They definitely need to improve the entrance procedure. Because right now... IT IS SHIT. The queue was almost back to the ticketing booths, and only 2 gates were open. The stroller/wheelchair entrance sign is still up, and a couple people tried to enter that way, but security told them they needed to enter the normal way. 

Scooby-Doo, DD Store, Dirty Harry Grill were closed. And the Dirty Harry Bar was just opening at 11. 

And Drink refill stations were all closed too

There was some work happening here though, couldn't work out what was being done

So they said everything would open when the park does... and yet as you can see below. Hardly anything was. WWF only operates from 11-4 and they have now got these even crappier plastic cards on the chain for the villains area.

I don't reckon there is anything wrong with the plastic cards.

I think the area is much better now it is all free.

plastic cards have been there for months now. I don't have too much of an issue with it, apart from the fact that they look really cheap and tacky. 

I love that it is now free, but the way they present this system now just isn't at the standard the whole area is it at

There is a new roaming character in the western area at MW. This photo is also stolen from TPSN

Wonder if he fancies a job selling soft drinks 🤔

Are you sure? There's no female performers in the pic?

Long hair confused them. 

Hi everyone, I've been lurking these forums for a few years now but today I have decided to open an account. So here we go, my first post...

This isn't really an improvement, but more of a suggestion. I'm sure this has been discussed here before, personally, I find the covering over Main Street very unpleasant to the eye, and it takes away from the magic of the main Street that it once had. When the shelter was erected, it looked alright but it hasn't aged well. Wasn't the purpose of main Street to make it look like a movie set? I get the idea of the shelter, but I think it's removal will go a long way in creating some magic in Movie World. Thoughts?

I get your point but it serves 2 very good purposes, and serves them well. It obviously provides sun (and occasionally rain) protection, and it some special events, and especially White Christmas, it enables various spectacular special effects including snow and light displays, which just wouldn't be possible without the roof.

I think it's still possible to see it as a movie set, given that many of them are built inside studios so would ave a roof over them, even though they're supposed to be outdoors.

 

I think the roof was a great idea, just poorly executed. The columns weren't placed well down Main Street, and should've been installed behind the facades. That would've kept the magic there, and still serve its purpose

By the sounds of the investor/market update, the HyperCoast(er) Walk appears to be standalone as opposed to part of the Star Tour.

The results flagged more potential for growth as it rolls out new attractions like Sea Jellies, Shaun the Sheep, the new HyperCoast Walk and the new Australian Outback Spectacular show.
