  1. When one event ends, another one is just around the corner. A new sign for this years event has been now put up, im guessing the trees construction will be starting any day now. An insta story teasing this year’s parade has now been posted here. They are saying this years event will host the parks biggest parade ever. The website hasn’t been updated yet but when you look at the One Pass Inclusions, it appears the tickets will be priced at $79, as far as im aware this is a very large jump from previous ticket prices.
  2. Movie World has posted some of the maintenance for the 2023 season on their website: Superman Escape - Feb 3-March 31 Doomsday Destroyer - Feb 6-March 31 Batwing Spaceshot - Feb 6-March 31 Junior Driving School - March 20-March 28
  3. Movie World just shared a video on their socials that an iconic character is returning to the park soon. And at the end of the video, there is this clip (basically confirming Beetlejuice is returning)
  4. Movie World have just shared a video teasing the Mrs Claus' Christmas Feast at this year’s White Christmas and in the video I saw these These could just be new Looney Tunes figures they’ve had made, but to me they greatly resembled the former animatronics/figures that they had on the Looney Tunes River Ride. Can anyone confirm or agree that these could be those said figures from the classic ride?
  5. @Brad2912 would you mind sharing what this article says please: https://bit.ly/3ugHP0E
  6. Hooray for Hollywood returns for the Summer holidays this year and as already mentioned, Bettlejuice will be added to the characters in park. So far, everything else seems to be similar to last years event
  7. Village seem to have quietly dropped a cheaper locals One Pass recently. The One Pass Lite - priced at $179 - is $40 cheaper than the normal Locals One Pass (and $120 cheaper than the full priced One Pass). The lite version of the pass has: No White Christmas No Carnivale No Spooky Nights BLACKOUT DATES - From Boxing day to January 15th. For me, we rarely do the night events, even though they've been included in our passes for some time. We will go if friends are going, but mainly because we've got them for free. The current 'value' of the night events shown on the locals passes (ie $89 for WC, $69 for Carnivale and Spooky Nights) is not a price i'd pay separately. But considering we rarely use the night passes when we do have them this is an easy way for us to save over $100 on the next renewal (assuming we renew). We tend to avoid the Christmas holiday period entirely. The parks are stupid at that time of year so the blackout dates don't impact us at all. Overall, its a bit of a coin flip for us. If we went to just one night event it would pay off to buy the higher priced pass. If there were a bigger price gap - even marginally more, it might tip the scales for me - but at the very least its nice that they're finally offering locals a product that just gets them into the park regularly without bundling it with night events and resort stays. ETA: as long as they stick by the blackout dates this time. Back in the VIP days, they offered VIP with blackout, and VIP gold without blackout, and the first day of the blackout dates they had a bunch of families try to enter with VIP passes and caused a stink when they weren't allowed in - so the company folded and quietly deleted the blackout dates. Here's hoping the new investment firm have more of a spine.
  8. Considering it is two weeks until the maze announcements for Fright Nights (going by previous years) I thought it would be good to start up a thread. On the Mazes tab on the Fright Nights website most mazes have been removed except Death Row and Conjuring maze, which i’m guessing that they will be back for 2023 (considering they were new for last year, and mazes tend to be reused across 2 or so years) So I wonder what other mazes will come this year? I am kinda hoping for a Saw X maze to tie in with the movie (coming out Sep 21 2023) Maybe a Nun maze would be good but I’m not sure about the other one.
  9. I’m heading to Movie World in a few days for the first time in a few years and I want to know what rides you can place your belongings in the ride vehicle or on the ride platform and if any rides require lockers other than Superman Escape.
  10. First post here, I've been trying to get this enquiry out there to ask so I've decided on a post instead. I am going to Fright Nights with my partner for the first time since 2014 and I want to know if the panic rooms (expensively priced as they are) are worth it. If anyone here has done them, what were your experiences with them and are the rooms elaborate? Are there any scare actors? Which ones would you recommend if you do find them to be good? I'm curious of the experiences on offer but not too sure if I want to dive in without at least having some knowledge of what's involved.
