Here come the gondolas

cue update from TPSN in about 12 hours time spruiking their 'exclusive first look at the carriages' Side note of no relevance - for this style of ride, I prefer 'Gondola' to 'Carriage'

This is a new "CATERING SHED" Application Number: BLD201606818 Description: CATERING SHED Code: BUILDING Class: RETAIL/DINING/SERVICES Work: CONSTRUCT Lodged: 24/05/2016

I know it's been brought up previously, but the extended downtime coming up for SE & WWF is pretty much confirmation to me of what MW employee said about them getting major refurbishments soon. I mean geez, they are both down for 2 months... in WWF case even longer, and throughout the duration of the June school holidays at that http://movieworld.com.au/plan-your-day/attraction-maintenance.aspx Definitely sounds like a lick of paint is on the way for both, along with lots of extra attention hopefully

Themeparks all in one posted this, looks like carriages will be going up either tomorrow or Friday

I prefer "sit-bits"

The Parkz Update: Doomsday Destroyer ride construction at Movie World, May 2016 Warner Bros. Movie World continues to move forward with its construction of Doomsday Destroyer and the surrounding Super Villains Unleashed precinct, while Superman Escape looks set to receive its first track repainting since the ride opened more than a decade ago.

Yes I'm aware of this @dmh, although they didn't sell it. They pulled it apart years ago to use as replacement parts on the current train. But if you read back a few pages in the Doomsday Destroyer topic, there's been speculation and ongoing discussion about them maybe building a second train. That's what my comment was in regards to

So I had a chat with a friendly staff member today, started off just asked about what's happening to the Arkham roof and it all rolled from there. Anyway, in a nutshell... - lots of freshening up going to be happening around the park over coming months. They are fixing up the Arkham roof because it has sun fade. Superman Escape is having its track repainted red for the same reason soon, wild west falls (as we already know) is also getting a big refurbish. - The person I spoke to mentioned special headsets being introduced as an option soon, I asked if it was the VR ones that they have recently brought out at American parks, she said "that's them". Don't know at this stage if it will be just to Wild West Falls or other rides too (since we were talking about WWF's refurb at the time) but either way they are apparently planned for the park. - She also mentioned the "mega" Coaster coming soon, although she said that staff knowledge about it is very slim, as it's very hush hush atm. Either way, she emphasised on Movieworld working on freshening up the park and making it look awesome again ???

The ride may be dead silent, but it's not the machine noise that has upset the residents in the past - it was the screams from the riders. The difference with the residents now is that there is established case law on the site. Future litigation is likely to fall in favour of the park.
