DC Super Heroes & Super-Villains 2019

[Park Addict 93]

Some packages for the DC event have gone on sale on themeparks.com.au. So whilst not yet officially announced we have confirmed dates. Not entirely sold on the escape room 😕

June 29 - July 13

Curious. It seems like they're holding it a bit later than usual this year.

The escape room could prove interesting, depending on how difficult they make it. Though somehow I feel it might be more tailored for the younger crowds. But I suppose we shall see.

By chance, would it be possible to grab a link to those ticket pages?

June 29 - July 13 is the school holiday times for QLD schools, so it works perfectly.

Parade at 5:30 each night celebrating Batman’s 80th Birthday 

Joker’s Funhouse Party from 6-8pm each night with food trucks, music/djs and rides open late. 

Fantastic! 

[Pakowski]

It definitely sounds like a lot of fun!

I did notice that they've made no mention of the Costume Contest from last year's events- or the 'Come Dressed Up' component either for that matter.

I wonder if they've scrapped it for this year...

Bit more info on food options, and show schedule

Nope 

Email tells me otherwise 

 

Jokers Funhouse just to confirm, is an free charge of event included in your admission, think of it as Afterglow 2.0 

 

I am also very surprised that the ‘fight’ shows are returning this year as well

[Brad2912]

Why would you be surprised about fight shows returning? There has always been fight shows at this event? 

Hell when I was there on Sunday they had a new show in the western area where people were being constantly shot and dying on the ground

So am I right in saying this is almost like Afterglow and DC Super Heroes and Super-Villians combined into one event?

Essentially, yes.

Here is a direct link to the ticketing page. The main website/event page is live now as is the show schedule.

The email link for the terms of the costume comp still links to the 2018 terms at this stage.

There was a lot of backlash regarding the costume comp of "professional" cosplayers turning up a few minutes before park close and scooping the prize. I do hope that they revamp it, essentially to either exclude them, or give them their own category so maybe the kids or the "non-serious" players can have a chance.

The whole competition itself was quite a wreck in all honesty. Comparing it to something such as Supanova Comic Con's cosplay competitions (which has a registration setup with a cut-off time, categories and numerous other structures), even for the 'professional' cosplayers, it was very much a hurricane of an attempt- Especially with $1000 in play each night.

I could go on for ages about how they could improve the competition, but the fact of the matter is, despite that footnote in the email, there's been no other mention of the contest returning this year. If it does, I know there's a long list of people, cosplayers and parents alike, who would like to see some serious improvement to their criteria and selection processes.

Dress up competition should be limited to kids IMHO, or fucked off.

[Brad2912]

Which is what I think most of the attendees figured it would be... should absolutely be 12 and under

There is a special place in freak hell for those kind of people. 

What kind of soulless loser wants to steal a competition of a kid visiting a theme park

Apparently the competition won’t be happening this year

I was pretty sure Bikash had said about it on PCL the other night, but he could’ve been referring to something else 

[FoolishMortal999]

No in park competition this year. However movie world are encouraging adults and children to dress up for the occasion.
