Aquaman – The Exhibition at Movie World

[themagician]

I very much doubt that, as that film doesn’t  get released until later next year. It may be used for FN again, and then maybe an new exhibit will open in December again

I don’t think Kong v Godzilla is exactly going to be rich on props - the title characters are entirely CGI, and “this is the costume that character x wore when looking for kong” or “this is the car that Godzilla stepped on” is hardly interesting or going to bring anyone into the park. They’d get more out of having a Dora The Explorer exhibit launching when the movie drops in August 

[Jdude95]

Maybe it will be a "next generation" exhibit? Everything will be on screens and there will be some lasers?

[themagician]

Last year they did celebrate their 30th birthday, I think an exhibit showcasing the ‘best of’ from what they’ve made of that time period would be cool.

Kong vs Godzilla is much more likely, considering it is produced/distributed by Warner Bros. Dora is by an entirely different production company (Paramount) so couldn’t be used in the “WB Showcase”.

I love that idea! 😊

Dora is Nickelodeon though, so perhaps they would be able to leverage that relationship with a slight rebrand of the showcase. At least as good a draw for families as Trolls Village 😆

But no one says the all the exhibitions need to be part of a “WB Showcase”. WB doesn’t own the park, VTP does and just licences the WB name, as well as licensing the Nickelodeon brand for SW who are co-producers of Dora with Paramount - so an existing relationship exists there.

It's still the same company though.

What do you mean? What’s the same company?

[themagician]

VR and WB are not the same company, if that’s what you are suggesting 

[jjuttp]

HBO, VRTP and WB are all owned by AT&T.

[Brad2912]

Village Roadshow is not owned by AT&T...

*Facepalm*

Wasn't the Kirby stoush just posted on these boards a couple days ago? That has seriously got to be the most boneheaded comment of the week.

[themagician]

While I think this showcase is great and really well done, the curtain really makes it seem likes it closed because while I was there hardly anyone was going in

[pushbutton]

As does the partly closed roller shutter. I'm sure automatic glass doors, with a suitable level of tinting would have been a lot more welcoming and still kept the sun out!

I honestly don’t have issue with the entrance, it is well done, despite being dressing as such on the existing infustructure.

I have seen plenty of guests work out where the entrance is.

But that then would cause limitations if they were to have a FN maze in there, or change it back to a show, etc 

[wikiverse]

@pushbutton@themagician

Wh... What if they just hung a sign that said 'Entry' above the entry?

[Park Addict 93]

How about an A-Frame


 

[MickeyD]

Exactly @wikiverse or paint the word ENTRY on the roller door and maybe add a sandwich board out front? Either way, pretty simple cost effective fixes can be looked at.

The back of the Park has always been a dead corner and will never be properly fixed till hopefully oneday opened up around the back of Scooby to create a 'loop' that connects the front to the back and as already proven effective on FN's.

[themagician]

@wikiverse that would be the easiest option, because I’m surprised their isn’t already an A Frame

[Levithian]

normally door open = open.

normally door closed = closed.

You know, like pretty much every other shop, outlet and pretty much all the rides but the kid section of the park. 

Maybe they overestimated peoples ability to navigate through life.

[westical]

A two-thirds open roller door, of which about the same amount is covered by a curtain, with no visual entrance indicator. I’m with the general public on this one. 

[Levithian]

You can clearly see the door is not closed even if its 2/3 open. I guess the door and curtain is an attempt to try and keep some of the AC in. 

The problem isnt a door, it's nobody had any idea what/where it was. If you go to the park now its the front page attraction on the park maps and staff are carrying them/handing them out and making guests aware of the exhibit.
