This might sound "nooby" - but what is WVTP? :S I'm sure I know what your talking about in expanded form... *dunce* Oh yeah... this looks awesome!! I will def. be going on this... if I have the guts. @Swanny - I think 2 or 3 weeks before the ride opens you'll start seeing some adds, but probably not before. It is x-mas season after all, and while I'm not a hot-shot marketing guru, I'm sort of thinking advertising Batwing (and WWW?) now won't be as effective considering people are looking at spending their money on Christmas prezzies and such. Hard to make sense of, but AFTER christmas you'll probably get a flock of ads. Probably... I'm probably way off.

WVTP= WARNER VILLAGE THEME PARKS well i think, if I am wrong please correct me guys On the subject of abreviations... what is IMO? I cant wait until the tower starts raising. Do they have to put the gondola on the bottom tower before erecting the rest of the towers pieces?

I understand IMO is for "In My Opinion".

Thanks champ.

That's one thing that give me the irriates. I have a MW pass but the only letter i get is to renew my pass. I pees me off when QLD residents only get the special offers. What about the people who live else where?

Maybe Warner's arne't advertising the Batwing ride properly until they can be sure it will be ready to open come christmas time. There would be nothing worse than a delayed opening when all the advertising $$ have been spent on marketing the ride. Any photos of construction?

Guh! Why didn't I think of that. Also why WWW isn't advertising too (or at least that should be the reason). And yep, try ozcoaster.net

One reason to start advertising before the ride opens is to give the public another reason to go there. And to show the public they're just not doing anything.

Advertising an unopened ride too early may actually decrease attendance in the build up to the ride opening. I think it's a much better strategy to advertise a newly opened attraction, something which the general public can act on immediately (by visiting the park and riding it) instead of just marking a calendar and avoiding the park until then.

Yeah I can't wait for Batwing - should be awesome.

Does anyone have any RECENT photos of the batwing and does anyone know if the ride will be complete by the Christmas Holidays?

I'm told by a mate that works at the Park that the Tower is finally going up and the next segment is now in place. Anyone been past to confirm?

I went past movie world yesterday and nothing has changed

Was there today and the tower is almost finished. There are two pieces of tower left in the carpark and the structure currently is roughly the same height as Superman's tophat. It definately makes a good impact on the Movie World skyline and with the other two parts added this thing will dwarf Superman. Can't wait.

well I guess my friend was right - thanks for the update. WHilt Batride is down for an extended period, expect some pretty big changes to the landscape of the whole area.. CAN'T WAIT! Looking forward to the next update

omg finally. this is gonna be awesome. i may drive past this weekend and take a snap outside my car window. also when talking about advertising, does anyone remember the show "yasmin's getting married?" probably not because it lasted 2 nights. this was blamed to be because of the huge build up to the show - 3 months in advertising. this could be deemed as detrimental for WWW or Batwing's advertising.

Edited November 23, 200619 yr by myk

Its not really the same. The reason Yasmins getting married got axed was because it was a crap show that nobody was interested in. And a show is expendable, it can be disposed of at any time. And often when a show like this goes, its gone for good. Compare this with a thrill ride or an new water park, we have had virtually no real "flop" attractions. I doubt a ride can be drastically overhyped to the extent people dont like it. Also they arent going to just close down a whole new ride or a water park in the same way 10 axed Yasmin. They would merely change their marketing approach if the park didnt get the needed visitors.

Is it still called Batwing Spaceshot, or have they just reduced it to Batwing? I've seen a few logos with only Batwing on them.

Here is a small update with some pics I got as I drove past Moveiworld of Batwing. You can see it very clearly now, and I think they still have to add 2 or 3 more pieces. Its Deff a Eye catcher from the Highway.

Omg thanks! Wholly crap thats high! lol! Is that it? It looks about 50-60 m.

Edited November 25, 200619 yr by myk

Ur a bloody Legend mate!! thanks for the pics and keeping everyone updated!! WOW! It sure adds to the Park's skyline. LW looks kinda small in the background and standing next to Superman in all it's glory it's like Big, Bigger, BIGGEST!

Thanks for pics, man!

Hey Myk, Rabid said the Tower was at 52 metres Thursday night and last night it was topped off so I guess it depends on when the pic was taken? Mattcrombie also said he thought two or three pieces still needed to be added in his post. 60 metres would make it pretty much twice the height of LW and 20 metres higher than Superman, which judging by the photos looks pretty much to be the case. They still need to go back and finish off the top though and dress it up a little as I'm sure they will.

Was Taken today

amazing pics, thanks buddy, cant wait to ride it
