    if you’re over 5’10, the bulky Zamperla restraints are a no go and it’s very restricting on riders, more so then the current restraints. King Claw will definitely be superior then anything they could’ve gotten from Zamperla.

    the park was running both trains on Rivals yesterday, however only one of the trains had the loud clanking noise going up the lift hill. they were testing the ride consistently both early in the morning and then again late at night so i’m sure they’re trying to fix the issue.

    maybe the significance to the community is that they are refurbing the ride with new gondola’s which has never been seen before and is now an option to parks with outdated Intamin Gyro models. if it is a new 360° model, i hope it has a non inverting and inverting cycle, i find the hang time the inverting models offer to be uncomfortable and unpleasant.

    it’s a 25 minute press conference at a world expo, correct me if i’m wrong but this is the first Australian attraction to be announced in this way. it won’t be a retrofit of The Claw or MC, unless like @DJKostyasaid it’s something never done before like TT2. my guess is it’ll either be a big new coaster, a first of its kind flat ride or something of big significance to the industry.

    if it’s being announced at IAAPA i doubt it’s going to be a renovation of an existing ride or a small flat, it will be something noteworthy. my money’s on a big coaster, but we’ll see what happens.

    Gold Coaster and Giant Drop have been refurbed in recent years, so i don’t think it’s “their new focus now”, it’s always been an ongoing project. the only two left would be The Claw and Motorcoaster, hopefully both get new restraint systems with whatever upgrade they’re getting.

    i believe they just haven’t updated the maze line up, from people who have audition for positions i’ve heard a Beetlejuice maze is happening so who knows. we’ll find out when they start posting announcements im guessing tonight.

    last year both Death Row and The Conjuring had a note mentioning that it’s their last years at the park, but in the updated website they are gone so i wonder if they are both returning. However, some years this happens then they start their maze announcements and the old ones are removed, so who knows. however, Beetlejuice is getting its own maze from what i’ve heard and what people here have seen. also, i’m not sure what this exactly is but the new WB horror encounter experiences looks really promising. it includes The Exorcist, The Conjuring 2 “villains” Valak and The Crooked Man, as well as Pennywise.

    now this is a concept i could get behind.

    if Knotts can fit in Hangtime in a boomerang plot of land, i’m sure MovieWorld would be able to fit in a coaster in the villains unleashed area.

    as far as we know the Villians precinct as a whole is done. they’ve let it to rot and with them “exploring options” for Doomsday, that will be the next attraction area for sure. besides that, they’ll just have to start getting creative.

    i feel like i remember Dreamworld confirming plans for 2025 but i may be remembering wrong, however if they go for a water ride, their only option is a water coaster, unless it’s something like a Zamperla Big Wavez. i believe the next addition will be something catering to thrill seekers though when looking at their pattern (Sky Voyager > Steel Taipan > KB Dreamland, DF and Rivertown.) in general i think 2025 will be more of an aesthetic / overall park upgrade year for all the parks. i could see Sea World potentially opening a new ride in the old VR station area since some work has been happening there lately, but who knows.

    ^ i agree about the restraints. i’m just at 6ft and they have to fully push it down into my shoulders due to the angle of the restraints. Flash is very mild, whereas forgetting the pain The Claw gives taller riders, it is a far more intense ride with a lot more airtime. redoing The Claw with the new style pendulum restraints would be good though.

    it makes me wonder what the maze set up this year will be, they could easily fit six if they wanted too. DCeased in the intencity building, Beetlejuice in showcase, then keep Hellship and Circurse in the same shed with either one big maze in the Conjuring building, or two like previous years. I just hope if Beetlejuice is happening, they don’t go too far into the Comedy to where it gets goofy.

    they do post quite a few trailers for WB Movies, Beetlejuice is a character they have out for Hooray for Hollywood which will return in either the September school holidays or at the end of the year, so that’s probably what they meant. let’s just pray DCeased doesn’t return this year so we get 3 new good mazes.

    i would love for them to replace the current gondola with the new style Intamin ones (such as Goliath at AW.) the current restraints really limit the airtime and are uncomfortable for anyone over 6 foot. maybe the ride will be getting a refurb for its 20 years.
  17. Levi
    i believe they have it set as “12 spots left” to save some spots for guests in park, as with the barcodes in front of the ride you can purchase it and ride instantly, instead of picking a time.
  18. Levi
    from what i’ve heard, the $25 price is due to the cost of maintenance and overnight charging needed for the tailwhip seats. makes a lot more sense then $30 for a seat flipped around.

    they can see the photo on their devices when they scan the ticket, the only times they don’t is when it’s a single day / night event ticket.
  20. Levi
    let’s not start complaining already, Flash went vertical and we didn’t even know the name or theme. give them time.
  21. Levi
    Flash is also currently the only ride, that’s not for kids, actually open.
