Well now I’m somewhat exciting after the “blackout” run on Wednesday night.

Has an interesting ride on SDSC 2.0 on Wednesday night at fright nights. We arrived just prior to park closure (about 4:30) so headed straight in to have a ride on scooby as I knew the line would be ridiculous once White xmas began. We boarded pretty much bang on 5pm, the majority of the projection work in the lead up to the Elevator wasn’t working (not surprising based on previous rides), elevator screens worked, however once we exited the turntable room after the backwards drop - there was zero, and I mean Zero lighting. Now I’m used to the lasers being gone etc, but the track usually still has some illumination, but there nothing. It actually made it pretty fun as you couldn’t see anything that was coming at all, bit scary for my 7 year old. It was so dark you easily see the elevator bringing the next cars up as it was the only light in the room. Super strange, but enjoyable in weird way

Went on it Wednesday night and it’s looking the best it has since opening imo. Everything worked, including the fog curtain projection, and they have some new cityscape murals and lighting in the scene just before you enter the ship towards the end. It’s usually always busy when I attend on weekends, and it’s majority families so I’d say it’s still appealing and pulling it’s target demographic

They are having competitions, giveaways and Joel Parkinson in attendance from 11am tomorrow. Funnily the post doesn’t reference Fully 6 at all, so not sure whether it’s officially open/opening tomorrow or not.

Whilst it looks unique and would be drawcard attraction, I can’t see regulations here allowing 3 slides to be in the “wheel” at the same time. They won’t even let the next slide leave on a long course slide like mammoth falls until guest are out of the pool below

It’s finished, pretty easy to see in person that all segments are freshly painted Sure the colours are not overly complementary, but they’re bright and look good. I’ve got no issue with it

Found this one but again the angle may be somewhat deceiving. It’s more so at the entry & exit points of the plaza where the roof tapers down that the clearance is very minimal

Whilst I’ve never been up there with a tape measure, it appears from the ground that the clearance between the plaza roof and the top of the monorail wouldn’t exceed 20-30cm...

So even when he says something correct, his actions are fair, his defence of the park justified - it’s ok to just label him a clown without any relevance to the quoted article or situation? It’s petty, it’s childish, it’s stupid (and yes I realise you weren’t the one who made the comment initially). If he says something stupid - call him a clown, but if he’s actually saying something of value and importance - calling him a clown is just poor form.

Why exactly? His comments on this issue are correct and he is standing up for his Park, what’s your issue?

I have to say about 18months ago I just shifted from WWW to WNW mainly because my son hit 6 yrs old and was too big for wiggle bay, and I thought wet n wild jnr would be a better fit. He’s since grown in his thrill level whilst there to do Mammoth, Rapids and Constrictor. 3 weeks we went back to WWW for the first time in well over a year and to be honest i think it’s now a clear winner. It’s better laid out, has a larger variety of rides that I think are stronger or unique offerings. Rapids is currently the most missed option, but will be adequately replaced by Fully6. The Green Room is superior to Tornado simply by not having to carry the bloody tubes, Hydro is unique, as is The Rip. Oh, and it’s a shit load quieter even in peak times. We were there today and the max wait was on hydrocoaster at about 15mins Only the late opening and dive in movies will take me back to WnW in the near future

Have been intrigued, fascinated and impressed by The Imagineering Story on Disney+ Definitely a must watch for any with even a passing interest in Disney parks, or theme parks in general. Have learnt so much, and appreciate the intricacies and efforts all that more now.

So you want to hold them all off for mid-late 2021?? Yeah great idea... Well they’ve been saying “Summer” for a couple of months, so unless it’s not open by Feb 29th 2020 then no one has a reason to be angry...

Or they should just chuck a DW and not let you eat (or drink). When in the line for SV on Sunday, we had been in the queue for about 15mins when I let my son eat a couple of shapes biscuits from the box in my backpack, whilst I was grabbing a drink of water from my drink bottle when the “ride attendant” who will now be referred to as the “food nazi” came over and said “there is no eating or drinking in the queue lines as it causes a mess”. To me, if you are going to have people waiting for in some cases 60mins in a line, saying they can’t have a snack or a drink of water is just stupid. Sure, I’m not advocating letting people bring pizzas in or dripping ice creams through the place, but surely a little common sense prevails, and I’ve never ever seen a sign in any queuehouse saying “no food or drink allowed”.

Apparently what we want is backdrops for instagram photos, a shaded seating area (aka a carport) and nachos...

Doesn’t even warrant mentioning, or even occurring. Completely redundant and stupid imo.. needs to open later, not earlier

I swear I remember reading the same post about SV this time last year haha hopefully it will open before August...

They clued onto that months ago, doesn’t work, neither does outline.com anymore

Can’t read it, but seems to refer to an issue with SW rides....

2 extra dates added - Tues 17th and Mon 23rd

For the record I was there yesterday and their is still some groundwork to do. The lockers and toilet area still looked like it needed a few finishing touches as well. I’d say they’d be aiming for Boxing Day

I figured it played music?

Appears that what is replacing Parkway may be this new Lego store birthday party concept. I know private Lego parties are quite the rage at the moment, so having an official one based at the store/park will likely prove very popular. I expect we’ll see 2-3 designated rooms appear for this,

Jumped on for a ride this morning for the first time in about 6 weeks. So noticeable changes to queue videos. The first screen when you first walk in, in front of the standard/ride express playing a video of a cast member, I didn’t really catch it as the line didn’t extend that far. In the main queue room, the old video is gone. 90% of the time the screen just shows a stock video of clouds with the SV logo and “your attendant will be with your shortly”. Every now and then this is interrupted by an Experience Oz advertisement showing a few scenes of activities, as well as an advertisement for the new annual passes. The safety video in the pre-load soon has also changed, first we get the original queue line video intro with the aboriginal story and welcome (approx 1min) followed by a direct to camera safety instruction by a cast member/pseudo pilot who explains the loading procedures, loose items policy and safety instructions. They is accompanied with vision of people doing up their belts etc. A new feature mentions if an unwell/uncomfortable guest makes a cross with their arms above their head the ride will stop. It’s a bit meh tbh with some lame jokes... As for the ride itself, I noticed immediately that a new “scent” has been added, anytime you are over the ocean you get hit with a big whiff of what I would best describe as lemon dishwashing liquid. It’s subtle and ok at first, but becomes quite strong by about the third ocean scene. I don’t know if it’s replaced the old grapes/wine scent that came about in the winery scene, as this used to be the only noticeable scent on previous rides, and it wasn’t there today. Well that or it was completely masked by the bottle of Morning Fresh that it smelt like I’d bathed in. Still getting applause at the end of the ride says it’s connecting well with first time riders, which is great.

Red slides are always faster..
