Overall, I doubt Movie World will move storage around and replace it with attractions unfortunately, which means there is not much room to expand after the new coasters open up. There is only two areas I can see being used: 1. Former Marvin Rocket area 2. Seating area next to Road Runner Other than them I can't see another area that can be used, which means if something needed to be added outside Kids WB, something would need to go. IMO it seems that if it was to happen, Doomsday would most likely be the one to go due to its shit reliability. Most of the others wouldn't because: WWF got a refurb, so likely to stay, also a popular ride Scooby getting a 2+ year refurb, so not going Flash and WOO not going for obvious reasons Superman not likely to go due to it being popular, a full retrack or replacement of the launch would be more likely DCR most likely not going due to it being a popular ride, also one of the newest rides JL most likely not going GL most likely not going due to it being a popular ride Batwing most likely not going

Yes, that's one of the negatives that every park is 10-11 hours away. I am thinking of suggesting maybe Singapore for our next trip so I can go to Universal Singapore and Legoland Malaysia, but a problem is the rest of the family is GP and may not want to go. I couldn't drive to the place with the kiddy credit either because as said before, the rest of the family is GP and wouldn't drive 6 hours total (3 hours a drive) to ride a kiddy coaster, and the other thing is we wont be using a rented car (using Tuk Tuks).

Oh I thought you meant the Scooby alley was highly unlikely, not the Chinatown one. My guess is both entries will be open majority of the time, with people forced to go through Scooby when Superman is down (assuming Flash will go down at the same time and the plaza closed off entirely)

If it doesn’t then I guess it means the Superman plaza will become very busy, with it becoming mandatory to pass through to ride Superman, WoO and Flash (presumably the exit will go to Superman plaza)

Didn’t it get removed for the Ice Skating for White Christmas?

Hello everyone, In September I am going on a international trip to Thailand with my family (9 others coming, was supposed to be 12 total but 2 couldn't make it due to having a baby). We will be staying in the south-west of Thailand in a village called Khao Lak and we will be there between the 5th of September and the 13th. I sadly didn't get control of the location we were going to, which unfortunately means no credits for me as the closest coaster is 3 hours away (and a kiddy credit) and the closest one after that is 10 hours away. However, there is a good number of waterparks in Phuket from what I have heard. Does anyone know of any good waterparks there? Thanks. We would need to go on the 6-12th as we will be flying on the 5th and 13th.

And it seems Doomsday and Scooby have been removed, reducing the rides counted to 5.

I think it is actually @Ogre on here who is the one doing the updates. And yes, he should be congratulated on his work.

I am guessing thats where the old Arkham area entrance was (next to the ride entrance) seemingly confirming that the area will not be blocked off. Hopefully there will be an entrance from both Superman and Scooby without having to go through the Superman plaza.

According to the website it is:

That makes me wonder... What will happen to Superman once it is time to replace the launch? I have 2 ideas on what could possibly happen: 1. LSM Launch by Intamin or Zamperla without layout changes 2. Ride removed, but replaced by a similar launch coaster still themed to Superman (Intamin next-gen multi-launch etc.)

I personally think something like the Sesame Street dark ride at USS would work well at Movie World. The ride would be able to fit inside the current showbuilding based on my measurements, and would have even more room if you reuse the LTRR queue as the queue. But yes, still unfortunately unlikely to happen. But at least it is more realistic than the Intamin Hypercoaster suggested next to the kids area a few days ago.

What about a western style show? Movie World is lacking in shows right now and it would be good for another one. A more unrealistic idea is to move the current storage from the right half of the LTRR/JDS building in there, and then use the whole LTRR showstage for a new dark ride replacing JDS.

Could they possibly use the carpark for possible expansion? Make a multi-level carpark on the left half, with the right half used for Hotel V and possibly something else (like a CityWalk style area for example) But the area on the right half of the park is very unlikely to be used, due to flood risk as well as being close to homes. IIRC amusement rides cannot be within 85m of housing.

Interesting. I'm guessing it will be a hybrid style of Looney Tunes/50s? My guess is the current arcade games in JDS will be moved in there as well.

Great to hear. Question: How was your day, and how much rides did you end up on?

The Hot Tomato article says this: “We are working closely with our partners at Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment to integrate the ride theming with Superman Escape to encompass both rides and tell an incredible story around two integral members of the Justice League.” Could we possibly see some changes to Superman to intergrate the new ride? For example it could be The Flash and Reverse-Flash are fighting at such a high speed, causing a massive earthquake to reach Metropolis, causing the story of Superman saving the stuck train as normal.

Another reason could maybe be the long testing process. IIRC Intamin was testing Big Dipper III for 16 weeks at LPS, so lets say Flash was open on April 1. The ride would need to have testing begin by mid-December, and installation would need to be before that.

My thoughts: The theming looks much better than I thought it would, and I also like the colour scheme of the ride. The only pet peeve I have with it is that it doesn’t match up with Superman and is a whole different theme. And unfortunate timing with April 2024, as it is well past the movie release date. Also unfortunate that this is the second ride based after a movie that flopped big time (Green Lantern) “the first ride-within-a-ride in the Southern Hemisphere” Oh god, not again. Can’t wait to see when the new Village Hotel opens “The only hotel in the world themed to Village Roadshow”

Concept art, looks to be the same style of theming as DCR/GL Park description: NEW RIDE ANNOUNCEMENT! Prepare for The Flash: Speed Force, the first ride-within-a-ride in the Southern Hemisphere, coming to #movieworldaus, April 2024! Reach speeds up to 70km/h on this 30-metre-high attraction, twisting and spinning along a 67-metre-long half-pipe track! Join The Flash in a thrilling battle against his arch-nemesis, The Reverse-Flash. Get ready for the ultimate speedster showdown!

That was only sold by Intamin, it was built by ABC Fun Rides. The reason I am saying it is risky is because Zamperla have not built a coaster of that size yet. Their tallest coaster is 122ft/55 mph. TTD will be 3.5x the height and 2x the speed at least, most likely taller and faster due to the vertical spike.

That sucks. I used to be on Team Zamperla but after hearing how unreliable the Wild Mouse was I switched to Team Intamin.

Wow that is extremely slow. Even some of the kids rides would've been faster most likely! I agree that the ride will most likely stay for a few more years (until WoO/Scooby is done) then in either 2025 or 2026 we will be saying goodbye. Remember the 10-year teardown period will happen in 2026, and I have a feeling that VRTP wont bother trying to fix a very unreliable ride and just remove it.

My understanding was that Intamin just sold the product, and it was constructed by ABC Fun Rides IIRC.
