Movie world Maintenance 2021

Nobody saw an Electrical fire. How even would you? 
Just the same as nobody saw an EXPLOSION at Green Lantern. 
 

Pretty much the same garbage as when someone tells you the story of how they got electrocuted one time, which is baffling how they are telling that story if they are DEAD

[MWgirl247365]

So did these things happen legitimately or is everyone on here trying to bring movieworld down???

Still if it didn’t happen then why say it did? Does thrill seeker have a vendetta against movieworld or something??

Please tell us more

Not a huge amount to report, test seat outside the ride. Boarding gates much like a coaster, water is currently clear.

Ride didn’t feel any different with the new boats, although some reports have stated they were moving to no loose items onboard this is not the case.

Some of the effects are still as they were prior to closure. New spash trough prior to the water tower appears to have been built but was not functional.

Wow! Looks great with all of the work that has been done

[Levithian]

Heh. Some of you are pretty quick to call someone a liar when apparently they did have a fire, but it wasn't actually part of superman, just something park related that was behind the fenced off area.

if someone says it was at superman, they were there and happened to witness it then yes, they are lying.

[Levithian]

It was at superman and it happened during park open hours, so yes, people would have seen it happen.

What are you saying here?

It was or wasn't Superman?

[TomiJ]

The other day I burnt toast at work and it set the alarm off. The whole building was evacuated and the fire Brigade antended. Moral to the story; nobody cares and nobody cares if there was or wasn't a fire regarding superman. It does not seem to have affected the ride as it is still open.

in your first comment you said it wasn’t at superman but actually in one of the fenced off, off limit areas of the park, yet now you’re saying it was at superman? chile make up your mind on what the story is before commenting

I’m surprised to see so many fountains in this thread. This is the first I’ve read on Parkz but I had heard this same information through an offline source.

minor, no need for sensationalism, but legitimate fire occurred and I’ve heard it from enough reliable sources now to be satisfied that something small did occur.

im yet to hear anyone confirm this exploded air tank at GL though.

So I went on WWF this morning and there is actually a lot more changed than you might be expecting.

Firstly, the queue line is the same, but as we’ve seen in images the station has had some major changes. Because of this new loading procedure, it makes the queue much much longer. Especially when there was an hour queue for Scooby and the ride has issues so closes and everywhere goes to ride WWF instead. For some reason they wouldn’t open the extended queue and instead had the queue out the door going towards WB Showcase.

The boats themselves are a bit smoother, but are very restricting for the legs because of the harness system. Any larger people who have ridden it in the past might have a very high chance of not riding it anymore because there isn’t much leg room anymore.

There are a lot more handrails throughout the ride was access as well.

Not sure if this is new, but there is a wooden crane that slightly moves before the first lift hill (you can see it between the trees)

There is no longer a staff member at the turntable where you go backwards. Instead there is a bright light and a camera. There is no video or sounds in that room anymore either, so it’s very ‘meh’ when in there.

The water effects at old faithful sort of work again. 

The train and tribal area effects are working.

The tombstone and population effect sort of works. They both do their thing at the same time, but there are no sound effects for it.

The village has become very very meh. Nothing happens except for the final railing ‘breaking’. There are no sound effects, doors moving, etc. 

The sound pouring out the water tour happens, but no sounds effects.

The final lift hill is a bit quieter and smoother, but no sound effects at all. The man with the gun projection is there, but no sound.

At the top, nothing happens either. Doors open and then the drop. 

Some signage throughout the ride has been repainted and/or replaced too. All the sounds throughout the entire ride and queue have been updated, but they have removed a lot of them. And the ones they’ve removed I feel like are very important because it was very very quiet in the areas where there isn’t any sound. In the queue audio they also refer to the ride as the Wild Wild West adventure. 
 

So overall it’s great they’ve replaced the boats so they can keep the ride operating, but the rest of the ride is just getting worse. Every time the ride gets a refurb, it gets worse.

Sounds like bunch of stuff just not turned on. Likely because it was turned off during testing because it was annoying workers and nobody has checked it. 
 

Sure it wasn’t the updated sounds from before this closure?

[themagician]

I hadn’t been on the ride in a couple years, so maybe they aren’t as new as I thought.

Along with Scooby having issues this morning, GL was closed all morning being tested. Rivals was either having issues or was very slow operating because I didn’t see it run all morning. And Doomsday remains closed.

This made me laugh as well

Could've just said it like that the first time 🎢

Not surprised to see Doomsday is still down for maintenance, but I'm keen to try the new boats on WWF soon. Will be most looking forward to how much quieter the lift hill will be...
