The line would be illustrating a utility (water, gas, electricity)

 

it wouldn't be a development boundary given its on the wrong side of the roof support. The building either goes or stays haha

@Brad2912  The post can be moved.

 

 

It's ok,  MW have already moved the post.

Nice! Surprised that building wasn't going too 

You may want to look a little closer.

Was just at the park and there's not all that much to note. Demolition is still going along, and it appears that the park will be utilising the area between the Show Stage and Arkham, as the have demolished some buildings to make a small opening. 

 

On a weird side note, anyone know how often that Sea World Helicopters will land in the Movie World car park? There seemed to be some business people in the helicopter, but whether it's related to the new additions is beyond me. Maybe it's the heads of the company?

Google maps shows a road in behind the facade between SDSC and the show stage. Probably for the truck removing the demolished buildings to access the area?

Adding to the Chopper chat, doesn't MW have a helicopter landing pad just near their admin building.   

And on occasion over the years I've seen the SW helicopter land at MW. 

Calling it a landing pad is a bit of an exaggeration, given its really just half a wind sock, but it's there.  I think when you create a theme park company one of the perks is you get to fly the company helicopters from property to property when you're the chairman of the company and the traffic is bad.  More power to him I say.

Newest demo and boot hill pictures thanks to TPSN. Only a matter of time to see if the facades hard against the Show Stage will also be going?

More pics

Just taken. All buildings to the left of the walkway alongside the Scooby building now gone

Land is quickly being cleared

Different angle

cheers for the photos guys ??

 

Thanks Brad.  It really opens that area up.  I have a feeling that the building in front of the show stage will be removed by hand so not to damage the existing building. Can you make sure my line on the ground is still ok?

Doesn't look like the Show Stage is going anywhere so far, but we do know that air conditioning specialists were working in there. 

This gives me fresh hope that maybe the building will be kept and used. Perhaps to house the worlds best attraction.

Fingers crossed!

At least now they have the option to re-theme the area to something completely different. The western/boot hill theming was great to start with when the park opened, but became overkill when they added WWF and thus even more Western theming later down the track. All that really needs to be kept that way now is the eatery and the walkway down to WWF.

Just hope it's not more bloody DC theming that replaces it LOL... I will cry if it is ?

Surely MW would not do that to us.  I do here a lot of negative feedback from adults in the park but the kids seem to love it.

Given DC is only just beginning their cinematic universe of films, it will only become more & more popular. I'd happily see another DC ride open on the old Lethal forecourt or if they went ahead with Doomsday in the SE footprint. I don't think however, they should be putting a DC property in this newly cleared area. A new themed area would be ideal

Looks like the road between SDSC and show stage allows the trucks to enter/exit via the main studios gates. This allows uninterrupted access to the site during park hours, unlike a site contained within the park making heavy vehicle access out of park hours only.

Therefore I'd expect a fairly short work timeline for whatever attraction actually goes in here. This is of course depending on whether the show stage stays or goes.

wrong pic kept

whatever is going there it's going to be BIG

Well you could hope for multiple flats, you could get 2 or 3 in that space, or given for the most part it's previously been a ghost town with nothing to offer, I wouldn't be half surprised to see a single flat just plonked in the middle of the land with some theming around and room for something else 'in the future' 

It appears that Movie Park Germany is getting a new Mack coaster this year. 

Could this mean that the original mention of Movie World getting a new coaster from Mack actually be getting the old Movie World Germany confused with Movie World Australia?

Out of interest, does anyone know why they are using Logan City Demolition crews? Nothing against them obviously, I just thought there'd be some more local ones they would have used.

Guess like all things it comes down to price, and availability.. Maybe the MW job has been pushed forward and Logan City was all that was available on shorter notice

After a quick Google search I would say they are "local". Probably also comes down to the equipment required, and as said, availability. They seem to do quite a bit of work for all the GC themeparks.

At MW right now, more progress this morning... Not a huge amount left now! Just a massive pile of rubble. 

 

These pictures just remind me of the devastation we saw at Wonderland post closure...

 

Anyone got time this arvo to head down for photos? Apparently the whole facade in front of the show stage is gone now and they have started cleaning out the site a bit. Sounds like only Boot Hill and the rotunda thing to go.

Uploaded photos yesterday, so just pretend that last facade is gone.. And presto!

Working split shift today and tomorrow, so no go for me unfortunately ??
