Or somewhere to sell the wrist band for the interactive parts of the area.

Thanks for the updates Ninja. I guess that framework behind the op booth confirms they are going to try and disguise the gap with more facade. good on them for following through!

I do hope they still plan to do something with the top white bar on showstage though.

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

Well, it is the grand total of two and a half months until opening, you'll have plenty of time

It never really occurred to me, but that's a really long time till opening when the ride is (more or less) installed.

[bladex]

yeah but they have to finish the shop

Big teases huh..

 

assuming their must be a long way to go theming wise and logistically the ride had to be in place before it could be done for site access reasons 

[rappa]

Better the ride is finished and solid than it gets to opening day and pulls a Lightning Rod

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

going to have to pull the dictionary out and add 'pull a lightning rod' to the list under 'doing an AndrewH'

That's probably the most important bit to Movie World.

I wonder if they'll slap the dreaded locker tax on this one like Superman?

Nah. The lockers will be added to the new rollercoaster next year though. Can't really put them on a flat ride since you always end at the same location. But they will make sure the new coaster has 2 stations and add a gift shop at the exit and forced locker hire outside the shop.

[downunder]

^I thought they might try it anyway, but being far from the best attraction in the park it might encourage people to skip the ride.

Yeah that would make sense with the coaster to maximise locker revenue lol. 

[JaggedJanine]

Some from today. And yes, i am aware the last 2 are out of focus. Also looks like they have removed the 'bent steel' bits from behind the booth.

Was told by a staff member today that it will be a shop.

 

Do we know if this ride will have on-ride photos??

[Brad2912]

Doesn't come across as the style of ride suitable for on-ride photos.

Looks like MW didn't like it after it went up.

I know it isn't lockers, but it is bag storage separate to the ride itself - and could very well have been lockers instead of free storage:

• The Claw
• Wipeout

There might not be bag storage at all, I'm thinking riders will put their bags on the floor like on Tailspin, Giant Drop or the Freak Out travelling ride, since I don't believe Twin Hammers have moving floors like The Claw or Arkham Asylum. 

MW will put the locker tax on the new coaster however. Granted, that is quite obvious.

[themagician]

But they do have loose item storage for Tail Spin and Giant Drop.

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

don't forget Batwing...

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I'm not 100% but i think TailSpin you just leave it on the floor next to you.

GD i think has baskets on the wall to put stuff in, or again, on the floor in front of you.

Nah, they have a pigeonhole thing in front of the control booth for bags and loose items for Tailspin
