The options today were stronger than last time. One clearly not a viable MW attraction, another park perhaps One decent option One great option

I guess it's extremely lucky that the entire train wasn't ripped from the tracks.

So the train didn't derail, was just obstructed?

Are you trying to infer that Godzilla is a marvel property?

Yeah it's a corporate Xmas event. Been running them for many years, as do movie world

The matrix is not real relative anymore. Great movie (first one) but you wouldn't build a new attraction around it now.

Terminator is not a WB property... Just because a movie is cool doesn't mean you can translate that into successful ride. Inception the ride - we'll stick a needle in your arm and sleep the day away.

So other than DC characters Looney Tunes Scooby Tell me what theme/licence they should apply to a new ride in your opinion

What part of his comment 'they could turn it into Diagon Alley' did you not understand?

My opinion, the further they got into the planning and details of the projext, the more they realised the cost for firstly set up & development, and secondly the upkeep and maintenance became cost prohibitive when factoring in all the other running costs of a theme park. It likely became a situation of Wild having to be an up-charge attraction to be financially viable, and a combination of market research and historical data from the success/failure of upcharge attractions showed this wouldn't be successful. Up-charging at theme parks is not something locally that visitors are familiar or in agreeance with, and I believe the thought of investing so much, advertising so heavily, but then having to charge people extra drew thoughts of massive PR issues & negative feedback from the local tourism/theme park community. Could be completely wrong, but that's my take on it all.

It seems to me as though all components are in place (visually - who knows about the electrical components etc which are not visible). I'm fairly certain they'll be aiming for an opening at some point next during the second week of the school holidays, though that will obviously depend upon testing going well

I'm on the fence when it comes to spin and spews. I don't dislike them, the claw is probably my fav 'flat' ride on the GC, but the rumoured Reef Diver replacement looks like an EKKA/travelling show ride, and for me that's not good enough for a park of DWs standing. Id expect that at Aussie World, and would be too disappointed, but DW needs something with more quality

Nice blow off there... Don't talk about something for long enough and people will forget it ever existed...

Won't be anything harry potter related, I can guarantee you that. I don't thinks its a particularly good location for a shop either. The only way I see china town alley being utilised would be in the instance that it becomes a queue house for a ride to open in the courtyard/old LW queues.

Pandamonium in KFP Land

Ahh, some golf courses have creeks and rivers running through them, I've played at plenty of them.

Yeah was expecting something worse...

It was ridiculously busy because it was the 2nd last day for everyone to use their annual passes. They all expire today. Then add holiday traffic as well.

I'm sorry, but several empty spots in a Carpark build for over a thousand cars is still packed. Did you watch the shows at the different stages? Try lots of food? Consider that maybe this night is not for you. Just like FN is not some peoples cup of tea. A flop? Certainly not.

Well I highly doubted they were going to get some random kid to do the testing...

Said who? It's not on the Carnivale website, nor can you choose those dates when buying tickets

Won't be open, it's not listed on the Carnivale page or map for open rides. They are not going to change things up just for one night

Yes, they called the media out to the park to take photos of a fake car. Yep, that's definitely what happened...

Tree sticks = branches?? Maybe?? I dunno..

No idea about Scooby line, I see absolute zero point in lining up to go on an indoor dark ride at night when you get an identical experience during the day. I'd say it would have been busier than other rides due to the vast number of families with young kids in attendance SE, GL & AA are different experiences in the dark.
