Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster refurb

[joz]

Both of you have thoughts which are wrong, however you are welcome to continue to be wrong. Have a blissful day!

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

that wall has literally always been there. Why are you crying about it's lack of theme now, just because they removed a tree? if i'm wrong, you'd have been complaining about the bare walls in 2004.

[Mc coaster]

The issue here is not that the wall is not themed it is that the removal of the tree exposed a bare wall that ruins the “spooky” feel of the entrance. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

err.... you're on a movie set?

AlexB and Joz, you both have thoughts which are correct. You are welcome to continue to be correct. Have a terrible day!

Literally what you see in this picture costs more than the entirety of MW however...

It's superb themeing, but the lack of it at the Gold Coast parks is one of the reasons it's so cheap to get in.

There has to be a balance, and I'm glad I can afford to go to several good parks whenever I want.

Good, not quite world class, but that's ok by me.

Even Universal doesn’t try to hide the whole show building, it’s all about perspective. 

Perhaps they could continue the Stonework half-way up the soundstage, and incorporate the pillars that hold the posters as part of the castle, and paint the top half “sky blue”.

Be interesting to see if those trees block the view of the show building in a few years. In any case that's the side of the ride, not the front. The front of Scooby should at least be up to its own standard.

 

To be honest I don't hate it. Obviously it looked better with the tree but it's pretty 'meh' to me. Just the line about how it's the movies doesn't hold any water.

[rac2703]

Heres a slightly better mock up of my idea, obviously the right side would have to be done as well to keep it symmetrical. I don’t it would cost too much to implement and I think it makes a big difference. 

[red dragin]

The cloudy sky and the angle, exaggerate the blue wall, in my opinion. 

I don't think you can stand that far back square on to the entry, which narrows the field of view to the Castle section. 

Justice League looks to be similar on the left, with a tree in the way though. Superman has nothing, DC Rivals is pretty sparse. 

Ultimately once your close to the entrance, the last thing you are thinking about is that blue wall. 

[themagician]

Nah, I don’t think that blue painting idea would work, and would make it more obvious. They just need to put another tree there

From the Movieworld Snapchat location, it seems that you can see people going on the ride, not 100% sure though

I think they need to decide if they want to be fully immersive like Universal attractions are, or if they want to hold onto the Movie Studio identity and let it look like a sound stage.

[themagician]

@Snowman244081 I just had a look, since it’s at night, I’d say it was a private event held in the castle, but the ride itself wouldn’t have operated

The SDA Christmas Party was held at Movie World last night. I had a friend there, she sent me this photo from inside.

[themagician]

My favourite part about this photo is that the screens have gone

EDIT: Nope never mind, they were in the other corner 😢

Screens would be essential for it being utilised for functions, it’s not the presence of screens but the content on them that is important

[rappa]

Shame the tree went. The landscaping of the park used to be beautiful back in the day and you could tell it had a lot of care. 

Be nice if they could stretch the budget to bring in a new mature tree to replace. 

[Brad2912]

Wrong post..

I was at the SDA party last night, I can't tell you how tempted I was to jump the temporary barrier. There was even a table there to launch myself over it. 

[Mc coaster]

I can’t tell from any of the pictures but has anything been changed or updated in the queue room.

[Jeff83]

I didn't notice anything. The only change was the barrier, polls and chain removed and it was brighter in there. 

[themagician]

And all those changes you noticed were because of the event
