@Reanimated35 Sorry I was still editing my post when you replied. I indeed did see the "Park entry not included in The Ultimate Terror Tour" statement above the buy tix button. I just wanted to confirm that it meant park entry to Fright Nights, rather than park entry during the day?

It includes neither.

I can't help but notice that Movie World has used the quote "if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to  fear"  on facebook when advertising tickets. This quote is very similar to the Nazi World War II propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels quote "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear", so probably not the best quote to use.

Woah that went from 0-100 real quick!

Can I ask a question for people that have been. Whenever I've gone on the UTT no one ever checked for Fright Nights admission tickets. They only checked our UTT booking. Is that always the case or just the off nights I've been there?

[jcgoldcoast]

@djrappa I've been asked if I did have a Fight Nights admission ticket, but never been asked to produce evidence... Is there potentially a report that is run before each to match up UTT tickets to admission tickets/redemptions purchased by the same person?

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid thing to say.  My mother would say the same thing when she wanted to check if I had done my homework.  The same quote is used everywhere for all different reasons. 

 I can't help but notice that you reply negatively to every one of my comments on here. Sometimes with replies that make no sense. When it comes to the quote, if you look it up the first thing that comes up is its origin to Goebbels, also includes articles that ridicule a MP for using the quote.

@GC Theme Parks You must be on the dark web.  This is what I get when I search it on google.

MW are "not" quoting Joseph Goebbels.

Don't want to be negative towards what is going to be an awesome event. The only reason I realised it was a similar quote to Goebbels was because I looked up the quote to see if it was linked to any franchise that could potentially be a maze and the link to Goebbels was the first thing that popped up. I'm not suggesting the Movie World in any way intentionally did this, I'm just saying it probably wasn't the best quote.

May for the UTT they would be best putting "Fright Nights ticket required (additional cost)"  or similar if you need to have a general entry ticket so save on confusion.

[Reanimated35]

@djrappa it's been hit and miss for me. Maybe just over 50% of the time I have been asked to produce the admission ticket as well as the UTT pass. 

Seems that the later you show up the less they care as they're in a hurry to get everyone in.

Guess it's the same as they say at booking you need it show your membership/VIP pass along with your redemption ticket on entry, yet in 6 years I've never shown my annual pass, just handed them the redemption 

[MaxxTheMonster]

Anyone else having issues with redeeming their free tickets from their membership?  Says we have already redeemed ours for this event...

[Park Addict 93]

Single entry FN tickets for the first 3 nights are also on Groupon at discount

[jcgoldcoast]

@MaxxTheMonster Yep I had issues - I had to call and they were able to manually redeem over the phone straight away

[Reanimated35]

This area looked amazing last year for such a small space.

Movieworld does some good stuff with their fright nights decorating and theming despite a somewhat small budget (what would be their annual fright nights budget?)

[themagician]

When you go to buy FN tickets it offers you the general admission and redeem tickets, but what is the VIP Admission for FN Members?

[MaxxTheMonster]

Discounts for Membership or VIP pass holders...  Redeem one free and then pay less for the next...

[Brad2912]

It's Membership/VIP pass admission

ie, if you have a FN Membership or VIP pass you choose that option

 

[Reanimated35]

Because if I didn't ruin it for everyone, someone else will. And since this guy made it public someone was bound to stumble upon it soon enough. 

This year's mazes are:

• Conjuring 2
• From Dusk Til Dawn
• Halloween
• SAW

The hashtags have now disappeared 😏 I wonder why...

I think they are great choices for mazes. Definitely ones that are well known & will draw in the crowds for sure.

Also fitting with the release of Jigsaw in October, would have liked to seen a Resident Evil 7 maze but I think that saw is good for a maze as they have done it two times in a row

Wow I'm sure this getting out will ruffle a few marketing feathers!

woah scoop

Dodgems are finally closed down

Went to movie world yesterday and noticed the hedge fence was gone as well as the maze.

Was actually going to bring that up

I heard from someone who went to the TVC on Wednesday that it was shot in the From Dusk Till Dawn maze which was in the same location from last year (sheds near WWF) which makes me question why the Dodgems closed in the first place but in saying that they could have filmed multiple TVCs for this years event (just a wild guess)

Edited September 3, 2017 by Adventures With JWorld

[themagician]

Or just multiple scenes in the different locations to make the one TVC

[Reanimated35]

Should have filmed it at Dreamworld and just made everyone use their imagination.
