Oh ffs is anything open out there at the moment? .. and they wonder why it is so quiet down the back end of the Park. Shut everything and make it look like the place is going broke.. nice

Menu looks pretty spot on but the Venue itself is a good Movieworld Entertainment Precinct and adjacent Hotel before it's time.. Time will tell I guess..

Lately I have been hearing Radio Ads for DW telling People it will be Australia's ONLY Flying Simulator.. Did I miss something?

June 30 2019.

Less than $6 a month AND with Photo pass? I'm impressed DW, well done😃

While on the subject of Uniforms, can somebody please explain why Senior VTP Employee's do not require a Uniforn of any description? Whatever happened to the "Movieworld "Look"?

@milesandbos An answer like that suggests to me that you are likely a MW "Mole" masquerading as an every day Visitor that's rather pathetically trying to guide the watchful eye of the scrutinizing fan away from negative forum reviews, such as this one.. "Nothing to see here!! Move along!!!!" hmmm.. 🤔

I believe that is correct in the ride's design however the easier/cheaper way to reduce the splash was to simply shut the cannons off in winter time - or in recent times, just shut the ride down all together until it warms up again.

Old saying goes "You don't get a second chance at a first impression". MW once dominated the GC Parks in Customer Service. It was something that myself along with thousands of others who took great pride in during it's early years. From what I can tell, things really started going downhill in the last 10 years, now that all of the original Bosses have finally called it a day. @Brad2912 I am a little shocked to hear that you have never known MW to be a place noteworthy of Service? As is the case with most Theme Parks globally - One Entry and One Exit. That's where a Park makes it's first and last impression. If they want to fix this problem you have to start somewhere, so start with the Front Gate and work forward from there..

Hmmm.. not sure of the words 'Lawyer' and 'Great' belonging in the same two sentences. ..

A bit of a Nerd story; back in the 'Olden days' of WWF, MW created an in-house system of upturned aluminum frames that were placed along the channel out the back of the ride. . In case you don't believe me, maybe take a look back on this site and old footage?. No shit, the idea actually worked and created a bit of a 'bubble' effect that raised the water level and kept the boats buoyant throughout. . For many years it worked flawlessly and uninterrupted. That is, until some stupid Lawyer dreamed up a "better" idea of a Person actually getting hurt while riding

Hey @pushbutton this one is for you

^pretty much! Funny thing about the world we live in today huh? .. Oh let me just have a little cry right now. ..sad, sad times.. please..

DW seems to be running with the attraction name as "i-ride". A bit like calling JL "Sally Dark Ride" or Green Lantern "El Loco"... It means nothing to the Lamen. I hope their marketing department is smarter than this because it is a huge investment for DW and a big change in direction for the Park. Most People have no idea what to expect when they experience this kind of attraction, but when they do they are absolutely blown away by it. It's difficult to convey on any medium just how good it is except maybe word of mouth/experiencing for yourself.

Rocky Mouldy Slug ride?

I mentioned this in a customer feedback survey recently.. pretty shithouse really. As far as I am aware there is only 1 bubbler that is adjacent to the Ladies room in the Castaway area. It is just a bubbler- no chiller or filter and the water that comes out of it tastes pretty unpleasant. Not a particularly rewarding discovery being right at the back of the Park!

Hey @pin142 I take it you are suggesting that extra sand is coming from the dredging work taking place in the lagoon next to Dockside? Judging by the colour of the sand mound in the second picture I'd say you are correct. You can also see what looks like dredging pipes running from COTD Lighthouse area across the Lake in front of the Whale. That is a huge pile of sand they have pulled from the lagoon, so perhaps all this is just SW making more room (depth) for their life-long Residents?

Visited SW for a couple of hours today. It is always a lovely place to take a stroll and enjoy the Day with the Animals and Environment, if not anything else. Being so close to where I live, if anything else SW is a spectacular Parkland and I am glad it's still there, despite seeing better days. Some potentially exciting news; it seems progress is finally being made on the reclaimed area beside the old Corkscrew/Pirate Ship site and around the old Lighthouse where some dredging work continues. Ray Reef remains closed. My guess is Village Lawyers found a risk and won't reopen until deemed safe. Wtf Pfff.. Shark Bay is getting some TLC and Storm looks to be getting some serious work too.. tick! A few pics from my phone..

I must be biased but I don't find AA painful to ride. Sure, it shakes and shudders but at no stage (at least to me anyway) jolts or jars you the way that HWSW does. The only discomfort I get from AA is the tightness of the restraints after hitting the 1st brake. When the Car hits the bottom of the loop on HWSW it is one of the most painful moments of any rollercoaster operating today. It also has a couple of turns that are reminiscent of the neck-busting days of the Thunderbolt. I agree that AA is the next major MW ride to go but would give it at least another 5 years. Another Kumback train should be on the cards if they want to keep it around as long as possible. HWSW on the other hand is a shit ride and hurts! A ride that can and does inflict pain and minor injuries has no place in any Park and especially not DW. It needs to go yesterday.

WWF is one of the single most expensive rides ever built in Australia, originally costing around 20 million. It's still a great ride and offers important balance to a Park that is too thrill heavy and too few Family friendly rides and attractions. It is also the most aesthetically spectacular looking ride across all Parks. If WWF gets the same kind of love that we hope for Scooby-doo one day, then we can expect it to hang around for a very, very long time. If anything, get rid of that pathetic excuse for a Flume ride at DW. Surprised nobody mentioned that one.

Wow thanks @Levithian some of my dear old MW work Pals are featured in this video. I would love to pass this on to some that probably had all but forgotten about it! The AV Tech featured 'Mark' always just as excitable in real life.. A top bloke. P.S. How good does Scooby-Doo look?!? The Loading area and Main Laser room looked (as ol' mate JM used to always say) FANTASTIC!! .. and to the young Cynic out there, the ride really did look that good.. true story

Ouch what a burn @Skeeta🤗 Conspiracy aside, you would have to be living under a rock to not know that DC sucks arse right now. Meanwhile Scooby-doo is a safe brand. Keeping it themed that way is a no-brainer, surely.

Hey @joz I'm just about to hop into my alter-universe transportation bubble and pop down to the Bottlo to pick up a pack of the hangover-less stuff.. While I'm there, can I get you anything to congratulate you on the new SW GM role? Top shelf buddy, take your pick!??

Thanks Parkz! I imagine MW will promote this as a new experience and bundle it as part of all things new in the Park (Lego 4D, Rivals and Villains area).
