I'm surprised no one here has tried to work out what it is from the shape of the slab. 

The slab is a wedge shape and i cant think of any rides that move in that kind of sweep.

Could it be just another mini drop ride, or a small ferris wheel with the support at the back like Bug at LPS?

Could it not just be a circle, but with a cut-out attached for the Op Booth? 

All the pics i've seen so far have implied some sort of circular attraction, so when I saw the slab shape, I just assumed plant room or op booth on the same slab outside the circle...

 

The path next to the ride area has been reopened for White Christmas.

Just announced! Marvin the Martian Cosmic Boom - a 10 metre Drop n Twist.

Looks similar to the drop tower at Luna Park Melbourne. It is better than Sylvester’s with capacity (8 instead of 6 a go) Thrills (higher than Sylvester’s) and better for taller people (adults can also ride it)

Hopefully without the static shocks to the ride operators lmao! That was a thing way back when haha. Good times. Wasn't what I was expecting but kinda makes sense with Pounce and Bounce gone.

The logo and video are very cute. Nicely done

Honestly, this is a great fit for the area IMHO. A solid upgrade from Pounce and Bounce and in a much better location too. With all these new additions and upgrades currently taking place, 2024 is shaping up to be a big year for Movie World (and GC parks in general)! 

The ten metre tower height definitely puts this on the upper cusp of a "children's" ride, no?

I would actually say this is a family ride like Road Runner Roller Coaster. Unlike Slyvester, the whole family can ride the new Martin ride. Also good for people who are too scared of Batwing Spaceshot.

I really like it! Loopy Lighthouse at LPS is a lot of fun for a family and this looks like an enhanced version of that. Should be a great addition to the kids area.

It's the same model as Bombora Bounce at Aussie World.

Was at Funfields yesterday day they had a drop n twist there as well. I rode it as when I was standing outside the ride they asked for a single rider so I hopped on straight and it was pretty fun! It was quite small tho I’m guessing the one at MW will be bigger?

The area for the Marvin ride has a pretty small footprint so I'm guessing it will be the same model

I assume he's talking about height.

 

Even the 10meter one looks short to me.

 

It's all a bit whatever to me, the extra 150-200 rides an hour will be welcome though.

No further progress as of yet 

Backdrop is starting to be installed (thanks to Jaggs Journey)

 

I do hope the back of that is made to look nice \ fit in to the area and isn't just blank board.

Even for a kiddie ride, I would have expected more progress if this is still opening in April.

My guess it is delayed and it will open up with whatever is inside Superman’s helix TBH.
