Yeah...so as ispy just mentioned, turns out it was a fake 'official' account. Have to say the moron must have too much time on his hands. So, back to square 1. What mazes would u like to see??

And it seems like the last is like film vault @FrightNightsAU: The last maze of #FRIGHTNIGHTS2013 will include 12 different movie scenes, how can anyone possibly handle all that? http://t.co/TQytEEyORv Oh and Chucky is not a maze it's a movie in Roxy Theatre Haha...that was them replying to me.. Roxy is a 4D theatre - 3D + motion/water/air effects @FrightNightsAU: Sorry if there was any confusion, but there will be 5 mazes this year, a new 4D movie (#CHUCKY4D) and still to be announced live shows.

Film vault was done very well last year, would be one I would have been happy to see again but it's been announced now... @FrightNightsAU: Here's a spooky attraction other than a maze, we bring you the demon in the doll, #CHUCKY4D! http://t.co/w3Yrrj5c8u @FrightNightsAU: Keep in mind that #CHUCKY4D was not the last and biggest announcement, there's still 1 maze to go! Conjuring, evil dead, scream, walking dead, chucky4D + one to come .... 6 mazes!

Sinister would be cool

@FrightNightsAU: Welcome back the anticipated #THEWALKINGDEADMAZE! Now with new scenes and scares sure to make you fear for your life. http://t.co/6RNwLwY6Sl

?? When it's the official fright nights 2013 twitter page run by movie world?

Really looking forward to the Scream maze. Was one of the first horror movies I ever saw and really re-launched the teen horror genre.

Whilst the result was not as positive, year on year DW performed more strongly than 2011-12 FY

Rumours appear to point towards a large attraction opening late 2014 at DW, which may or may not explain the lack of capex investment outlined for this financial year (outside of the zombie attraction and the aboriginal precinct)

Theme park profits surge Martin Rasini | 09:01am August 23, 2013 VILLAGE Roadshow put on a stellar performance in the 2012-13 financial year, lifting attributable after-tax profit more than 50 per cent to $50.9 million on the back of a standout showing from its Gold Coast theme parks. The profit was earned on income of $936.357 million and saw earnings per share rise to 36.2, from 34.4 in the previous year, and full-year dividend jump to 26 a share from 22 previously. VRL said earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation jumped 6 per cent from $154.7 million to $164 million. It said its Coast theme parks, despite bad weather, delivered gross earnings of $83.5 million, up from $82 million in 2011-12 and their second highest EBITDA ever. The Gold Coast parks division comprises Movie World, Sea World, Wet'n'Wild, Australian Outback Spectacular, Paradise Country, Village Roadshow Studios, Sea World Resort and Water Park, and Sea World Helicopters. Movie World attendance topped two million for the first time. The three US water parks lifted gross earnings to $7.8 million, from $5.4 million, taking overall theme park gross earnings to $89.3 million, up from $87.4 million. Theme park visits rose by 709,000 to 5.4 million, revenue was up by 5.6 per cent to $14.4 million and EBITDA 1.8 per cent to $1.5 million. VIP annual pass sales underpinned the performance of the parks whose admissions revenue rose $3.8 million to $139.3 million. Chief operating officer Bob White said the VIP passes constituted a value offering and were a major business driver. "We are selling 900,000 units and it is not only southeast Queensland residents who are buying. Interstate visitors also find the VIP pass attractive," he said. Mr White said VRL's commitment to "fresh and compelling new attractions" would see the opening at Sea World in late spring of Storm Coaster -- a ride through a storm-ravaged container port. He said VRL also was extending Sea World's Polar Bear Park where a cub is due in September. "We are optimistic about our theme parks, particularly with the falling dollar which means they offer compelling value," he said. VRL said its Wet'n'Wild park in Las Vegas opened on time and on budget in late May, joining facilities at Phoenix, Arizona and in Hawaii. VRL manages and holds 51 per cent of the park and said trading at all US venues was solid. It said the Wet'n'Wild Sydney, to open in December, would feature Australia's largest wave pool and "attractions unmatched by any water park in the world". VRL said the focus now was to explore park opportunities in Asia. Mr White said while it often worked well to have a partner in Asia, the company "will look at each opportunity individually". VRL said work was progressing on a theme park on Hainan Island, which it will manage for Guangzhou R&F Properties, and will open its first stage in late 2014. It said its cinema division, which is rolling out 18 new cinema complexes across Australia, achieved gross earnings of $58.5 million, up $7.4 million. But earnings from its film distribution division fell from $50.8 million to $46.2 million. The 13 second-half dividend is payable on October 1. VRL shares opened at $6.11 and closed at $6.16. http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2013/08/23/456853_gold-coast-business.html so looks like we may get The Storm prior to December

I'm sure we will get at least the regular 4 mazes Evil Dead The Conjuring ?? ?? Hoping they make a change from the Psycho 3D maze in the Scooby queue area - its been around for 2-3 years now so time for a change Doubt we will see Saw back again

You whinge more than my 7 year old nephew. Do u want a pat on the back and a cookie each time you make a post?? I think you may have acceptance and/or self-esteem issues. Best speak to your parents about that...

movie did surprisingly well. havent seen it myself but the trailer looks decent

If travelling with family (parents) who have no interest in coasters, SSMM may not come across too appealing for the group? Is that why you are favouring Knotts? I'd go as far as saying USH is more family friendly than Knotts as well

Any reason why you wouldn't be doing Universal Studios?? Personally I'd put that above Knotts

I've never had one either, except on fright nights

Just posted on DW FB page

Whilst I agree it is not 'new' and really just a re-jig of a previous attraction, I believe this attraction will be bigger & better than AVPX. Guess we'll wait another 6 weeks and find out

Think the name is a little cheesy tbh.... Oh well. As long as the attraction is first class the name means very little

Every ride needs downtime for maintenance. November is off peak and just before Xmas - no better time to have it down. There are at least 4 rides at DW that are more intense than Cyclone

There is only so many Halloween themes that can be done across a theme park. I wouldn't be complaining because no matter what theme was chosen it would have been done before in the US Given 99% of people who go to Fright nights would never have attended Universal's offerings, it will be a first and unique experience

From my experiences the last 3 years there is no difference between the nights. Only thing that changes the experience is the weather. Last year we waited in a crowd for 45mins in driving rain just to get down the path to get to the mazes in the sound studios. But Goodluck picking a good weather night 1-2 months in advance!

If your major drawcard is coasters go to MW.. 4 to choose from (5 if u include RR)..

Well SW's major market is families (and international tourists) so the polar bear cub will be extremely popular. This allows them 2 major drawcards in successive holiday periods. Smart move IMO. Oh, and if the availability of Cyclone is a determining factor on your choice to visit DW - you're focus as a thrill seeker is in the wrong direction. I'd rate TOT2, GD, BS, wipeout, the claw & pandemonium as more thrilling than Cyclone.
