What's coming to Movie world?

[rappa]

Yes myfun is a separate company to the parks.

[BigKev]

I know we can't say much about the surveys but the last couple really have me wondering if Movie World has lost the plot.

[Brad2912]

The options today were stronger than last time.

One clearly not a viable MW attraction, another park perhaps

One decent option

One great option

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

On a completely unrelated note - I hate when unrelated surveys use videos hosted on random vid-hosting sites instead of youtube. And I also hate how they won't let you complete a survey until you've actually watched THEIR video. I can't see random vid-hosting site videos unless i'm at home (which is rare), which means I can't proceed through the survey and give my opinion on things i'm already familiar with (or have watched on youtube)...

this of course is a completely unrelated survey about an unrelated topic.

[zacsta_1997]

Brad2912 I agree. They were better options this time. I'd rather see the 2nd and 3rd option in the park

[Reanimated35]

Given that they changed the options, it shows that they are actually taking on board the feedback and aren't just doing it for show. Obviously there's a favourite in there too. Let's hope that happens.

[JacobSibbald]

One that's been on the survey twice sounds promising.

Hello! Long time no see!

Anyway, based on this, and other things I have seen, I strongly believe doomsday is coming. Check out the doomsday thread for more information.

[Spotty]

I'd love to know what things you have seen, because I seriously doubt it's going to be coming to the park. It just doesn't fit with the park demographic really, or in the location suggested. You can keep imagining it happening, but I seriously doubt... and I am almost confident enough to say that it won't be coming to the park.

[Santa07]

check the doomsday thread for the 'superman' news... the new ride will have something to do with superman it seems, which makes doomsday a possibility

[themagician]

I can't see MW getting this tower ride when they already have a a tower ride. I think it would be a great addition to Sea World though.

[Santa07]

sea world wouldn't actually be too bad... the scenic option would give some magnificent views

[lolman123]

^where would propose they put it?

[AllegroCrab]

I used to get themagician and santa07 confused enough as it is, but now you guys have very similar pictures as well.

[themagician]

^where would propose they put it?

On the reclaimed land

[Spotty]

Sea World wouldn't be an option for this attraction, as it has a height restriction of 30m... Anything taller than Sea Viper is not an option really... Just because it's related to Superman doesn't mean anything in regards to Doomsday which IMO is a very poorly thought out attraction for the likes of Movie World, and i'd consider it to be a dead project.

I wouldn't read anything into what Movie World posted on Facebook too much honestly, I'd just expect it could be a minor upgrade to the surrounding areas of the attraction to make it look nicer as they have already repainted all the supports for the ride. I'd assume next period of maintenance the tracks would get an overhaul along with maybe the exterior.

[Flea]

Considering they had so much trouble keeping a Ferris wheel I seriously doubt they'd get a 500ft tower. SW has height restrictions

Edit: beat me to it Spotty

So you're adding a non-tower ride that's appeared in 2 surveys, to a message posted on facebook saying they're doing something with superman, and from that you get "we're building a drop tower themed to doomsday" ???????

Considering they had so much trouble keeping a Ferris wheel I seriously doubt they'd get a 500ft tower.

The wheel was 50m high. So why is there a restriction of 30m? So why was the wheel installed if there was a restriction and did it have to be removed due to height?

[Reanimated35]

I thought they had special permission for it as a temporary attraction then it wasn't popular enough to keep or their contract ran out.

http://news.smh.com.au/national/sea-world-eye-to-close-on-gold-coast-20071212-1gm0.html

Gold Coast City Council officers initially approved the Eye as a temporary structure during the 2006 Christmas/New Year holidays but it became part of the landscape on the picturesque Southport Spit.

Sea World insisted it was never intended to be a permanent structure.

Nevertheless a special council delegation ordered the Eye banned in April this year following complaints it was a blight on the Spit, where environmentalists have fought hard to stop a shipping terminal and marina from being built.

Council eventually granted approval for the Eye to operate as a temporary ride until January 2008.

In August, the Eye was closed for a day and a half for safety checks following the death of five people who fell out of a gondola from the 66 metre tall Giant Wheel at Busan, South Korea.

The Giant Wheel's Swiss manufacturer, Ronald Bussink Co, also built the Sea World Eye.

Warner Village Theme Parks chief operating officer Steve Peet said that since its arrival in November last year, the Eye had been enjoyed by more than 680,000 people.

Ok thanks for clearing that up. I thought it was a great addition though. It offered great views. It was a shame when I first heard it was being rover. But I can understand why environmentalists would want it removed.

[rac2703]

Wasn't it the same wheel that is now the "Wheel of Brisbane" at Southbank?

[Tim Dasco]

I thought the wheel went to Perth then Perth put it in storage.

[themagician]

The wheel did move to surfers and then I don't know what happened. The one in Brisbane was there before it went to surfers (I think)

[Jobe]

Pretty sure your correct rac2073 and the Brisbane Wheel is the former Sea World Eye.
