Movie World Maintenance 2022

[Im Hungry]

I understand that this has been added to their website around the last week or two but just thought I'd leave them here.

Movie World has added planned maintenance periods for the following rides in 2022:

Interesting that they are already showing next years maintenance. Maybe because of all the complaints they’ve had this year about stuff being closed, they are planning ahead so people can book next years holidays, knowing when stuff isn’t closed

Once again, some of those are really weird times.

JDS for only 8 days, Batwing for 2 months after a major downtime this year and DC Rivals for almost 2 months also.

Also bit unrealistic thinking Doomsday will be open for the downtime in Feb.

[Thrill Seeker]

Hmm I guess the little kids train will be down for maintenance

Comments suggest this is old footage ("i remember that time") and i'm pretty sure Sam Train was scheduled to go down today when I checked the list last week so I'd suggest the two are not linked. I could be wrong though. Anyone know any more?

[themagician]

This was the original schedule from the start of the year

The schedule and the TikTok defiantly have no correlation. Based on the post above by @themagician I believe it simply got moved back to ensure it didn't fall during school holidays.

Yep I think you're right. 

I spoke to an operator in WB Kids yesterday and they confirmed Sam operated all day on Monday and was scheduled to go down after holidays ended.

Does anyone know what the new boats will look like yet? In my opinion I reckon its pretty stupid their putting individual lap bars on it, as there was nothing wrong with the single bars and they were much faster to secure with faster dispatch times.

Just like Roadrunner, each seat will have individual lap bars for the safety of every passenger onboard.

Take into account someone with large legs (a parent) sitting beside someone small (their child). You can imagine that when they close their lap bar, the parent will have theirs as tight as they can but the smaller passenger will have plenty of room to move around (posing a great risk anytime from dispatch to unload).

Honestly with water rides I feel much safer with looser restraints, the ability to wiggle out of the lap bar gives me much more peace of mind if something were to go arry in the water. IE see the Splash Mountain incident a few months back wheere the boat started taking on water and everyone just got out of the boat. 
Anyone else feel like this? 

[Levithian]

If the water is clear enough on the day, look closer next time you ride wild west falls. It has a raised floor in the deep sections of water the boats run along, its nowhere near as deep as you might think.

I would imagine the boat could fill with water if it was somehow submerged as the entry side is lower to allow guests to board the boat, but i reckon those troughs have been designed because of those very issues. Everyone will get wet if a boat sinks, but the floor would stop riders being submerged (ie, going over their heads) as the boat would bottom out on the raised floor in the troughs.. 

Its also difficult to see much movement from the boats given how narrow the troughs are, so they cant turn on their side and get stuck/flip. Plus, dont forget the down ramp sections of the ride are out of the water and rolling on road wheels. They dont float or slide in any way when dropping. Youre only floating leading into/around the lazy river sections. So its probably one of the safer types/designs of water rides.

Allegedly Road Runner has reopened. The website says it's down but a ride operator told me via Insta that it's open.

There has also been footage uploaded to FB of guests on the ride today, technical rehearsal sign is still out so possibly a soft open as such.

must be. heaven forbid i thought re-theming Justice League to the original suicide squad movie was a bad idea.... 

Yeah its a bad idea. Replace the whole thing with a RoboCoaster and then retheme to Suicide Squad.
