There's always going to be things that happen after a ride is officially opened. Check out TT2...

The other thing to bear in mind is that we rarely have ride grand openings in cold and flu season either. Chances are they're working on opening crew and haven't had a chance to upskill other operators yet. One critical person gets sick and the whole thing can fall over.

What they have learned from Levi is that grand opening in a less-peak period means the impacts are not felt as hard, and they've got plenty of time to iron out the kinks before the next school holiday period starts.

People need to calm the farm.  The ride is running today.

I agree, I’m talking solely about the website (having ‘Now Open’ & ‘Closed’ on the same page, for the same ride, at the same time).

Flash merch

[REGIE]

Great for lovers of flash himself. Nothing of the physical ride. A halfpipe design of sorts would be cool on a shirt

[Cactus_Matt]

If they want some good 'flash' apparel, maybe they could sell a long trenchcoat.

All previously available/released for the film. Nothing for the new ride.

Mambo released this shirt quite a few years back and honestly it’s perfect for the ride considering its history.

Do people honestly expect ride specific merch for a non-flagship ride?

DC Rivals needs some for sure, and I expect Superman Escape and scooby also. Potentially even Green Lantern since it has that 'steepest drop' bit, but not Flash.

I think the extended flash merch is more than enough (and looks cool. My sons favourite hat is the red flash one)

Riding The Flash is not a ride you brag about.

Yes! Doesn’t have to be for every kids rides, but I’d expect merch for Rivals, Superman Escape, The Flash, Green Lantern, Justice League 3D, Batwing, SDSC, Wild West Falls, Road Runner and maybe even Marvin the Martian since that’s there newest kids ride. Even Roxy Theatre and Hollywood Stunt Driver could have something.

How much of that merch do you own?

Very little, but Movie World also has very little merch for their rides (even the park itself). I’d just like to see more park/attraction based merch in general instead of just having IPs on it.

I agree I always wanted to buy the Green lantern shirts the ride ops use to wear if they ever did sell them but genric ip merch can be good but usally its boring same old same old.

I think MW sell what sells.

Yes. They produced merch specifically for doomsday. dreamworld produced merch for the claw. why not?

My son is a huge fan of The Flash. He owns practically everything in the picture. He's been so excited for this ride - even though he isn't tall enough for it yet - but was content thinking that there'd be some new stuff in the shop to add to his collection. 

I'm kinda glad we decided not to renew our passes now so we have a good reason not to visit the park for a while.

Flash merch would sell long term due to Sheldon Cooper IMO.
