Visited WWW yesterday for the first time since 2010! Wow where has the time gone? I think it was definitely a wise choice to focus on DW first, it was in a much worse state and WWW although its not perfect its still ‘good enough’ to put on the back burner while they focused on the main park. The Green Room is still the superior slide imo and I enjoy it more than Tornado at WnW. The rip really struggles to keep a moving line and you get the feeling it really needs triple vortex firing to keep it from being blown out. Temple of Huey tower is still great with something for everyone. The bro is still awesome, and being a bit heavier I get some serious speed on him, always fun. Fully 6 was a little disappointing, if only the tubes were a little faster. 2 and 3 look fun, and it leaves a sour taste knowing they will probably never reopen. Another chill people mover like a family tube ride like mammoth falls and a lazy river would be the first investments I would be looking at for new attractions. They really need to remove Wedgie, being a slide that aesthetically trumps everything thats open and is permanently closed is just a bit of a let down. A bar closer to cave of waves would be a really good move, bit more like the WnW set up. A facelift on cave of waves to improve theming would also be awesome. Looks cheap and dated up close. Finally returning the back gate near gold coaster for easy park hop would be awesome. Considering their main marketing for WWW is two worlds in one day it makes little sense to make guests exit DW to enter WWW. This would be great if they ever decide to return ocean parade to its former glory and have a nice transition from that into WWW.

Hi, clickbait YouTuber in question here. I don't normally respond to much on this forum, as I find it gets a little heated a lot of the time - as you correctly pointed out, I prefer to block that sort of thing out and allow commenters to enjoy their own echo chamber, since my channel is a hobby and I do it for happiness and a creative outlet, and I often find people tend to go for the jugular which leaves me feeling defeated and demotivated. I'm a roller coaster channel, not a platform for free speech, and I'm not obligated to give anyone's insults, or even rudely-phrased criticisms, any oxygen. But you've successfully baited me with this statement. I thank everyone for their feedback on my content. I genuinely enjoy taking on board feedback from those who do like my videos and those who don't. I appreciate that there are plenty of people who will disagree very strongly with my opinions on the current state of Movie World, or the way I approach video essays, or the way I run my channel in general. I've enjoyed reading your own takes on Movie World's current situation, and I actually agree with some of you. You've made some interesting points. I see no ill-intent in any of your feedback, and while I stand by my statements and my approach towards criticizing Movie World after my latest visit, I respect you all for voicing your own thoughts on it. I'm not sure when my next Movie World-related video will be, but I have genuine hopes that it will be a more positive one, and I hope some of you may even give the channel a second chance and enjoy it This statement right here, though, is why some commenters in particular are removed from my comments sections. This is not the first time that particular people have crossed the line from criticizing my content into drawing my personal issues into it and insulting me, and failing to see how there's a difference. Yes, I came home from my initial attempt at Coaster Odyssey due to health issues. I have a chronic illness. I spoke candidly on my channel about how it left me in hospital on the other side of the world, which was a terrifying experience, and also led me down a very dark path in terms of my mental health. I openly discussed how I spiraled into a depression badly during that time. I worked my backside off in casual jobs to save to start that journey, and I was still working casual jobs overseas to keep the journey a reality. Even putting YouTube aside, it was a dream of mine for a long time to travel and work long-term, and to pursue theme parks around the world. It hurt to have to come to the decision that I needed to go home so soon. And I've since been working my butt off yet again to make sure I'm recovering, getting the medical help I need, and will be continuing the series in July. I appreciate and respect that you have your objections to my content, and that's fine. But belittling my health issues and mockingly saying that I had my "tail between my legs" during what was objectively one of the most rattling, scary, painful and gut-wrenching experiences of my life is a stretch too far. Again, I was in a hospital, on the other side of the world from everyone I know and love, in a significant amount of pain, unsure what my insurance would cover and if I could even afford the healthcare, let alone the flight home that I eventually painfully realized I needed to book. And once I did get those airfares paid, I spent every night lying awake, still in pain, feeling like everything I'd worked so hard for over the past 2 years had gone up in smoke. I am so, so lucky that I have a wonderful support network because frankly, that trip was my reason to get out of bed a lot of days. So thanks for your input Jobe, but kindly leave my health issues out of your criticisms, please and thank you. We all have our struggles to cope with and I'd appreciate it if you could have the decency to separate your critiques of the content I create as a hobby from direct attacks on my health and suggestions that I'm cowardly for being forced to make decisions for my own health. Cheers mate.
