  1. As for the complaint, well, i think its justified. I know all you technical heads can appreciate the money and effort that has gone into this attraction. But the bottom line is that the ride just isnt meeting peoples expectations. People want to expereience some sort of thrill factor on a ride and to be fair there really isnt any. obviously like gazza said, you couldnt have shooting segments of the ride fast, but maybe parts inbetween segments could be a little more thrilling. And i stand by my last comment, Movieworld has not done themselves ANY favours running technical rehearsals during school holidays. And i do not believe they should be advertising this as a thrill ride.

    Agreed - I didn't expect it to be Green Lantern or Superman Escape, but for an end-of-the-world style simulation, I didn't feel any rush or panic.

    as for his disappointment, aren't we still saying 'technical rehearsals' ??? You can't judge them while that signs up there - thats like a get-out-of-jail-free-card

    I didn't see any signs up, maybe I didn't look hard enough.

    Limited time! you get 3-4 months off a year! the rest of us get 3-4 weeks! if were lucky ,and then you get pupil free days, i wish i could get customer free days and still get paid.

    I think you'll find it's just under 3 months. Of which I spend about 1 month reviewing assessments and planning and generally I spend most of the rest of it working at school holiday programs. Personally I'd survive without Pupil Free Days - rather than getting to spend time with the kids (which is what I got into the job for) I have to spend the whole day doing professional development; listening to leading teachers get excited over performance data or hearing about the latest way to teach a kid to count. People need to get over this idea they have of the glorious relaxing teacher job. I love it, but it's *** exhausting.
  2. I went to MovieWorld over the school holidays and was really excited about this new ride. Thrilling 3D Interactive JL shooter, YAY!!! So after the 8 of us (20, 21, 24, 24, 25, 26, 50 and 67 years old) lined up for an hour and a half, we sat through the buggiest, slowest, most disappointing experience I have had to memory. I love all things DC/Marvel, but lining up for that long for something half-baked really left a shitty taste in my mouth. I probably wouldn't have been as disappointed if I didn't have to wait that long, or if the ride had actually worked properly (a few screens didn't work, the guns didn't seem to work all the time), but I felt ripped off. I know it was school holidays (I'm a teacher, so I'm limited in the times I can make it up to QLD - I won't ever be going back to MovieWorld in school holidays!) but still, let the public know what they're in for.
