New parade same tree by the looks of it. New floats are amazing looks like they went all out. Assuming the filming night was for all the best stuff but can’t wait to see the final product. Definitely a big change from last year.

They didn’t even get a good build up for Land of Oz One day was a teaser post next everything was on the table. If they can’t draw that out and keep interest with 3 new rides coming why would they give us theme park nerds construction updates. I also feel they are pushing to have it open for the school holidays. Testing has ramped up. But I would say they won’t give a definite date considering all the date changes and issues it’s had. Show up mid December and I’d say you’d get a ride.

Day time testing of both leviathan and trident happing atm. Leviathan is testing with both trains and odd loads. Not much video of trident was only excited about the coaster 😉 IMG_9229.MOV IMG_9230.MOV

Was good to see some crane action happening today

ive had the chance to ride a few stand ups and I could take them or leave them, Agree with the other comments you need to have the restraints in the right spot and hold it there till it locks in position. Apart from the first moment of "hey I'm standing up" it gets old pretty quick, i'd way rather a flying, inverted or woodie to go on, If you haven't done one then its worth doing one if your there, but if your planning to go to SFMM you go for twisted colossus and X2 and if there's time do Riddlers Revenge which is my favourite stand up

can we blame them? numbers in the park are so low through no fault of their own. People who sit on their socials and demand longer opening times or more from our parks or want their passes extended at a time like this when people probably aren't even staying long enough to buy lunch, Where do the parks make their money for the day? I doubt there's many day passes or locals passes being bought right now, The other day (weekday) I was there and did Rivals, Superman, Scooby, batwing, in 30min, take in a few shows which I'm glad they are still doing and your done for the day, I'm happy for our parks to do what they can to keep them selves a float and get through this mess at the moment, I'm just hoping they don't go down to weekend only trade like wonderland did in the end, I doubt all the staff would remain and see it through and then come school holidays you'd have to find a ton of casuals to fill all the extra rolls

that is so tempting, but $1500 I don't know if I could, $500 id be sold the front yard would look great with Jabberjaw and Dino in the front yard

good old auto correct, still lots of track work going on but really minimum crew on each day just the one crane running and a hand full of guys, look like all the running track is in place now tho, Realistically the station could go up in a week there's not really much in the structure it's self, I'm assuming we won't see the trains on until there's somewhere to store them out of the weather.

construction really seems to have slowed, still people on site each day but mainly laying the track which looks to be mostly completed now, station work hasn't started yet, (11/07) only really few people working each day now compared with couple months ago, Interesting tho that the pad for triton seems to have been cleared out and ready to possibly start some work on that soon.

construction has started, next time someones out there take a close look/listen to the old arcade,

considering MW recently advertised for actors/performers I would say we will get a mixture of old and new, I do know of a couple "old" actors who have auditioned for roles. I too agree actors/performers not impersonators, you impersonate a person eg:Trump, Elvis you act out a character eg: Scooby, Austin Powers, superman, I would consider the person doing Marilyn Monroe doing an impersonation,

I think sometime on sites like this everyone seems to focus on rides first and foremost myself included, In saying that when I visit with the kids we barely do the rides we spend most of the time watching shows and meeting characters. Mw always seems to have something going on somewhere in the park at any given times and the kids love it over Sw or Dw. Another bigger wait to see better parade is awesome news, sure it’s not a new coaster but the addition of maybe 10 extra characters to see during the day, And let’s not forget they also announced a new slide tower and slides for wnw, everyone was stoked with www when they announced their fully 6, here we have a new show for mw and new slides for wnw I for one am excited, I hope they pull it off in a great way and I’m sure there will be surprises not shown just yet. And when this gets out of the media and they need a pick me up I’m sure we will hear about what’s going in to replace Arkham asylum

It’s kind of a mixture between both, it’s not as if vrtp go here’s the money just put on a show they would still have a say and over see it. Everything would be ok’d by vrtp and watching/visiting the parks enough you see a lot of vrtp management in the crowds from time to time. It’s not like vrtp don’t have a glue what’s going on in their own backyard. I think we can all agree we all like pa

Was In today for another look. that first turn after the drop is going to be intense can not wait, the layout looks fantastic

was at movie world today film crews filing stuff on Main Street this morning normally we can walk in at 9:30 entry was delayed and there was film crews, camera cranes and a bunch of actors/extras in the main street. No idea what for tho?

how does Rampage at adventure world compare to wipeout? I know its a different make but similar ride experience maybe? Perth is still on my to do list.. And Movieworld over Dreamworld these days is a no brainer if your an adult talking themparks, and soon dreamworld will be No3 on my list MW, SW, DW but I am very keen to give steel taipan spinning car a try I've only been on a spinning wild mouse.

https://apple.news/AUPeCHVQgTWy7ccFC0rBWLg just came across this article not sure if it’s Ben shared yet

that's makes my option of of star tour even more appealing for the single day out of towner

Ive missed out previous years on carnival and fright night tickets because I left it to late, its included yes but if it sells out they sell out its not a guarantee that you get a ticket. I tried this the first year I missed out and called up to say I have a One pass its included but its sold out how do I get my ticket, to be told once they are all gone that's it no more no money back.

I'll say yes it will go ahead but I expect less numbers allowed equating to higher ticket prices for entry, I hope they do fright nights and spooky nights but staffing wise I'm not sure they can pull that one off logistically, we may see different maze set out, maybe clear screens in use, lots of performers banging on clear screens and screaming at you, animatronics possibly but that means budget where there is none. We should hope that by October we don't have knee jerk reactions every time someone tests positive anywhere. there wise we may not but asking if think fright nights is on we might be asking will anyone reopen our theme parks again

love seeing the updates they seem to be going up so quick, guess that's what happens when you already have a massive concrete slab to start with

this is definitely left from creatures of the deep, all the others were scrapped this one was removed with care and will need a touch up but is intact, I would be pretty sure that this will feature in the new area with hopefully a makeover and revamp

seems to me if your from out of town or after just the one day visit then the behind scenes star tours at MW is probably best bang for ya buck $299, that includes park entry plus behind the scenes plus vip seating and fast track on selected rides what rides it does not say but considering fast track is $199 and then you need to buy park entry to one day $79 total $278 for just fast pass. Not sure on DW for $99 I think with the line up they have at the moment I'd pass and just line up, and for the price at MW I'd pass and just line up too.

Does anyone else get the feeling that grand Gorge falls will have better theming then then the new Atlantis 🤷‍♂️ I think at least Jamberoo will have the waterfall aspect... As for expansion I’d love to see more rides there and on a hot summers day you can barely move there but the location in general is very seasonal, locals love it but it’s filled with tourist I imagine it would have to stay seasonal, Kiama is dead when it’s winter unless you love your surf There’s not much else to do there besides Jamberoo its basically just sight seeing, beaches and valleys,

Unfortunately this is the way the world is going, everyone blames the insurance companies but the the problem is also these idiots who try something they shouldn’t or fall over and scrape their knee and expect a big pay out. No common sense anymore and no ownership over ones actions. I know this all to well as my wife and I run events and insurance is the killer more often then not and all because someone wants $100,000 for a paper cut
