New Night Parade for Movie World.

[New display name]

An advertisement played on Hot Tomato today advertising a new Night Parade these school holidays at Movie World. 

The ad said “Come to the all-new parade these school holidays from 6 o’clock”.  It also said new characters will be introduced to MW during the holidays.

 

In the past MW, has run a special parade event like the one below.

 

The advertisement did not mention a name for the parade so what do people think it will be?

I'm hoping the new character relates to the coaster theme. 

I'm really hoping, like I'm sure @Zanstabar would be, the parade and coaster are 

All-Star

Alter Ego: Olivia Dawson
Occupation: Student, Adventurer (retired)
Known Relatives: Unnamed mother, Craig (brother)
First Appearance: JUSTICE LEAGUE ADVENTURES #13 (Jan 2003)
Base of Operations: Apex City

All-Star joined the Justice League (animated style) as a temporary replacement for the Green Lantern John Stewart, utilizing the power of the "star-charm", an artifact belonging to the evil Weaponers of Qward. With youthful exuberance and the powers of flight, force blasts, and the ability to levitate objects, All-Star aided the JL against the Qwardians, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, Grodd, Chemo, a force of Bizarros patterned after the League, and climatically, Brainiac, who had mentally enslaved the Green Lantern Corps. After a crisis of confidence, All-Star saved the day... at the cost of her powers. Nevertheless, Batman himself assured Olivia that she is, and always will be, one of them. the world believes All-Star dead.

Givin this parade is pretty much certainly going to be DC and the it's basically confirmed to be DC Hypercoaster at this point, I think the chances of themes overlapping are high.  

 

As much as I'm not one for the over DCing of everything I reckon it'd be pretty cool if they brought it back after the coaster opens and ran it during the Xmas holidays and just went to town with the comic characters.  Hell they could even claim that the 10 year plan to bring DC to the park is complete and now is when you should come check it out and then go back to being actually creative with their themes next time they add something.

@Reanimated35 I thought I had escaped the clutches of Smash Mouth

Great to hear they are doing this, I wonder if like WC they will make use of the lights and other elements (smoke machines, fire machines, etc) to the parade. Maybe these holidays we will see the park remain open until 7 then.

Do we need to start with a list of non-current DC street characters at MW and start ruling them out?  We have done such a great job with the coaster, I'm sure we have this too.

Yeah, she's been there for a few weeks now. 

As for the new parade, I'm sure more will be revealed very, very soon... probably sooner than we think, given the school holidays are only a couple of weeks away 😁😉👍

Thanks as always @Theme Park Girl, another great job from the Super-talented folks at the Costume Department !

[MaxxTheMonster]

What if (like the Superman character) we will see the return of some previous heroes and villains?  Didn't they have a whole bunch of other DC heroes and villains during the DC celebration a while back where they actually had a huge fight during the parade?

 

Too lazy to find the thread and my comments on it...

I'm going with villains for the new characters.  Instead of just pulling some random DC villains' name I'm going to get my list form Super-Villains Unleashed.  I think Superman need a rival so I'm going for either Bizarro or Lex Luthor.

As I said... 'almost a daily basis'. Those characters you have listed are not main daily characters. Willy Wonka does not come out anymore.

[themagician]

@JaggedJanine Oh I thought the Roadrunner, Coyote and Foghorn Leghorn were now in the parade every day 😔

[Brad2912]

Definitely not. In the last 2 years I've seen each of them once in the parade.

Road Runner and Wile.E were only in the parade for a little while after the 4D movie was introduced. Foghorn comes out every now and then. I've only seen him in the parade twice.

[Brad2912]

Awesome new initiatives. Really tapping into the 'experience' market. Seems Movieworld is getting the jump the DWs "experiences that stay with you after you leave the park" 

[joz]

$99 for a 90 min experience and a costume early in the morning not including entry.  Good luck with that

 

As an aside, how good is Road Runner 4D?   As an added aside, I'd love to see a show which is just a foot race between the Flash and the Road Runner up Main Street.  There's no way licensing would allow it, and it would be awful, but there's something about it that would just be the greatest thing ever.

SO GOOD. Best one they've had since Shrek, and isn't just a film edited to fit into 10 minutes. Just as good as the classic episodes, but with modern graphics.

[Original]

Best use of the seats too IMO, they get a good work out during the show. 

[joz]

Yeah easily the best since Shrek.  It's almost the perfect movie for the park, I really dig it.
