Or perhaps so they could close off the other entrance and begin work on it?

They're* All we can do is wait and see. They may end up doing a boxing day opening as usual.

I don't think it'll be opening on the 15th.

He was referring to the mist sprays - but the mist sprays on Superman Escape. When it originally opened (and for a while), it sprayed mist as you came back out of the building (you know, the time you go through the building after the second hill). The flood scene still works fully.

They're mostly Asian businesses who sell knock offs for cheap. For example, something that looks like an iPod Nano 4th gen, but the wheel doesn't scroll, it is slightly thicker and runs on a crap operating system. But they are only $15 each. Some of the businesses, though, don't even ship the item once paid for (e.g. probably the roller coaster sellers).

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/282937216/big_roller_coaster.html Only slightly over their budget. "tremendous size and cutting edge technology" "enhanced metal support" "lightning speed" "excellent safety mechanisms" Or perhaps they'd like to order a roller coaster 'by the ton'. http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/334948814/Steel_Structure_Roller_coaster.html

They still have over a week to do something.

^ Sounds like that, just sounds a bit more computerized at Scooby. EDIT: And also the whole 'Shepherd Tone' thing Tim said (when it's repeated).

^ I thought the same. Then I went by the times on the two videos on this page, and the speeds on all the segments (between end of lift hill and between breaks and ending) were the same EXCEPT for the time between the final break and the ending - it was slightly slower.

I did the Disney & Knotts at Halloween time (and the Knotts special after-hours event, which was amazing). I think in 5 days you could easily fit in SFMM, Knotts, Disney & possibly Universal. I didn't do Universal on my last trip though. We spent 2 days between the two Disney Parks (California Adventure & the main Disneyland). If I could, I'd probably spend 3 days there, but that's just because I can never get enough of Disney. We did get all the major stuff done in the 2 days though (with both days having 8 to 12 opening hours). So, yeah, I think you shouldn't have any problems in getting all the stuff you want to get done in the 5 days.

The main point of the Gold VIP was the free entries to these two events (disregarding the SMALL perks they give you in comparison to the normal VIP). So, we were meant to be saving '$39.99', but now that the VIP Pass Holders save '$29.99', it means Gold Holders really only saved $10.

I know you probably meant that, just felt like being a pain.

^ They wouldn't be spending in only 2 weeks, they would have spent it over the months of planning and construction...

Now the WORLD's steepest drop.

I think the back one is slightly elevated (I noticed it in another pic as well). Perhaps so everyone gets to see?

^ You even missed TOTII in that list!

No offence, but I thought you failed physics?? What about some form of thermal resistor in the circuit you don't know about, or even just the temperature affecting the resistance without a thermal resistor and limiting the power it receives? And the two very legitimate reasons above this post?? I could easily see heat being able to cause the ride to break down. It causes The Claw to break down a lot during Summer.

I'm pretty sure it's: Phase One: 'Shrektacular Festive Show' Phase Two: Official opening of 'DreamWorks land' (whatever it ends up being called) Phase Three: Opening of 'Po's Garden'. From what I gathered out of the press release, it's kind of like Mickey's house at Disneyland in Toon Town. Hopefully they pull it off at the same level. I think this will probably occupy a large amount of the empty space in Kids World at the moment.

^ I do agree with Gazza on this one. The parks' visitation is about 40 - 46% (saw it on an ASX early this year/late last) from 'locals' (Which I think is Queensland & Northern NSW Post Codes). Then a large amount would be interstate. A smaller amount from New Zealand. Asia isn't too far behind for tourists to the Gold Coast and the TINIEST percent would be from other places like Europe and Americas.

Everyone on this forum keeps saying 'General public, ohhh, general public', but seriously, I think you all have it around the wrong way. WE'RE probably the ones who don't care about the steepest drop as much, because we know, it's only 1 or 2 degrees. The general public though, what would sound better? Steepest drop in the Southern Hemisphere or Steepest drop in the WORLD? Giant Drop gains world wide attention for world's tallest and fastest free fall ride. I'm sure Movie World would also want this attention. But in saying that, I understand why they couldn't change it once Takashiba was announced.

Although Movie World advertise the ride closures as 9pm, they've been a bit lenient lately. For example, last night, Superman had 'technical difficulties' but after reopening they let the massive line outside the building in before closing it behind them. The line ended up at about an hour+ and it was 8:20ish already. They kept the ride running until everyone was through. Same happens with Batwing (which doesn't seem TOO popular later in the evening anyway) and Lethal Weapon.

Movie World... Last time I did Dreamworld was back like 4/5 weeks ago... Wow, I really should get there again.

How did you prove me wrong?? My argument still stands. If Superman had a, let's say, 1 hour line, why wouldn't people just get the locker and come back in 80 minutes to renew it, 'mate'? That's all you seem to do on this forum - try to prove people wrong. You're all too joyous.

^ In regards to the cars having anything to do with free lockers, I meant the rotational locker/holding bay like on MDMC. Notice how later in my post I changed to say 'lockers like the Superman ones'... As in ones that actually lock.

I hope it does happen so our current parks step it up.
