I'd like to see this for Movie World's western area. Not sure if there's room though or issues with noise

Agreed. Once they work out each breakdown and how long it can take to fix they'll tell you whether you can just sit in the car and wait or if you have to be evacuated. If the restraints won't open at the station and you're in them they'd have to have some sort of manual release system at the station so you can get out.

The way that place is going I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear the announcement of a new 8-10 million coaster in the next 5 years

I think a re-theme of Lethal Weapon is MUCH NEEDED (due to its current state) and a DC theme does make sense. However once they have finished concentrating on this area at the front of the park, they really need to start looking at the rest of the park. Otherwise soon there will be little reason to leave the front area. It'd be great to see an expansion elsewhere such as a wooden coaster for the wild west

Considering the recent additions over the years and if this is rethemed DC as well, how long until the announcement they are renaming the park DC Comics World?

So has anyone seen the Show/Parade yet? I say that as it's more of a show about a parade rather than your traditional parade, which is fine by me... I went to the opening yesterday and was blown away impressed! This is not tow some trailers behind a buggy kind of float fiesta. These floats are easily up there with anything you'd expect from a Disney Park. Completely themed, hidden drivers and mechanisms, on board animatronics, lights, video, etc. The show has a massive cast and some cool water fountains used to great effect. It's also really great to see some good boat action back out on the lake. The park also appears to have updated the audio system in the stadium which is great too. I would say apart from the Outback Spectacular (which really is in a category of it's own) this is definitely the biggest and most involved show of any of the properties now and is definitely worth checking out. Should be a real hit for Sea World!

The line is really long so it should move quickly even if it's a long wait... As for all these questions of "when will it be open" etc... I know the concept of soft opening is somewhat new to aussie parks but what it means is there is a chance at any time the ride will open to guests, and at any time it may close, and without warning. You may get stuck on the ride, or be about to board, and then be sent away. A soft opening is used to get the bugs out of the ride system (of course nothing safety related) and the operations staff themselves so that when the ride officially opens and the park gets slammed the ride and staff are 100%. If you want to head to the park on the chance it will open, do so, but you might wait all day and never get on, and you can't complain about that, it's a bit like beta software. The park can't update on FB when it will open and close because they might not even know until just as it happens, so many variables. As for the ride, I've had a chance to ride and I think its friken amazing. Not "better than superman" as that is what everyone asks, rather it's a completely different style of ride and whilst doesn't have the speed has heaps to offer in it's own right in my opinion. I don't think it will have as big of a mark on the world scale as Superman, just simply because Superman is the best themed excelerator out there with one of the punchiest launches and the coaster world loves accelerators. Green Lantern is certainly a kick ass coaster though, has had some awesome extra touches added to it by Movieworld (IMO the 4 accross cars and lapbars make the ride) and when I enter the station I even get the 'feel' of a big brother coaster from overseas. In terms of the winner for the Gold Coast this year it's definately going to be GL over the competitions offering.
