Village let the bad reviews and negative sentiment set in, not just with enthusiasts but with the general public.  One can only assume that visitor numbers are down and people aren't renewing passes, so they've started some crisis PR to try to save the park's reputation because they've finally realised that reputational damage = real financial damage.

I do wonder if it really did start to hit their pocket, they are even including a bonus 12M ride/candid photo pass currently for all One Pass Locals/Lite/Renewals from May 15 to June 30.

They haven’t included a Photo Pass with their passes since the VIP Magic Pass.

Sorry I am just confused in what you mean? By 12M? So you get an unlimited photo pass with the locals pass? Or you get a couple photos? Or is it like a random draw thing

Currently anybody who purchases a new locals pass or renews receives a 12 month Digital Fast Photo pass that sells separately for $80.

The photos and video are awesome. Not sure why anyone is so concerned about dates. Once again, a billion times better than DW's social efforts

Got this email tonight….

genuinely taking the piss referring to Levi, Trident and Kaboom as “all new”.

I guess it depends on how often people visit.

[themagician]

It might not be ‘all new’ because they’ve been open for 15 months now, but it’s their newest thing, so they’re going to keep marketing them as new until something newer opens. 

I’d argue that Trident has been closed more than it’s been open, so in terms of its operating lifetime, it would only be a couple months old and therefore new.

DW are also currently marketing they have 11 new attractions. They really only have 4 brand new attractions, but the other 7 are refurbished/rethemed, so they’re counting them to bump out the number for marketing.

[STRAWS]

Honest question I know its a bussiness and they want to make as much $ as possible but I think the amount of people MW let in at peak times is ridiclous.

If reputation really is important they should cap tickets sold online or have a booking system for 1 day tickets because during holidays is where most of the word of mouth comes from.

If they care about the reputation and it really does play a big part People are not going to reward the park with good reviews and returns if every ride has a 3 hour que and staff treat you like a peice of shit. Moive World for me need to get this right Long ques need to be expected but they need to be within in reason and their has to be more effort to make you enjoy your day. 

This applies to Dreamworld but because its bigger and doesent reach the same attendance Is the only reason why I have targeted MW on this ocasion. 

But I like how MW socials have been theres not fault in that and im very happy with their recent steps in the past week.

Update on the FotWW castle

& the entrance pathing from Superman’s plaza

KT’s barn has an unthemed roof now, too, but I only viewed that from DCR

That is a very narrow entrance pathway for an all new world-class world-first land

I reckon that concrete was more expensive than moving the churro carts in the lethal weapon alleyway

Might need traffic lights for opposing wheelchair traffic.  /s

I'm still holding onto hope, MW will reinstate the alleyway.

New promo posted on TikTok i’m assuming it’s also on Instagram & Facebook.

 

Notice SE flying around in a clip. 

[themagician]

The park has officially released some of the concept artworks we’ve seen before

 

They also confirmed in this video that you’ll enter a room and decide with coaster you want to head to. Then you follow a path (that’ll be themed to set up the story for the coaster you’ve chosen). When you exit the coasters that will take you to the main plaza where the Emerald Castle will be.

My favourite part of the video was seeing Superman testing in the background.

What a ridiculous layout. So basically they keep the side door from arkham that skips half the queue, you walk in, do the pre show, line up for the coasters, ride, then get spat out at emerald city? You'd figure you want guests walking through that big rainbow entrance into your new $50 million land with the fancy building and decorated paths as a good first impression, rather than being spat out in it after you queue for an hour and ride. People design better land layouts in planet coaster

You'd think they'd shut that side door but they might not even do that

Exactly. Which is why the main entrance to the land being by Superman is ridiculous. If they used the alley way you’d get to follow the full yellow brick road, get the wow factor and then head to the left and into the ride entrances 

[rappa]

Nowhere in that video does it show anyone using a side door to skip anything. 
 

Nobody is skipping the theming and being spat out in the land after.

@rappa Zooming in on site plan the red line is the entrance/yellow brick road and it looks like the blue (former AA entrance) is the entry to this room mentioned in the video. Unless it’s an emergency exit?

[Themepark Enthusist]

maybe i interpreted it differently but for me, it seems like to enter the queue for the rides you need to go to the emerald city and then walk into the castle where you can choose from in there? So you will need to be in the plaza for the land to get onto the rides then you exit back into the Emerald City where you can walk back into the castle (Queue lines) and reselect what ride you want

I believe this is correct

I wouldn’t assume the video was filmed that recently and that SE is testing yet.

Well, if that’s the case and I think it is, that would mean that this video is almost 2 months old.

It’s only been 3 weeks since the 6 week closure was announced so highly doubt that this is ‘recent’
