Today's update:

^Hero mazes in that new building next to WWF, other mazes in sound stage and Dodgems?

Through the general enquirers door to the left as you leave.

I haven't been to DW for a couple of months, and was surprised in how much they'd grown since I last saw them. And also surprised how high some of the walls are, and how much concrete there is. But I'm sure once it's all finished it will look great. And a side note, a Pokemon pop up stand is at the front of the park:

Site offices and a skip have arrived. And the marketplace has been fenced off from the inside:

For anyone wondering, you get the image when you click on the 'Book Now' on the tours and extras page: https://frightnights.com.au/tours-and-extras.aspx

What does it mean?

I am surprised they've already released some info about FN already, usually we don't really hear anything until late August.

I noticed that. It's highlighted for available purchase dates, but you can't actually click it. Has FN always been on Halloween as well, no matter the day? Or in the past only if its been on the weekend?

The website is live: https://frightnights.com.au We obviously know lasts years new mazes are returning. The Gotham Hall precinct is returning, with 3 new precincts. The dates for this year are: October 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 28 and 29. The Horror Film Festival is returning. The rides that will be open are: SE, AA, SDSC, Batwing and DD (So I'm assuming the new are will be open before or on October 1st).

I agree with you @Slick. When I've been on TPR, it feels really outdated, and considering how big the company is, compared Parkz is so much better and nicer. And I think yours is a really nice site to. I much prefer DWs newer look compared to the previous version, and I do like MWs, etc, but a couple of elements could be done better, such as the park maps.

I only ever make the boosts for a couple of days, and only for posts that I feel like are important, and always target every age.

While I sat for about 10 minutes for them to test DD, I realised how many people thought WWF was still open, and thought there was another access to it. I thought people were exaggerating the amount of people thought they could get to it, but I was wrong. Having the sign where it is is fine. But it needs to say that WWF is closed, cos people were thinking it was for DD.

Some good point from iwerks, and agree with not posting too much a day. I don't like when some pages post tonnes every day. Today was the most posts made on my page in a while, mainly because I hadn't posted an update on doomsday in a week. And even $5 is fine to promote a post is a good amount, and can push a posts reach up a few hundred people.

I went in this afternoon, and finally saw it being tested. Looks like a really good ride, and did see the floor drop: This big white box is pretty ugly though, hopefully they cover it once testing is complete.

I agree with you @Theme Park Girl. And you've got to remember @Theme Park Ninja it does take time. I've been running my page for almost six years now, and its only in the past couple of years I've seen a real increase, especially this year. I'm just passing 4,500 likes, and that may not be overly many when compared to TPSN who are about to hit 9,000 likes and has been doing it a couple years less than me. But I've found my own style for the page, know what people do and don't want to see, and I've learnt how to present my posts. I don't post things that are unnecessary that don't directly link to our parks. I know the focus of the page, who I'm targeting and I stick with it. And I think that's why I'm still going and my page is starting to get more popular. It's fine if people don't agree with what I've just said, but that's my opinion and what I've learnt in the past six years. And it's a shame that some of the smaller pages out there, who do brilliant coverage and have taken some great photos, aren't getting as many likes, but if they keep at it, they will eventually get there. If you want to keep a page going, why don't you rebrand your current page to Theme Parks Australia, delete all unwanted posts or references to Theme Parks World, or The Ninja. Then you've still got those likes, and find a style for your page, what do you want to show, and stick with it. Hope this helps you.

I wish they'd just get ride of that post with the lanterns on it...

Just rematched the video released about the tours and it says 8.

I thought it was only 8 people per group?

^This has been discussed before. And it would only really work if there was a ride on that land, and for a while it was believed the coaster could be going there. But as they've now building a big shed there, its unlikely. I'd say the reason is because that is where the entry to the queue line is. But they may put it on the other side to, with something between them so it doesn't look strange.

Having something in the queue where you could pay for it is a pretty good idea. But I do hope they don't charge $10 for it. I just don't see that worth paying for. $5 for one time would be good, and I'd pay that to try it. And if they had the option for multiple use at a higher price that would be a good option to.

How? I went on it on Sunday, and I didn't think it was anything more special than usual. Except the door opened as you left the station, and the disco room had a few extra colours in the laser.

I'm thinking if its over $5 it will be a no from me. Hopefully it's only a couple of dollars.
