IF you could?

[LunaParkFanatic]

Hello, If you could would you stop the idea for Shrek 4D going ahead?... I sure know i would, Like somebody has already said here on the forums.. that with another movie companys attraction in the park it will turn the park into a "Movie Park" not a Warner Bros. Movie World. If i could i'd love to see maybe a Harry Potter 4D or even a Matrix 4D!

[Adam]

I wouldn't stop it at all, I'm with Shrek all the way. Mike Myers is an awesome actor who has done heaps for Warner Bros. in the past (e.g. Austin Powers) and his role in Shrek 4D, I have been told, is fantastic. I still can't believe people are getting so caught up in who owns what.

[D.C.]

Agreed. Have you people actually experienced Shrek 4D that are complaining about it? But lets say they got another movie in addition to Shrek 4D I think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would make an interesting 4D movie.

[bluman]

I think the Shrek 4D attraction will be great for Movie World. The Powers to be don't seem to have an issue with its inclusion, so why should we. It should be all about the experience for the patron. Universal have used the studio facilities in the back lot for a number of movies. Do people really want to go back to the old studio system where you could only work or present for one studio??? I don't think so, there would be nothing to gain.

And why would that be such a bad thing. WB doesnt really make enough movies that would really be suitable for a ride, and even for the ones that are suitable they dont use the franchise for something good enough, so why not boost their lineup. Since when were companies totally mutually exclusive? There is such thing as a buisness deal between companines. Who else would make a shrek 3D attraction here anyway? Dreamworld? Dont make me laugh.

Don't get me wrong i liked the Shrek 4d @Universal, but Warners have rights to Terminator franchise they could have used instead for this 4d attraction!! (It would pull more of a crowd than Shrek if done properly)

[D.C.]

Terminator is at Universal as well. Plus if you're talking about the Terminator at Universal that sort of... sucks.

[taronga]

I know it's @ Universal but it doesn't have to be the exact same attraction!

[D.C.]

That's true. Although they're replacing a family friendly attraction with another family friendly attraction. (That's what it looks like to me anyway...) Shrek would have more appeal to more people IMO then Terminator.

Yes i must agree with you there. I love the Terminator movies more than Shrek!

[Richard]

Terminator up against Shrek, you'd really choose Terminator? With Terminator up against Wiggles World, which would you choose if you had young children? Shrek's unique characteristic is it's totally effective across all age groups. There really is no group that it singles out or excludes. It's marketing heaven.

[joz]

Why would you want to stop Shrek? I really have a hard time understanding people. Who cares what studio it is? I don't, nor will the guests. Watch the attendance spike and tell me I'm wrong.

LunaParkFanatic - here is what I don't understand. You are a person who thinks Luna Park in Sydney is amazing and can do no wrong. This is despite the fact that Luna Park's main focus is functions and events and the only rides it has are a limited number of old portable models randomly placed around the asphalt. On the other hand we have a world class theme park (Movie World) which is just about to invest in another brilliant multi-million dollar attraction and it isn't good enough?Where is the sense in that? I think I am getting deja vu here

[taronga]

He must live in Sydney like me, and was a fan long before the functions and cafes. (we have to support what little we have in the way of parks)

The reason i love Lunapark Sydney is because i've only been to Movie World once, in 2001 and i was there for 3hrs. I do know that Lunapark Sydney is not the best themepark and i agree with that, but iam sure when i move up to QLD next year Movie World will be my new favorite park!

[lisalila]

You cant really compare MW 01 to MW 05 because alot has changed since than. I think having Shrek is an awesome idea, I love Shrek and would gladly choose that over Wiggles World any day and I dont mind watching the Wiggles but at least with Shrek you know you are going to have some fun and laughs.

I totally agree with you joz.Who cares who makes it as long as it's entertaining that's what counts.I also love Shrek and i can't wait to see it next month.

ok so shrek is replacing marvin the martian in 4d. i never got to see that show. was it bad? lets face it, shrek will attract more money than marvin the martian. if it didn't make them more money they wouldn't do it. there are a whole bunch of movie franchises that aren't ever going to see the light of day here in a theme park of their own studio. the only way we're going to see them is in wb movie world. when people are sick of shrek its not hard to change to another 4d movie. charlie and the chocolate factory would make a great 4d movie... but it would also be awesome as a ride

[taronga]

I don't see charlie & the chocolate factory being any good for a 4d - but i know it is being turned into a ride @ a themepark in England. I also found a good looking Terminator attraction @ Movie Studios park in Italy. Plus i thought if they want to replace the Police Academy show, they could do something like Dukes of Hazard.

[Adam]

It was average. It was supposedly the first computer-animated 3D movie and it certainly showed its age. Shrek will be heaps better!

[scott]

Yeah Marvin wasn't the best, if Planet S.O.S at Seaworld is anything to go by then Shrek will be much better.

[bluman]

I don't think MV should replace The Police Academy Show with the Dukes of Hazard. The the PA Show has been there for many years, it is still quite popular and still gets the laughs.

[taronga]

I know of a new Police Academy movie in development... but this show has gotta go, its had a good run time for something else to keep things fresh.
