Best thing about those FB reviews is the lady who wrote that her daughter burnt her hand on a spoodle whilst trying to put sauce on her pasta! How long was the dog in the sun to get that hot? And since when are dogs welcome in the park, let alone Ricks?

I doubt we'll see another coaster at MW in the next decade. It would be compared to DCR, so if it's not gamechanging it would be considered a poor cousin, and if it is gamechanging it's effectively competing against its own product. DW desperately needs a quality coaster to bring the crowds back. Nothing brings crowds like coasters (hence the propensity of these being the choice attractions at our parks). SW desperately needs a coaster too. Family rides are awesome, and certainly I feel DW probably has the running in that market currently, and that may remain their focus, they don't appear too intent in entering a "my coaster is better than yours" war with MW, due to the investment required. The important thing to note is that a well-themed immersive dark ride, especially with no existing building to utilise, is going to set you back pretty similar money to what has been spent on DCR. That's when ROI comes in, and will a $30-40m dark family ride have people lining up 200 deep "just incase" it opens today as a new coaster does... the likely answer is no, which is why funds are diverted elsewhere

The supervillains area at MW is as well themed as any universal park I've got recollection of. WWF whilst dated is well themed Scooby was, and by all accounts will Return to being, well themed. I've no doubt family attractions are in the pipeline, but I seriously doubt that equates to a dark ride given the availability of space and cost of building a soundstage/building to house the ride. **apologies as this is another thread derailed now***

The matrix exhibit was a temporary attraction. It stayed whilst relevant. If it was still open today they'd be lucky to get 10 people in there a day.. LTRR became too costly to upkeep. Classic, fan fav no doubt but everything has a lifespan and Re-investment requires a Return. It's all well and good to keep maintaining attractions but if doing so doesn't sustain or increase patronage at a reasonable level it's bad business

Driving past this morning and they still had a crane/worlds tallest cherry picker with workmen working on the bottom of the Joker head where it joins to the supports
-
Did a drive about a 30mins ago but unfortunately no illumination on the Joker head
-
is there an unwritten rule that you can't soft open rides on a Monday??
-
Any progress is positive progress.

Driving by at 4:30am this morning, I have to say the spotlights they have set up highlighting certain features of the track do look really good

I work 5mins from the park, so I'll be waiting with baited breath for one of you to post 'soft opening now' and I'll be in the car haha
-
Certainly was a big event, at 9:45 the carpark was about 75% full
-
Driving past the park at about 5:45 and the train was stationary at the top of the lift hill. Maybe doing a trial evac, though no one was on the lift hill at the time
-
I'd even go as far to say that it doesn't just look like theming is going up, it actually is!
-
How is it first access when the public can go in from today and see the cub? SW seriously don't get this whole 'sneak peak' deal...
-
It's Membership/VIP pass admission ie, if you have a FN Membership or VIP pass you choose that option
