Went yesterday and got to the park at about 12pm since I now live 4km from it. After standing in line for 25 minutes my turn finally came. I did the 2 pre view shows and was ready to board only to be told it's broken down. Sadly I didn't have time to go back as I was with family at the time. I'll be going back tomorrow just to ride it.

The park is now open and you can't purchase any extras as it just says coming soon.

Can't wait to check it out on the 9th January.

I went to MW on April 2nd was disappointed that they didn't have combos with drinks. It's a combo so it should have a drink with it. Anyway I'll be back on the coast tomorrow night but heading to DW and SW this time. As my fiancee hasn't been to SW yet. Also going to the SUNS game as well.

Awesome update Richard. Can't wait to visit the park next year after 3 years.

Cameron eyes Oz * James Wigney * From: Sunday Herald Sun * January 17, 2010 12:01AM Avatar director James Cameron's next gig will be working as executive producer on the film 'Sanctum' which is to be shot on the Gold Coast. OSCAR-winning director James Cameron is heading to Australia to oversee his next film project after the record-breaking Avatar. As his critically lauded sci-fi epic is set to sail past $70 million at the Australian box office, having smashed his decade-old high-water mark of $56.8 million set by Titanic, Cameron lavished praise on Australian talent. The Canadian-born director's next project is a $30 million psychological thriller called Sanctum, which is being filmed at the Warner-Roadshow Studios on the Gold Coast using the same revolutionary 3D cameras that made Avatar. Attracted to the country by favourable government rebates, Cameron is serving as executive producer, with Australian Alister Grierson directing. "I am actually coming down to the set in a couple of weeks and I am going to stay there through the underwater shoot," Cameron said. Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar.

Alister Grierson is a really talented director - his first film was Kokoda. "I would be proud if that was my third film." Sanctum tells of an expedition in an underwater cave that goes horribly wrong and is based on the experiences of Andrew Wight, the Australian who co-produced Cameron's aquatic documentaries. Cameron said much of the success of Avatar could be laid at the feet of Australian star Sam Worthington. "I think we chose well with Sam and I think his performance is the rock at the centre of the film," Cameron said. He said Worthington, who is signed for two Avatar sequels, had a combination of rugged charm and vulnerability that could make him one of the world's biggest stars. "You put those two things together and it's an irresistible combination and that's why I think he is going to go all the way to the top of the whole stardom game if he chooses to do that," Cameron said. Cameron poured cold water on internet rumours he would take over the Spider-Man franchise now that director Sam Raimi has walked away from Spider-Man 4. "There was a time when Spider-Man was my favourite comic book hero and the film hadn't been made so it seemed like a great opportunity to me," he said. "But now it's been done - and maybe they can reinvent it, maybe they can't."

My missis & I got a phone call asking us to renew our passes and get 12 months for $99. we told the lady that we would love to get it but we now live in Victoria and work full time. So the passes would be useless. I miss the Gold Coast trips but hoping to be back in 2011.

In less than 2 hours it'll be October. Where's the photo?

This is great news although we could probably expect an open date of around 2011-12

I'll be going at exactly the same time as last year (see date in photo) and it wasn't packed. It was also a hot day. EDIT : The photo was taken on the chairlift.

Was just on their web page and noticed that the tour pick up dude is no longer listed. Anyone know why he left? It says it's a 10 min taxi ride from Albion Station. When i went last year it seemed longer than 10 mins.

As the Pantene add goes "It won't happen overnight, but it will happen"

That's one thing that pisses me off with MW. They know they'll get a huge crowd but insist on running 1 train. People paid extra $$ to enter the park. At least they could have ran 2 trains.

It's all good now.

Phew, I'm glad I'm not the only one then.
