Movie World Fright Nights 2016
downunder replied to Jay Jay The Jet Plane's topic in Theme Park Discussion
^Yeah MW confirmed that for me on FB unfortunately. We were all challenging each other to do it on the weekend past, but we left it too late. Let's just say some of my friends are relieved it's sold out. I would have come back up from Sydney for a unique experience like that (and some more UTT). -

I've been on a couple of wing coasters, they are very average in my opinion, pretty tame. What do we know? It's Mack (unless they put out some old Scooby Doo coaster boxes to throw us off lol - disclaimer: I am joking). It's taking up a sizable tract of land. Everything else: speculation. Hopefully it will be too hard to hide what it is in a couple of months. I'm looking forward to seeing this rise up. -
I see the Williams Grove site is opening up for one night on Oct 31, that would be interesting.

Doomsday Destroyer - reviews and feedback
downunder replied to Theme Park Girl's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I thought it was just an OK ride, much better on the end two seats (that was the only ride on it I started to feel nauseous). The precinct as a whole was pretty cool - it adds a really different flavour to the park. I hope they continue to develop it and add new rides/experiences. -

^I'd say probably not too, but it would be cool. Let's see what happens. Now that I've seen the site with my own eyes, I'm so much more intrigued. -

That Silverwood thing is on the site, but doesn't seem to let you book. Does anyone know if it's sold out or not happening? Did the UTT on Saturday (on top of the Star Tour and Pit Pass (discounted for Star Tour peeps), what a day), enjoyed it. I especially liked the Conjuring and thought Friday the 13th was improved. The other mazes were good too. The UTT extra experience was fun and something different to the other years - I preferred the previous years, but it was still good. -

I really liked Silver Dollar City and thoroughly enjoyed Outlaw Run. The caves were so cool, even though it was partially flooded the day we went and couldn't go all the way down. Definitely a park to revisit.- 38 replies

I worked in the CBA buidling that went into the Sega Mega World site. I went there once on a Friday night, it was deserted. Unfortunately the coaster wasn't running that night. We and Wild Sydney might become an abandoned amusement park if things don't get better (disclaimer: just tongue in cheek speculation on my part).

Duelling might be a possibility given the size of the site, though what looks like the return run to the station is fairly narrow. I wonder if it might challenge for longest coaster? -

@Santa07 Definitely no sarcasm, I honestly wouldn't know if someone on here was one of the hosts. My friends pointed out the aforementioned parkz member, I would have had no idea. After seeing that site, the coaster could be anything. -

They were very good, were you one of them? ^^Lol dude, I would have taken a swag of pics if they allowed photography up there. ^Theme Park Ninja, we saw you having a crack with the hammer in Villians, my friends know who you are. -

I saw the site today in real life for the first time (from the top of Arkham), f*** it's huge. -

^Oops missed that. I presume Friday the 13th 4D is that really lame one from last year? -
Poll: What do you think Movie World's coaster will be
downunder replied to Jamberoo Fan's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I don't know, I woke up at the end. Anyone remember when Mr Bean went on a coaster and he fell asleep lol? -

downunder replied to Jamberoo Fan's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Just make sure that chicken soup is churro flavoured. I must say the one Mack e-motion coaster I've been on was not an emotional experience. Hopefully Mack are doing this bespoke and it will be an original. -

^My bad, I've ridden both many times lol, I shouldn't post early morning. Probably what I meant to say is full circuit, non-one trick pony (and I'm not counting the hump on Kingda Ka as a second trick), full circuit coaster. I'll be interested to see if the polar coaster happens, I haven't checked on that project for a while. -
^It looks like the roller coaster equivalent of a centrifuge. I wouldn't have a problem riding it, front row or otherwise.

I also note the Silverwood thing on the 29th is back. -

^Half true, I'll interpret that as the coaster will be double the stats, the world's first 400 foot plus full circuit coaster lol. I have zero idea on this personally, only what I'd like to see, I was surprised they went with Mack, but they've dealt with them before. There was a theory the Doomsday Destroyer might have been a sweetener on a coaster deal with Intamin - myth: busted. -

Dammit, can't you see the Mack boxes are just a smokescreen for the fact this coaster will be Inatmin's masterpiece: New Millennium GeForce will be so tall it will have planes swerving and the neighbors screaming blue murder to the council. In other news, Kim Kardashian went 24 hours without taking a selfie. -

You're inspiring me - I've got already got a 2017 Six Flags Season Pass and Cedar Fair Platinum Pass (they both already paid for themselves on my recent 2016 trip) begging to be used.- 38 replies

If I had to bet, I'd have my money on something like Flash at Iewa World, happy to be proven wrong with something even better. Any riveting footer updates? Maybe someone should follow the site workers to the pub after work and get some intel lol. A Tooheys or 22 might loosen lips. -

Lol, and while we're at it the new area of Movieworld vilifies villains, close it immediately.
