Movieworld to Close Mid Week

[rappa]

We were circulated a memo today informing us that the park would be moving to weekend only operation following the easter school holidays. The weekend only operation would continue (with the exception of school holiday periods) until the september, where the park would resume 7 day operation for the summer. This is a model Tim Fisher had in effect at Wonderland during his time there so it does not surprise me he is trialling it in a bid to cut costs and raise daily attendance at the park. As Sea World and Wet N Wild had more consistent year round attendance levels, they will not be changing from 7 day operation at this time. Very interesting move...

Oh my god - totally got me! I was thinking here comes the demise of Movie World! Don't do that to me!

I think it's a shame it's come to this, expect something on Myfun in the next few days. There's a big meeting for all the staff in the Roxy this afternoon, should be interesting.

Come on guys we know its April fools day and I don't think anyone would fall for this.

The bit that really gave it away...

As Sea World and Wet N Wild had more consistent year round attendance levels, they will not be changing from 7 day operation at this time.

Wet'n'Wild with consistent attendance... classic!

Something a bit more realistic might have worked. It's good to see a lot of news and events outlets coming up with interesting ideas for April 1.

The scheduling of certain rides in the park is bad enough, but for Movie World to pull this is absolutley DISGRACEFUL!!!
