Surprised SE and Flash are operating tonight as they were not during last nights event.

Flash closed at 5, SE was down until 7:20 ish and Rivals probably had around 40 min of downtime at the start of the event.

That’s a real shame

All nights are now sold out with the exception on Monday 22nd Dec.

I'm heading in tonight, interested to see if any of Scooby, Supes or Flash are open, as none are listed as operating on the website

Unsurprisingly because village don’t going two shits about the customer experience, superman, scooby and flash closed for white xmas

We can only assume they’re closed due to guest feedback

Interested see how devalued the parade is shortly given 3 of the main floats are now parked up as photo ops so clearly not in the parade. Less floats = less drivers = less wages. Seems to be what it is all about

Not opening your highly anticipated, family favourite, high capacity Scooby ride for the only after hours family event they have is one of the most bone headed decisions I’ve seen from the Australian theme park landscape in a while.

I believe those floats have been retired because they are too large (or something along those lines) and they don’t align with new safety standards. Someone on here can provide the detailed/accurate reason, but its the same reason some of the floats in the daily parade are no longer used

Well they did the exact same for Wizard of Oz last year too, even after it had officially opened. Are they thinking that because it wasn’t available the first few nights, it’s unfair for those who attended because they aren’t getting the same offering? Because if they are thats a dumb excuse, just open Scooby and Superman!

Can’t be!, there’s a “guest experience specialist” now!

I mean to be fair I did post on the first page of this thread Guest Services stated Scooby was not going to be open during White Christmas so I don’t know why anyone on Parkz expected it to be open.

There is, and yes safety is a factor. The do still however use one still (Santa’s Sleigh).

Ridiculous your number 1 family attraction isnt open for your family event

safety is also a cop out for excluding floats

No one is saying you didn't and no one is saying they expect it open, just continually pointing out the absolutely massive own goal VRTP have scored for the last 2 white christmas' in a row

Well, maybe the guest experience specialist should have it changed?

Safety isn't a cop-out; the legitimate length of the parade now means that all elements of the parade can't be consumed inside the roundabout to avoid any double-passing. So, as such, it is unsafe for those older, wide birth floats to pass each other down the street.

Exactly this. These floats haven't been used in the parade since Joy to the World began, when all new larger (but easier to manoeuvre) floats were bought in.

Due to the size/length of the parade, they have to cross over at the end of Main Street, which is essentially impossible for the large towed floats. Operations also now allow guests to put their feet in the gutters, which never used to be a thing either, so there's added complexities on this side now too.

Can’t speak for the entirety of the parade route, but that is certainly not the case where we were at the roundabout area. Everyone was yelled at constantly to get their feet back from the gutters

White Christmas 2025 is officially sold out 🎄

Feet can be in the gutters, not sticking out past them. That is the case for the entire parade route.
