Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
themagician replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I have a feeling because the rides closure was so sudden it probably wasn’t planned to close that early and because nothing has happened their timeline to receiving the replacement tracks, etc was/is a while away. In its last few months of operating there were hardly any cars on track and there doing nearly a full track replacement, which gives me the impression the ride was in such a bad state and became unsafe that it was too risky to keep open -
The Flash: Speed Force coming to Movie World
themagician replied to a topic in Theme Park Discussion
I thought the same thing because for weeks they’ve been teasing an opening date will be announced soon. And then suddenly at 3pm on a rainy Friday it’s officially open. All of the hype for the ride in the recent months has been really good, but they’ve ended it all a bit flat. And I’m so glad they moved on from the untrue statement of it being a ride-within-a-ride in all of their social posts. -

Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
themagician replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
That appeared online a few years ago, but the rumour I heard was the top hat height was being increased and it was changing to LSMs. I think TPSN was where I first saw it, but it was indeed false -

Village roadshow need better merchandise for their rides.
themagician replied to REGIE's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Even just general Warner Bros. Movie World merch is super limited. There’s plenty of WB merch and as you say, general Looney Tunes and DC merch, but that’s about it. A lot of what they’ve got is good too, but it’s not related to the theme park itself, it’s all IP -

I wonder if they triggered this on purpose so they could ‘practice’ an evac. Since it was the last ride of the night and wouldn’t delay any guests waiting in the queue, it makes sense they would practice them so they become efficient when it does happen -

And this is exactly why soft openings are so important. This is what we like to hear! Hopefully it’s not just new ride things and it continues -

The track started to arrive during the April 2020 lockdowns (as it was supposed to open December that year), so 20 months after it arrived as it didn’t open until December 2021. -

It still amazes me how long this actually took. We first saw movement on site in February 2023 and 15 months later, it’s finally going to open. For comparison, it took about 9 months for Surfrider to open after track first arrived at WnW.
