The One Pass branding is no more, one day tickets for MW/SW/WNW are now date specific and go as high as $139 for peak dates.

One Pass/Locals One Pass > Premium Annual Pass

One Pass Lite/Annual Adventure Pass > Saver Annual Pass

Prices have stayed the same as the previous Locals pricing but now are available to everyone.

5-14 day holiday tickets remain the same but losing the previous Escape/Super/Mega Pass naming.

Following conditions apply for the new dated single day tickets

”Guests may change their visit date up to five (5) times within the same pricing tier for free, subject to availability. Date changes can be made via the “Change Date” link in the email receipt, via the online account portal, or by contacting our call centre at 13 33 86. Changes must be made before 9:00 AM on the date of your visit. If the new date falls into a higher-priced tier, additional charges will apply”.

There’s a new “one day all parks” ticket at $149 that doesn’t require date selection.

Thoughts are these changes make sense, the one day pricing increase and removal of the locals requirement is clearly designed to push people even further towards holiday/annual ticketing and discourage visiting Coomera.

At least the tiered day ticket pricing goes some ways towards compensating folk who visit in the off season and find half the park is closed.

Interestingly, buying a ticket same day is $10 more than buying it in advance as today's price is $109 and the rest of the month is only $99.

From December 1 the $109 becomes the cheapest rate, jumping to $119 from the 13th of December (charging more once school breaks seems to indicate that the park would be busier once kids are out of school, eh @New display name?)

The following week it jumps again to $129 on the 20th of December, and then $139 from Boxing day. It stays at $139 through most of January, dropping to $129 for the final week of holidays (19th to Australia day) and then back to $119 from the day school goes back.

Interestingly - the price doesn't go back to $99 - it stays at $109 from that point on until the end of published pricing on March 31st. We will have to wait an see what they do with Easter pricing when that gets released.

 

Honestly the tiered pricing might have helped alleviate the crowd pressures over the peak seasons (especially if they blocked out some AP tiers during the busiest times) making it worth the while for those who stump up the extra cash, but given the price of a 5 day multipark pass is only $169 - nobody is buying the day pass and this entire exercise is a complete waste of time.

Interestingly MW and SW are from $99, but WnW is from $109. But MW and SW pricing goes up to $139, while WnW is up to $124.

WnW always used to have lowest pricing, but now they’ve made it the most expensive (during off peak periods). This is probably to compensate for the park not getting the crowds it needs during Winter.

ETA: February pricing since it is $10 lower than January

Sorry, forum isn't letting me quote properly.

 

Potentially this is a 'last minute' surcharge as they have already planned for staffing and getting more in on same day is harder than getting more staff for next day.

Yep no doubt - same reason the 'gate' price is always $10 more than buying online.

I definitely have some thoughts about running a nine news story last night advertising your new attractions and that you can purchase a ticket for 99 dollars when that price isnt available once those things are actually open it seems

I really doubt they are going to lower the price for off peak seasons. I’d guarantee they’ll keep it at $109 even when half the park is closed.
 

This is just an exercise to grab more money off the people travelling from down south and nothing else

I've literally just posted screenshots showing that the price is lower outside of expected peaks...?

I don’t see it that way. Hasn’t Movie world been charging $109 for day tickets for ages (at least that’s how I remember it on my last visit 2 years ago)? have no idea when the $99 ticket came in that’s news to me.

Correct me if I’m wrong but movie world was charging $109 (ie full price because it was set at that all year) for day tickets when half the park was closed in the middle of the year

Jury’s still out on when it gets to may/june and at least a third of the park is shut. Happy to eat my own words on that but if village was happy to charge full price for that then, I don’t see it being any different now

Edited November 20, 2025Nov 20 by Baconjack

So day ticket pricing has fluctuated between $119-$99 over the past year with the higher prices being during holidays.

This has always been a 12m ticket validity with purchase however not restricted to specific dates.

I don’t think $99 is honestly value for money when half or more rides are shut/the experience offered generally outside of school holidays. I don’t see them doing it but it should be even cheaper if that’s what’s on offer.

Yeah look - you're not wrong. They technically haven't discounted tickets during off peak because the regular day price hasn't gone down. 

Typically though, this time of year is when we start getting "beat the price rise" style advertisements. So they could have put all day prices up to $139 as part of their annual review of pricing, but instead they opted to keep cheaper pricing in off peak. 

So it sort of is, sort of isn't. 

$10 difference is better than what LPS were pushing a few years back (and possibly still are) where it was like $45 a week or 2 out, then went up to 70 or 80 the day of.

I don't mind that sort of scale for LPS which can be ghost towns on certain days. Providing a large incentive for people to book early helps them plan their rosters well enough in advance for staff to cover the necessary loads, while rostering less staff if sales are low for a particular day and rotating attractions rather than opening all attractions all day. 

