They didn't mention anything about the gold vip pass. I have queried this as we want to go to White Christmas this year. Will post their reply when I get one.

Just got a second reply... This morning we have launched our new VIP Pass which provides unlimited entry to Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World and Wet ‘n’ Wild and is valid until the 30th June 2013. The new VIP Pass which provides unlimited entry to Sea World, Wet ‘n’ Wild and Warner Bros. Movie World can be purchased for $99.99 for adults, children and pensioners online at www.myfun.com.au.

Kind regards

Just received this reply... Thank you for your email enquiry.

backpedal: To retreat or withdraw from a position or attitude. Gazza quoted me and I admitted I made an error... How is that a backpedal? Others here edit stuff when they get pointed out there is an error. Want to comment on them?

Corrected my error. Considering bub is due June 25 and that is 34 days away don't see how I did that. But the fact still remains they are advertising it at that date... Who will pay $79.95 now when they have been hitting it up at $39.95 for the last few weeks with that date? Emailed them about it because I would hate for their sales to take a dive

That is copied straight from their website... That is my point. They have the wrong date. http://myfun.com.au/Locals-VIP-Pass.aspx?WT.mc_id=MFHomepage;Carousel;LocalsVIPPass;060112

So they are advertising the new VIP pass on the myfun website main page... small issue... Grab a Locals VIP Pass and you'll get... - Unlimited entry to the Big 3 Theme Parks for locals until June 30 2012 The Locals VIP Pass gives you unlimited entry to Warner Bros. Movie World, Sea World and Wet'n'Wild Water World until 30 June 2012 inclusive. This is going to be the biggest year of theme park fun yet with the world's first SpongeBob ParadePants which is now open at Sea World as well as the out of this world GREEN LANTERN Coaster now open at Movie World. So for the biggest year of fun buy your Locals VIP Pass now! So you can pay $79.95 and get 39 days entry to the parkz... I think someone in marketing or website design needs a talking to...

Water wasn't going on Superman last Thursday either. Seems they got it going for a week and then stopped again.

As soon as I heard I was hoping back to cartoons. There is so much they can do in the cartoon world they can't do with a live action film.

They can do whatever they want outside of the park... Hell one of the women from PASS was on set performing the Knopinski role up to 8 months pregnant. Again I don't care, I am glad they are getting rid of it. Just presenting a comment my wife made that, from a pregnant womans point of view, it is annoying that they are temporarily closing one of the only 2 things she can do. She understands it will reopen in late June, just voicing her opinion at the current situation.

Swing and miss? He was right... Although he didn't realise it.

I know this, she knows this, and I'm glad they are getting rid of JTTCOTE, just means there is no point in us heading down (just the two of us) for the next month or so as she will have almost nothing to do except at 11 and 1:50. Personally I agree that they have enough JL stuff going on, can't wait to see what they have to offer this time.

Just informed the wife of this... She is not happy as it is the only thing other than HWSD she can do at MW being pregnant.

Do you have the green loading thing and then it does nothing? I have been getting that a lot lately. I wish I could do SE 10 times in a row... 3 times and I'm ready to pass out. Just found out from friends we are all heading down in 2 weeks. Will go again and see how we fare.

I posted earlier that people near me on the coaster complained of the same issue I had (leg pain and a headache). The launch post was related to me not just posting negatives and referred to Superman. Once again I will explain to those of you that did not understand earlier... This post was related to my experience on this occasion. Because it was not a positive post people got up in arms about it. I stated I had two experiences on the ride where the only issue was the leg pain, and that after the maintenance I had further issues, and that IN MY OPINION it is, IN IT'S CURRENT STATE, (the latest experience I had) it is not better than Lethal Weapon.

The posts I quoted before are in relation to the ride and themeing as a whole. I stand by that the retheme was needed and it has brought enjoyment back into a ride theme that was dated. (Being a batman fan since young also drags me in.) The coaster and carriage itself is where my issues lay.

I meant if you enter through the resort and cross the tracks at the very back of the park. Sorry I wasn;t clearer.

That is an interesting point. I think the monorail is a better option as it circles the entire park. For the train you had to walk to almost halfway before you could get on. Same sort of thing affects the Skyway only running 2/3 of the way. Query: With the fence they have placed over the tracks at the back of the park have they also placed concrete over the tracks?

