Still want to go on this ride.

People need to read a thread before posting, the opening date is set as September. So safe to say before October 1st... Recent history would suggest open for a school holiday with a soft opening at least a few days prior to try and work out any kinks. Meaning opening for September 22 possible soft opening anytime from 17th.

that's what i said 4 posts ago....

Dammit I had yesterday off and was considering heading down to the park. This is looking great. So assuming open for school holidays in 17 days, run a soft opening the week prior we should see people walking through that arch in just over a week. Hopefully...

I was referring to the fact this was posted a few days prior to his question.

Any news on an exact date??

I was referring to the fact this was posted a few days prior to his question.

I was asking for an "exact date" as no one has posted anything about it besides it is opening in September and it is already the 10th. Anyway, the whole idea is for me to go the day it opens if it is a weekday before the school holidays, that way the park shouldn't be that full, right?

To stand apart from the pack... Couple of things, firstly being another complaint on the over-reliance on the DC brand which would make it the fifth DC-related attraction in a row for the park so thus I believe it to be "Milking" the brand and the lack of diversity within the park. Secondly, too make a quality attraction of this type you would need a sizable budget which with the projected $9 Million budget of this attraction compared to others around the world... It seems to be done on the "Cheap" thus brings up questions on the actual level of quality of the attraction. Thirdly, just to throw it out there considering all Australian parks are extremely mediocre at best... My exceptions are set very low.

As has been said before though - the budgets for these other attractions usually entail the construction of a building to house the attraction - this would be a sizeable part of the budget - they aren't just a tin shed - many safety systems need to go in as well. The building in this case already has all of those systems and infrastructure in place, so the costs are drastically reduced because of it. As for 'milking' the DC brand... is Hong Kong Disneyland milking the brand by it's construction of Toy Story land? DC is one of two major licenses held by MW - the other being Looney Toons. Considering the park already has one full land, a show stage, and several parades and street shows built around that brand, they're equalising the branding by bringing the attraction count up on the DC side. What other theme would you suggest to replace a previously 'batman' themed ride, except another in the same universe? I don't think anyone is questioning the quality of this attraction. Just looking at the new facade on the old wayne manor - it is extremely well done (my partner thought it was real marble), so without 'inside' pictures, I can only predict the interior will live up to the standard we've already seen. My 'expectations' are quite high for this attraction - i'm not sure where my exceptions are though...

One good thing about this ride is that it will take away a big crowd of people at Fright Night (including me).

Id imagine it will be quiet around the rest of the park but you should still expect at the very least an hour of JL3D queueing if you get there early.

You need to stop comparing Australian parks with overseas ones then. We'll never have the budget for a Midway Mania!

Can't wait for it to open hehe

Why do people have to constantly fight over a ride. Any new ride is big for Australia and to just compare them with other countries makes me sick. This ride is going to be amazing, and don't pity it.

You clearly don't know what pity means. Barring that, I agree. The ride will be unique and the first of its kind in Australia, and thats exciting!

First of its kind in the WORLD

I heard Southern Hemisphere.

First of its kind in the WORLD

Do you know something we're not meant to know yet or are you pulling an arkham asylum and its australia first videogame theming.

The world's first shooting dark ride with 3D screens blended into real sets? I think that surely qualifies as a world first

Indeed first attraction to integrate both moving video targets and physical targets in the one attraction. Joz is correct.

Hate to burst your bubble guys, but it's not unfortunately. The Huntik 3D shooting dark ride at Rainbow Magicland (Italy) seems to be exactly what JL will be; 3D screens with both moving video targets and physical targets.

It looks like it has a moving motion base as well, simpler than spider man/transformers though.

When they refered to it being a world first, I think they were simply refering to the theming - the first such ride to be themed around the Justice League characters.

Can you describe the ride in this video because I can't watch it 'till tonight...

Who built this ride? It's looks to me like whilst this ride has physical targets and video targets they are really not integrated together in the one scene, it's either or. Like the gaming system has two modes almost. It also appears the cars stop for each video scene. So I get where the world first comes from of having both physical and video targets in the one cohesive scene. It's Sally that are saying this is a world first, not just our opinion so maybe you should take the beef up with them?

Did I not include the words "In English" in my original post? Awqward...

What was with the 'unfortunately'? That ride still looked great even if it didn't have full on physical targets.

I may be wrong, but I saw that video a while back and came about it from searching for Sally Corp - I think it might just be one of theirs. So if Sally Corp are saying it's a world first, and the ride in the video is one of theirs, then we must be in for something good.