Unfortunately the side effect is someone who does attend on the spur of the moment means they pay more for a worse product, but LPS has a small workforce and they need to ensure they balance this where they need it the most.

Village on the other hand has no excuse to be running alternating attraction schedules or understaffing attractions given their attendances tend to be a lot higher and should cover the bare minimum. Unfortunately that's all they ever seem to deliver.

VRTP have introduced a discount on the Premium Pass of $30 per pass when you buy 4 or more.

Village Roadshow Premium Annual Pass Family Bundle Offer: Save $120 or more when you buy 4+ Passes

Buy four or more Village Roadshow Premium Annual Passes in a single transaction and save at least $120 or more per purchase ($30 off each additional Pass for 5 plus). Discount applies automatically at checkout. Offer available from 10 February 2026 and is not available in conjunction with any other promotions or discounts. Premium Annual Pass is valid for 12 months and is subject to the same entitlements, terms and conditions as noted above for the Village Roadshow Premium Annual Pass.

Yep I got the same email - and the in park discounts and other perks they were offering still apply.

Something is clearly very wrong with their pass sales and they're trying whatever they can to improve sales - first by adding the limited time discounts, then extending them, and now discounting bulk purchases. Finally they've realised they can't keep jacking up the price without increasing their offering.

MW giving away the gate is why you’ll probably never see another show on the same level as Police Academy, or another proper preshow at MW. That was the kind of stuff that made MW great.

Spy Chase has a bigger cast, more vehicles and special effects than Police Academy. If it's not as good as Police Academy, that's a creative problem not a budgetary one.

Not quite! Spy Chase has 8 cast members, while Police Academy had 10. Plus, PA featured 2 police vehicles, a hot rod, a golf buggy, another golf buggy stuck in a police vehicle, a police motorbike with a drivable sidecar, a trailbike and a smaller motorbike.

As for special effects- not even close

Edited February 12Feb 12 by New display name

Those are bigger effects, not more numerous. So it is close.

The point still remains that the quality of the show is not because of the ticket price. The park got rid of pre-shows and police academy long before the price dropped.

They lowered the quality of experience at MW and SW and then had to lower the ticket price to match. This includes operations, food quality, shows, pre-shows, theming (look at GL and Batwing, it barely exists).

You've consistently made the point that parks are 'giving away the gate', except that is what people are willing to pay for the experience on offer and even at these prices, they're still having to offer discounts and incentives because the parks don't offer enough value for that price.

Currently I'm willing to pay exactly $0 for a VRTP experience. I let my pass expire and didn't bother to renew it because I got tired of rude staff, tired looking parks, constant ride closures, overpriced and poor quality food, and extremely long lines because of slow operations (FOTWW had 7-11 minute turnarounds from a train arriving at the station to departing the station).

At MW, a full day experience required 4-5 visits to the park just to do everything, not because there is so much to do but because you had to play the lottery as to whether or not things were actually going to be open and not close part way through the day. When people complained, the park blamed them for 'not checking the website'.

The de-valuing of the experience at VRTP parks started long before BGH and long before the price drops. MW could easily bring back a show at the level of Police Academy. The current show has similar elements already, it's just a weaker script that relies a lot more on vehicles than stunts.

I think the main reason the quality started to drop was because Warner Bros exited the parks business and shifted to just licensing IP to operators instead. They were likely the ones pushing for story-based experiences linked closely to specific movies, and once it became a licensing business they just didn't care what parks did as long as they paid. That's when VRTP started building rides (without shows) based on comic book versions of characters, rather than movies.

That's when it stopped being 'Movie World', and that is when the concept of the park shifted to a Six Flags model rather than a movie-themed, story-driven park.

MW has been giving away the gate since 2008, when PA closed.

In 2008 when PA closed annularly pass just to MW cost $165 or $299 for the 3 parks.

In 2009 the first VIP pass was born and it cost $99 for 3 parks.

Maybe, but I’m this case bigger is better. I don’t think the effects for Spy Chase are anywhere near as good as the ones PA had. Even if Spy Chase wins on quantity, PA smashes it out of the park with the quality and volume.

@themagician Postcodes apart, if not entirely different countries when it comes to cost and quality. Spy Chase has a few flame barrels, some front-row sparklers, a vehicle that gently puffs a bit of smoke, and the finale gun that feels like it’s spraying mozzie repellent. PA the whole set was alive, shoot a bullet and if it misses it sets off a cameo of effects. Cars blowing up, bikes falling to pieces, buildings detonating, moving set pieces everywhere.

The fire sale continues. An email has just gone out from Village offering a 72 hour flash sale on Premium annual passes for just $149 - that's another $50 off the multi-buy sale they only dropped at the start of the week - taking the total discount to $80 per pass, still including the normal night events, still including the 'premium perks' until 30 June*, and now also including a free annual photo pass.

(*I put an asterisk because the way they're going, they're absolutely going to need to include these perks on an ongoing basis if they want to achieve a renewal conversion)
