Disagree Jacko. I love river rides. Especially ones with a totally unique surprise lift & splashdown at the end. If anything I'd like to see more water rides in our parks

Exactly. I was also questioning the quality of the audio - I haven't heard it personally - but the complaints from everyone make me wonder if it's 'dodgy'. I think it's great that they made a bit more effort to make the queue line immersive

See in my mind, having audio in the queue is a very nice touch. But maybe they should have designed it so that it played some GL style music instead with occasional dialogue thrown in. Perhaps they should have created more dialogue too so that there would be more variety instead of a continual loop. I haven't heard the recordings myself, but I hope they at least sound professional. I would hope MW hired proper voice actors and didn't just use management to do it

Yeah I hate that feeling and it has happened to me. I think some people are most susceptible to it than others. I also experience motion sickness which is why I prefer 'fun' rides as opposed to really intense G-force rides. The 2 coasters that made me partially black out were the Backlot Stunt Coaster at Canada's Wonderland (but apart from that brief section where it occurred, I actually liked the ride) and Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Gazza you're on fire!

Hahahahahaha. PS mba2012 there is already an Adventure World in Perth. Not to mention it's the most generic name ever

Sad to hear about the on-board audio not working. Hopefully that gets fixed very soon. Also sad to hear about the temporary white quickshades. I really hate it when theme parks ruin a decent looking area with stuff like that - almost as much as I hate theme parks that stick up laminated A4 printed signs everywhere. I'm just surprised they didn't think about shade when they were planning the queue. I really hope they build some decent shade structures that complement the theming and not just slap up a standard Village white sail. Doesn't Batwing Spaceshot use a big temporary (but now permanent) umbrella over its queue? Looks hideous

That's a real shame isn't it. I can't understand these sound restrictions especially when I look at Google Maps and the nearest residents are not exactly squashed up against the park. There is a fair distance to the houses and there also appears to be lots of trees in between. Anyway, if this is the case, I guess Movie World will have to focus on indoor rides in this area. Fine with me! More dark rides please MW!

I'd be sad to see Boot Hill go - it's a nice little side feature and I always loved it as a kid. Although the last time I went it was in need of maintenance/upkeep. Also, don't you think it would be better to see the showstage removed and a new ride put into this area (eg. wooden rollercoaster)? Especially considering MW's apparent space restrictions

Thanks for the information! You've done some good research there

Wow Mulholland Madness is hated. I just looked at a POV and while it looks pretty basic - it's still got more theming and a longer ride time than Green Lantern

Can you elaborate on this Gazza? Just had a quick look at Mullholland Madness and it seems like it had a kinda cool theming concept

That's a shame to hear that Kumbak essentially took what was once one of the smoothest coasters around (Corkscrew) and made it rougher (Sea Viper). Not really an upgrade. Personally I wouldn't have used their services again. Let's hope they do a better job with Lethal Weapon

Brilliant point! Agree completely. Although I would add this appears to be just an Australian phenomenon at the moment (despite our better economy). They are still adding big blockbuster rides and attractions to overseas parks

Animatronics at Dreamworld? I doubt we'll see that again in our lifetime

Oh how I'd love to see the control room. In fact I'd love to see any of the behind the scenes parts of that ride. If that's the case that Sally did work on the river ride, I'd love to see them invited back to do some more work at the park (if the rumours are true) - they do some really good stuff

Well they do mention other rides on their website, some of which are far more rundown and out of date than Looney Tunes was. Im not saying Sally didn't do it - but I've never read or seen anything that says they did

Hmm I'm not convinced that Sally Corp built Looney Tunes River Ride. Can't find any info on this

^ Well that's okay... not many things are biased towards tall people in this world

It's a silly suggestion that Lethal Weapon might be or should be removed. Don't even tempt Movie World with such an idea. The last thing they should do is remove yet another ride. I actually really like the coaster. Being tall, I have no problem with headbanging and I've always found it to be smooth enough. I love the anticipation on the lift hill and the great feeling that comes with being suspended and having your feet dangling. It was one of the first American-standard coasters we got at one of our theme parks. Any moves to improve the ride by reducing the headbanging that some people experience would be welcome. I still think it's got a lot of life in it yet

I cant imagine they'd spend such a large amount of money if it was going to be scrapped. Don't forget they have also built (or are in the process of building) a new themed waterplay/fountain area themed to Nickelodeon in the Sea World Resort

Somebody commented on Movie World's facebook about not liking the final brake at the end. I did notice in one of the vids that the cars do tend to come to a slamming stop in the final brake run as the car comes back to the station. Talk about whiplash! Can't they make it a bit smoother? I'm guessing it might be because there is so little room - maybe they should have extended the station track? Also, this same person mentioned they got sick of the 'repeating audio'? Is the audio on loop throughout the ride (ie is the audio track not long enough to cover the whole ride therefore having to repeat?) Or do you think they were just talking about the fact they had ridden it so many times?

GREAT photos zane!!

I don't think everyone has shut up about it. I've read lots of comments from people saying that the theming and overall ride presentation has turned out to be quite reasonable. Nothing spectacular - and certainly not quite up to the 'old school' Movie World standard, but nevertheless it is certainly better than some of us were fearing

I'd like to see this for Movie World's western area. Not sure if there's room though or issues with noise
