Aquaman – The Exhibition at Movie World

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

@Levithian - unfortunately a partially closed door, with a curtain pulled across, is a fairly universal sign for "this isn't an entrance for the public - our staff \ workers are using this door, so we keep it open, but you aren't supposed to come in here, which is why the curtain is pulled across.

I used to work retail, and it was common to drop roller shutters across the doorway, to about head height, to allow existing customers to exit, whilst serving as a barrier to new customers entering. Whilst the curtain and roller door don't prevent anyone, its a fairly clear signal of 'don't come in here', and in all seriousness - a simple A-frame (which we know VRTP love) that says 'this way to the Aquaman Exhibition' with an arrow, or even "Aquaman Exhibition - OPEN".... it really is something very simple that would help prevent confusion in a place where guests check their brains at the door. Just because you can figure it out - doesn't mean the lowest common denominator can...

Just walked through the exhibit and I think it is awesome. To be able to sets and costumes that close is really cool. I hope they continue to feature something like this and change it every year or so, because the park needs something like this 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

^so long as it is not at the expense of more sizeable attractions, i'm sure everyone would agree with that. The park needs more 'movie' in it's world... But, on the same token, I don't want them to cheap out and say - only install a new ride every 5 years because they can fill the other four with movie props that were already paid for at the box office.

Both they go adding more rides they’ve got to fix/finish what they’ve got... SDSC and HSD

I would rather stuff like this then another coaster.

As much as I think it’s great and should have a permanent place ( movie based exhibition), this type of attraction is not a major drawcard that brings people in the door, it’s filler.

Think that is their plan, an attraction like this then another ride.

Probably not the A4 frame sign we were expecting but it will do

The "Large Items" restriction - to reduce the risk of injury to other guests, or hiding of stolen items from exhibit??

Jason Momoa’s handprints and signature in a concrete block (Chinese Theater style)  have been recently added to the Aquaman Exhibition. 

[Brad2912]

That’s a cool addition! Wish they had a permanent walk or wall of such things from all actors/actresses that film at the studio

They have names on the stars around the fountain at the entrance, but that’s it. 

[Brad2912]

Yeah aware of that... but you kind of stumble upon that. It’s not exacty well presented, and I’m not sure how “up to date” it is. Does it have Johnny Depp, Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins & Jason Momoa”? I’m not sure but something tells me no...

[themagician]

I very much expect they haven’t been updated in years. They should make a big thing of them and have a some sort of ceremony when they add a new one, especially since so many Hollywood actors have been next door lately

Massively missed opportunity. Would absolutely help the "Movie" theming of the park versus the "DC Comics" path they've been going down.

It would be good to see the stars cleaned up and shiny. As it is, they don't look cared for at all. 

As there's a limited number of them, perhaps when a new Hollywood actor visits, replace one of the oldest stars with a nice stylish new one, until they're all new  (then keep going).

Stars that are removed from around the fountain could be relocated elsewhere in the park, if practical.

This might be the wrong attitude to take but for some reason I've always found the old and faded stars made it seem like more history had happened and like you're more connected to the person. Reality is of course that the person's named probably didn't even know they were getting a star, but the older faded stars always made it seem more legit to me.

Props have started to arrive

 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Is it perhaps time for a new thread, since Aquaman isn't the theme anymore?

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

WB Showcase is reopening November 1st 

Details were revealed on a Movieworld fan club page on Facebook 

[Jay Jay The Jet Plane]

Update on post above, heard rumblings the date above is incorrect so sorry folks for the misinformation there!

[jjuttp]

"Fan Club" should have been the giveaway there.
