I just hope they do a Bill & Ted type show next year.

Grrrr... guys, listen. Tony, did the newspaper say that or was it a mistake? If it's a mistake, I don't care, but I wanted to know if that's what the newspaper said. It doesn't sound very polished...

Well, I am directing this at the newspaper, not yourself. I thought they wrote it and you just typed it up for us?

DREAMWORLD owner Macquarie owner Macquarie Leisure Trust Group says its businesses will not be heavily affected by an economic downturn.

Did you write that? I thought it was a copy-and-paste job? "DREAMWORLD owner Macquarie owner Macquarie Leisure Trust Group says its businesses will not be heavily affected by an economic downturn." If it's a newspaper job, then great writing.

I rode it at 5 to 9. Nothing happened? I did notice a control box near the top in the room. Is that new?

Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves and say I copied it from the Bulletin. I firstly wrote the e-mail on the 29th, when the e-mail was first sent to me regarding this information. Anyone want proof? Also, by the same token, Parkz' was placed on the site after two stories were published, so does that mean he copied it? I think not...

Haha - yeah the doctor (aka you) was pretty freaky. Hence no pictures...haha!

On Thursday the 30th October, I attended Movie World's annual Halloween Family Fun Night. To no surprise, the place was packed... and to think of those poor soles who were visiting Friday night. The first ride I went on was Batwing, and oh boy, I can tell you that it had to have been some of the slowest operation of that ride I have ever encountered. Nonetheless, the airtime made up for the snail-pace operation. Then onto the not-so-Scary Maze... Now I can tell you that the name wasn't the only thing lame about this attraction, if you could call it that. It literally was just temporary fencing with some fancy lighting and fog added. No live actors to be seen, but I just figured that they may have fallen asleep like I was about to do. After that awful attraction, I needed something scary, real scary. The first time I went through the Fright Zone it seemed like there were no actors and the layout was boring... but I knew that couldn't be possible, so I did it again, and can I tell you that I'm glad I did! Here's a tip, if you see a group of teenage girls enter, follow them, because it is soooooo funny to hear them scream like little kids. Then back onto Main Street were I saw all those scary live actors and some grown men acting like, well, crazy people. The same people who I saw smoking in the Batwing line earlier! The Zombie Laser Skirmish was a real letdown, $5 for ten minutes... but hey, I'm sure there's many Luna Park fans who'd be happy to visit Movie World and fork out more money. On my way back up to Superman I encounter a little 'extra' attraction not mentioned on the park map. It was pretty much just Police Academy's old props made to look like they were in a war zone with some blood and guts added. Did I mentioned there was that random spider back to 'scare' (cough) guests? Onto Superman, where the operation was slow as well, although this one was due to one train operation – don't ask me why this is the case. Overall, a good night out for the general public or coaster nerds alike, and a sure-fire way for Movie World to grab some extra cash for that B&M coaster we're all wishing for.

Yes it is. It says so on their website.

Yes to both of those questions. ^

West Coast.

I have just paid my deposit. I'm so excited!

Most of the people don't dress up. Goths and emos have the advantage here. They just dress normal and yet they will fit in well with the Halloween crowd.

I'm sure you'll find someone from Back to the Future to dress up as.

^ Yes, but I'm sure MyFun members get 10% off their bus tickets.

Did anyone else get the PM from him with 'BAM' the only text in it? Back on-topic... I think they'll be telling people to pre-purchase before the event because the tickets will be sold out on the night. But come the night and I'm sure they'll still be ticket booths open.

Superman Escape is my favorite. No other Aussie counter even comes close!

How do you know Doc Brown for sure it's going to be open? How do you know Doc Brown for sure it's going to be open?

Doc Brown you seriously need to start speaking to people better, because otherwise you are going to have a very awful time here on the forums.

Gazza! Don't get me started. Has any of the mazes started construction yet?

Damn, pre-purchase ticket sales may just drop now.

Saw it tonight. I'm impressed. Just be nice if they added some night lighting.

Wow, I think that wins the award for the most far-out excuse on this forum.

I read somewhere that Sea World would have to 'rescue' it to hold it legally onsite.
