where did we even hear they were getting a new arcade? was there permits, filings or is it just a rumour. with the first aid building going to me it’s more likely a new ride will go there, maybe a small kids coaster.

Probably need a location more central in the park for that kind of thing, I dunno. Close enough to west and scooby, close enough to Main Street, close enough to Dc. Also the ambo point is valid too the building is right next to a service road. Real question is why does there need to be an arcade in a theme park? This isn’t sega world, and if people want to do that they’d go to Timezone. I never saw anyone in the old arcade ever so why bother making alterations to a building for a new one? Make it a walk through or a proper attraction of some degree, it a complete waste of space that movie world does not have in spades -

What are you going on about? The only thing related to a toilet is the 💩 you just said. -
it is a bigger space but it is just using one side, i dont see them moving mazes out of there they just wont be as long as IT was.

Two entirely different types of experiences. Both true quality in their own respective ways.

Photos from today: Framework has begun going up for the building that’ll enclose roughly half of Jungle Rush’s layout. Look into the (gutted) inside of Billabong: And, the supports: I don’t know what the status of the turntable at Vekoma’s workshop is, but there are visible tags on the shipment that read ‘Platform Supports’, and that tied with the catwalks, and shape of some support columns, has me guessing these are for it.

Seems like they do really want to have it open one last time before Murrisippi Motors opens. With how slow insurers are though I don't think it will happen

Seats are on.

I agree with this fully. The main issue with the way the parks does it now is that it almost never opens in time for when it was marketed for and then throw in the issues and kinks every new ride has makes it a bad look for guest to see it closed during peak times when the extra capacity is needed. Lethithan is a perfect example of this the delays and the constant down time of construction killed the buzz and hype of its opening. Ultimately when it did open it was having constant issues with extended periods of downtime and the media had a frenzy talking about the disappointment of people flying from other parts of the country to ride it for it to be closed. Try telling this to BGH @wikiverse

Its using a lot more than just the corner of the building. Its got an internal ambulance bay, additional bed capacity, new and expanded facilities, business services for team member use such as rehabilitation etc. Its quite an expansive growth and is needed. -
Its unlikely to open by the 26th. Your looking at possibly early May, the attraction hasn't been handed to Operations yet which will involve quite a bit of training and commissioning to establish an opening roster.
-
Operating costs aren't that important if you're attracting enough guests, which you won't do if you keep rides closed.
-
DCeased only took up half the building, the first aid office is just using a corner of the building. I won’t be suprised if the reasoning is cause it’s easier to get ambulances in and out if needed.
-
Yes, quite confusing. Why do they have to spend money switching it around and extending buildings out when they can just use the space like it was before and save costs?

So, if I’m getting this correct from what you’ve posted in both threads, they’re moving the First Aid building into the old arcade building (thus reducing the space available in said building), so that they can then incorporate the old First Aid building into an arcade building? What kind of backwards thinking is going on here? -
It was the last shop before you entered Kids WB (across from the kids store) and the one that connected to the hut. I am guessing this happened: MW expected to build the arcade and demolished the Looney Gardens, but they must of did measurements and there was not enough space to fit it in, so they needed to relocate the First Aid for it to fit. But DCeased was likely already being built, so they had to wait for Fright Nights to finish before starting work. They waited until after Christmas and Dirty Harrys refurb was done, then started work on the Intencity building. First Aid would need to be open while construction is done: so they had to wait to close it until the new first aid area opened, and now that it is, they can begin construction on the arcade.

That's a lot of land space for first aid, i doubt they need all of it. Though I guess its still up in the air what they do with showstage so who knows? - Yesterday

Looks like the DCeased maze (if it returns) will be moved into the Showstage as First Aid is now using the Intencity building
-
The First Aid Centre has been moved to Intencity at the back of the park, and apparently the former First Aid building will be extended for the Arcade

In all honesty, I don't know why parks target openings to occur bang on peak periods. There are inevitably teething issues and the ride's reputation is made or broken in that first peak rush. Open it in the off season, give your operators time to bed down the processes without a 3 hour queue of angry families behind them, and iron out the kinks. Advertise the hell out of it and get soundbytes and reviews from real actual guests, rather than stupid rhetoric from the C Suite for your marketing - anyone planning a last minute trip for the next holidays might see that and decide to go as a result. -
