Few shots from today

Best quote ever! Will need to do something great to make it a non-corporate hotel, totally agree that it will work great for events, but to capture guests who actually want to visit a theme park it will need to provide something more. Unfortunately I am hoping 'Hotel V' is just the trading name and the actual hotel will be named something else as for me it drums up images of the TV series 'V' This is also true, on my recent visit I was always confused as some staff say welcome to Village Roadshow Theme Parks when you call them but you're standing at Movie World. Would have thought that the Movie World branding was strong enough to not be pushed aside by Village Roadshow stuff. It's like I stayed at the Sheraton which is owned by Marriott, but all the branding, towels, badges and everything say Sheraton, not the corporation that owns them. I think this is really a very big missed opportunity for them as children don't ask to go to Village Roadshow Theme Parks, they say I want to go to Movie World. But everywhere a child looks at Movie World it says Village Roadshow Theme Parks. I have also noticed people on here call the logo a 'rake', wonder how long until they put a rake on the entrance archway to movie world haha

That Ray guy is pretty great

If they were smart, they should use this as a chance to free up space in movieworld and move all (or a lot of) the admin related functions village have based at movieworld into the hotel build. Anything that specifically doesn't need to be in the park or require immediate access could be moved and remaining functions condensed into existing buildings or a new facility built.

Yes TOT was LSM but with 1995 tech not 2021 tech. ...... Looks like the same train shells as Helix and Icon are being used

Hey guys so loopy lighthouse has now got it’s hat, Silly Sub is being installed possibly today and word from the rides manager is that Big Dipper arrived in Australia yesterday, That’s all for now but I’ll be back about 3pm if anything happens

Loop has been completed, credit to ozthrills on Instagram who is onsite taking footage today.

Haha - as soon as I saw this post I wondered if i'd be able to see it. At the very back right corner you can just make out the multi-layered tiers of the old christmas tree that used to sit on top of the arch at christmas time. I bought the whole thing for $50.

Thing is I’ve always had a belief that the idea of a theme park is to escape everyday life. By that reasoning I don’t want to see shows I can see at any random event, regional show, etc etc. And the FMX offerings of “give it up for”, loud revs, all motor based stunts/tricks really are the same thing you see everywhere. No matter what the wrapping. Great shows written by talented people are definitely what’s called for as mentioned above. But they also have to be curated by seasoned park management to ensure what is delivered is sustainable long term. As someone said this has been proven possible time and time again at their Outback and Paradise Country shows so roll this out further.

Because who doesn't love a good photo of a rake?
