Towards the end of the recent ParkChat Live episode Bikash (the current COO of Village Roadshow Theme Parks) pretty much said there’s possibly more to come at Movie Word. 

Meanwhile, Wet N Wild continues to rot.

Bikash did also confirm a new slide will be coming to WnW

Man could that be more vague

Trying to remember the timeline of SW but wasn't it under Bikash watch SW ended up in the toilet bowl.

Looks like all WWW slides will be getting a repaint and ABC Kids World will be refurbished and expanded.

[Naazon]

All the slides will need if if they are building 6 new ones. WWW slides are all somewhat compact and visible across the park. 6 brand new ones will be jarring against the old faded ones.

Which are in the process of being repainted, which means they're not faded.

Are they also painting the insides of the slides since in the picture of the hydro coaster it didn’t seem so.

Will the credit whores be booking a cruise once BOLT ULTIMATE SPEED COASTER launchers next year?

 

 

[Gazza]

No because it's a powered coaster so it doesn't count.

Aren't all coasters powered at one point or another?    If Rivals wasn't powered to get up a hill it would be damn boring sitting in a station.

[Slick]

The very definition of a roller-coaster is that at some point it relies on gravity as an acting force, so coasters that are powered for the entire journey aren't counted by most enthusiasts.

"That one off my list".  "That one off my list".  "Nope no credit for that one either".  F-It my whoring days are over.

Tom and Jerry from September 21

This is probably the lamest thing Village Parks have done this year. Promoting 2 new Costume Characters as a Major Holiday draw? Not to mention Characters that are only well known by Children from generation X, Y at a pinch. Not exactly the Target audience here. 

[red dragin]

Modern Tom and Jerry shows are on TV at least once a week, depending on 9Go's schedule. 

[MickeyD]

Yeah, there has been the same for Looney Tunes in recent years too.

Promoting appearances of a couple of new Costume Characters as Major Drawcards is my gripe. MW have been adding new Costume Characters for years and without being central as Major events, unless coupled with a new Show, Parade or both. In this case neither.

[Brad2912]

Maybe because they are not Looney Tunes characters, so them joining the stable is a bigger deal? 

I dunno, I have no problem with it. 

MW has had recent large expenditure and SW is now the focus. 

VRTP’s results presentation due in the next week or 2 and maybe we’ll hear more 

[joz]

There isn't anything wrong with a Facebook post which says 'Tom & Jerry are at Movie World from the school holidays. Hell Facebook is exactly the correct level to pitch that at. The problem is that even in presentations to the share market they talk about it like it's a big deal when it's really a total nothing.

Did Ardent Leisure forget that they voted to change name three years ago?

Remember that one time with Scooby Doo........

I'm sorry to say that even though the train is back up and running, for some reason they're still attempting to do the Bawd Brothers show at Central Station. 

Absolutely pathetic!

[themagician]

Maybe because they realised that was a more popular location and got more of a crowd that way 

[Gold Coast Amusement Force]

I’m not sure if this will be persistent through the whole ABC Kids World but the area where the seating is has a fresh coat of paint. It also seemed that other insignificant spots towards the entrance near MDMC had also been painted. Please appreciate the provided photo below as I was asked by security why I was taking weird photos.. Than again, I guess it is odd.
