July 25 Visit Trip Report Went to MW this morning for my first more extensive visit where I went on a couple rides (because that’s all that was open) With it being a very rainy day, the park was almost empty. The longest queue was for DC Rivals at 10 minutes. Scooby and JL was a walk on. If a normal amount of rides were open, every ride would have probably been a walk on the whole day. The amount of staff they have on for each attraction and at the entry to stores is great. They are really making sure there aren’t too many people in a store. The trains/seats were being wiped down after every ride. For Scooby, they were wiping them at the exit and again before any boarded. Here’s a look at how the queue area currently is The ride itself hasn’t changed that much since last year, things still not working, timing really off. The disco room is still great, but that’s about it. Access to AA is still open down the alleyway, but it’s a dead end because SE is closed So in total today, there were 9 rides open. That means that SW almost has more rides operating

Took a photo of the unpainted track today

Halloween Horror Nights at both parks in the US has been cancelled. And Disney’s Halloween event has now also been cancelled for both coasts

Since they reopened, he is no longer joining the JL

These products seem generally bland and uninspired. The Giga Splash seems like a modern take on the old Perilous Plunge concept Intamin did in the past, the Ultra Splash is basically identical to a Mack powersplash and the Hot Racer seems like their take on West Coast Racer. I like the idea of a powersplash at DW personally but a family water ride definitely needs to come first. I personally don’t mind the idea of a Joker themed RMC or one of the new Vekoma inverts that have the new gen track. A large coaster that has inversions is the gap in the park’s lineup when you take out AA. Not to mention you’d have a pretty stellar top 3 not just in Australia but in the entire world. I would have preferred something like Steel Curtain at MW but the likelihood Village deals with S&S again is slim to none.

The giga-splash is a cool concept, especially the ride vehicle and vertical lift. i think the height makes it the wrong option for DW, they need a family friendly water ride. The hot racer duelling Coaster, especially the multi-launch variety would make a good ride at MW teamed to flash/reverse flash with a red and a yellow train duelling at speed around the track

In other news, Cyborg has joined the Justice League

Here’s what it would look like @Jdude95 and I know this isn’t photoshop but it’s the best I can do on mobile

I see GL maintenance period has been extended again. I wonder if it’s for actual maintenance or COVID related? if it’s not opening till nov that will mean that it has only operated 2 months in the last year.
