As I said, gold coast theme park fb page said that the creatures do move, with some being controllable. They also said there are sound effects and lighting effects in the inside part. ​No it hasn't been updated. Last update was April 9

They posted saying that it features movable creatures, with some being controllable. I'll be heading down tomorrow to check it out.

Gold Coast Theme Parks posted a number of photos of the attraction today. Here are a few of us them:

I personally don't agree with any of that. The only idea I sort of agree with is using the show stage (red) for a western show (fit the theme of the area). And maybe make use of the second of the building (green) which as far as I'm aware isn't being used. They aren't going to relocate the batwing and I'm not a fan of simulator rides, so I don't think that would be an addition. The park currently has a good variation in roller coasters, with a mild mouse (Scooby-doo) being included. For a park of MWs size, I definitely don't think they need another wild mouse, right next to a mild mouse. I like the idea of the mad max theme. But I feel that should be on the land to the right of the WWF. I think a flat ride would be suitable in the first space of WWF amongst those small buildings (couldn't suggest any ideas though, just a thought).

​Yes. I completely agree with this. And even if they didn't move Red Line, they could make these changes (But best case scenario was if they did move it). If the ride does get an upgrade, they should defiantly make the entrance i lot move noticeable, rather than it being tucked away in the corner.

It seems like a good day at MW. As mentioned in the MW 2015 forum, all effects were working on SE and JL

I think they way the explosion occurs is fine, but it's not that obvious. You see the hem pump tilt and a bit of fire occur, but the most people are concentrating on the cars, so cars cross the line and then suddenly there is an explosion. If they detailed the explosion, or made the fuel pump tilt's fire bigger then that would be good. That at police officer from polic academy is exactly what I was thinking, but maybe if they had a megaphone, the they could control the people to their seats better as well as making funny comments when the camera is on them

Saw the show this morning. Overall I was reasonably impressed with it all. It is a definite improvement from what was there. But I don't think it was quite as good as the original HWSD. The interaction with the crowd was great. Before the show started they had some of the cameras going over the crowd. They even had a kiss cam going a few times. I think it would be good if they had one of the police officers who are in the show, are within the crowd, keeping them entertained even more. Daffy also made an appearance in the crowd. The set was also a good improvent, but still isn't perfect. The explosion timing was also not perfect.

Went to MW this morning and I noticed a few good things. The water on SE is working again, and just before the launch the blue circle that goes across the wall is working and the audio is louder now. On JL there was a bit more smoke than usual and the sound effects were louder.

The fountain is looking really good now. Great to hear the thunder effects are back. And the ABC world is also looking good. Thumbs up to DW

The sneak peaks of the inside area are very promising. The image of the jellyfish hanging from the sealing with the lighting, I think looks really good.

Well at least that sort of makes more sense than the previous version

I found these photos on Instagram giving a closer look at parts of COTD:

Someone asked MW on FB about the show and they said the name is still Hollywood Stunt Driver 2, but they have changed everything else

Another sneak peek posted by SW on FB

It seems that the show is still called 'Hollywood Stunt Driver 2', so maybe the film they make is the Inner City 500 (that's if they are making a film in the show). I'm imagining that these two guys at the front would be the comedy part of the show. I'm really hoping it is an improvement on the last one. (photo source: theme park social network)

^They haven't been used since the Planet SOS 4D show

I'm fairly sure it has said that since the show started last year and they haven't updated it. On the line below it says there are Aries stunts (referring to the motor bikes that aren't in the show any more)

Last time I went on it (about a month ago), that scooby wasn't moving his mouth, but his whole body was shaking slightly as the audio played.

I don't know whether that was an error, or he knows something we don't

As long as if the show has a good storey line, the theming has been fixed up (or at least a lot better than what it was) then it will be an improvement. I'm hoping they introduce some forms of comedy to the show again as well.

^I'm pretty sure DW just combined the areas as on the park map it just say Gold Rush Country. But I don't have a major issue with that area. With Ocean Parade, if they removed the Redline then I think the area is fine. I think Zombie Evilution does have some link to the area with the theming of the exterior or the building. They do need to extend the blue ground work around all of Ocean Parade however. If Redline was moved to the MDMC food stall, it would make more sense. If the new V8 supercar attractions were in this area as well it would create a new motorsport themed area. For the TOT, because it doesn't link to any of the themed areas surrounding its entrance, if they moved the entrance pathway to start from the MDMC area, it may provide more of a link to the possible motorsport area, rather than the Tiger Island/ABC Kids area. However I don't know if that would be possible, just a thought

I personally think that because it goes slower, it is better. At moments such as: the first turn to the left after the first brake section and the moments when you go upside down; these are more thrilling because of the slower speed. It adds to the thrill of the ride and can make me feel like you are going to fall out, as the feeling I get when I ride the BuzzSaw.

^When i went to MW last month, I'm fairly sure that the fence didn't have the grass imaging on it and usually that is a sign that something is happening to that space.

Wonder what could be going on here?
