Not sure why Wipeout having maintenance done at the end of the summer holiday period is a surprise to you...

No safety feature can be based on guess work or estimation. A safety feature works on facts. You can’t just estimate a groups’ weight to let them on a ride if there is a weight limit. My estimation would be different to yours and out by potentially 100s of kgs.

I am not aware of any weighbridge that guests stand on prior to boarding unless this was added during recent maintenance... it was foreign to me visiting WWW recently and having groups weighed before getting on slides (admittedly it’s probably been like this for a while as I hadn’t been in quite a long time).

Lucky you... I’ve never had a Disney welcome in my life at MW, I went in at midday, when I left at 1pm was still only 1 person in and line was still to the ticket booths. MW have told me they are striving for excellence in customer service... at this point I’d accept a moderate level...

Haha.. NOW, not NOT my bad and yes, DW staff are super friendly

Chalk another one down for MW’s death spiral into non-existent customer service. Just got to park, only one turnstile open on a Saturday to get in, so line back last the ticket windows (so yes for the unfortunate day trippers you walk through after getting your ticket and then have to go back behind the ticket booth to line up and enter...). Couple of people with Prams go to the turnstile clearly marked “disabled and prams entry” only to be yelled at by security that those gates are no longer used and they must join the regular queue (hmm maybe take the sign down then...). My son and I get to the front, our Membership cards don’t scan so we are informed “oh you too, these don’t seem to work anymore for anyone today - you need to go to the ticket booth inside near where the roof starts”. I incorrectly went to the guest services and was told no, it was the little booth that usually sells up sells to OA etc. No one in line which I though was great I’ll get this sorted quickly and get on with my day. I walk up, the girl is busy playing on her phone (hiding it behind the pc monitor), Looks up at me as if I’ve just annoyed her and disrupted her snapchat time, I tell her I’ve been sent here to sort my passes out, and without any thought she sternly says “well you can’t do that here, my camera doesn’t work so go back to the front” and looks back down at her phone... seriously if it wasn’t for the fact my son loves coming here, I wouldn’t step foot in the place on recent experiences. It’s truly pathetic... oh and the drink refills self-service no longer exist... both the food kiosk at entry and at Gotham burgers are now closed and shuttered up. You must line up and be served a drink. Making the already excessive queues at Gotham ridiculous and at the entry movie world has gone to shit. Rant over.

Rooms would be my guess... as for the funhouse, my guess on that would be a retheme of Kevil Hill

Not sure Why you are assuming it has anything to do with Seaworld. There are literally hundreds of properties registered on Seaworld Drive including a shopping centre which is where i think is more likely this tenancy is fit out is for

Seems it’s hard work getting all the members of the Justice League to work at the same time... no wonder Gotham & Metropolis have such bad crime rates...

So make a day of it? Take the kids after lunch, do the regular stuff, then stay for some of the night. Kids will like the music and roving entertainment, hopefully the food will be ok

Was hoping they’d do the DC heroes vs villains night parades again for the school holidays but reckon this probably puts to bed the chances of that occurring

Worse case scenario they just do a deal with Aeroplane and just grab some of the fish out of shark bay to put in there and have a slight name change The Aeroplane Jelly Fish Exhibit

MW loading and efficient can never be placed in the same thesaurus, let alone sentence...

I’m confused as to why anyone is putting Justice League on a list of rides to close. It would be nearer to the top of my list of rides to still be in operation in a decade.. it’s near New in terms of ride age, it’s indoors so doesn’t have track weathering like a coaster in the elements, it’s light on maintenance, and could seemingly be updated without too much problem (video images etc). I’d bet JL will still exist in some compacity in 10 years. i don’t see WWF going anywhere in the next 5 years given the hole it would leave in the park, and the cost associated to demolish and level, and then replace. The only currently operating rides on the GC that I could see potentially going in the next 5 years would be Wipeout & HWSW. As for suggestions of the carousel and swing ride at DW... why? Again, limited maintenance, popular, high capacity. Not going anywhere..

Bahaha whilst I wouldn’t rate myself particularly highly in a rank of enthusiasts on this site, I have personally never heard of “stapling”in the way you just explained it, and it seems most haven’t. Given the OP seems like he’d struggle to spell his own name, I’m not surprised people questioned whether he meant another word altogether. This still makes no sense even with your explanation. So he wasn’t stapled today? So he went on the ride without being secured?

Far out, I’m no spelling nazi but a proof read before posting isn’t hard... Staff were stapeling people?? right... scooby stuck before the backwards drop? You weren’t stuck, you were probably just the second car to be released backwards... Isn’t WWF always open 10-5 on weekends ?

🤷‍♂️ Think he’s saying people try and assume things and are wrong, but Parkz is right?

Didn’t we all think this was happening in a similar downtime period last year? I’ve seen nothing official.. you’d think they’d make a song and dance about the fact a “new” ride is opening

But if you are wrong, we’ll have tequil-ya

Unless it’s disappeared since Saturday, there is still a theatre. The cinema, however, is gone...

What an absolute crock of a news story and who is this goose Communcation Manager from DW? We’ve got a kid saying “a trolls ride will be great” when it’s known that isn’t happening (why put that in your clip??) and the major “secrets we don’t want to reveal” are that there will be a costume section where people can get dressed as Trolls - no doubt an up-charge, and a cupcake shop - which again is an added cost. Add roving troll Characters to the park, put the show in the existing theatre and you could have saved all this construction which is centred around upcharge & f&b revenue... Oh and then cue the footage of the flipped raft and body/parts covered in sheets - so as Mummy & Daddy call the kids over to the tv to see the story on the news about Trolls they get tragedy thrown at them...

Now now Skeet... this attraction will be right up there with the best in the world - think Wizarding World at Universal & Star Wars Land at Disney. Dreamworld says so themselves... Dreamworld general manager marketing and communications Phillip Hancox said this Trolls extension is a world-class, world-first attraction.

Well they do, it’s just full... this is as close to that area as you could get really. It does appear plonked, and mistimed, but I’m sure it will be popular with little kids none the less

I’m also amazing that the ride was booked out a month in advance for fast pass access?? WTF? How long are the bloody iconic rides booked out for in that case?

Interesting one... part of me hates that this guy is basically a con man. But nothing he is doing is hurting anyone. Sneaking into the park without paying is poor form and I wouldn’t condone that for a second, but I’d have been much more concerned had he done so without going thru security screening etc as that would have really put some security failures in open view. As for the hotel and the fast pass - I have no real issue - he’s talked his way into a few benefits, no difference to chick flirting with a cop to avoid a ticket, or me being super complimentary to the girl at my local Carvery shop so I get extra pork crackling... It’s unfair that everyone can’t do it - but that’s life. I don’t think he’s giving anyone a bad name, other than himself for those who will chastise him for his actions. If he’d paid for entry - I’d have no problem with what he’d done.
