Christ, the one day that I'm working all day. Guess I'll give it a crack on Monday.

potential soft opening this arvo?

Do we know defiantly that it will be open tomorrow?

Stop writing defiantly. Defiantly means defying someone on purpose. Eg: "The protestor defiantly stood in front of the logging truck".

There are plenty of pics up on the Thrill Zone International facebook page - Looks really impressive.

I have a POV and and A POV With Sally Corp CEO will upload very soon

Why. WHY. WHY IS IT ATTACK OF THE KILLER STARFISH.

I know right, why would they choose starfish? But anyway, pretty cool ride. If it comes with a decent pre-show I reckon it's going to be worth the wait.

lol.... that is what I thought as well. The ride is great. I enjoyed it. IMO it does not have enough targets, but I think WVTP did a commendable job. Nate

Well there you go, It looks pretty well themed I dunno about the action thought. It all looks a bit slow. The sound is horrible in that video so cant wait to hear it properly. I am sure the 3d glassed will make the screens look "less like screens" than they do in this vid. Ill reserve judgement until I ride it.

If you look at the concept art there are quite a few of those "starfish" alien spores shown, can't wait to experience first hand.

Thrill Zone International says it's set to be open by tomorrow. More inside photos to see here on the page. - http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.343760699050387.78768.101696389923487&type=1

I also hope it sounds a lot better in person, there doesn't seem to be many sound effects for a city being attacked by aliens - no Sirens, screaming, not even the sound of the wall collapsing - I suppose this is to make it less scary for the younger riders

Dammit why on the day after my "weekend"? Don't start until 3pm for the next 4 days... Looks like a trip to MW just for this is in order.

Hey Guys, Yes we know about the sound. We mounted the Go Pro on the suction cap on the car and the noise that it is making is from the guns that you pull out in front of you. Wasn't aware of the noise at the time. The sound effects is way better and you must try it out. It does open tomorrow so make sure you get in first. Again Sorry for the noisey video.

Randy, all good, thanks for the video. Whats your impressions of the ride? Its the shooting good or just kinda tacked on? The overall feel while on the ride, how is it? How about the 3d? The preshow areas look amazing from the photos

From Movie World's Facebook post...

I think this is what is on the mist reflection thing in the ride.

I will have another video maybe uploaded tonight, As myself Channel 7,9 and 10 got to sit in the back and record kids on the ride. Make sure you tune in tonights news for more video footage. Overall Movie World did a amazing job with the queue line and also the ride itself. The ride goes for 5mins thats the cycle so it goes at a decent speed. Theming is great! I said to everyone that I saw "Everytime I went around something worked and somethings didn't" Eg the doors. The doors didn't open up so the car kept going and ran into the door which is like a spring door. (Lucky it rubber stuff in the front) Guns- I realised you dont have to press the trigger all the time as the laser stays on. It reminded me of the Big Red Car and the Mic. The funny thing is me and my friend was in the front and no-one at the back and came back and the back had like 1000-3000 points because it turns on auto. 3D is pretty cool!! And the smoke screen is awesome! There is part where it is all smokey because a Space landed on a cruched car. Great effects in there. (Bit Before Green Lantern opens the door) Overall seeing it is a family ride would give it 5/5 just because it is a 1st of it kind and detail is great.

Hopefully it's just my hearing and Batman isn't just moving his lips even when he isn't talking.

^ My guess is, with everything in their opening days need tweaking here and there.

We completely need to allow for things not to work straight away. Everything has teething problems. This ride really looks like a big step up for Australian themeparks.

Why. WHY. WHY IS IT ATTACK OF THE KILLER STARFISH.

Starro is a villain from the DC universe: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=starro&hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&prmd=imvns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=UxBcUPilIsaZiQfY3IHYAQ&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1212&bih=633

Waited at Movie World today for a chance of a soft opening (but also did some rides)... No luck, but yeah, it looked good and sounded amazing (you can hear the sound outside the building/studio). Dammit, I have work all day tomorrow.
