The first ride closure for maintenance for this year has been posted: Justice League 3D - Closed for scheduled maintenance on Monday 19th February and will re-open on Monday 12th March 2018

For people who have ridden it now... Has this refurb made the ride better (before theming was removed) or worse? Im glad they’ve mostly replaced what was there and tried to improve on it with screens. But the fact there is no more Scooby at all, and the videos are poor quality, make this ride come across something that was budget, when in reality this ride was world class. Hopefully they’ve had some issues (much like they did with WWF effects when it reopened, but really they should not be having these issues. If the ride isn’t ready, don’t open it until it is), and the these lighting and screen visual issues are resolved soon

I think 18 months is too long. They should try get another new one for in time for Christmas next year as well.

From all that I’ve seen of it so far through photos, it does look really good. Just an idea, If it proves popular and they continue to have a new exhibit every 6-12 months, it would be good to relocate to the current dodgems area, and get rid of all those arcade games (Just like they did with HP and Matrix). They could then even have two running at once. And that frees up the sound stage, if they ever decide to bring back a show

Yes, but the way MW do their dates on maintenance. The date shown is the day it reopens. DW do it the opposite, and the date shown is the last day of maintenance

The ride reopens on Saturday

Heres the official TVC for the ride. I think it’s great and marketing idea is pretty cool. Not so sure the music choice was right though.

Good to see it was placed really well and fits into its surrounds 🤨

Update from early November. Pretty much the entire land is flat now, with only a small part of the reservoir and channel to go. There is about 6,600m squared of land here that's been cleared. The dirt stockpile is in the Blue Lagoon.

Image from early November. This expansion is using a lot more land than I originally expected, which is great to see. I really do hope that they either install a new tower for slides, or leave some land free for a future attraction. If they just do a lazy river (adventure), what ever it is, and have cabanas, etc then that leaves them no more land for future attractions. Unless they remove the Shell (which I really hope they do, wasted space)

Entry signage up (TPSN) And the Polar Express float is on Main Street outside Ricks. So either they have some new floats and want to make photo opportunities with the existing ones OR budget cuts

A new partnership has started today, replacing R.W. Williams. They are now with the Australian clothing company, Ringers Western. The sign on the roof showing the R.W. Williams logo has already been replaced with Ringers Western.

Just got an email and attraction is opening December 12

Got an email and attraction is opening December 13

Just got an email, and it will be opening December 13

They’ve now placed the Village Roadshow logo on the roof, in the same spot that previous sponsors were

I went on a river boat ride that goes through animal enclosures at the Singapore River Safari. And honestly, it was really crap and not exciting in any way. The animals were beautiful, but you don’t get enough time to see them, and some of them hide so you can’t try to find them. If they go with this idea, it will probably be disappointing as they are hard to pull off and make it a good enough environment for the animals too

The countdown clock and opening date are now gone

Does that mean to access GD you have to go through Corroboree?

At SW, the pass entry turnstiles have been removed

A roller door has been installed on the entrance, and there is aquaman images to the left of the entrance. Image is just showing the top of part of it

A few more photos I got this morning And the top of the lighthouse is now in the grave yard
