Spotty

The best advice I can give you is BEFORE lining up for rides like Superman or Green Lantern at movie world is speaking to the entry host and asking if you can test the seat before lining up. That way it saves you the embarrassment if you are unable to fit on the ride and wasting time lining up. As far as Scooby Doo goes, it's very odd with regards to larger guests. However I can suggest sitting in the back row of the car as there is more legroom which makes it easier to spread out if required. Batwing the harness does NOT need to touch you, as long as the seatbelt is done up you will be OK to ride. Superman will require all 3 safety checks to pass, which includes being able to see a yellow line of stitching on the seatbelt, the lap-bar touching your legs and making sure you can move side to side in the seat comfortably. Wild West Falls is also pretty accommodating, but once again each seat / lap bar is ever so slightly different but if your unsure if you will fit i'd suggest riding in your own row to ensure the most likely success. One last tip with scoobs, if you have any bags either leave them in a locker or have someone else riding with you place them between your feet to give you the most room possible. If you have any further questions about Scooby, Batwing, Wild West Falls or Superman restrictions please feel free to PM me and i'll try my best to help out...

Generally they will not close the ride during the day, but they have in the past when it's been something like a guests bag that has something like a passport in it. Especially if they KNOW where it dropped out it can really speed up the process. But most of the time things don't survive

If they made everyone put items in lockers like at superman for Scooby Doo it would increase load time and unload time amazingly. Maybe then the ride could run 18 cars on the track instead of the 14 - 16 that they use now. However if they were to implement lockers on any other rides than superman / GL they should be linked with the VIP pass barcode (and certainly free with the VIP Gold Pass... and an optional upgrade for say $15 for the life of your pass. Scan the VIP pass, opens up the locker. For guests that don't have VIP passes / don't want to opt in... make it say $5 for a wristband like Wet n Wild that is unlimited entry for all the smaller lockers (or larger if required) But keep it limited to 1 hour (or if it's busy enable the supervisor of the ride to be able to extend the time from the control room) 5 dollars for unlimited locker hire on all the rides would be a great deal, and say with Scooby Doo... it wouldn't be as strict such as with hats, wallets etc. But bags (any bigger than say a small woman's handbag / satchel bag) should ideally go in a locker to prevent them flying out of the cars (and trust me... they do fly out more often than you would think...) That's just my opinion on the lockers at Movie World. $2 for an hour is just outrageous really... $1 was tollerable.

It could be a new ride, a new kids ride is big enough to warrant something being in the ASX. The plot of land for Sam Train is actually quite large, in fact as far as length goes it's nearly as long as RoadRunner's plot of land vertically. A larger scale version of a Zamperla Demolition Derby could fit quite well in that space to replace the ride. It would also fit in with the theming of a "Car ride" As this ride would probably cost around the million mark, it is significicant enough to warrant being mentioned (along with any new attractions big or small)

Speedy's Taxi's was only revamped a year ago... so I doubt it will be going. It's still one of the most popular rides in the WBK precinct. Not to mention the ride is actually running halfway reliably now... I'd suggest it could be possible that this could be replacing the Yosemite Sam Railroad as that ride has been closed until further notice...

There is an outdoor play area near the food court, but no water play structure.

Good Ol' Frosty The Snowman Looks huge!

On a gold and platinum flash pass you can buy a ride on X2 (limited availability) and on a platinum you can for Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom (limited availability too)

Just a heads up with the mazes at the back of the park (Film Vault and Walking Dead) The lines were spilling out towards arkham last night... and still the wait time was only 30 minutes. DO NOT be taken back by the size of the lines as they are getting through a heap of people in those mazes. I went last night and managed to get on Green Lantern and did all 4 mazes (Walking dead twice) and saw all the shows as well. It was a great night and honestly one of the best fright night's I had been to.

If your wanting a good hotel to stay at for a decent price (148 a night if your a rydges member which is free..) QT Gold Coast is an amazing place, clean... vibrant and amazing service and beds to die for. Much better IMO than the Hilton... and a much better price tag

If your missus wanted to ride as well (not sure if she's a thrill junkie or not like you) you could even utilize the parent swap along with the single rider queue to really maximize your time Also, having a system similar to Mick Doohan would prove to be an issue due to the automatic doors that block people seeing superman on the back of the train...

I wouldn't expect to ever see Cartoon Network back at VRTP properties... they had it for a while at Sea World and they got rid of it... IMO the Kids WB area and the Western area should be the two areas they focus on after JL:AI 3D is done.

Honestly... I think Movie World has enough roller coasters for now. The park has just brought 2 roller coasters in the last year (if you include the Arkham rehab as honestly it's made it so much better it's like it's new) And has just built a high capacity dark ride. What i'd like to see them build next is something in the kids area as they need something more. Although they are refurbishing the existing children's rides (Speedy's Taxi's and Yosemite Sam Railroad) I'd love to see something in the Tunes Ride building, but it would be quite expensive for them to gut the building and place something else in there i'd assume. So if they were to not place something in the kids area next, I'd love to see a new flat ride in the park. However it would need to be something that is high capacity (at least 24 riders a cycle) so something like a Top Spin as far as capacity goes. Then once they have built a new flat, and done something to the kids area we could consider another coaster or a water ride for the park.

Well... that was a waste of everyones night Everyone knew it was too good to be true if Dreamworld got something like a 10 inversion Intamin

I think i've seen once in the xmas holidays a 10am show, 11am show, 12:30pm show, 1:50pm show and a 4:15pm show. I think (don't quote me on it) the most they do is 5 shows in a day, often 4 in peak (no 12:30pm show) and the 10am is only in xmas holidays as far as I am aware when the park was opening at 9:30am.

Depends if Ardent wanted to release those figures for the survey, only parks that agreed to submit attendance details are included if i'm not mistaken.

The "Grilled Cheese" one is just creepy as hell... I mean seriously, it looks like Elmer Fudd is about to make out with the sandwich! I love "I'm a Martian" though =D

Also, ricks did a all you can drink deal for I think it was 4.95 and you got a cup you could refill in the cafe all day. Not sure if it will be coming back when it reopens but I can't see why it wouldn't.

Maybe add TWO turbines... or a circular saw?

IMO Bermuda was one of Australia's best themed attractions, and was a ride that would never get old and could be enjoyed by families of all ages (Pre Jet Rescue Days) However, it was disgusting to see how it was left to rot so to speak in the months before closing...

Here's a layout that I whipped up on paint earlier tonight of Bermuda, it's not to scale or anything but it's pretty accurate.

The person driving that car was probably thinking "Well... this is awkward... I wonder if i'll get in trouble for that one!" But then again, compared to the last fail in that show at the park... this is nothing.

So do I... so do I

Second that

Lethal is also getting a whole extra month of Maintenence, instead of going down on the 27th of FEB it's going down on the 27th of JAN instead.
