Movie World speculation and dreaming - 2015 edition

[westical]

Something that Shrek used very well.

[liz.wis]

Yes, fair point.  There's basically no theming in the pre-show room.

Happy to report all effects working well on Scooby today, minus a bit of extra needed smoke on the 'hidden' drop at the end.

The carousel looks like its undergoing a major refurb - it's gone. (Trying to upload photo from my iPhone but it don't load onto the page for some reason)

[Reanimated35]

Maybe they broke it at FN

[BNErider]

Anyone know what that new shop near Dirty Harry bar is going to be yet? Extra points if anyone has any recent photos!

[Brad2912]

Didn't take photos but appears to just be an extension of the outlet 

[Levithian]

Maybe they broke it at FN

I reckon it's not far from the truth! That thing looked like it was enduring far more than a carousel should. hah.

Heard that dirty harry build is indeed an extension, kind of like a bar and grill thing is going to happen. It would be ace to enjoy some charcoal grilled chicken and a beer for lunch, as long as it's not like $30.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

when you consider the price of a burger, chips and a drink, if you're expecting charcoal grilled chicken and a beer for less than $30 - you're gonna have a bad time.

It has a large display window (all fixed glass) and there is an industrial extraction fan in one corner.

 

Carousel panels siting everywhere in that area but central section not there.

Here's a pic of the carousel if anyone is intersted.. 

[Reanimated35]

Does it normally get torn completely down for maintenance?

Does it normally get torn completely down for maintenance? 

nope not all, I say they are doing a mini refurbishment to the ride

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

in other news I just had a look on MW's Facebook page, they are getting criticised over their pray room, being for Muslims only, 

[Theme Park Girl]

Doesn't seem so much for it being Muslims only but for its existence in general. Apparently a FB group called "Reclaim Australia" has only just decided to shed light on it after a decade of it being in the park. Now its members are kicking up a stink over it and being encouraged to flood Movieworld's FB wall with opposal/complaints.

[Brad2912]

Do I think it should be there? Not particularly. Does it bother me or effect my trip to the park - not in the slightest. Id rather they get rid of the Vacation Club people (though at least there is some sort of financial gain by having them).

[Reanimated35]

There's 0 reason to even walk past it unless you're seeking it out is there?

People just seem think that every Muslim must be a big bad evil terrorist. 

IMO regardless of what room is there, that section of buildings/fair games should be demolished for a new ride.

the situation is kinda calming down now?.. (Before anyone asks what the hell I'm talking about, read the four last posts on this topic then you will understand what's going on)

Not really. Well over 50 comments on their page. A few wars going on between people who couldn't care less and the ignorants that are just copying and pasting what they've been told to post...

[themagician]

Im lead to believe that Superman is making a return to MW. They are currently looking for a male performer to be 'one of the worlds greatest superheroes coming soon to the park'. Applications close on the 13th Novemeber, so maybe we will see him make a return at Christmas.

[Brad2912]

If it is indeed superman, I'm surprised they would be looking for someone to play a character in their early-mid 20s. Superman is in the cinema universe is generally represented as being in his early-mid 30s

[Theme Park Girl]

Wouldn't be Ant Man or any of the recent new superheroes to hit the big screen, would it? That said, I have no idea if he is DC Comics or not. Just thinking outside the box ?

Would be awesome if it was Superman tho ?

Yeah, what a mess. Although I reckon that the Reclaim Australia people weren't expecting so much opposal to their complaints... seems nearly every single post of theirs now has a shitfight going on in it ??

There are still new posts being made. Movieworld are remaining professional and appear to just be giving their generic responses and ignoring all the disputes. 

I'd personally love to see them delete it all, alas I can only imagine the new shitfight with cries of censorship that would cause if they did. Damned if they do and damned if they don't ?

ETA: Damn. Was trying to find the comment where some moron was referring to Movieworld numerous times as a cinema instead of a theme park. But it looks like they have deleted it ? Just comes to show that most of these idiots are jumping blindly on the bandwagon and don't even know what they are protesting, let alone who they are protesting it to ?

^Yeah Antman is Marvel, so they wouldn't get him.

[BigKev]

On the plus side, we can now officially measure how slow these morons are, although 10 years is a little less than i would have predicted I must admit. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Hasn't the prayer room been relocated over the years? I'm certain i've seen it located both to the rear of Rick's, as well as in the former blazing saddles arcade...

[MaxxTheMonster]

It was in the original guest services area for a while, then behind ricks and most recently in the western area.
