Yes, I hate paywalls too.

Follows the typical village approach of 'it's already open so why spend more money on it'

They have however installed new shading (in the form of permanent umbrellas) over the outside queue area for Scooby since the trees have been removed/majorly trimmed.

No, they Still haven't.

I went last week and it’s a nope for both.

Or seating and shade within the land.

Yeah look, i've been thinking similarly - but wondering if they've put any shade into the WOZ queues yet... Which is exactly why I said

Sounds like MW know what they are doing then. IFMW do a decent job on Scooby & the new stunt show, it might even temp me to change my passes to Village this year.

Actually I viewed the park's post on social media and the comments are a flood of people saying they needed to plan a trip \ buy passes \ renew passes etc.

WOW! From somebody being excited Scooby is coming back and you got all that. and the fact it's the best family coaster in Australia.

Nostalgia (almost) always wins

The park teases a ride opening people have waited three years for and suddenly everyone forgets the sorry state of the park overall and is all shut up and take my money again. This is why Village has so much contempt for guests and has zero care for the guest experience.

Looks like full swings now. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19m4GNsWFn/

Imhotep looked like he could have done with some work as his mouth wasn’t really moving.

IIRC, no. The AD is the closest we have until Discount Michael Bay™ arrives.

It's been so long since I dare to watch the show, I can't remember if the "Almost Pulled a Burnout Show" currently has an opening Warm-Up person.

This certainly sounds like a step up from "burnouts: the show"

@DaptoFunlandGuyI wasn't saying it wasn't legitimate issue. . Same issue. . Same ride age. Same issue one year apart. People can draw their own conclusion on why. Without a lazy river, WWW is just picking up the crumbs @DaptoFunlandGuy 😉

I have it on good authority that that was a legitimate issue. Doesn't mean it can't happen twice. And still it's my preferred waterpark... As for attraction age - 47% of WnW is older than WWW: White Water Mountain's first incarnation (now River Rapids) is over 40 years old. Replaced fibreglass 18 years ago, but essentially the same attraction (including the foot-shredding pebble-crete splashdown pool) Giant Wave Pool is over 40 years old Calypso beach is 28 years old Aqua Racer's first incarnation is 28 years old. More recently replaced fibreglass and timing system but essentially the same attraction Whirlpool Springs is 23 years old Mammoth Falls is 20 years old Blackhole is 19 years old Tornado is 19 years old Additionally, Kamikaze is 17, Constrictor is 13, WnW Jr is 11. There's then a pretty big gap until Kaboom, Double Barrel, Super Ripper and H2Oasis opened in 2021- though the opening day is hard to nail down with the on-again off-again operations in it's first season. Let's not forget the SBNO attractions which aren't included in the attraction count at WnW including: Skycoaster Zipline All-in-all, WnW has shown that gaps of between 5-7 years between major attractions aren't unusual - so you'd be correct that WWW would be due for a new attraction soon, but not overdue just yet. And, in my opinion, I still think WWW is the better Waterpark to visit.

WWW had the same excuse last year for The Bro. "The Bro is having problems with the main circulating pumps with the required pressure not high enough to run the slides" @HarryHeHe8it doesn't matter how many coats of paint they add. WWW is old & tired. WWW hasn't opened a new slide for 6 years and 71% of WWW attraction are over 19 years old.

Hence why they use the tag line 'biggest'... though 'best' is more subjective. I personally prefer WWW - it is more relaxed, things are closer together so less walking involved.

Also forgot to mention the competition. WNW has opened a new slide complex and have a wider range of slides. Granted, they have lost AquaLoop and Surfrider, but my point still stands. They have more to do.

I feel like it needs another repaint at least, as some slides like BRO are starting to fade again. They also need another slide or area, as we haven't had a major upgrade since FULLY FINALLY 6
