All Activity

It might not be the last thing thats done as guests are sitting down, but to my understanding it’s part of the boarding process. So maybe there’s are loading/boarding area, where people wait and go through metal detection while the ride is cycling. Therefore that wouldn’t slow down the boarding process and keeps things as efficient and safe as possible.

If you're going to do metal detectors, you can't do them "as guests board". Old mate with a belt buckle, or a metal plate in his head is going to hold up the line while they check and double check that it's not just his loose change in his pocket. Metal detectors need to either be at the entrance to the queue (Battlestar Galactica), with lockers prior to queueing, or at a mid point prior to the final load queue (flying dinosaur). This will likely turn the attraction from a capacity machine into a hobbled horse.

ETA: February pricing since it is $10 lower than January

Interestingly MW and SW are from $99, but WnW is from $109. But MW and SW pricing goes up to $139, while WnW is up to $124. WnW always used to have lowest pricing, but now they’ve made it the most expensive (during off peak periods). This is probably to compensate for the park not getting the crowds it needs during Winter.

At least the tiered day ticket pricing goes some ways towards compensating folk who visit in the off season and find half the park is closed. Interestingly, buying a ticket same day is $10 more than buying it in advance as today's price is $109 and the rest of the month is only $99. From December 1 the $109 becomes the cheapest rate, jumping to $119 from the 13th of December (charging more once school breaks seems to indicate that the park would be busier once kids are out of school, eh @New display name?) The following week it jumps again to $129 on the 20th of December, and then $139 from Boxing day. It stays at $139 through most of January, dropping to $129 for the final week of holidays (19th to Australia day) and then back to $119 from the day school goes back. Interestingly - the price doesn't go back to $99 - it stays at $109 from that point on until the end of published pricing on March 31st. We will have to wait an see what they do with Easter pricing when that gets released. Honestly the tiered pricing might have helped alleviate the crowd pressures over the peak seasons (especially if they blocked out some AP tiers during the busiest times) making it worth the while for those who stump up the extra cash, but given the price of a 5 day multipark pass is only $169 - nobody is buying the day pass and this entire exercise is a complete waste of time.

The One Pass branding is no more, one day tickets for MW/SW/WNW are now date specific and go as high as $139 for peak dates. One Pass/Locals One Pass > Premium Annual Pass One Pass Lite/Annual Adventure Pass > Saver Annual Pass Prices have stayed the same as the previous Locals pricing but now are available to everyone. 5-14 day holiday tickets remain the same but losing the previous Escape/Super/Mega Pass naming. Following conditions apply for the new dated single day tickets ”Guests may change their visit date up to five (5) times within the same pricing tier for free, subject to availability. Date changes can be made via the “Change Date” link in the email receipt, via the online account portal, or by contacting our call centre at 13 33 86. Changes must be made before 9:00 AM on the date of your visit. If the new date falls into a higher-priced tier, additional charges will apply”. There’s a new “one day all parks” ticket at $149 that doesn’t require date selection. Thoughts are these changes make sense, the one day pricing increase and removal of the locals requirement is clearly designed to push people even further towards holiday/annual ticketing and discourage visiting Coomera.

It wouldn’t surprise me if we see technical rehearsals begin within the next week (maybe even this weekend) and the ride officially opening the first week of December.

Quite a funny little jab at MovieWorld within the King Claw theming, a ferry departure sign stating Village Road is closed for maintenance. 😂 seen it on Themepark Ogres video, also technical rehearsal signs are within the ride envelope. We could be riding very soon

King Claw will feature metal detectors as guest board the ride to ensure no one has any loose items in their pockets. There is a storage carousel for all loose articles, which rotates to keep the flow of loading and unloading as efficient as possible.

I'm not sure - but given it has individual harnesses, each one would need to be checked, wouldn't it?

Spy Chase Stunt Show 1 looks too intense for me.

Spy Chase Stunt Show is an RCT-worthy title. But it looks like an improvement, hopefully enough burning rubber is retained to entertain the bogans.

Did Road Runner increase throughput when its trains were replaced?

The use of the wilhelm is also bonus points, for mine.

It's impossible to be worst than HSD2 and MW bringing back Mad Mike has raised my expectations for the show.

a different name would’ve been better, but the show overall already looks a lot better than HSD2. let’s hope they don’t disappoint.

Nice to see that short promo video already having more stunts then HWSD2 had by the end of it's life.

Are MW & SW having a competition on who can come up with the dumbest name?

Reckon they could have thought up a more inventive name, but as long as the show is good…

Like Marsican?

Due to guest feedback, this attraction will be operating in at half capacity shit wrong A-frame. Due to guest feedback, we have replaced this attraction with shaded seating bingo!

I want one robot Dolphin.

One. There will be One Dolphin.

I saw it about a week before ending, there seemed to be more than usual - maybe 8 or 9 dolphins there. Hard to believe this is actual approved copy.
