Hate to say it, but… yuk.
So for clarification, yuck to Autism Awareness? Lovely sentiment!

'm hyped of MW's chance, of having an extra ride open, but if you go by @ShakeShacktheory, Flash will close each year when Superman & Batwing closes for maintenance, which doesn't fix the issues MW have every February-March.
When did I say it will close with them each year?
I said they were closed to assist with the build, not it's annual maintenance.

They're now gaslighting guests by gaslighting other guests!
The amount of attractions that go down purely due to guest behaviour is insane. How is that gaslighting them?
The amount of times I've seen West have to evacuate because some numpty jumped the fence to retrieve a lost item is next level. Crawl back into your little hole king.
-
The point I am making is, these works are all been done at the same time to minimise the downtime later in the year. Would this not make more sense, if you're already servicing the attractions, to do the rest of the works required at the same time?

Superman - down, for maintenance but apparently also to pour some concrete and get the rest of Flash ready to go. Ok, fair enough if its necessary, but concrete surfacing in an area that is normally guest accessible during ride operation doesn't prevent SE from running. Flash's area in the helix is also going to be guest accessible when opened, so some level of work could continue whilst Superman ran too. If the ride maintenance itself is done, getting SE back online should be a priority when the park is where it is. If it means closing it again later (When less other things in park are offline) then so be it.
The pour taking place is throughout the entire 'plaza' area outside of Superman, including around all of the supports, and the exit ramp. The backside of the entire ride envelope is also open currently to allow for trucks, materials and so on to enter for flash, obviously you can't run the attraction without any fencing.
Flash's area will be guest accessible in certain areas, but that doesn't involve cranes and so on within the Superman footprint.

Batwing has gone through it's annual rebuild, and is nearing completion for the photos we've seen posted online, but there are as far as I'm aware, a lot of temp services running through that area.

MW only having 2 big rides open.
ShakeShack "It's fine"
ShakeShack " Look at DW"
Standard dribble from you champ.
Point I'm making is, Village are/were being slammed for closing attractions for 2 months for maintenance, "but Dreamworld don't do it", yet I point out that they in fact do. Perhaps you can't see your bias, but it's draining and boring.

It's not, but the difference is DW schedule their maintence so it's spaced out throughout the year so there aren't multiple major rides closed for months at the same time. While currently MW have four major attractions closed (Scooby being one and Doomsday now not having a reopening date).
It seems the 1-2 month closures are the normal now (due to the new requirements post the river rapids investigation), but what the parks need to do is manage their timing and try and reduce the mutli-ride downtime as much as possible.
Really feels like you're moving the goal posts here...
Superman and Batwing have both been down to aid construction of both Flash AND Oz. Extended more so than their usual periods. From what you can see, a large amount of concreting has been done around Superman's supports to aid with Oz, if this wasn't done now (possibly extending it's closure) then it would have had to go down again later in the year for it. Which would you prefer?
I'd hardly call Doomsday a major attraction.

I think I saw @Ogre's latest video that also had western cafe with the QR codes, so I guess it is park wide. I guess we can expect it to come to Dockside Tavern and the other Sea World restaurants soon if not already, if its not there I guess they will be trialling it at MW and bringing it to SW later.
All of MW's outlets have had this since the end of last year.

Serpent Slayer is closed for what i guess is they are waiting on a part (it reopened only able to operate in mild mode.)
the claw is 20 years old this year, don’t rides need extra work done every 10 years?
5 rides ≠ every attraction in the park. i’m not sure why Motorcoaster, Shockwave and Kenny’s are needing the extra maintenance though.
Last year it was the same, Serpent Slayer, Claw, The Gold Coaster, Motocoaster and Shockwave all closed for 2+ months. Movie World's in comparison was far less.
Why is it ok for Dreamworld, but not Movie World?

Also, Village with this 2-month maintenance bs for every ride has to be about saving money. Dreamworld the only rides that take that long is Gold coaster and if it's a major refurb.
Yikes, this comment didn't age well, did it?
Claw, Motocoaster, Kenny's Flyers, Shockwave and now Serpent Slayer are closed for 2 months or more this year...

