Oh boy I hope that's not the finished product. Why would 'alien invasion 3d' be part of the Justice League emblem? It should be separate and in a slightly more 'exciting' font. Fingers crossed they just whipped that up temporarily for the ad

I don't understand. Why would they have dropped the already cheap price by $10 in a year when they are adding such a fantastic new attraction? If this keeps up, I really wonder if they will be able to justify top-notch attractions going forward

Yep you're right. Totally agree. I think they should wean them off slowly by lifting the price a bit more each year. I mean, aren't families getting enough handouts and bonuses from the Government now to afford this stuff? PS xRazzBerryx - Don't get your hopes up about the new attraction

And boy does that annoy me. People have become SO FRIGGIN CHEAP these days!

I just don't see Dreamworld doing it. Especially when they have already built Shockwave, Buzzsaw & Dreamworks in the last year. I'm pretty sure as far as Ardent/Dreamworld is concerned, the capex spent on these 3 attractions would have been intended to see them through the next 3 or so years with no other major new rides. That's just how they work unfortunately. Maybe this will teach them to actually choose DECENT rides when making their next purchase. My bet is on it being a minor attraction similar to Flowrider, AVPX, Redline etc. All the better for Movie World to show them up

Oh Dreamworld, eat your heart out! PS Glad to see they finally released some new artwork/promo material to go with this attraction. Maybe they will put in a decent marketing effort afterall

Great to hear from you again after all this time Richard! I think that's a really important point regarding Sally being both the ride manufacturer and the theming company. I think there's no denying that Movie World's theming standards have slipped with their last few attractions, maybe not to a terrible level, but certainly not matching their past efforts. But with Sally on board, they will have no choice but to have great theming! Hopefully Movie World will see from the success of this ride that it is worth their while creating truly immersive and well-themed attractions

I think that's great. So many other parks would have been lazy and just left it as it was if they hadn't completed it as part of initial construction. Well done

It sounds amazing. 16 animatronics? Fantastic! Just when I thought Village Roadshow were giving up on animatronics. So pleased they aren't

You are spot on with the comment above. I couldn't agree more

FAIL MOVIE WORLD/S&S!!! Sorry just had to get that out of my system

I really like the choice of name for the new ride, I think it works really well. But I just wonder why they didn't release any concept art or logo to go with yesterdays announcement. Seems a bit odd. What was it about yesterday that made them decide to announce it, even though they didn't provide any other new material to go with it? I'm assuming considering the magnitude of this attraction that it won't be another marketing failure like Arkham

Totally agree. What a fantastic addition. And so pleased to be welcoming a DARK RIDE back to the park!!

3 parks for a whole year only $99.... crazy cheap madness!

...and the main simulator building appears to be significantly smaller in height than both the library and batcave buildings. Compared to most of the show buildings/sound stages at Movie World, I'd say it is actually one of the smallest in terms of height

Well that's great. STILL NO AUDIO despite it being advertised as a major feature and a return to the 'roughness' of its previous incarnation. FAIL

"Gone are the days of Giant Drops and roller coasters" ... what a load of crap! I hate it when journalists come out with sweeping statements like that. There have been so many claims about the end of traditional theme park rides over the years and the replacement with virtual reality attractions etc. it's never eventuated and it never well. I also don't buy the line "Dreamworld's Bob Tan is on the lookout for new attractions". No he isn't. It's Dreamworld we're talking about. As much as I'd love to think Dreamworld management would actually go to these theme park conventions overseas and consider purchasing a really decent new ride, I just don't see it happening. Village Roadshow on the other hand...

Yes, if they were items being taken AWAY rather than installed, then surely that can't be secret

GREAT news! Thanks for that

Okay from this comment it's safe to assume you know something

That thing has had its fair share of re-themes and relocations over the years anyway. It's probably very tired. When the park first opened it was called the Roulette and was, funnily enough, themed to a giant roulette wheel with accompanying cards and dice theming as the centrepiece

You are probably right. Unless they are referring to an 'antarctic adventure' style ride, as opposed to another animal exhibit. More than likely I am just being hopeful that something is going to be done soon with Bermuda and am clutching at straws

Not that we take too much notice of what people say on facebook but somebody posted on Sea World's page "Bermuda is going to be a antarctic theming but Sea World - Gold Coast, Australia isn't telling anyone just yet". Just seems strange that someone would be that specific if there is nothing in it. Worth watching

That's true. Although Ghost Hunters was a different style of shooting ride compared to the type we are talking about. It was essentially a 'moving video game'. The individual ride cars moved around a track but you weren't shooting at objects and sets, rather you were shooting at computer graphics that were being projected onto the screen of your vehicle

If that ends up being the case I think this will be an excellent addition to MW. Not only would it bring a much-needed dark ride to the park (especially after the recent closures) but would also be bringing a whole new type of ride to Australia. Shooting dark rides are incredibly popular in the US. Of course we can trust good old Village Roadshow parks to deliver once again
