WWF is testing the new boats with dummies now!

is it just me or do other people also feel uncomfortable about water rides with separated seating after the Cedar Point Shoot The Rapids accident in 2013? still looking forward to try out the new boats though

Edited December 19, 20213 yr by Rivals

What does separated seating do/prevent?

is the thinking that individual lapbars are fitted to the individual rider and therefore make escape in the case of a flip over all but impossible?

not that I would think a West boat could flip, but since these are new boats... who knows?

I just heard that green lantern is stuck with riders on it 

last time i went down to MovieWorld, Rivals had around 7 seats down and 3 minute dispatches if lucky, Doomsday around 8 seats down with 5 minute dispatches, Superman broke down around 3x and Green Lantern had a pretty lengthy breakdown too, we ended up giving up and going to Dreamworld, were taipan’s trains were ready to dispatch when the train hit the final break run, both sides of Giant Drop running and even Gold Coaster had pretty fast dispatches…. MovieWorld really needs to try and sort these issues out before the crowds come in. 

I was just riding DC Rivals about 10 minutes ago, row 5 left seat, don’t know which train and the clip that holds the back cover of the seat broke. Luckily there was a little rope holding it so it didn’t fall off but still a frightening experience. Tried to get a picture but the employees wouldn’t let me. As of now it’s just done a test run.

Update: they’ve transferred the damaged train off and I believe will reopen tonight with just the one train.

Update 2: tried to get ride photos and unfortunately couldn’t due to the people in front of me doing “inappropriate actions”

surely management knows that having your Stand Out attraction in this condition is not a good look for the park or brand….

It certianly left me questioning the thoroughness of their maintence.

Movieworld lowkey getting a bit stingy on their rides ig, but what more can they do if the apparent issue is to be blamed on supply chain issues? Through my eyes, things are starting to feel a bit rushed as well (in terms of rides and attractions).

Doomsday never had ALL seats active when the ride reopened after a lengthy downtime.

After who knows how many months, Rivals' second train STILL doesn't have all seats active - let alone any backwards seats.

Green Lantern - don't even 💀

Superman seems to be the only strong thrill attraction going. All seats active on one train with consistent dispatches between cycles.

Is anyone able to confirm whether or not the second train for Superman has been brought out yet? On my last visit as a guest on Tuesday, the second train was seen with open harnesses from Batwing within its maintenance area.

i feel like the park needs to close for some sort of off season this year, even if it’s a one time thing, and just sort everything out, catch up on all maintenance and just to get the park back up to speed with everything, cause in its current state it’s falling apart as we speak (in some cases quiet literally, with the back of one Rivals seat covers popping out)

Speaking of maintenance... Went on Scooby the other day. The screens in the elevator were mixed up; big Scrappy appeared on one of the side screens instead of the front screen. It was also out of sync (as usual). Next Generation was a mistake.

Sorry to hear that. That's unacceptable. Never thought I'd be start worrying about safety standards at Movie World of all places.

Dreamworld's operations have been indeed been fantastic the last couple weeks. Let's hope this is the new norm and they won't slip back to old standards!

The DC Rivals climb and Star Tour are also no longer available, despite it being advertised in park

Couldn’t think of anything worse to do in the heat of summer, and all for a elevated view of a carpark and motorway.

 

if the stairs are anything like the ride at the moment, every second one is probably broken anyway….

You don't have to worry about that now considering Doomsday is down and out again.

Along with doomsday being closed, Rivals has now been added to the list

Ouch, that's a pre-Christmas dampener. They're going to be desperate to get Rivals back up and running otherwise people are going to drift down the road for the new hotness Mack coaster.

whatever the issue was with Rivals today it appears it has been solved as well as Wild West’s maintenance date being pushed forward to the 26th.

Possible we see GL go down for a couple of days. One of the compressed air tanks exploded tonight.

Last week you said GL had an explosion and this week SE has a fire. Do you work at the park or just a guest at White Christmas who got to witness these things

Just happened  to be there both times

Did you see the fire? 

because

QFES do random inspections all the time making sure business are compliant with fire regulations.  It’s the biggest job QFES do.

or

Most fire alarms QFES respond to are unwanted alarms.
