I received a My Fun update tonight regarding the return of the VIP pass for 2011/12 fin year and the only thing that was hinted at was that this was going to be a Big year for the Parks.. I hope this isn't just all hype because all indications are this may very well be the case.. Plans for the Tune ride building aside, if a coaster is indeed going in to the front of MW, my money is a Zacspin. Like others have said, it covers a small footprint, is visually striking, within price range and completely unique to what we currently have in OZ.

I have picked up on the few hints from Wyncenuros and Joz and have to ask what proof they have of this style of coaster? If you guys are right I really look forward to this addition to the park but wondering if another Batman themed ride is agood idea. When does it become to much, especially when you already have 2 and 1 of them doesn't even run anywhere near full capacity?

A friend of mine does part time work with one of the construction people working on this... Not sure if this is what I have heard about as I know the plans were for the other side of the carpark but main roads were kicking up a stink... If it is though and they have moved it to keep the peace, looks like MW and DW are heading in a very similar direction with their additions this year...

^^ WHY DOES THERE HAVE TO BE PROOF? I said this before, this is a speculation thread of enthusiasts. I don't know if people are just completely missing the point here but members are perfectly entitled to post as to what they may THINK is or should be happening. There needs to be no proof.

Some photos from Outsiders: There's more photos, but those are the ones that I think are worthy of being seen. Obviously construction is moving ahead, and demolition of the Bat shop has begun.

[rappa]

Ummm those containers behind Lethal have been there for years and are nothing to do with the new construction. Gonna let those two stay, but they are on the verge of violating a community guideline IMO

[Bmull19]

Yer; Randy mentioned that yesterday. o.O I didn't take the photos by the way, just so you know. There were also red containers near the staff car park area? Have they also been there for a while?

[S.W24]

What DJrappa is getting at is the fact they are from a outsider site, that is in no relation to Parkz.

Marking pegs seem to be laying out the current depth and location of both the high voltage lines coming into the park, and the low voltage (240v) lines perhaps going to the car park or signage lighting control. I will get some of the work crew I am currently supervising to have a look in the next couple of days as they are working in that area. I will let you know as soon as I can if i hear anything at all. Regardless it is good to see all the parks with construction taking place again, time to renew the passes I think.

[rappa]

Those pegs are definately marking the HV and LV lines in the area, a closup was posted earlier which showed labels on them. I would dare say the LV line in that area runs to those lights that illuminate the front wall of the park.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I was at the park last weekend and had a look at the pegs. The HV line sort of draws a relatively straight line from the south end vehicle entry gate (to the studios?) slicing across the front gates diagonally and angling toward the helipad. (obviously they don't need HV FOR the helipad, but it's headed in that direction.)

[thunder001]

Thanks for that Alex. In that case it would seem that they are indeed heading to the transformer station on the northern side of the park. I have spoken to alot of co-workers within the construction area around the parks today to see if i can get any more info as to the parks new attraction, but without luck. One or two seemed to know something about it but were quite tight lipped about it. On another unrelated topic, the electrical company I work within has been asked if we would be intrested in providing a price for any works in the carpark of one of the parks, but we have yet to see any paperwork come into the office at this stage. If anything comes in and I am able to let you know I will. I might try to get down to the parks on Sunday to see if i can help with the reports..

[rappa]

Just wanted to point out to the folks not in the construction loop that the pegs being pointed out are just to show cables that already exist, so people don't dig through them. Theyre not indicative of what may be going on out there.

It's a new entry point for batman adventure. they are removing the batcave preshow and library theming. The library preshow wilbe.shown.in.the queue line. Guests will then board one of two modules. The main.queue, library, bat cave and 3/4 of exsisting module space will be leveled to clear room for new.attraction. I spoke to a guy selling Churros and this is what he told me is happening. Also, he said mw will be.toning down Halloween this year. No mazes, no scares. Trick or treating for kids aka mickey's not so scary.Halloween.at disneyworld.

[rappa]

Wow sounds crap! Hate how our parks are constantly dissapointing us. But thank you for taking the time to get that inside scoop for us!

[T-bone]

It's a shame we don't have a Dippin' Dots in the parks, the Dippin Dots guy at Santa Cruz Boardwalk told me that 2015 is when Disney hits Australia.

[rappa]

Cool, I'll start getting my resume in order. Based on the Churro guys info sounds like time to get out anyhow

[ads086]

I went down to Movieworld yesterday and took a few pictures! The view from just inside the gate: Standing near the Bat Mobile: Construction around a sign post: What's behind the fences? You know something is happening when you see this: What was the entrance on the Adventure Ride side: Looks like they're taking out the whole fence: Bit of a haircut? I think we know this is somehow involved in the works: The front entry to the shop:

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Good spot with the construction signage. Obviously the very good job they did at Sea World gave Stokes Wheeler the opportunity to get involved at movieworld as well...Stokes Wheeler - Current projects They're certainly not a ride construction company - they build buildings, halls and that sort of thing. Perhaps they're doing the show buildings? who knows....

[aussienetman]

Hehe.. I wonder if stokes wheeler had a spike in web traffic following the posting of that pic. Show building or simply a bat shop rebuild? Qiestion. As someone who avoids peak times like the plague, does that Batman ride queue still fill up ?

never ever believe anything you hear from someone selling churros... lets just say Halloween will be bigger then ever before! with more of the things they said there would be none of!

[rappa]

The Churros thing was of course a joke...

[Tjay]

^ that explains it! it seems obvious now
