  3. Three Huge Updates Three Months Late

    in Theme Park Discussion

    Posted

    !st thanks guys for the kind comments. :)

    (3) Lighting looks cool but it seems like it'd be a pretty boring show. Was it?
    Are you talking about Bill and Ted or Cut! lagoon show?
    Hey, what was with all those ride rip offs such as Spaceship Birth and Honey i drunk a 5th? I found them pretty funny, were there any more?
    The basic storyline of the show is Lex Luthor, with the help of his Krypton iPod, plans to use Universal’s new cinespheres "you know those big balls floating on the lagoon" to blow up Universal and create his own theme park–Luthorversal. with his own rides

  7. What is with Batwing's Themeing? - You decide

    in Theme Park Discussion

    But Maliboomer is at DCA not Disneyland, they are seperate parks. Its a bit like trying to compare what is done at SW with MW. Everybody knows that the paradise peir area of DCA is below what disney normally does so thats why that ride is fairly light with its theming. Also, maliboomer doesnt push itself as a themed attraction, but this one seems to.
    (1) DCA is still Disney dont even go there with stupid comprassions like that seeing Grizzly River, Monster Inc, Muppets, Tower of Terror, Fliks Fun Fair all have awesome theming. And after Paradise Peir gets its big update which is a huge sum of money the whole place will look awesome and BTW nothing theming wise will be added to maliboomer in the upgrade Because it doesnt need it, its a tower ride not a dark ride.
    Look Rabid, i know you are a big supporter of what MW does, and i am too, but i feel they havent done well enough this time.
    (1)Im actually a big support of Walt Disney and have been for over 20years now, Problem is everybody here who complains about theming needs to realise until the park can get around the 20,000 mark daily we simply cant put lots of money into each ride Disney rides normally cost 5 times the amount of any normal park chain out there. So you can have one ride every 5 years or 1 ride or attraction every year. you do the math.
    Also, why does everyone keep saying that just because its a space shot it is too simple to theme, when there are rides like Dr Dooms Fear fall, Space probe,
    To be honest I didnt think Dr Dooms theming was that great compared to other rides at IOA, and as I was told last November 05 the Space Shot launch will be outside so we can see peoples faces on launch.
    I am very happy about the space shot as a ride, im coming up in March to ride it. But please, dont tell me what to think.
    Im glad you are coming to ride it, but please do not accuse me of telling you what to think, because I cant remember telling you what to think. I work my butt off on my website and I know Rich does over here and sometimes i feel like chucking the whole site in because its not worth it when you keeping getting people who just worry about little details, or the abuse throw at you plus we have social lifes outside of this too. So just understand when I give you or anyone on here a opinon Im just saying what i think the most logical answer is, as someone who has worked in the industry worldwide and been a fan since he was the 7 (im nearly 30 ;) ) So summing up Batwing didnt get over the top theming as we dont have the money attandance wise to be wasting it on a small attraction because the park will put alot of money into there next big project at the back of the park next year THE END

  8. What is with Batwing's Themeing? - You decide

    I voted yes, but it was by mistake (hence the edit). The theming on this ride should've been as good, if not better, than The Claw. Movie World has fallen short. It's a shame that they think an old recycled Batman vehicle counts as theming. A little more money could've gone a long way.
    Im sorry guys but you all need to stress less about theming on simple rides like drop towers Just look at Maliboomer at DCA the theming is no where like Splash Mountain and thats Disney so Batwing fine with its current theming when you compare it to Scooby Doo ect. Also IMO the Batboat and Batmobile are very cool as they were sent from Warner Bros. after the movies were made in the 90s. The only thing I would have changed is a stage below the batboat and batmobile so they could be elevated more. So guys be happy that there is a new ride on the Coast and stop comparing it to non drop rides.

  10. Batwing opens TOMORROW

    in Theme Park Discussion

    Posted · Edited by rabid disney

    Im a fan of long rides like Splash Mountain, but will say Batwing was a blast I love how it counts down the Launch over the parks speakers, makes you even more nervous at take off time. The bouncing was great and being above the Superman Top Hat looked awesome. BTW for the Media launch Batman Absailed down the tower very cool. Anyway ride is now open to public so get out there and ride. *****watch 10 news for onride footage tonight*****

  13. Wet N Wild Future

    in Theme Park Discussion

    Posted

    Exactly. I loved Stephen Gregg's comment about looking forward to sharing the market. Very diplomatic. Better press than saying 'We will crush the hell outta Wet'n'Wild. You're going down, Menzies!' :lol:
    Wet N WIld will always be the Better Park to the General public (1) Size of Park as of late WNW has been hitting 10,000 each weekend WWW can only hold 4000 people you do the math. (2) The name Wet N Wild is worldwide like Disneyland is for Disney and a name alone can make a big difference when groups or family are deciding. (3) The 3 park Superpass not every tourist can afford to go to every park so they buy the 3 park superpass which gives you a day at MW, SW and WNW plus a extra bonus day at any park of there choice. Now in my opinon my next waterpark visit will be WWW but im a theme park freak the general public are not.

    rabid my family is off to DisneyWorld in Jan 07, and we have 2 days spare in which we can visit SeaWorld/Universal/Islands of Adventure. Is it worth going to SeaWorld? Did you go to Universal?
    To answer your question. I didnt like Seaworld I only went for the killer whales the rest is better at the one down here IMO IOA is the best park in the world besides Tokyo Disneysea. here are my IOA photos so you can see what i mean part 1 http://ozcoaster.net/content/view/32/27/ part 2 http://ozcoaster.net/content/view/35/1/ also how many days are you at WDW?

  18. New MW map with the BAT WING!

    in Theme Park Discussion

    Posted

    Its land and some small offices. Also I was thinking Batwing was gonna be indoors, looks like its clearly outside. oh well.
    Ive said for over a year now (well 6 months publicly) that it would be outside because we wanted to see people faces of fear as they launch, its more fun this way when you are waiting in queue or watching for the nice cool viewing area.
