HWSD2 has to be close to end of live, not that it ever had any life in it.

New character photo appearance confirmed

Thankyou kind sir for doing the hard work. I've done the easy bit and shared the article in this thread So the 'new attraction' being teased by the headline is the 'zoom zone' replacement slides for Aqualoop. I will admit i'd forgotten about the hotel (and honestly thought they had too). they've hinted at a 'new entertainment offering' at MW, but let's be honest that could just be the next themed parade, or the upcoming fright nights offerings.

Maybe MW will turn the smoke on for a few weeks.

It's a sponsored series of Gold Coast promotions (future gold coast) On the radio today, they were talking about Scooby having a new massive surprise within the ride, that nobody will expect.

Honestly we need a drunk discussion thread anyway

Based on the comments section of the post on socials, they don’t actually reveal anything new and the article is purely clickbait.

DD replacement.

If you're staying in a Universal hotel, they'll tell you the actual planned park opening time the day prior - and yes it's always at least an hour before advertised.

The park typically opens an hour before it’s advertised opening, so be sure to get there at least 1.5 hours before the opening time. Thats definitely the best order to do those three rides in, and then if you have time do Minions. If you don’t, you’re not missing out on much, but it’s definitely worth walking through the land because it has been executed really well.

The Gold Coast Bulletin has shared an article that refers to the reopening of Scooby-Doo and is apparently preparing to unveil a new ride: https://bit.ly/4nPiylM

Wonder what the new ride is?

Since we're talking about 360 degree flat rides, i'll take 90's Dreamworld 'Enterprise' over most modern flat rides these days...

We don't have express pass for that, the only ones we don't have express for (outside Universal Wonderland) is Space Fantasy, Hollywood Dream, JAWS and the three Minion Land rides. I'll be prioritising the three non-minion ones so I'll only do them if we have time. We'll have around 6 hours before our Harry Potter passes (as the park opens at 8:30am) and around 90 minutes between our Harry Potter and SNW timed entries so I think we could fit them in depending on if we do the others beforehand. We're currently planning on getting there a bit before opening and doing Hollywood Dream, Space Fantasy and JAWS whilst the crowds are in SNW/Harry Potter.

Honestly, even with express for the major attraction, you probably won’t even have time to go this ago. I haven’t experienced the one in Orlando, but if it was me I would skip it and use your time more wisely for other attractions that get the longer queues that aren’t on your pass. Also, if you have Jaws on your pass as an option, don’t waste it. The wait time for Jaws generally isn’t that long, or go as single riders (your chance of being able to ride with your friend/partner is high on this one).

Yea spot on mate. Lols don't reply to the forums if you are heavily under the influence 😂🤣🍻

Interesting to see they've added this, a bit sudden but I guess it's cheap and something with decent capacity to help disperse the crowds somewhat. Wondering if I should skip it, from what I hear from the reviews in Orlando it isn't great and this seems like just a clone of that. At least it doesn't seem like something that will have a long wait given you just stand on a moving walkway rather than boarding/unboarding onto vehicles. We do have until 2:20pm for our first express pass (Forbidden Journey) so we could get this out of the way as a one-and-done.

I hope you're not talking about Bounty's Revenge for airtime float @DaptoFunlandGuybecause you can get more airtime float, jumping on the spot. 🤣

Doomsday Destroyer is the perfect example of a 360 swinging attraction that sucked (partly because it wasn’t unpowered)

Uhhh... I think he said that he leaves the Luna Park pendulum ride until the end of the day because once he's ridden it, he can't ride anything else. I mean, i think you guys are missing the distinction between powered 360 pendulum rides and unpowered swing rides like the looping starship, where the drive system is only at the bottom of the swing. I'm not advocating for an SX360 or Sledgehammer experience. I'm just saying there are SOME 360 attractions (most of which you guys are probably too young to have ridden) that DO deliver airtime float. I'm not saying King Claw isn't going to be as good, or better than that - i'm just saying not every 360 pendulum style attraction sucks.

They're the intamin over the shoulder lap bars, the exact same ones you find on Big Dipper and Goliath if you've been on either of those rides
