  1. See I disagree here - Journey's queue rails fit precisely into the theme. the whole queue area is a mass of pipes and fittings. And the queue rails you show here match that aesthetic perfectly - the joints in the pipe are also treated so they present in a different colour, akin to how copper piping used to be brazed with zinc for plumbing. Disney customises their queue rails for each and every attraction. It's not about it being metal, it's about how it suits the location. Here's a few other examples from DisneySea Toy story with it's bright primary colours Indiana Jones queue with bamboo scaffolding poles Tower of Terror with it's regal chains to suit the air of a premium Hotel Hightower Tinkerbell's buggies with their giant sewing needles, clothes pegs and safety pins, and "cotton thread" The suggestion for rope was derived from the queueline further down that already utilises this technique, thereby tying the two (no pun intended) together. Don't get me wrong I would have preferred they got PICO back in to add further 'bamboo look' rails like the ones they already have, but if this is what they're going with - the rope would tie it all together.

  2. Just came across this, meaning the new dining outlet is more than likely going to be called 'Stars Terrace'

  3. Movie World just shared a Little Sneak Peek from Inside regarding The Theming for the Dark Ride Portion. AQMZ1iXgrrPTYGWIuQhIzyNt6Ad98wBY5Thy_-p0FEYq8sS_LmurtDmSXD2Srzfbe4p1jPxvp2qV-AWMFpAgaMHOJuKuZ0R9zZm-xe8.mp4

  4. Agree Brad - after all the care taken to craft 'bamboo' poles this just feels out of place. Perhaps they could wrap the corners in a hemp rope to soften the look, or paint the poles a mottled pattern to blend into the temple more?

  5. Care of DW Golden Years FB. queue rails have been installed in JR to separate the single rider/ride express queue from the general standby queue. whilst it’s good to have these separated (asking to push through/pass people when you had an express pass wasnt exactly great and usually copped you some scorned looks like you were queue jumping), because they are obviously a post-design change, they look pretty horrible to me and wreck what was theme wise a fantastic queue. maybe a more neutral colour or something more akin to the walls would have worked better than what they went with

  6. Oh, sorry - i'll speak slower for you. Too many people in the park, not enough rides operating, not enough rides operating at full capacity, not enough staff to operate the rides effectively, poor operations practices that negatively impact throughput, lack of care and attention to non critical maintenance such as theming, continued removal of guest accessible areas and attractions only to take that space over by more and more back of house areas. And all this despite jacking up their prices and removing perks from loyal long-time premium passholders. The company has shown utter contempt for guests. At one point their online reviews tanked so hard they disabled the ones they had control over. They responded to guest complaints about their poor experience by telling them they should have checked the website before visiting on a day where the park was offering half their usual experience while still charging full price. They have ridden for a long time on the coat tails of their former reputation - and despite tanking it, people are still clamouring to hand over their money. I've been saying this for literally years - if people want them to change, they need to vote with their wallets. My point is - the Malibu Stacey effect is too strong. I am interested to see the reviews of the new Scoob - but I won't be rushing out to buy a pass or visit. As Skeet mentioned, if the stunt show proves to be more akin to the MW of old, it might tip the scales to encourage me to return and see what else they've improved. I think the park can be worth the price they're asking (and probably more) but they have to run it putting the guest experience first.

  7. I don't care about overlays, or law changes - I care about the fact that people will scream about the loss of koala habitat while living in a home that only exists because their builder demolished koala habitat. A development proposal like this preserves a lot more trees than Metricon, or Westfield.

  8. Sounds like a storm in a teacup. Koala habitats are developed all the time. I've no doubt half the land making up Coomera today including both the westfield \ costco \ hospital development as well as the myriad of housing estates had koala risk also. By the sounds of the article they have considered the habitat risk and provided remediation \ controls for it. Whether that's enough is up to the powers that be to decide. It sounds to me like some councillors \ NIMBYs didn't like that the application was taken out of council hands and into state gov hands, and someone has pointed out to GCB the size of the koala habitat being taken by the development. I'm confident that the NIMBYs opposed to the application probably live in a local area that was itself a koala habitat until they built their home on it. #hypocrite

  9. The park teases a ride opening people have waited three years for and suddenly everyone forgets the sorry state of the park overall and is all shut up and take my money again. This is why Village has so much contempt for guests and has zero care for the guest experience.

  10. This certainly sounds like a step up from "burnouts: the show"
