Looking forward to your field report from Movie World. Even if it's busier than normal, I'm sure you'll have a great time. Just be prepared to spend some time in lines.

Thanks so much for the detailed reviews! It really helps when trip planning to get such thorough insights from people who've recently visited these spots. The zoo especially sounds like an incredible experience - I'll have to make sure to allocate a full day there when I finally get down to Melbourne.

Upsell could potentially confuse guests and cause unintended purchases. Perhaps a simple verification or friendly reminder during checkout could help avoid that.

After taking another look at the inclined turntable concept, it does seem like a clever design. By rotating the station upward at an angle, it allows trains to continuously load and dispatch without needing to stop and wait for the next train to clear the station first. This should help increase throughput and reduce wait times.

What other parks in Japan should I go to?

Nagashima Spa Land looks really fun, I love the idea of an amusement park combined with onsen bathing. What a perfect way to relax and play.- 21 replies

2026 Japan Park Trip = Any Tips?
ThrillsThrillseeker replied to TBoy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It does seem like spending only 1 day combined at the Disney parks would feel a bit rushed. If I were you, I'd consider staying an extra night somewhere to spend a full day at each Disney park. But your family's priorities are understandable too. No matter what you decide, it sounds like with 2 days at Universal you'll have an amazing trip.- 14 replies

Thanks for the input on potential new rides for Aussie World. Makes sense that an Aerobat could be a good fit size-wise and add a classic ride without duplicating what's already there.

South Korea Theme Park Planning 2024
ThrillsThrillseeker replied to ThrillsThrillseeker's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Thanks so much for all the additional info, this is super helpful! Really appreciate the tip about the Korean Letters app too, that seems like it could definitely come in handy for pronunciation and basic communication while I'm there. The DMZ and tunnels tour sounds fascinating as well. Starting to get really excited about checking out all these parks and areas. This trip is going to be awesome thanks to all the great advice from you and others! -
South Korea Theme Park Planning 2024
ThrillsThrillseeker replied to ThrillsThrillseeker's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Thanks for adding that info about Gyeongju World's invert coaster, that's good to know! And yeah, definitely staying on top of T-Express's refurb is important for planning the Everland visit. Sounds like spring 2024 may be the sweet spot after things are back up and running. Really appreciate you both sharing your theme park expertise to help with my trip planning -
South Korea Theme Park Planning 2024
ThrillsThrillseeker replied to ThrillsThrillseeker's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Wow thank you so much for all the detailed info, this is incredibly helpful! Lotte World definitely sounds like a must-do. I actually came across a guide about visiting Seoul that had some similar advice https://gowithguide.com/blog/seoul-tourism-statistics-2023-the-ultimate-guide-5535 I'm surprised to hear you say the ice skating is worth checking out too. Good to know about timing Atlantis - I'll be sure to make a beeline there first thing. Also great tip about taking the City Airport route back, I'll have to see if my airline works with that. Really appreciate you taking the time to give such a thorough rundown. -
South Korea Theme Park Planning 2024
ThrillsThrillseeker replied to ThrillsThrillseeker's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Thanks for the heads up about T Express, I'll have to keep that in mind with my planning. Do you know if any of the other major parks like Lotte World typically do a lot of ride maintenance in the spring too? Also, as someone who wants to visit SK and Japan theme parks someday, any tips on getting the best value on park tickets or hotel packages? Always looking for ways to maximize my budget on these trips! -
I'm starting to plan a trip to South Korea next year and had some questions for anyone who's been. It looks like they've got some great parks like Everland and Lotte World. For those who've visited, any recommendations on must-do parks or rides? Also, any tips on getting park tickets or using the transportation systems would be appreciated. I'm also curious about the best way to visit the different areas of the country. Anyway, looking forward to checking out the parks there. Let me know if you have any other South Korea theme park advice!

Regarding the Polar Express model, I agree it's a bit puzzling to see it in the villains area instead of the Wild West area. Maybe there's a specific reason behind it, or it could be a temporary arrangement. And as for the parade, it's true that using a parade float in the parade itself sounds like the logical thing to do! But hey, sometimes things don't always go according to plan.
-
Sounds like things are coming along nicely with the new signage and queue house installation. Fingers crossed it'll be ready for summer - the park could definitely use a new lift to help spread crowds out. Are the fountains under the floor going to be programmed with lights or effects at all? That could help tie it in visually. Overall it seems like a fun new addition, even if the floor piece will take some getting used to!
-
Any idea what the timeline looks like these days? Hoping it'll be ready by summer - feel like the park could use another good flat ride. And lol on the comments about upside down seating pits - you guys always crack me up. Gotta appreciate the GD talk too. That drop is no joke!

Dreamworld - Kenny & Belinda's Dreamland Updates
ThrillsThrillseeker replied to Ogre's topic in Theme Park Discussion
That December timeline makes sense given they're still adding elements. -
Dreamworld - Kenny & Belinda's Dreamland Updates
ThrillsThrillseeker replied to Ogre's topic in Theme Park Discussion
That's a good point about adding more shade structures and places for parents to sit. A tall metal "tree" does sound like a cool idea to help add some shelter and really help transport visitors to Kenny's forest world. Do you think putting in more greenery throughout would help with the theming too? Even just some potted plants or hanging vines could help set the scene. It would be great if they really go all out to finish making it feel like a fully immersive land. -
Dreamworld - Kenny & Belinda's Dreamland Updates
ThrillsThrillseeker replied to Ogre's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Looks like they're slowly adding more theming to the Kenny attractions, which is nice to see. I'm curious though, do you think Dreamworld is better off taking their time to add more immersive theming rather than rushing rides open? Seems like it could improve the experience long term if the area really feels like Kenny's world. -
South Korea trip theme park tips
ThrillsThrillseeker replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Thanks so much for all the detailed info on the parks! I'll be going to Seoul in December - do you think weather could impact things much? Also, with the sun setting earlier, any advice on best use of daylight hours at Lotte World? Was thinking of hitting up Atlantis first thing then just riding whatever looks shortest wait from there. Appreciate the tip on cash too - don't want surprise fees. Really helpful recommendations overall!
