Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017
That makes no sense at all, given there has been no restriction to operating times in any previous season... and why would water and heating (??) procedures differ on weekends?? By that logic I guess the reason the Big Red Boat closes on weekdays at 3 is due to the high tide...

That's not extreme whiplash. Extreme whiplash is a car rear-ending you at 60km/h when your sitting stationary

Movie World Hypercoaster - colour, theme and announcement speculation
Well they did just announce that Josh Wedon will write and direct a Batgirl movie. But that was literally announced last week and came out of left field, so it won't be Batgirl. I still think the Joker is a strong chance, let's see if we get a green train... if not Joker it only leaves Bizarro Which is a bizarre choice for him, or potentially a generalised theme, such as "Battle for Gotham" that isn't themed to an individual property

Would be a good 20 or so pieces of track in the carpark now, and a similar number of supports. Crane's lifting more pieces out and more Top Golf bits & pieces also being taken out of enclosed containers and placed on the far perimeter near the metal sheeting and access tunnels. Here's the latest piece to be taken out... now I'm off to work haha

So the track pieces are transported by flatbed open trucks to the painter down the road... (that's the a cue for one of the kids on holidays to Google search for paint factories near Mack's manufacturing base, and bring up nearmap images for the past few months). I'm sure Richard will shout you a parkz cap if you can find a high-res photo of a magenta track on the back of a truck in Waldkirch

The largest roller coaster ever built in Australia will crown Movie World the Southern Hemisphere's thrill capital
Pass holders are likely to continue to visit as they've already made the investment (well at least until mid-year when the free time DW added to everyone's passes expires). what DW need to do is target and find ways to increase tourist visitation, and non-pass holder locals. Some freshened facilities won't do that.

We all understand your taste in rides and experiences @pushbutton And as you state, I'm sure you are not alone... but I'm sure even you can recognise that a ride of this magnitude and stature increases the pulling power of not just MW but all GC theme parks as tourists usually do more than 1 on a visit. The additional revenue from holidays makers and increased annual pass sales is what will pay for future attractions like your longed for new dark ride.

Theme Park Maintenance Schedules 2017
I seriously doubt that's the case. we've had terrible weather for almost the entirety of the downtime, so maintenance works were likely delayed

What's going on with Scooby Doo themeing?
Emergency exit signs must be illuminated, and emergency exit corridors/storewells must also be well lit, and not require a manual switch to be activated for the lighting to kick in.
