I'm not sure what you mean, the ride was closed about a week ago for the day, the next time I saw it part of the batman theming was gone, is there any reason for them to close it just so they can take that part off?Just a refurb I think you'll find. Better that they keep the ride running without the canopy rather than close it for the duration.
-
I didn't even know they had one. Looks pretty "eh" compared to the aqualoop, too. Point taken, makes a bit more sense now.Except then DW would have been able to trumpet the 'looping' slide bit a bit more than they could have with WnW getting one at almost the same time...
-
That would annoy me to no end. Right when they're about to release The Hobbit, too. I can't begin to express how much I want some Sherlock Holmes representation at MW.If removing HWSD is correct and replacing with a Batman show it adds fuel to the idea previously mentioned in the forums of turning MW into a new park completely DC themed.
-
I think my job follows me wherever I go, we say BM more times in a day than we do Windows Installations. BT replacement.Bermuda Miangle??? Poor abbreviations strike again!
-
I'd guess they're just re-theming it to Justice League. The Wayne Manor theme out the front of the Batman Building is completely gone now.Drove past ME yesterday and the Batman logo/signage has disappeared from the top of Space Shot. Anyone have any ideas why? surely not a re-theme?? Though given Batman has nothing to do with Space if probably could be better themed/named
-
Shorter lines on the good rides. I have to agree though, seems kind of lame when you look at what they've got planned for the other 2 Warner parks, a BM replacement and an Australia-first Astro Blaster (do these have an official name?) ride. Would have had more impact if they'd released a constrictor instead of the aqualoop and announced the aqualoop now.I think its great Wet n Wild is getting something new but i cant quite figure out what good a constrictor will do....

I'll be going this Wednesday so I'll try and get some photos.Demolition has started on BT and they are doing work out the back of dolphin cove and where the old pirate ship was they are starting to fill in some of the ski lake.
-
realistically, how dangerous does this ride look? Just from that photo it seems like the wood would take an awful lot of strain.
-
Whether or not that means the theming will be educational still remains to be seen.What I'm saying is, the Facebook picture actually indicates it will fit in with the Jet Rescue's "educational theme" as it's theme/story involves a monster storm/cyclone/Tsunami in the ad....

I'm specifically referring to the cost of running it in winter. Last visit 2 weeks ago on our way up we didn't see rafts with any more than 3 people on it.Why judge a ride based around its popularity in winter :S And the boats in Mammoth falls can take 6 people, versus 2 on Black hole. Thats why it never gets a queue.
-
I understand that its popular in the summer, but in the winter when waits for the black hole can still reach 5 minutes with 10 people ahead of you we've never even had the chance to go on the mammoth falls with more than 3 people ahead of us during winter for at least 2 years.Mammoth falls now has probably the highest capacity of any ride on the Gold Coast. In the summer it's queue still can reach the bottom of the stairs. The double open slides in summer are still popular, and as much as a dark Mammoth would be awesome, I just don't think it's worth the hassle.
-
I don't think they should make a Watercoaster, it's personal preference but when I'm on a water ride I want to feel like I'm actually boating along, not just going along a track that happens to be in water. I think they should demolish the volcano/s only and make another awesome water darkride.
-
Simply put, complaints.The park in winter also runs alternate slides. One slide for one hour, then another for an hour. Why couldn't they just do the same as they do with their other slides?
However in winter it would still be completely barren. I happened to inquire through Email when the Mammoth Plunge was moved to Seaworld, they specifically stated "issues with running 2 different slides during winter months" was their reasoning.If they changed it up a bit, the popularity of the ride would increase as people would want to experience the new side of it.
-
That creates problems with running the ride, when the slide's popularity started to dwindle that was when they sent the mammoth plunge to SeaWorld Resort, having both sides be mirrored identical slides meant that on quiet days they could close one side and not have any guests complaining that they want to ride the other. With the rides even lower popularity I doubt they'll be changing that now.Slightly off topic, but I'd really like to see them update one of their Mammoth slides, keep one side open, but enclose the other, add some lighting effects and music, I think it would make two different experiences, for what is two of the same slide.
-
Yes please, walking up the flumes and seeing that dirty empty space is almost as bad as the Bermuda Triangle load dock.A terror canyon replacement? Just a suggestion as my first post in months.
-
It was quite a nostalgic sight, Batman ride was one of my favourites since I was a kid and Batman ride 2 became another favourite when I was a bit older. I'm pretty sure they only started working on it that day since it was untouched in the morning.I have some pics from this and will update latter

Yeah conversion services are pure ripoffs, they use hardware and software than anyone can get for $50 at most and charge you $100+ per DVD.I was curious what sort of technology is used to convert VHS to DVD so I did a google, and it looks like you can get it done in Brisbane at this place: http://www.filmcopyc...r-1-Offer).html Better get'er converted.

I dunno, I reckon the ride's too loud to warrant use of the speakers after the hill. And wouldn't stair speakers cause sync issues? having to organize speakers so that every person can hear every word moving up the hill sounds difficult.Good to hear. Yet underwhelming if it's only up the lift hill, could have just whacked some speakers on the stairs.
-
Wasn't that because the park was sold to a more ambitious owner?It's kinda strange to consider that in 1997 when Dreamworld built the world's tallest and fastest ride, the park's other two coasters were a custom mouse and a Meisho looper, not exactly the sort of park you'd expect to build such an ambitious ride.
-
Yes they're taking pieces off of the Wayne Manor exterior right next to Space Shot.Are you talking about pieces of the Wayne manor facade being removed or the actual simulator building? I'm hoping they will change the existing facade and not just leave it as is
-
Remember the Looney Tunes River ride and Bermuda Triangle, it's very easy to make a good Water Ride without high drops by keeping the emphasis away from the drop.Just trying to remember, but Seaworld have a height restriction on their attractions dont they? I wonder if a water coaster would go over that?
-
I popped in today for a few hours after a quiet day at Wet N Wild, and while going to the Green Lantern queue area I noticed that the old Batman ride queue area and the old batman building are blocked off, and pieces of the batman building are being removed. Hopefully a new building comes with some more specific info on the ride, can't wait to see it.
-
Sounds like a worthy successor to me, can't wait to see this in action. Where'd you get this info, anyway? Not even attendants at the closed Green Lantern assumed/knew/read about that much.From what I've read I'm starting to believe the ride will resemble more the Spiderman ride on a smaller roomed scale and with laser targets now. It's obvious there's going to be some motion simulator sequences(this was mentioned in that article) as well as live props to shoot. The description of the 8 screen setup is leading me to believe the trains actually "stop" in front of the screens(makes sense as the 3D would be easier to see) and start moving and shaking along with on screen action as a motion simulator usually does.
-
My question would be: Are they dumb, or is it not just going to be a copy and paste job of Buzz and Toy Story Mania? I'd like to see it actually have that scooby-doo level of "thrill" while still having to shoot lots of targets.Just noticed JL has been moved into the 'Thrills' section on the Movieworld website