  11. Movie World have teased an all new event coming these school holidays called ‘Music on Main’. They’re teasing there will be a multi-award winning music act too
  12. Vortex should be moved to Movie World to replace Doomsday. Vortex's location at Sea World should be used instead for a Ferris wheel for scenic views of the dolphin pools, ski lake, as well as providing a visual weenie for guests entering the park. To further this, SW has no need of 140cm filler, and Trident even if worked would not provide enough capacity for the family crowd. A thrill ride next to dolphin pools, while not cruel, is not a good 'look' Doomsday is MW's biscuit, and needs to go. Vortex could actually add needed capacity that is unused at SW. Comment, and tell me I'm wrong. I dare you.
  13. I stumbled across this gem uploaded by “A&A Home Movies” on YouTube. It’s an incredibly in depth look (over an hour long) at classic Movie World from 1992, containing full recordings of numerous defunct attractions and shows in decent quality. (For some reason, YouTube won’t let me embed it, so here’s a link): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4S1WKrhi8E Also found this video from “Roger Garrod” showing the park under construction in early 1991!
  14. The app has just been updated to state H&V is returning in the upcoming school holidays, website has yet to be updated. Glad to see the parade moved to 5pm and later trade for the park in general, through the grapevine have heard the plan is to return the event to the opening standard.
  15. Just got an email about changes to memberships. price is DOUBLING per month and fright nights access has been removed what the actual f**k
  16. Stumbled upon this on my tiktok fyp https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8EUCQHN/
  17. Yes, I know Justice League was only introduced 10 years ago and had a refurb not long ago. However, I am wondering what it could be replaced with, seeing as it is very unpopular. I reckon after Scooby/WoO we will see it removed TBH. What I would like - a river ride based on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It fits into the "classic movies" thing that MW is going for with WoO, also is one of Warner's most popular franchises.
  18. Thought I would start this up for fun. Each Saturday I list two rides from two different parks, and people vote what is best. Voting will close on Thursdays, and on Fridays the results are revealed. One ride is saved and one is turned into paperclips. For example, it could be Superman Escape v Steel Taipan one week. If ST wins it would be added to the list while Superman would be removed. Clones will be counted as one choice, not two. Also you do not need to have ridden the coaster to vote, but it would be good if you have. Let's start off with... TNT (Gumbuya World) vs. Kenny's Forest Flier (Dreamworld) In my opinion I would pick TNT. It is actually really fun and intense for a family coaster and I am glad Movie World is getting a clone. Also it goes fast the whole length of the ride while KFF seems to go slow in the second half. Remember to put results in by Thursday.
  19. It is time to vote for a droptower to be in the all-star park. I have picked 5 of the best which will face off in the poll. Please note: Kiddy droptowers (the ones at Funfields, Aussie World, Little Leaper at Adventure World etc.) are not included. Vote by Thursday.
  20. Time to go back to basics: We will be voting either Green Lantern or Project Zero this time. Remember to put your vote in by Friday.
  21. Hello everyone! I am planning to go to the Gold Coast in 2023. I come from Bendigo, Victoria so cannot go often. This is my third time going to the GC parks, me going before in March 2015 and August 2022. However, I am planning to go again in 2023. The question is, when? I don't want to go before June (dont want to risk SE/DD/BS/DCR/WWF being closed) and will be willing to drop Scooby as it is closed. I also cannot go during September because I am going to Thailand. I am also going with another person who doesn't want to go during November and December due to the heat. So it leaves July, August and October. I am hoping to go in the latter as most rides are open as well as Fright Nights. Could you give me some suggestions? Thanks.
  22. Time to do something different: We will be comparing Storm Coaster to the log flumes as I feel like Storm cannot be compared with anything else. Put your votes in by Tuesday.
  23. Time to pick the fourth coaster in the list. This time there will be 3 options due to their being over 2 wild mouse coasters in Australia. Please note: this does not count the Crazy Spinning Coaster in carnivals, only permanent versions. Remember to put votes in by Wednesday.
  24. I know we once had a topic for this, but I can't seem to find it. Was just surfing the net and found a heap of older pics of Movieworld, not sure if they've been posted on here before, but see for yourself. There is one of Marvin Rocket Ride, a few of Looney Tunes Village, couple of Main Street and the star parade etc. This is the site where I found some of these pics: http://www.margarethouse.com.au/family/Holiday03/0626lsl.html Some are from 2003, not sure if they are all from 2003.
  25. This time we will be doing two polls. Also due to the WoO Boomerang not being open, you can compare it to POVs of Tweestyrd as well as the theming on the concept art. Vote by Saturday.
