How did we go from talking about 'Bermuda Triangle', 'Batman Adventure: The Ride 2' and 'Looney Tunes River Ride' to about what really is considered a 'theme park'?

Ok, back on topic. Has there been anymore action at the parks concerning these rides?

So is the Sydney easter show a theme Park because it has rides? Theme Park does not mean that at has rides. It just means a park that is themed.

Yes it is.

Why did we start arguing about what is considered a theme park?

We're petty.

Demolition has begun! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=324150224293635&set=a.223449734363685.53625.221490447892947&type=1&theater https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=324151024293555&set=a.223449734363685.53625.221490447892947&type=1&theater

That's an awesome sign! Looks like there's something on the way

Well, undisputed is the demolition, but i'd like to know the source for this:

Rumours are also saying that parts of the new attraction, which is set to open Christmas 2012, are already on site.

Unless Movieworld is somehow installing a MAJOR new ride, I doubt they'd take almost a year to build a ride, so I doubt it.

It would be absolutely fantastic if Movie World not only added Green Lantern, the Lethal replacement/refurb but also an entirely new ride by the end of the year. That would truly shoot Dreamworld out of the water

Everyone was expecting something big for Moiveworld's 20th Anniversary, but given that Dreamworld's 30th was the same year, what are the chances that they saved some stuff for a big 21st Bash!?! A revamped coaster (LW) and the replacement for BAATR in the same year, add a special parade (with Bugs Bunny downing a yard glass as the finale) and you've got yourself a pretty good 21st Birthday Party.

Movieworld does seem the kind of park that would celebrate a 21st rather than a 20th. It is Hollywood after all.

A hollywood 21st party you say.... does this mean they add hookers to the dirty harry bar, have all the parade characters getting wasted and use the snow system from the xmas thing to sprinkle cocaine over the crowd?

Sounds like the kind of party Bender would organise, only it lacks blackjack!

I hope they come up with a good ride for their 21st birthday! It would be awesome if they added a new dark ride! Are they removing the entire building or just the inside as that may give us more of an insight into what may replace it.

A hollywood 21st party you say.... does this mean they add hookers to the dirty harry bar, have all the parade characters getting wasted and use the snow system from the xmas thing to sprinkle cocaine over the crowd?

ROFLMFAO I think the cocaine would be illegal. someone else mentioned Bugs downing a yard glass... now that would be epic to see. at the dirty harry bar they'd probably have a 'no minors' sign there due to the hookers IMHO.

Not sure if anyone has come across this video on YouTube before (it was posted in 09), but its the only one i've found that shows Bermuda operating in its prime. The dude who posted the video has dubbed these hideously freakin annoying sound FX over the whole thing ... but you get to see... - the volcano shooting fire out the top - boat audio working - projections all looking superb - good shot of the peppers ghost (UFO disappearing) working perfectly - you get a *glimpse* of the flooding scene - something which i haven't noticed in other videos is the huge lit-up jet of water erupting through the floor ( most water seems to flow in from the jets at the side in later vids) - The fog/smoke and strobe effects on the lift to the top of volcano/final drop (later replaced with lots of red lighting) - The REAL fire inside the ride(!) at the top of the volcano and not the horrid neon replacement - Fog/smoke on the final drop - the revolving load platform in use - the original ride op uniforms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1rBTFcRAjA If you can get past those awful sound effects added - it really does take u back to when this ride was phenomenal.

That's awesome! I would really like to know the actual layout of the ride so if anyone has a map of the layout could they post it here and I'd also like to see the ride with all the lights on. Also, how does the lift hill system work as it doesn't look like a chain lift hill?

Not to scale and my inner artist is on holidays, but this is the basic layout. http://www.facebook....&type=3

I believe both lifts were conveyor belts.

I believe both lifts were conveyor belts.

Both start with dual conveyor belts but then transfered over to a chain lift In the video skip to: First lift 0:32 Second lift 6:00

The second lift hill looks as if it has a chain system. And what has happened to MickeyD the person who started this thread?

Here's a layout that I whipped up on paint earlier tonight of Bermuda, it's not to scale or anything but it's pretty accurate.

Are you kidding me? Good job son. Good job.
