Jet Resuce is Closed for maintenance from Mon 2nd Feb and will re-open Mon 16th Mar 2015.

Yes. I didn't realise it finished last night. Looks like they will be updating their website again.

Dreamworld have updated the ride opening times to suit their extended opening hours. Good to see the majority of the rides are open for most of the day.

Vintage cars are now only open from 12pm, but Rocky Hollow is still from 12am

People will be glad to know that after they ride the Vintage Cars at 12am they will then be able to head over to the Rocky Hollow Log Ride and ride that as well.

Dreamworld's website has received a make over. I like its fresh new look: Their maintenance schedule has also been released: DRONKEY FLYERS: 01/02/2015 - 07/02/2015 OGRE-GO-ROUND: 01/02/2015 - 07/02/2015 PUSS IN BOOTS SWORD SWING: 08/02/2015 - 14/02/2015 SHOCKWAVE: 15/02/2015 - 28/02/2015 WIPEOUT: 01/03/2015 - 21/03/2015 GINGY'S GLIDER: 15/03/2015 - 21/03/2015 ROCKY HOLLOW LOG RIDE: 22/03/2015 - 04/04/2015 BUZZSAW: 26/04/2015 - 23/05/2015 THUNDER RIVER RAPIDS: 24/05/2015 - 06/06/2015 DOROTHY'S ROSY TEA CUP RIDE: 07/06/2015 - 13/06/2015 MICK DOOHAN'S MOTOCOASTER: 07/06/2015 - 13/06/2015 ESCAPE FROM MADAGASCAR: 14/06/2015 - 27/06/2015 THE GIANT DROP: 26/07/2015 - 15/08/2015 PANDAMONIUM: 23/08/2015 - 05/09/2015 TOWER OF TERROR II: 06/09/2015 - 19/09/2015 THE CLAW: 18/10/2015 - 31/10/2015 CYCLONE: 18/10/2015 - 21/11/2015 TAIL SPIN: 01/11/2015 - 14/11/2015

With the WWF closed for 2 months I'd imagine they will be giving a fresh coat of paint.

^Thanks for those photos. I am starting to think we may see something start to be built on this land this year. Maybe it could be a part of the Creatures of the Deep attraction. You can see that some fencing has been taken down and construction screens are in its place. And there is the what appears to be some gravelled area to the left, so maybe something will be put on there.

^Ok thanks

I have never been on a wooden coaster before, so I'm just curious what makes them so good?

MW did do this throughout January this year, but only extended their hours until 6:30

The show officially starts today and the TMNT arrive at the park from tomorrow.

The theme park social network uploaded this photo on Facebook. They say that this shippi container in the sea world car park lay link to creatures of the deep.

Before it opened WWW were advertising it as their latest thrill slide. I can see your point, but I personally think tailspin is a great addition. Yes, it is another spinning ride, but it is unique. It's as thrilling as you want it to be. There are more thrilling rides in the park, but if you can get the planes to spin it can become a thrilling ride.

Alex, they do still have the surfboard backpacks on the AquaLoop. Ninja, the jetstreams aren't as suspenseful as the Aqualoop. And I wouldn't say it is as full on as aquloop either. It does feel like you do come off the slide due to the speed and the angle. You do also get a lot of spray flying into your face as you go down. Start with the outer slide and then if you enjoy that, try the middle slide. They are good fun. When I last went on it, it didn't hurt my back competed to some of the slides

Do they now allow two people to ride together? And do they have single rider tubes or is it only the double?

I wouldn't say it's scarier, I would say it's slightly more extreme though. It does have a bigger drop and it's slightly faster. I do prefer the Aqualoop compared to the wedgie, but both are really good.

Thanks for thr photos. The Dough Bros Pizza looks really good. I like the theme of the store. I cant see on the photos, but do you know what the pricing range was? I've heard the pizzas are really good.

Every time I go on it my heart rate always increases while waiting for the drop. Once you do it is fine. First time I went on it there was a lot of anticipation while walking up the stairs and waiting. Just after the peak of the loop there is a pipe spraying a lot of water, which will get you in the face. Then you will slide up the walls a couple of times on the final straight at a high speed. It is a great ride though.

The remaining nights are 18th-22nd and 27th-28th

Another thing was Superman Escape had both of the trains operating.

The Roxy Theatre had the Ice Age: A mammoth Christmas 4D experience showing every 20 minutes between 5:40 and 7:30. Besides that show it was mainly character appearances, elves on Main Street providing entertainment, dancers and musicians. There was always someone or something to watch if you didn't want to go on the rides.

Just got back from White Christmas and my expectations were blown. It was the first time I have been to White Christmas and once again Movie World have done an incredible job. The amount of work that goes into the night is amazing. The beginning of the night when the elves and santa come down main street and turn on the snow, smoke machines and lights for a brief moment was really good. I then went on the rides and there were things I noticed: - Tonight on the scooby-doo the strobe lights were not turned on. - The sound was working on the green lantern in-ride speakers. - The water wasn't running on Superman Escape A part from Fright Night, I haven't been to the park when the Driving School and JL have been open. - The Driving School was really good. It was a really popular attraction and the detail that went into it was great. Christmas lights and a tree have been added to the ride. And there were also a couple of spot lights spinning on the ceiling, which were moving around. The other car ride (forgotten the name) was still popular, but no where near as popular as DS. - JL wasn't running for the first half of the night due to technical issues. When walking into the queue area, I thought the detailing was really good. The animatronic and the way the ride works, I also thought were really good. The smoke machines were working, and all animatronic were moving. The only thing that didn't work that I noticed should have the door that the Green Lantern opens. I thought the build up of the story line, but as what has been discussed before, I did think the final scene was a bit of a disappointment. After destroying the final villain and escaping the ship, I was expecting something else, but it just ended. Besides that I thought the ride was a great addition. While lining up for Batwing the lights were turned on, so I only managed to see parts of them turn on. But if you did want to see this, it happens at around 7pm. After the rides, I went and found a spot on main street to watch the final parade. The pre-parade entertainment from the elves was really good. They provided good laughs and keep everyone happy. The parade was great. the effort that goes into the floats is great, and the effort that the actors, particularly the elves. Overall I thought the night was fantastic. The atmosphere was great, the lighting was awesome and the actors were entertaining. The night just made you feel happy and get more into the Christmas spirit. If you have kids I'd highly recommend that you take them, if you haven't already. And if you aren't a huge fan of Christmas I still recommend that you go and just do the rides, because the queues for all the rides, except the ones in the kids area had queues no longer than 20 minutes. I'd rate the night a 9/10

According to the theme park social network, the show starts today. Can anyone confirm this?

What are people's thoughts on the show?
