Their website lists projects from both Universal and Disney (Waterworld + Lion King) so I have hope in them, from the sounds of things it should be better than what Showtime FMX have done as they're more specified toward theme park specific shows rather than just stunt shows. Just hope Village give them a large enough budget rather than cheapening out (which, unfortunately, would be expected nowdays). Please please please be a Mad Max show, not "Hollywood Stunt Driver 3" although from the description it sounds like that might be the case. At least there is a varied amount of stunts it seems (it mentions multiple things such as highfalls and motorbike riding ) rather than just cars drifting around the whole show and nothing else.

I don’t live on the coast but I can tell you right now that people living in Coomera are nowhere near the same level of entitled NIMBY as people in lavender bay so the Luna park comparison is silly. Who is living in a multimillion dollar apartment in an inland suburb on the Gold Coast?

I don't mind it if everyone in the audience takes part but I find individual audience participation only entertaining for the participant and the family/friends of the participant.

That’s what they’re telling us …. They’ve bullshitted before in the past.

I personally wouldn't mind a "Hollywood Stunt Driver 3" if they don't cheap out on it and do stunts as good if not better then HSD1, Include better audience participation that's more than a 5 second video at the end of the show and if they can really change up that script to be less corny, actually write some decent jokes and slapstick and make the story mildly engaging at a minium.

6 have been built (plus Powder Keg), Only Ring Racer in Germany is the only one pulled down, but it only operated for 4 days and was closed because it was not economically viable (built at an F1 race track, not a theme park). Maxx Force is reliable - usually down because of train/sensor/block issues not launch system issues. The 4 in China are currently SNBO because Bullet Coaster had a roll-back on the top hat and collided with another train in the station. All of the air-coasters at Happy Valley parks stopped operating in China the same day. Powder Keg is an air-launch retrofit of a Premier Rides Water Coaster, and it's extremely reliable. I wouldn't buy a coaster from S&S, but the air-launch system is just a horizontal launch tower, which are generally one of the more reliable rides available. If the goal is to keep the existing Intamin ride (and trains) and just change the launch, then S&S would absolutely be an option. Building the compressed air launch systems are the one thing they do really well.

@Baconjack the existing Gold Coast Kart Club closed in Coomera because the NEW residents didn't like the noise.

Well I guess we know where the canceled light rail funding is going.....

@Tricoartthe things you talk about are the toppings on the cake. The cake has gone bad.

"After conducting guest feedback, we have determined that guests prefer Superman to be closed rather than open"

I very much doubt that Movie World would work with S+S again given all the issues they have had with Green Lantern over the years, and some of the issues originally with Batwing. I really hope they can keep Superman running in its current state, but I give it 5 years or so until they really should start looking at a replacement. As much as I'd like to see a LSM conversion when this time comes, I kind of think after 25 years something new would also (hopefully) be as good or iconic as Superman. That ride IMO really put Movie World on the map.

Well I mean as recently as six years ago Dreamworld was a dump, losing shitloads of money and could have easily been sold off and pulled down for housing. Needless to say they’ve come a long way since 2016 we all knew it would take a long time for Dreamworld to win back the trust of the public, even nine years later it’s still not fully there. Take the little wins i am happy there are still 4 parks on the coast.
