Speculation: New Attraction Planned for Movie World in 2016

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

Hey guys just got some major news coming from one my of mates who works at MW! There's a "major" attraction coming to Movie World next year, no official confirmation on what the attraction will be and where bouts the attraction will go. I wonder what it would be!

Not before time.

Sounds interesting. Can't say more than that until I have some idea what it will be. 

[Santa07]

Very excited! Can't wait to hear more!

The return of dippin' dots?

Given the only change to the ride line up in the past 12 month is the unfortunate closure of GL, and there is nothing in the our pipeline for the next 6 months, I think anybody could have come to the rational conclusion that we'd be seeing a new ride in 2016. 

[joz]

Yeah look that's a bit of a surprise, a lot of people were saying new flat ride.

I'd say there's a very high chance it will be, especially if it's going to be a flat ride. The comic book craze is humungous right now and the fact they have a timeless nature to them means that Movie World won't have to re-brand the ride when the existing theme becomes irrelevent to public eye e.g. Lethal Weapon, Gremlins and Young Einstein. It is interesting though that the only ride that is themed to an actual movie is Scooby-Doo, which they got lucky with because the Scooby-Doo brand is also somewhat timeless with its constant reruns and reboots on kids TV channels and time slots. Where they would put the ride though is a tough call though. I've always had a problem with how Movie World was planned. They really didn't take into account for future expansion and pretty much forced themselves into a tiny corner of the huge plot of land that Warner Village owns. The vast majority of it is occupied by the studios and the horse paddocks for the Australian Outback Spectacular. If they were to theme the ride to something non-DC related, they would theme it to an iconic genre of film, much like how Wild West Falls is themed to western films and not just one particular western film. The only genres that I can think of at this point that would be worth paying tribute to are the classic Sci-Fi and Horror movies that were huge in the golden age of cinema. They've already covered Western, Action, Comic books and Cartoons so maybe something else to add variety?

Possible flat ride in the Arkham Asylum courtyard? Would be mint.

It's a fairly easy assumption even without the staff member - friend - connection, but the park frequently tells their staff ahead of time when something is coming - those who have friends in the park usually find out on the sly, but usually specifics aren't shared (and rightly so given their employment contracts).

MW is due for another attraction, with JDS settling in and GL being out of action, i'd say any new installs may have been accelerated a little specifically BECAUSE of the issues with GL.

Only time will tell.

[Wil_i_am_not]

And the new attraction is... GREEN LANTERN RE-THEME... yay

[jjuttp]

Or Doomsday?

[downunder]

Well it looks like RMC are already quite busy lol.

Another indoor coaster would be good (to keep the neighbours happy), something Van Helsing at Move Park Germany - I'm being realistic here.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I think there's a glut of coasters for the size of the park at the moment. I really think MW needs other offerings that don't cost as much as a coaster - then perhaps they can install a few of them to bulk up their line-up a bit more to help with the park's capacity and longevity as a 'full day' park.

There's a reason this site is PARKZ, and not just roller-coaster.com.au... much as they're the flagships - coasters do not a theme park make.

Totally agree. Any more DC themed rides and they might as well go ahead and rename the park Superhero World instead of Movieworld ? Fingers crossed that common sense prevails and they come up with something new and fresh ?

I have a lot of GP friends who, when given the option, don't tend to go to Movie World just for the shear fact that they don't have as many rides as Dreamworld. According to many of them, once the big rides at MW are done, the day has already just begun. 

While I would absolutely love to see a new coaster, I think it might be wise for the park to invest in some smaller attractions. No park can survive on only E-Tickets. Some well themed and executed flat rides would be perfect, as the can easily chew up crowds and fill in those empty space in the day.

Now's the time were I'm torn between hoping for the addition I want and the addition that I know the park needs.

I'm not sure but I think a Intiman Gyro Swing (or something along those lines) would really suit movie world. You could easily theme it but space is a big issue. 

[JeffreyMoore]

while i know its never going to happen what they need to do is right there infront of them . replace the looney tunes river ride with a brand new well themed looney tunes dark ride . im sure they don't have the budget to do so tho

[Flea]

I'm not sure but I think a Intiman Gyro Swing (or something along those lines) would really suit movie world.

And I'm sure it will draw massive crowds with an Intamin Gyro Swing 5 minutes down the road.

[Brad2912]

Nor do they have an empty studio to utilise for that sort of ride... 

[Zanstabar]

Only two I can really think of would be either a madhouse in the Arkham Area or an enclosed inverted polyp themed around Poison Ivy. While I'm not too keen on the continued use of the DC franchise, either of these would help flesh out the Arkham area of the park.
