After spending the whole day at the park here are some things i noticed the park does well and what they do bad.
good:
- wide variety of food options with current outlets and new temporary outlets such as boost juice and donutime (even if they looked very out of place)
- good guest interaction from charecters
- wild wests boats and road runners trains are an improvement and it was nice seeing something to do with these ride getting some love
- Batman exhibit is a cool and interesting experience, however one of the weaker ones out of the showcases.
- Green Lantern was getting trains out faster then normal and the chain was completely stopping when there wasn’t a train on the lift, made it a lot more quiet.
However, that’s all that really stood out in terms of the good things the park were doing.
bad:
- the operations were horrendous (excluding green lantern, scooby doo.) Batwing around 3-4mins, Rivals 5-7mins. WWF was ranging from 1-4mins.
- very noticeable roughness on Rivals with the backs of the seats being somewhat exposed from the front which didn’t look great (could possibly always be there but this was the first time i noticed.)
- 50-60% of the effects not working on JL, Scooby and WWF and barely any to none working in the villains unleashed area
- areas such as the Kids area need new audio as it is nearly dead silent besides the noise of the rides and people (also an update is definitely needed.)
- food was highly priced for bad quality
- a lot of the park was pretty dirty and needed some TLC.
- the Scoob 4D experience was not much better then yogi bear, with them just snipping scenes out of the movie, putting them together and creating a story that doesent make a lot of sense at all.
- Arkham and it’s old tower facade are a bad eye sore and need to be replaced urgently, especially when 3 of the major rides were closed most of the day (scooby opening around 1.)
- staff being miserable and rude, obviously not wanting to be there with some making comments about how sucky the job is to customers.
overall it is obvious that the park is in decline, with it now being the third best on the coast (Dreamworld 1st, Sea World 2nd.) will make another visit in the coming weeks to see if there is any improvements. Hope this helps for anyone wanting to plan a trip or not being able to visit and wanting to know more info on what’s going on within the park.
