on scooby before that! fingers crossed it opens

I must be thinking of something else then. Could have sworn it was SDSC!

Slightly OT but has Scooby always had individual lap bars as the restraint system? I seem to remember a time where it was the one lap bar for both riders like WWF?

Yeah I seemed to notice it the most when the train pulled into the station. It dissipated pretty quickly and I didn’t notice it again until the end of the ride where I could smell it strongly again

Hey guys and girls, was at movie world today and while waiting to get on Arkham there was a distinct smell of burning metal. Basically like that “angle grinder” burning brakes type smell. At the end of my ride as the train came to it’s braking run I could also smell it even stronger. Has as there been any recent changes to the ride? I don’t remember ever noticing that before?

Just wanted to thank everyone for their assistance. I went to the park today and had no issues with the test seat or on ride. Superman escape I had a good 10 cm clear of the line so was worried about nothing. Man rivals is an awesome coaster! Interestingly as others have said it seems like staff are on the ball as while I was waiting in line I saw on a few occasions that they nicely explained to some people that were quite a bit bigger than me that the harness design may not fit them.

I went today. Park seemed very quiet. Only waited 10 mins for both Rivals and Superman escape. WWF was zero line, and justice league was under 10 mins.

Thanks mate, I’m almost down to 110 now so I think I should be fine coupled with the fact I’m quite tall also. Probably stressing over nothing! wont be able to go on Scooby this time anyway as it will be closed when I’m there unfortunately

Thank you that gives me an idea. I’m quite tall and muscular but definitely have a bit of a pot belly lol. Im guessing I should be ok with them both. Im only 4kg heavier than I was 7 years ago at the park and didn’t have any issues then, but then again rivals wasn’t there then.

Hey guys, LONG time lurker and first poster. I used to frequent movie world all the time about 7 years ago. Never had issues with any rides but now I’m slightly heavier and worried I might have an issue. I’m 6ft1, 113kg, chest 112cm and waist 115cm. Wouldn’t say I’m hugely fat, but overall a big guy. I’m wanting to go back again to try the hyper coaster, and ride my all time favourite ride- super man escape Do you guys guys think I’llbe fine to fit on all the rides there still?
