Sea World - Creatures from the Deep
themagician replied to Zanstabar's topic in Theme Park Discussion
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

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.
-
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

What would you like to see at Gold Coast Theme Parks soon?
themagician replied to Santa07's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Scooby-Doo doesn't need a replacement. It's still a great ride, that I love everytime I ride it. Yes some of the animatronics don't work as well, he queue could do with a clean and fix up, but overall it's still good. -
