Police Academy and Gremlins and Batman all closed TO be replaced with something though. Like I'll give you Tunes because it just closed with no idea of a replacement, but if the game is just to list things that have closed, then a full list is on the database.

The problem I have is for the rides or shows that were replaced just aren't as good as the originals, and that's not nostalgia talking.

I wish most of these rides could have stayed and instead they had of just been as Disney put it "plussed" to bring them into the modern world. There was nothing really wrong with BT until the gas line was cut and never fixed. 

Only Scooby was a great replacement. JL comes close but the ride feels too slow with an underwhelming end. If the ride vehicles had of done something more than just move slowly along you'd have a great replacement. Our rides now miss that great build up and anticipation of getting to the actual ride that BT, LT and Batman had and that Disney continues to use to tell the story.

To be fair Bermuda did a lot more than the gas line wrong with it. A lot of effects weren’t working too, but that’s because they were just left and never replaced. A major refurb of that ride would have been worth it

It's going to reopen, Movie World know how to maintain their rides. That thing has at least ten more years in it

So if it doesn’t re open, are you saying it means Movie World doesn’t know how to maintain its rides?

Cos if you look at WWF barley any effects were working when I went a month ago.

Well if they do decide to tear it down, they better replace it with a B&M

Seems like we might be nearing the end of our only full sized inverted coaster. I’m actually a big fan of Arkham, just needs a second train to improve the terrible capacity.

Yes I agree with you on that, what's wrong with it exactly?

You want to know exactly?

I think, if the maintenance team at MW, or Vekoma, could figure out exactly what was wrong with it, they'd have probably fixed it (or demolished it) by now. My guess is they've been trying to figure it out for months. And if they can't figure it out, it'll close... which is looking more likely.

[Zac Beckwith]

It's just a shame that it seems that the ride is closed more than its up at the moment

Should we start taking bets on how long Arkham will be SBNO before being demolished? My guess is 412 days.

Well Vikings revenge has been waiting a long time.... But remember a world class attraction will replace Vikings Revenge in 2019! Oh wait.....

At least Vortex will open in December 2019.... well Trident will open in April 2020...... oh wait.... maybe Leviathan might meet its deadline?

Not my AA meeting...

They've been updated again since @themagician's post.  That will be very disappointing if its true. GL has already had major downtime at the start of the year for the repaint.

So GL, AA, Superman and WWF won't reopen when the park does, as well as no parade and less shows.

 

Good luck guest services staff 🙂

[Tim Dasco]

So is Dreamworld hanging off a little longer a bad thing. Honestly seems like a smarter idea to open with all rides open. Rather than open a half closed park.

Just wait until the 20th of July, when Doomsday, Superman, WWF, GL and AA are closed. What a boring day that would be.. 🙄

[Jdude95]

Hey guys! We managed to open before the other park up the road. Nothing in the park is open.... but the park itself is open! Come on in! 

[rappa]

There’s a simple approach to take it you’re not happy with the offering. Don’t go. 
 

Or perhaps visit the place you don’t like and then afterwards complain about how much you didn’t like it. That the 2020 way isn’t it?

I wont be. I'm not visiting any theme parks until COVID is dead and gone from Aus

[Cobra]

It’d be nice to at least take a walk around the park, even if the rides are not open. Though it'd be impossible to be distant
