Park Addict 93

I can be naturally skeptical of any statement that comes out of the parks, but I do believe this that they are getting replacement parts (for the existing ride experience) manufactured. Will they need to look at large expenses/closure/something in the not too distant future, yes. But I think it will still reopen as is.

The exhibit is long gone/used for storage now despite signage being intact. WC = White Christmas in the example I gave.

Choosing not to open attractions during night events for cost cutting or because they wish for people to purchase day tickets/passes is not new. Oz was not open for the WC dates that took place after opening last year, neither was the Batman Exhibit when it was running.

WWF closed at some point before 2:30PM yesterday and is now listed on the website as "Unplanned Maintenance". Hopefully not a long closure.

I'm honestly not sure if they still have a development/test website with the amount of errors/issues I have seen go live on ThemeParks.com.au. Attention to detail with their marketing (including socials) has never been their strong suit.

Yep, It was there when I visited in Feb 2023. Definitely the same design as the former Dreamworld one, albeit smaller.

My understanding is HSD is due to close in October with the new show starting by the end of the year.

It’s still relatively popular, I do enjoy Heartland but think it’s time for an entirely new show. Heartland I believe has been the longest running AOS production.

They realised that it would improve the guest experience and they didn't want to break their current streak of "that will do".

Website has now been updated, the current ticket prices are "early bird $10 off" advertised as ending August 21.

https://vr-tpgoldcoast.secure-cdn.oc.accessoticketing.com/subKeyword/MW - Fright Nights,MW - Fright Nights Passes Direct link to the ticketing site, admission tickets are actually starting cheaper this year (my ticket for the first night last year was $89 vs $79 this year). First Bite has gone from $59 > $69 and no longer lists a viewing area for the opening as a perk, last bite is now a slice of pizza rather than a meal too. Just those that purchase the One Pass + FN Ticket Bundle 2 new mazes to be announced soon, plus Circurse Maze, Hellship Maze and DCeased Maze. There's also to be (mentioned in the inclusions for the event specific photo pass) Maze Photography from inside 2 new mazes to be announced soon, plus DCeased Maze.

VRTP have teased their afterpay day sale commencing on Thursday. Fright Night tickets are mentioned.

Socials and website have been updated to reveal a new logo and teased its “coming soon”. Hopefully that means a September-October opening. https://movieworld.com.au/attractions/scooby-doo-spooky-coaster This is the other option, they have pushed out advertising now simply because they see the progress/success of Dreamworld’s King Claw campaign.

Wasn't when I posted, but glad the website is live with dates now.

IMHO, purely dates didn’t need a teaser announcement. Website isn’t even live yet/literally just dates.