The issue is when there is a disagreeance in regards to something and others seem to try and wipe the negatives. Yes I believe everyone should experience the ride for themselves and make their own decision based on their experience. I am not saying the ride is always the same, I am saying from my experience what I found it to be. How am I saying those positives are negative? I don't understand.

This was in reference to my first 2 rides and was posted prior to the third ride. As you can see, I didn't say it was better back then either. On the day a park does something that I find amazing I will sing their praises. Until such time I wont. People don't like something they voice their opinion as do those that like something. But I will work to squash an impression that the ride is not worse of being imparted onto others because I do believe that to be very much not true. See what I did there? We both have an opposing view. I'm not going to squash your opinion and I understand that you believe it is great. You don't seem to understand that I don't and this is again the pressing issue in these forums that if someone does not comform to your opinions (not you specifically, I mean anyone) that you try to make their ideas worth spit in the eyes of others.

I did not "admit the new train is better". I stated as you quoted "I rode it twice after it reopened as Arkham and had no issues other than tightness on the legs." I never said it was better so please do not put words in my mouth or twist what I have said to support your thoughts. As I said, no issues pre riding, issues coming into the station. Whether the coaster was the cause or the trigger I cannot say. Saw the doctor Saturday morning. Going back for an xray on Monday to rule out neck injury as I also have a sore jaw that comes and goes. He stated both of these symptoms could point to whiplash. Being that I only have ridden it 3 times I guess it is difficult to really determine. Yes the lack of headbanging is lovely. Yes it does give a new feel to the ride. It doesn't really have the upper body freedom that they were on about. I will reserve any further judgement on the seating until such time I have had family and friends ride and give their feedback after they have attended in the coming months. Apologies, I misunderstood your reference to Batman the ride. As I stated previously though, travelling overseas to attend theme parks is not something that is financially an option for us.

I can't wait until our new addition is old enough to go through that jungle gym setup. I want an excuse to go through it.

The station near the sealion theatre and at the waterpark. Not sure if there were ever any other stops.

Debate: a discussion, as of a public question in an assembly, involving opposing viewpoints. Obviously there is a debate on it being better than Lethal Weapon as in its current situation I don't believe it is. I have an opposing viewpoint to you as you think it is... explain how there is no debate. I rode it as Lethal Weapon, while I had sore ears afterwards it was fine within a minute or so.. I rode it twice after it reopened as Arkham and had no issues other than tightness on the legs. I rode it after the 2 days maintenance when I noticed a difference and I received a headache which is still present 3 days later. Yes I rode Batman and Batman 2 and never had an issue with either. FYI: I know that some rides I cannot do and so I don't ride them. Anything with a continuous spinning motion such as the Reef Diver, Avalanche, hell sometimes even a Merry Go Round, makes me dizzy to the point I vomit and lose consciousness. ("Every time Catherine revved up the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour or so..." for those National Lampooners out there.) I don't go on many, if any, of the rides at the Ekka as I know that majority of those push my body to its limits. I have cracked 3 ribs on the aqua8racer at WnW. It was a one time issue that resulted in my injury as was the Superman harness error. I recovered from both and had no further issues on either attraction. Who is to say that I might go on Arkham again and not have a single issue? In this instance that I have mentioned I was injured. Do I hold MW responsible? No. I chose to go on the ride and was injured as a result. It would be like saying guns kill people and spoons make people fat... People around me commented and I posted here, simple as that. I will ride it again once I am feeling up to it as "Why do we fall down? To learn how to pick ourselves up again." Oh, and the orange tag thing is not aimed at you directly, more a general observation based on experiences.

We were in the front seats and I was assisting my wife with her harness as attendants don't press hers as tight as she likes. I sat down after helping her and the attendant pushed my harness down before I had chance to sit comfortably let alone pull down my own harness. Unfortunately going overseas to theme parks is not something that my wife and I can afford to do at this point in our lives. Yes but you rely heavily on the WipeOut harness at many points of the ride. It should be tight, however I have never found it to be uncomfortable or to have pain in my legs afterwards.
