The pics I found - the last 2 are VERY poor quality
-
Found some pictures on a photobucket account. I'll post here tomorrow Morning but if u cannot wait that long just do a search on photobucket for Movieworld and the gremlins pics are around page 32 I think. The swinging gremlin on the light is there as well! From memory they could probably stand 40-50 people

There was more than one theatre, I think 3-4 but that's a number I may have pulled out of the air. Theatre 1 - filling with guests Theatre 1 - movie started Theatre 2 - filling with guests Theatre 1 - "evacuated" because of gremlins - guests than led down a hallway to ride vehicles. A gremlin swinging from a downlight scared the hell out of my sister and she was removed by a fire escape Theatre 2 - movie started Theatre 3 - filling with guests Theatre 1 - filling with guests Theatre 2 - evacuated Theatre 3 - movie started Etc etc.... Only the one theatre remains and during Scooby Evacuations it was checked by an operator to ensure no one was in there by accident.
Yes. So what were the theatres for? were they smallish? -
Was it part of the attraction? Not sure if you are referring to my post about the theatre. The theatre in the pretext of the Gremlins ride was very much a part of the attraction. In fact there were at least 4-5 theatres. Not sure if thAt's what you meant by that. The theatre as a part of Scooby Doo. No.
Was it a part of the attraction???? and I WOULD LOVE to see some of the western action show! and cash bonanza is on youtube... this was filmed on the maverick set

haha Gazza - I didn't actually have any water park challenges planned :-< - It didn't even cross my mind to do a Water park challenge!!
-
yep - there is/was a Gremlins theatre to the left of the Scooby Queue that was still intact when I worked at MW.
-
About 4-5 years ago the theatre was still intact and in orginal form. It was actually used as a training venue for staff. Someone else might have a better idea if it's still there ? Nate

It will help to if you let us know the ages in your group and what you most want to so at the parks. Are you after thrills? Shows? Relaxingfamily time? Ages / heights of any small children would also be handy to help decide which rides they can go on. Nate

No budding restauranters? (sp?) hehehe big 2 week mega challenge coming up
might be a good idea to enter any idea this week to get some points up before the mega challenge! -
Hi All, I had a RDO today so decided to bite the bullet and get back to the parks after not visiting for a while. Movieworld 1030 - 1 Superman Escape Posted Wait - 15 Minutes I managed to get a single rider ride within about 10 minutes of waiting so that was all good. There was no steam operating from the vents, but the waterfall was working again so that was good. Was evacuated at the launch due to a problem with the ride. I did see it going again later in the day but couldn't be bothered paying for another locker Hollywood Stunt Driver I raced up to HSD to check out the 11am show. It was much better than I remember last. The new "producer" is much better than the previous video. Scooby Doo Posted wait - 0 minutes waited in line around 5 minutes for scooby, once again scoring a single rider seat. Scooby's mouth dosn't appear to move on any of the animatronics anymore. The wild mouse had no visible haze but all the lazers were great. Journey to the Centre of the Earth 4-D there was no wait for this attraction because it was not open. Polar Express 4d was showing instead. so if they are going to close Journey for xmas then wouldnt it be easy to take the posters down outside, and also put a notice at the gates that it was closed? was a little peeved off.... Staff The young girl at the upgrade booth had an issue with her hair. while i spoke to her about the vip pass she seemed to enjoy plaiting and replaiting it. She never looked more bored in her entire life. all the other staff were great and didn't have any problems. Seaworld Went to Seaworld to check out the Pirate show and Castaway bay, and also to ride Sea Viper. The pirate show is terrible..... it really is a very boring experience. due to the lightning all the rides were closed, but was cool to see the massive penguin enclosure building ;d ok so that was my day at sw and mw1

In regards to the copyright issue. i agree with AlexB - about "fair dealing" but my interpretation is different. "Fair Dealing" basically means you can copy less that 9.99% of the book to show here with no worries at all. You can actually copy the whole book and show it here if the purpose and character of the copying is not for profit the possibility of obtaining the work commercially. the effect of the use on the potential market for the work is not going to cause a problem. So, my thoughts with my limited legal knowledge. Post up to 9.99% of the book if you want to stay completly out of trouble. Post it all if you think you would be able to prove your use under "Fair Dealing" I personally don't see an issue with it, but if the new MW book which has been spoken about contains infomation and photos from the previous book MW may not take kindly to you posting pictures and info they are trying to sell in a new book. "fair dealing allows research and study; review and critique;" You can post excerpts from the book for the site to review and critique, or use for research and study, which we technically are doing anyway! Regardless, havn't MW asked for things to be removed from this site in the past without going through a huge legal bruhaha? If they have a problem I'm sure they will be on here and ask the mods to remove. Or, the mods may just say no to your posting at all. nate
