The Parkz Update: Movie World November 2012

It's beginning to look at lot like Christmas in this edition of the Parkz update.

White Christmas Preparations

A giant Christmas Tree over the main fountain means White Christmas is back for the 3rd year running.

Ice Age 4D is temporarily running a Christmas edition throughout December. It runs in the Daytime too, so it's not just for the White Christmas nights.

Obligatory poster shot for the historical records.

An area has been fenced off next to the Grand Archway...Anyone know why?

A zipline has been put up over main street, for a flying fairy in the Christmas Parade.

...

The fake snow is back.

Arkham Asylum Changes

Arkham Asylum has recently undergone some changes to its theming, including a Joker statue to pose with.

You want to know how I got these scars?

Some of the Superman Escape columns have been repainted to look like Birch tree trunks as you transition into the Arkham Asylum area.

It's a cute little detail.

The painters had some fun with the fire hydrant too.

Some new signage ensures people don't miss the entrance.

A vandalised cop car leeching smoke has been in the courtyard for a little while too.

Something is missing from this wall....

The defaced Quincy Sharp ("Conform and Comply") mural has been scrubbed.

New Foods

Gotham City cafe has new premium "Prime Burgers".

Wild West Burgers is now known as Wild West Roadhouse, with a few new, American style menu offerings.

The new menu.

Also at that end of the park, Fanta Icy Whirl is now available at Rio Bravo (at the Wild West Falls exit)

Justice League Settles In

Justice league generally operates quite smoothly and most opening month quirks are resolved

Queue light, or a light queue?

Be sure to take the time and watch the news reports in the first room.

The justice league statues have become a popular photo op.

For the comic book fans, look out for the ARGUS logos on everything from the bits of equipment in the queue, to bins and the ride op uniforms. ARGUS is a branch of the US military supporting the Justice League.

At the exit, a few of the themed baricades have been set up to better direct guests.

That wraps up this slightly tardy edition of the Parkz Update. White Christmas is underway right now, and worth checking out if you can still get tickets!
