I didn't really pay much attention but there was someone on a ladder in the queue line.

I took the photos from vantage points accessible by the public with a little bit of creative thinking.... yes the monorail was still operational. Vikings revenge still down.

Some pics from today. Sorry I didnt get the shot looking from the entrance to the reclaimed land. This is the best I could do without trespassing. I couldnt get any shots of the station interior. I am going to assume the whole thing is coming down though.

Heading to Seaworld today. Pic requests?

So my family has come into a bit of money and my dad has announced a family trip. I have always wanted to go to Orlando but it looks like we can only do Universal or Disney. Our travelling party are two people in their 50's and three in their 20's. At the moment we are leaning towards Universal but would like your input. We are looking at other things to do around Florida as well so any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Yes some don't open new attractions for a number of years but this has not been the case for Universal Florida. 2012 - Despicable Me : Minion Mayhem 2013 - Transformers: The Ride Simpsons Fast Food Boulevard plus Kodas twist and hurl 2014 - Diagon Alley plus Hogwarts Express plus Escape from Gringotts 2015? - King Kong With both the simpsons and diagon being fairly immersive lands, universal have sure spent a lot of money on growth in the last few years.

heading further off topic, but a great attraction does not need to be based on a movie or pre-existing story. Case in point - Mystic Manor

I literally hate this idea

Feel very disapointed in this as well. I truly hope this does not take up much valuable space

Wet N Wild have claimed 8th position world wide for most attended water park posting a 17% increase in attendance off 2012 figures. The report is another interesting read. http://www.aecom.com/What+We+Do/Economics/Theme+Index+Report

Little bit late to the party here but my favourite positions to work at Movieworld had to be Scooby doo load platform. On busy days I really really enjoyed getting people pumped up and excited and moving quickly to get the cars loaded. When I was working Scooby on busy days, management tended to just put me on load for the whole day as I was pretty damn good at getting it done efficiently. If you were super hungover or not feeling very guest friendly, some time in the highzone or at the LRRR waterfall scene was really good. Except there were a few yucky stories about the lift room at LTTR which nearly always reminded me to take in some disinfectant before handling the button. For something different, working the Movie Magic Special Effects show was a highlight as well. The tricks we would play on each other before and during the show were hilarious... I will always remember my time at the show with fond memories. now to worst attractions.... anything to do with the front entry I hated. It was so boring to check heights and that was about it! I also hated working the matrix exhibit with a passion. It was by far one of the most boring attractions mw have ever created, and most of the guests felt the same! It went through a couple of different versions while I was there and it was just boring for guests and staff.

Unbelievably silly question from me right now. What happened to the gravitron ar dreamworld? Is the space where the turbine is at cyclone big enough for a gravatron type attraction? They could place it on the ground level, then the interior queue while waiting for the cyclone could be used. Guests could watch the ride spinning while they wait. Put some glass pannelling above it or somethinf so noone can throw anything (or spit in it) then they could subtly hint that thr cyclone is being caused by the forces of the gravitron. Big week this week and very tired so.not sure this is making sense.

Jurasic park at universal studios singapore. I was absolutely drenched.

No plausibility but a good laugh.

Personally I would do Asia. Singapore, then off to Tokyo DisneySea. Never really been interested in the USA and I think Asia would be culturally more exciting.

Sorry for the confusion. I was just having a dig at those who post rumor as fact and didn't for a second think that people would actually believe there was only one maintenance man on for the entire park.

I was joking mate

the service is taking longer than expected because they only have one maintenance man on staff for the whole park. He will be spending 1 hour Monday-Friday working on Wipeout (he does not work weekends) in between he is constructing a tunnel for the vintage cars.

Zac, the only "ride" is a 4D Movie.

Makes me wonder about my definition of a theme park. I personally wouldn't classify this place as a theme park, but very interested to read others views!

Just watched Blackfish. Wow it was hard to view, and it does paint a horrible picture of Seaworld US. If you have not watched it yet you should!

I have no idea! Abu dahbi i think? its next to that ferrari world place. Not sure why i said dubailand. Do you know anything about it?

Not sure if I have seen this discussed on here so apologies if this is a re-do. Looks like this has been planned for 10 years or so it may never happen. Was wondering if Villiage have anything to do with the Warner Brothers Park in Abu Dhabi. I dont think they do but was just curious. Apparently Warner Brothers Park will draw on its existing warner bros. attractions and will make up a small portion of dubailand. Does anyone have any more info?
