Movieworld 30 Year Anniversary Celebration Predictions

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

That looks real chintzy - and fun fact - that's pretty much how they accomplished the same effect in the film.

[rappa]

Well you did say you longed for “how we make movies” attractions in the park 😂

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I wasn't dissing it. It does look chintzy, but that is exactly how they did it. It'd be interesting if they had something there to explain it, and\or show a still from the film for comparison. 

Kind of how the studio tour walked you through real sets and revealed the spaceship wall panelling was just styrofoam meat trays glued to the wall.

Literally an A3 sheet of signwriters steel, printed in the flat digital print style everything else in the park is these days to explain the effect of matte painting, etc would be a really nice little touch.

New sign

Oh god, why? Leave the sign/ archway alone, that just looks shit.

I usually don’t mind having a sign there, but I think as it’s a celebration of the park, they should’ve kept the normal sign visible. The banners either side would be a enough

They have this real obsession with muddying the movie world brand, huh? I’m with @TimmyG - a big black box doesn’t look better than the mainstay logo behind it. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

A 3D version of the 30th logo, attached jauntily on a corner of the main logo would have been a really classy touch. 

Someone in the sign shop loves their new digital sign printer a bit too much these days.

They do similar things for white Christmas and fright nights, so it’s not like it’s the first time they’ve covered the logo

It’s their biggest parade ever and their biggest event ever AND it’s for the 30th anniversary, so I reckon bigger is better in this situation, just my opinion and my opinion is I LOVE the setup

yes, they do the same shit every night event - cover the traditional archway in gaudy signwriter's steel, and for this event, which is the biggest ever, AND for the 30th anniversary - bigger is better - so they SHOULD have done more than the same shit they do every night event.

Difference is, this is celebrating the parks history. The parks history is that logo that is on the front archway, not a gaudy sticker that has the parks logo in small print.

And yes, I hate the white Christmas and fright night sticker signs as well.

It's really good to see the Matrix characters back. It's been many years since I heard anything out of that franchise at MW

"Famous American franchise" - surely they could've swapped that out for "shot right here in Australia."

Given it is released a week after the celebrations end on HBO Max it kinda makes sense to try and go for the marketing the new movie angle to tie in with celebrating the original movie.

Also got a split second look at... something. Looks like it's Superman related:

That superman thing looks like an actions comic cover similar to something like this

Interesting angles those ones are taken from

New Ricks menu 

[pin142]

Decent menu and IMO better than the buffet that was offered there.

[themagician]

The vibe and activity through the park right now is so good. There is constantly something happening (down Main Street in particular), characters everywhere, it’s great 

[Brad2912]

Good to hear. The weather turned me off heading down today, will check it all out next week. Should be much quieter than they were anticipating with no Sydney residents allowed into the state
