Yes, the shed in the background is the former Intencity building which got changed in September IIRC

The start of the Midway area, just after you pass Scooby/Dirty Harry

In my opinion, I feel like Doomsday will be the first to go after the new expansions, yes Green Lantern is also unreliable but at least that isn't running at half the speed and without inversions. As @Rivals said, they probably want the ride to be open whilst WoO and Flash are being built and Scooby is closed. This would be my idea for the Doomsday area: December 2025: It is almost time for the 10-year strip down period and Scooby, WoO and Flash are open. MW decides its not worth the investment fixing up the ride and announces it is closing like what happens to Buzzsaw Showcase also closes, as the new ride will be taking up some of the building. Late January/Early February 2026: Ride closes forever, with the precinct blocked off. February 2026: Demolition starts. April 2026: Construction starts inside showstage, as well as outside showstage where Doomsday was, with walls being placed in front of the building for the queue. June/September 2026: New ride is announced to be a simulator, with the area around it being rethemed including the right side of Scooby, the Western cafe, former Intencity and Midway Games. December 2026: Ride opens to the public The simulator would have the queue where Doomsday was, and it would be fully indoors. The actual simulator, however would be inside the Showstage which saves costs on having to build a new building from scratch. As said above, the area around it would be rethemed to match the area, which includes Intencity, the midway games and the Western cafe.

Maybe a Wonder Woman theme if they get an RMC Raptor like the Six Flags parks?

There isn't much thrill coasters you could add with the space unfortunately. I would personally replace the ride with gardens, with the first part of the queue in this scenario being replaced with facades as well as a few stores, bringing an upgrade to the area (think of the Marvel area at IOA for inspiration, although toned down). The only negative to this would be that there would be exactly 0 inverting rides throughout Village.

Unfortunate if true. Hopefully there is at least an entrance from Scooby, I would hate for it to be like Arkham and have just the entrance from Superman, which is not good for crowd digestion.

I'm hoping when Wizard Of Oz opens there will be a pathway from WWF to the area, like it shows in the concept art with people walking toward the Boomerang from behind Scooby. I think one of Movie World's biggest problems in terms of crowd management is that it is the smallest park on the GC in size by a fair margin. For example, Sea World is around 25hectares, but Movie World is half that. Assuming most people go to SeaWorld and MovieWorld, there would be around the same amount of people there, and at MW since everyone is inside a smaller space everyone is packed closer together, whereas Sea World is more spread out. Not to mention the number of dead ends in the park currently, something the other parks have less of, affecting guest flow. If they have entrances from WWF, Scooby, Superman and Main Street to WoO, it will help guest flow and reduce the amount of crowds packed together. TLDR: MW is smaller in size than the parks but has the same if not more visitors, and as a result everyone is more packed together, so there should be a new pathway from WWF to WoO to help with crowd flow.

I am a bit disappointed about how the Chinese building is still inbetween PSW and SS, why is it there when it doesn't fit in with Ocean or Play School? Also the pathways look dull, especially compared to the colourful Nickelodeon and Dreamworks paths.

It could be very close to the entrance of WoO if they decide to open the Lethal entrance again (please do Movie World). Also with Super Nintendo World as an example at USJ they have a Mario store that isn't close to SNW IRRC, and same with USH. However I would prefer a gift shop in the actual area though, make it so the exit of the SFC would lead you into the gift shop.

As some people may know, around a month ago the old Kodak/photo centre in Main Street has been relocated next to the Daily Planet, with the old location closing and currently being turned into a new store. Here is my question: what are we thinking the new store could be? Looking on social media, Jaggs Journeys has said it could be a new Looney Tunes store, while TSPN thinks it could be a Wizard of Oz store.

Could it maybe be an extension for Nickelodeon Land? Looking at the qldglobe site it shows the location of the slab in-between New Atlantis and Nick. Maybe a new flat or two with some of Nickelodeon's new properties (Paw Patrol etc.) to update the area like with Marvin at MW? Whatever comes there, I would like for the white sheds at Leviathan (maintenance/station) to be covered up. Maybe paint it green to match the surrounding area like what Disney does?

I think the problem with that is that licensing rights go through the BBC, not the ABC IIRC, so it wouldn't be the same bundle that Dreamworld got for things like Bananas/Play School etc.

I was thinking about it recently and this is what I would to to KWB: Split the area into three minilands similar to the previous Dreamworks: the lands would be Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry and Flintstones. The Looney Tunes area would consist of the carousel and Road Runner with some updated facades The Tom and Jerry area would consist of a rethemed Marvin/Cages, with two new rides replacing Speedys and Railroad The Flintstones area would consist of a rethemed JDS with a play structure

I agree. I don’t see a problem with cloned coasters, and it’s not like it is the worst here. In the US there is cloned coasters in the same states. An example in Florida is Barnstormer and Woody/Trollercoaster at Magic Kingdom/Universal Studios are the same coaster, the only difference is that they are mirrored. Same as FOTH and the Dragon Coaster at IOA/Legoland, except the latter has a dark ride section.

Yes it is, both are the Vekoma SFC450 model.

We can start to see the layout of the ride based on the footers. As they are being poured, I am guessing in the next few weeks we will start to see the track for both rides. It seems they are using space effectively, the SFC is literally right up against the studio roads and the Boomerang is in a very tight area. I guess this means we will never get expansions due to the lack of space.

There is a hole in the ground where the drop is supposed to be for the SFC (thanks to Brett Doohan on Facebook)

If true, hopefully something better than them can replace it. When I went in Feb this year they were running very slow as they were speed controlled. I would be happy if a flat or two replace it, the more thrilling the better. Also looks like the golfing has been quietly removed and replaced by a picnic area.

I've done the math and the combined company will have more than 50% of coasters in some states at their parks: Ohio, Massechusits, North Carolina, Missouri, Illinois, Virginia and Oklaholma will have more than 50% of coasters at the new Six Flags. I am opposed to the merger as it means some markets where CF and SF are directly competing will have a total monopoly, for example Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and California's Great America are currently competing, if the merger goes through then they will be sister parks. Then add Knotts and SFMM and they have 4 parks in 1 state, as well as 49.5% of all coasters at those 4 parks. Expect less additions as some areas will have a theme park monopoly. Could we see the Six Flags name come to the other parks? The new company name is using the Six Flags name opposed to the Cedar Fair one, and most parks that were acquired by SF have changed to Six Flags (name). Possibly we could see some parks get "Six Flags (name)" (Michigans Adventure, Valleyfair, Kings Island etc.) while the more historical ones (Knotts, Cedar Point) get "(name): A Six Flags Theme Park" Finally could we see DC/Looney Tunes come to CF, with Peanuts coming to SF respectively? The press release said that they would continue to use them properties, and previous buyouts from SF/CF have gotten their areas transformed into DC/Looney Tunes and Peanuts respectively, like with Nick to Peanuts at the Paramount Parks.

It feels that the new area is in a weird hybrid of both Dreamland and Ocean Parade. The buildings and theming look like something from the latter, however the aesthetic, path and map make it feel as it is in Dreamland.

I know that, I was just thinking it could've been a lot better if it was like the Seven Dwarves Mine Train with a dark ride section. The theming is really good but unfortunately that doesn't make up for the lack of length.

I would say it is that style of track with Big Bear Mountain trains. Speaking of that ride I am hoping Jungle Rush is longer that. It seems underwhelming for Disney standards, that is only 50sec including lift hill.

Could it have a chance of being relocated instead of scrapped? It was added less than 2 years ago, I would like to think it is being moved to make way for something in the area.

The drop area has been filled in with dirt completely (thanks to Jaggs Journeys)
