Well, at least we know it will open in the next 12 days.

This isn't really anyway of predicting when they will update it. I used to think it was every couple of months, but then some times it's been 6 months, and then other times, just a month. And some years and locations get more updates than others

I went to MW mid week and walked past it, and it looks good. Despite it being an extension, it isn't enclosed and joined up with the existing Bar. Instead the building is just the kitchen, which can be seen through a window which covers the length of one side of the building, and the registers. There is still seating under shade sales. A connection between the new outside and inside Bar is done through a roof.

From MWs Instagram: Dirty Harrys opens tomorrow.

I thought the council owned the carpark, and MW leased it from them.

I can't imagine that MW would build an attraction on the carpark or in the overflow area, as the carpark isn't MWs property, it's the councils. And yes there was a proposal for an attraction to be built on the overflow area, but maybe the reason for that never going ahead was because the council didn't approve of it, and would remove an area of land which is used for additional parking for boat shows, Christmas carols, etc.

So maybe this World Best Attraction, is in fact a whole new themed area, with world class theming, and features a rollercoaster and a number of other attractions.

But it may be getting a fresh paint of coat. It just won't be changing colour.

I really like GL and think the forces and angles are good. And I'm glad that it is slow, because otherwise the turns and inversions wouldn't be as intense. i haven't been on other versions of this ride anywhere else, so I can't compare. And I wouldn't say it's world class, but i see it as a must when you visit MW.

^They could, but considering SW recently got one and are both a part of VRTP, I can't imagine that happening. A coaster in the Wild West area would be good. I think for now we had enough superhero rides. To bring more life to the Wild West area of the park, another ride needs to be added. And there is plenty of space for a 'World Class' ride

TPSN posted this photo. Confirms that it is an extension to the Dirty Harry's Bar:

^The reason they got rid of it was because, particularly in Summer it was really hot in the space. If the enclosed the queue line, then they could have installed air conditioners. But the themed queue area was narrow and confined. They opened up the big door at the end to try and increase airflow, and it did help, but it was still hot in the confined space. For a while it was just blocked off, and on my last visit it was removed, but no queue rails had been installed.

Tailspin has just come back from a maintenance period, so has anyone noticed if the plane that was removed has been fixed and reinstalled?

Are you really going to start another topic on this again ...

^Yeah Antman is Marvel, so they wouldn't get him.

Im lead to believe that Superman is making a return to MW. They are currently looking for a male performer to be 'one of the worlds greatest superheroes coming soon to the park'. Applications close on the 13th Novemeber, so maybe we will see him make a return at Christmas.

The GL logo was lit up last night and all of today as well, something I haven't seen in a while

I don't often it food at theme parks, and will just bring my own and go out to the car to eat it. But the food I've had different experiences. I expect the prices to be what they are, even if it isn't worth that much, but theme parks have always had food at a higher price. The other week I had to calamari and chips at SW (from up near the front gate), the chips were fine, but calamari wasn't the best. It was $14, and it didn't overly fill me either. But at MW and DW I've had pretty good experiences. I've had a couple of different burgers from the Gotham City and have had the Ricks Cafe Buffet, and I thought they were both really good, good price and filling, particularly Ricks Cafe. Since DW have upgraded their food outlets, I find the ones that they have, the food choices and quality is much better. At DW I've had a slice of pizza from Doughs Bros, and the one slice is huge and I would class as half of a normal size pizza. It was filling, good quality and had a reasonable price.

Yeah it is a massive pain, and I've learnt that you need to park on the far right or on the grass. If you park close to the park gate it takes a very long time, took one of my friends 90 minutes to get out. When I've gone past MW at about 6, trying to get into the park seems rediculous. I do think they should add another entry point (cutting the garden bed just past the MW sign) and another couple of exit point (cut through the garden bed). But the carpark is owned by council and MW lease it from that, so maybe modifying the garden beds isn't possible.
