Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
themagician replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
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. -
That’s good they’ve gone to the effort to adding speakers and bringing back music to the area (because it definitely needed it). Maybe im being too harsh, but that feels like such a half assed effort of hanging speakers from a tree. Why not actually mounted them to a wall or somewhere more inconspicuous so you can’t see them. That tree is already cluttered with stuff, it didn’t need more adding to it. The area needed music, but if this is the best they can do, maybe they shouldn’t have bothered. I don’t know! (someone feel free to call me out if that too harsh). It’s just disappointing to see this is how the park is managed now and they seem to respond to feedback in a panic and just see what sticks.

A few weeks ago Movie World shared on their social media a general ‘park update’ (which was released during the time when they were getting a lot of backlash as only a couple rides were open). Something that I haven’t yet seen discussed is the comment they make at the bottom of the post that states “a new dining experience, in park theming enhancements and experiences and so much more” I’m hoping the new dining experience is that of a ‘themed’ sit down dining experience and not just another quick serve outlet. And it’s good to hear they want to add theming enhancements and experiences, but I hope that includes fixing and refurbishing the park as it currently is because as already highlighted, the parks got a lot of issues.

The Flash: Speed Force coming to Movie World

Yes I have and I think it gets lost amongst sumperan. Yes the yellow helps, but that doesn’t make it stand out -

The Flash: Speed Force coming to Movie World
themagician replied to a topic in Theme Park Discussion
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. -
Dreamworld Maintenance Schedule 2024

Despite already closing for maintenance this year and only reopening a few weeks ago, Serpent Slayer has unexpectedly closed and for a few months The ride hasn’t operated the hard style mode for a few weeks now, so this could be in response to resolving that issue -
New Roxy Theatre 4D Show coming to Movie World in 2024
themagician replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Based off the catalogue of movies avaiable in the link below, I suspect it will DC League of Super Pets https://simex-iwerks.com/shows/see-all-top-4d-experiences/ -

Doomsday now has no reopening date. Could this finally be the end of the rides life? It wouldn’t surprise me if they wait until after Flash opens before quietly removing the ride from the website entirely -

The parks queue wait time site, for at least the first hour of the morning they were down. -
Tiger Island Redevelopment - STAGE 1
themagician replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
My eyes. So no, I don’t have any evidence, but from my experiences when visiting the park at times of the day the animal area can have just as many people if not more as in tiger island. And I’m not saying through shows, but tiger island isn’t a massive area compared to the wildlife area. -

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. -

I’d assume it’s ‘due to guest feedback’