Hate To be that Guy, but where did you source this information from?
If Flash wasn't a knee-jerk reaction to Scooby's problems, and something that had been planned for any period of time (which seems unlikely given they refurbed and rebuilt it up the road before moving it over), the absolute dogshit attempt of village to theme it is even more of a joke then the 2D comic art would suggest to the untrained eye.
And where else could have they reasonably put it in the park?
All signs point to: Scooby carking it -> oh crap we didn't plan for the refurbishment of it at the end of its natural life cycle -> we have an extra ride up the road -> bring it down -> put it in superman's helix so we can attach some bullshit marketing slogan to the ride -> fail to open it in a timely fashion during availability crises.
IMO, it would have made more sense to remove doomsday and put it in that plot if space permitted, but i guess 'closest roller coaster ride to a western themed log flume in the southern hemisphere' doesn't have the same ring as ' first ride within a ride' even if the former is more true...
You're working on an awful lot of assumptions here...
1 hour ago, themagician said:I don’t think in any situation, putting the flash (a red coaster) within Superman (a red coaster) was a good idea. Superman towers over Flash making it look so insignificant and not exciting. At WnW it towered over anything that was nearby and it made it look impressive, but at MW it isn’t. And with it tangled within Superman’s track I’d say guests are going to get confused with what coaster is what. It doesn’t matter that Superman is nearly 20 years old and there’s entry signage, people still get confused with this sort of thing. The Flash at MW (in my opinion) was not the right decision, but having it within Superman was a terrible idea.
I guess good thing the coaster is both Red & Yellow then.. Have you seen this in person? There is no way it goes unnoticed, especially from within the Superman Escape 'plaza', you would have full view of the attraction & station.

The whole animal area is still just as popular as tiger island (even for the non-international tourists). I think it’s a great way to break up your (full day) visit to the park. It offers something different to the other parks and as the park are pushing more towards being family focused, it’s perfect for that demographic. They’ve got plenty of other land for plenty more rides.
Just as popular hey? What's your source for this?

It’s SWs turn for ridiculous amount of ride closures. Storm, Jet Rescue, Trident & Vortex all currently closed. This only leaves Leviathan, so hopefully that doesn’t go down as well.
Where did you find this information?
Boating School Blast and Trident are the only two attractions currently down.

@DaptoFunlandGuyinteresting. It’s been a few months since I last went, but it’s a shame to hear it’s not as good as it used to be. I was hoping they would’ve simply made the markets better with the addition of rides on top of what they already had.
Have the crowd levels dropped to?
Not Dapto, but can answers.
My recent visit was much the same as his, no more than 8 vendors, including those run/owned by Dreamworld across the entire event. There was next to no crowd, couple hundred would be a big stretch.

So, just before WWF/Doomsday’s path, with the It Maze building façade in the background? If so, that’s an interesting location if Superman were to indeed be the main entrance & not the assumed ‘secondary’ one near Scooby.
Still, billboard could be better. At least painting the frame in a less bright/clashy colour.
That billboard has been there for years. You're reading into it's placement far to much.

This looks great. Far better than an abandoned ride.

Surprised that they weren't sold off in that BOH auction village ran many years ago, probably a licensing thing though
There's even more than what's currently on display. All in pretty decent condition considering their age.
There's a few more that will be out before Christmas too!

Movie World have just shared a video teasing the Mrs Claus' Christmas Feast at this year’s White Christmas and in the video I saw these
These could just be new Looney Tunes figures they’ve had made, but to me they greatly resembled the former animatronics/figures that they had on the Looney Tunes River Ride. Can anyone confirm or agree that these could be those said figures from the classic ride?
Correct yes. These are all from the original attraction.

It doesn't matter how many extra actors they add to DCeased. The lighting sucked and the oversized rooms, created no atmosphere. Plus no real thought or direction went into the actors.
I was addressing one of your complaints, now the goal posts have moved...
Lighting in the maze was also adjusted over the last week. Some people are stating the rooms are so small that people are getting hit, others are saying they're oversized. Which is it?

But they were all short, which may or may not have correlated to the quality - less rooms/less actors/less scenes = more $$ to put into each scene.
Are the parks you are comparing to of equal size, market, attendance and revenue?
This years mazes have more rooms than the majority of their predecessors. DCeased is far bigger than IT was as well.
More actors have also been added to majority of the mazes between week 1 and week 2. -

My conclusion - The Underground Club has missed the mark.
Would have done better putting some escape rooms or another maze in there.
Sadly there is a whole range of issues, stopping them from using that building for anything more than they currently are.

I cant see why anyone would want to spend their night inside some room listening to some radio metro djs
Club Blood years ago was never popular and its only saving grace was you could get a drink and set on the terrace and watch all the action in the street
It seems as though it was created to be a "rest" space, whilst being somewhat exclusive. It's obviously missed the mark, but on the positive side, hopefully this pushes them to reintroduce UTT.

I haven't seen any pics of this, but from the sounds of it - it sounds like your usual Aussie WH&S requirements due to fall risk.
Jaggs posted the attached picture on his page earlier this week. Strangely there is only new railings on the left side of the building and not the right. Generally access to this roof has only ever needed fall arrest harnesses, and not railings.
Not sure what is going on with the windows either, but it looks extremely crap imo.

Perhaps they should spend more time and effort on this, and less on the worst marketing campaign I've ever seen from our theme parks...
