Another small new bit of detailing outside the photo shop.

There are two of these "expired" parking meters.

It’s details like these that take MW to the next level. I know it’s just parking meters, but it’s these small details that add to the parks feel and theming, and add to the ‘magic’

I wholeheartedly agree...  But I do wonder...  How many people not paying attention while staring at their phones is it going to take before they are removed again?

 

Regarding the changes, it is good to see so many of them taking place so quickly.  It is also fantastic to see that current upper management is taking note of things that have constantly been discussed / complained about (not just here but in park as well) and rectifying these issues.  Staff around the park seemed that much happier on Wednesday while I was there and it really carries through to the guest experience.

 

Can't wait to see what else is in the pipeline...

Maybe they are bringing back the vintage cars that used to sit in Main Street, and they’ve installed those meters in there for those cars

You can also turn the knob on these too, which changes the little sign that shows.

Just spotted these guys roaming throughout the park (they're near Doomsday right now), playing classic jazz!

 

And now Main Street 

A few additions to the parade

 

These are not new obviously, but it does seem unusual for them to be around the park 20 minutes after the parade has finished. 

 

Team Cream Studios also appeared at the park performing numerous times today 

It was really great seeing the Gatsby Show return today as well 

What's Team Cream studios?

Just done abit it research, they are a dance group located in Nerang 

They were at the park today (I’m pretty sure you would have seen them today in the park) 

Missed them somehow. Really great though to see so much new entertainment!

Don’t worry, They are going to be there every weekend for the holidays so plenty of time to still see them

They come out later now. There's also a point around 5 or something that they come out in their PJ's too.

All this stuff is looking great, love extra roving entertainment, it just adds to the whole feel. 

Not everything will ever be perfect, but this looks like a step in the right direction and won’t piss customers off, rather enjoy their day more. Can’t wait to check it out. 

anyone that pays that for a fast pass that only lasts for 1 day is bonkers.

With our current park offerings, why is more than one day necessary?

And really, only people who are visiting the park for the first time or who haven’t visited for a long time are going to buy one. Realistically, how many people with yearly passes will buy a Fast Track. If it’s busy, rather than wasting money, come back another day and go on the rides you missed out on then.

Nobody can justify a multi-day fast pass to a park that on weekdays outside of school holidays permits everything to be done by lunchtime.

I know I’m crazy, but I’m going to brave WBMW this coming Saturday, and I’m thinking Fast Track might be the way to do it. It’s a shambles though: the MW website says it doesn’t include Rivals, and makes no mention of Green Lantern. The ticketing site says it does include Rivals, and doesn’t mention GL either. The sign posted here earlier, includes both GL and Rivals, so I’m assuming that’s the most correct?

I was only at the park in July, so for me, the most important thing is Rivals, and GL as it was closed for refurb on my last visit.

What do waits look like on this type of day? Would it be worth considering Fast Track?

On a busy Saturday, you'll find that:

Superman has about 45 minutes - 1 hour

Rivals will have 1+ hours

Scooby will have about 30 minutes - 45 minutes

Green Lantern will have below 30 minutes

Batwing will be about a 20 - 30 minute wait

Arkham takes about 1 hour, but queue times change alot depending on loading.

Wild West, on a hot day will be about a 1 and a half hour wait, and more.

It really depends on the weather, and if the rides are all opened. On Saturday, it says tempuratures should be around about 28 degrees, and it seems only Wild West Falls is closed - so expect long(ish) lines. You've also gotta remember that NSW will go on holidays this Friday, meaning the lines will be much longer. Play it by ear, and see what it's like when you get there.

The park won’t be supet busy until Boxing Day, but do expect some crowds. Occasionally you do get really quiet Saturdays especially during school holidays when perceived crowds turn people off. I don’t think a fast track would be necessary but I’d just play it by ear and see how busy it is.

Thank you! We’ll arrive early and see how we go.

Was at the park on Saturday morning...

Managed DC Rivals, Green Lantern, Superman, JL3D and Doomsday in 35 minutes...

You just need to know what order to attack them in...

I was there Saturday afternoon about 1.30pm and the queue for DC Rivals was about 5 minutes. 

This time of year is generally the best because they run the rides with all trains going, and there aren’t really queues. Just see how crowds are when you arrive, or maybe go on a couple of rides and then decide, but I very much doubt you’ll need it. After Boxing Day, for sure though.

Is that the order? I’m familiar with touring plans for Disney Parks but haven’t been to the Gold Coast Parks in the summer since the 90s. 

The order I generally do them is

Rivals

Arkahm Asylum 

Superman

Green Lantern

Batwing

Justice Legaue

Scooby-Doo

Wild West Falls
