I heard they're putting in some new fountains.... and toilets.

I can now see it correctly.

Am I the only one that can only see HTML code, rather than the article, pictures and links?

Yeah given this isn't even three years ago, and this site has (in some form or other) been going since 2003- theres a decade behind this topic to wade through...

I've been in the cinema\training room that used to be a gremlins cinema for a future of fun focus group. It certainly doesn't look as glamorous as it used to, but it lives on.

I like that they've extended the games building to incorporate the drink station, rather than the portable stand. it means they'll be able to put in a soda fountain instead of selling bottles only.

I heard that the bugs bunny group shot had to be paid for separately?

That's a great read, and perfectly explains why Disney has had some limited exposure with marvel characters in florida too.

Wow. A picture really does tell 1000 words... or in this case 148! Good description for the giffickly challenged Jamberoo Fan. Great to see this little park continues to build on its success.

Seeing that makes it obvious how bad the paint job really was looking. I mean we could all see it, but the before and after just shows how bad it was. I'm glad they took the step to do it now, rather than waiting for another year.

why did ROTM affect Scoob? I mean I get they're both dark ride coasters, but they're very different... not disagreeing with you just curious how you took that view.

Could just be a 'dirty office' for tradies and the like and a 'clean office' for the project managers \ corporate types. Suits generally don't like to mix with the 'unwashed'

My syndicate had a win on Wednesday lotto. $16.95. Split 13 ways. I only need another 153 wins and i'll be able to book mine.

Although I question the merits of them installing a boomerang, for some there is the nostalgia value that will mean it still has its place in a new park - many parks around the world still have boomerangs... however I doubt you'd see the original model brought back to sydney. If anything it'd be sourced from another park or purchase a new one direct from Vekoma.

never heard of the spaghetti chase, but i think you missed the pteradactyl flyer coaster they have in JP land too...

if nothing else, you gotta be happy they're using better concept art than the original site concept.

Well, since we're talking about park sites not keeping with the times - I just want to point out that Wonderland had FIVE webcams live on their site in 2001. I think this point is going to garner plenty of interest here. Many parks use webcams on their site - especially for construction watch. If anyone at VRTP is watching - you guys need at least to get a webcam set up for your coaster construction - stick it on Batwing or Green Lantern overlooking the coaster site - THAT would build hype... but other than that, stick one on main street, and maybe another one overlooking wild west or Doomsday or both.

I wanted an exaggerated 'heaps of signs in one place' photo to respond to your post - but now i've got this one here, i'm just trying to figure out how a pig, a set of boobs, and a peace symbol come together - and then I realised its done as a joke. Now I want to see the rest of the signs on the roundabout...

Thats a preview screening, not an attraction. I'm not aware of the specifics of the license, but airing a condensed preview film (as opposed to say one of the 4D films where it IS a ride unto itself) is probably the difference here. I still don't see a themed attraction as such.

To answer the main question - I only visit village or ardent sites to purchase tickets, and only when they have a better offer than places like groupon or local social clubs. I don't visit them for content unless i'm checking maintenance pages or height restrictions. The reason is simple - they don't offer anything in the way of content that i can't get anywhere else - Parkz delivers what I want to see, and if the website comes up with something interesting (such as when they launch a new product like Star Tours, or their seasonal products like FN and WC) its usually posted on the Parkz Forums for me to direct link to. TL:DR - the GC parks sites are shit, but I don't think it really matters.

Absolutely agree, and Ammar, and David are both still committed to getting this going.

Sounds like semantics, but a special after hours appearance, as opposed to a themed attraction or a regular day-guest appearance does seem like a different thing.

Have they appeared on the resort property, or have they appeared INSIDE a park. Universal's license relates to theme parks ONLY. They don't have any rights outside of the parks themselves. As I understand it, the Florida monorails at Disney received a wrap for Guardians (might have been a different marvel franchise tho?), but these wrapped monorails were restricted to resort lines. they weren't run on any monorails that entered INSIDE park property.

Unfortunately private, but quite reliable. I'm the first to get hung up on people who say they heard something, but can't identify source for reliability. Take this as rumor and nothing more. Those that know me well know what my connections are to Wonderland, and will have an idea of my sources, and will probably vouch for me on this. Unfortunately I can't divulge any more than that.
