    For me, not selling out indicates village annual pass numbers are down.

    The video in the reply above yours shows fast track, and what appears to be general standby. There's no way you'd fit single rider up that corridor - and they're certainly not going to prioritise capacity over making money off queue jump passes. It's been said it's just the beginning of the video, and if that's the case i'm not against it - you can't skip credits on stuff like that - but even if it isn't, i'd be totally ok if they'd worked out a sponsorship deal for it. In my view, watching what I assume is a 'making of' \ 'behind the scenes' video while standing in a queueline, even without HBO branding - isn't quite the embodiment of 'immersion'. If you want immersion in a queue line, check out WOZ or Jungle Rush, because it isn't projector screens playing movie clips.

    Like last time i'm sure they'll mysteriously sell out on the day of, while still having plenty of tickets available to sell at the gate.

    It would probably sell out if they announced Scooby was open during the event
  6. Today

    The event starts tonight and so far only 2 nights have sold out, I wonder if this will change today. Flash isn't listed on the open rides so will be interesting to see if that's open tonight and Superman Escape is still out of action. Another year, another underperforming VRTP event.

    You’d most likely only see the ad every time the movie ends and resets back to the beginning so you’d see it a max of 3-4 times in line accounting for school holiday crowds. I don’t think it’s fair to call it a bombardment of ads for HBO Max, at least compared to whats seen on the screens in the station of DCR where it’s ads are present 95% of the time.

    Isnt that just the opening credits
  11. Themepark Enthusist started following Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster Overhaul

    The indoor queue looks amazing! However in my view, nothing quite embodies immersion like being bombarded with HBO Max ads while queuing for an hour for one of Australia’s most “iconic” rides… might be worth the trade off for the extra fountains and props, however for a park that’s build so much hype I would prefer no ads

    Queue looks nice. Hoping there's a single rider line

    Yeah, I have ridden seat one and it was very intense compared to my previous ride in about seat 30…. Also, King Claw has been down for the last 40 minutes or so.

    The opening date for the show is the 19th Dec
  17. Yesterday

    They started deconstructing the stage and outdoor area of the house today. There will be house tours through the school holidays (dates to be confirmed). Gold Coaster was meant to reopen this Friday, but has been delayed to next Friday.

    The original Claw always parked in the same spot as well, visible with a little black line that almost looked like plumbing tape on the motor and the gondola to align it.
  20. DaptoFunlandGuy
    That's really interesting. So to contextualise these references: Seat 1 faces the queueline Seat 10 faces Tailspin Seat 20 faces shockwave \ dreamland Seat 30 faces main street. I'll have to try facing main street.
  21. Ash
    Yeah I returned to the same position as where I left which is good

    I noticed this too, but I noticed that the rotation speed of the gondola is such that you will experience at least one 'face down' and one 'face up' moment at the top of the swing, but generally a seat favours one or the other. In a seat that started facing main street, I spent most swings face down, only getting that 'inverted' feeling on the final swing. And it was the inverse when I sat facing Tail Spin. I generally found a sat facing main street was less disorienting/nauseating for this reason.

    Something I forgot to add though is that the ride parks in the exact same spot every time. The numbered seats are always in the same position. As far as I could tell from watching a few cycles, this isn't a jog setting at the end of the cycle - meaning that each seat uniquely differs in its ride experience, while the same seat will generally give the same experience on every ride - for example, seat 1 always seemed to be at the apex of each swing \ seat 20 always seemed to be at the bottom, with 10\30 on the sides. Not a scientific observation by any means, just my own observations - so could be totally wrong - interested if anyone else observes the same...

    Not long exposure

    This was a fun ride. I found it to be a lot less nauseating than the old Claw. The transition time between the weightless and positive G forces is spread out along a wider arc, so while you still feel both at a high level there isn't the change between then isn't as rapid and that made a big difference for me. I mentioned this way earlier in this thread, but it really is a different ride experience - still thrilling, just in a slightly different way (when it comes to forces on your body). The lack of OTS restraints is nice, but I did feel like I needed to hold on - partly because I didn't know what to do with my hands - but also partly because you do kind of fall forward a bit if going through the arc face-down. I guess this was also true with the old Claw, but you used to just be able to flop onto the restraint which isn't there anymore. This is the perfect ride for DW right now, high capacity, great theming, high thrill. Now that it's open, I guess we wait for the next big announcement.

    Fast passes available to be purchased on the 19th of December for scooby doo.

    ...and a water ride, and eureka mountain and probably half a dozen other things that were removed without replacement. they're still doing great - but there's still a lot of holes in the lineup.
  30. Bailz
    Just did King Claw, it’s an insane ride and pretty high when you are on it. Very forceful aswell. Theming is amazing, soundtrack was running and sounded great. Overall, a 10/10 addition for the park and a great crowd filler. Just need a replacement for wipeout now 😛
