Theme Park Maintenance 2018

[themagician]

It's great they did all of that stuff, but a shame they didnt fixed the effects (Unless they have, and it was just today they were having some issues because the road only just reopened).

Was the ride open all day and has it officially reopened now, or was it more of a test day? And won't officially reopen until the weekend?

Hopefully they have fixed the effects and it was just a soft reopening. Still states it's down for maintenance on the website so one can hope. Can't wait to ride it again though.

- The channel in some sections seemed to be a lot more shallow than the past

Yeah, they had extra concrete put in to make channels shallower.

Movieworld has some events for the commonwealth games?

Not Movie World, the Studios do though. The boxing, squash and table tennis are being held in some of the sound stages. 

They are also referring to the studios as the “Oxenford Studios” for the games, not the “Village Roadshow Studios”.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question

Wild West falls at movie world is running on a soft run today on and off should be running fully tomorrow says the staff. 😃

"Until Further" notice you say SW? Hmmm..

I wonder if this is SW just being cautious to not over promise and under deliver OR it is for the full removal of VR and starting work on the new ride? Timing seems about right.

But why would they have to close ray reef and penguin encounter for the removal of VR they are so far apart. This is not great for Sea-world with their biggest attraction and multiple exhibits closing there must be something big going on. Hope they do whatever they are doing quickly and get everything open. Sorry to ask but what is OR?

Occasionally, looking at an overhead view may help to visualise it.

RED line is the VR track
RED shadowing is a broad access area surrounding the track - not the ride envelope, but a reasonable assumption of space needed to demolish the attraction
PINK line is the likely route for demolition vehicles and similar to access the area
BLUE area is the Penguin Point exhibit (you might be thinking of Penguin Encounter at the front of the park)
GREEN area is Ray Reef
YELLOW area is Storm Coaster.

I think given the maintenance dates, its fairly obvious what's happening... although Skeet's updated dates that ive just seen might indicate differently...

SpongeBob 3D isn't listed as being closed.

Perhaps the penguins are just closed for the week to allow for crane access for after hours removal of the flume on top of the castle?

[themeparkaddict]

2 months closure for storm? Wow. Just wow.

Not taking into account the likely reason for the closure. Wow. Just wow.

Does seem strange though as the Storm did just close for all of Feb and doesn’t usually close again, so maybe this is linked to the removal of VR

Doh’ Everybody knows storm season is over for Queensland.    Running Storm Coaster in non-storm season is like running Wild West Falls in summer.  What’s the point?

Village Roadshow Studios does (which is next door to MW). They have table tennis, squash, and boxing.

 

Whoops, just realised that already got answered.
