Not sure if anyone has posted photos of the new MDMC trains, but here you all go

Interestingly WWW is closed on Australia Day. I would have thought this would be a day they’d want to be open for. Make it an Australia Day party, stay open late, fireworks, DJs, etc.

I think that’s part of why they closed a lot of attractions in such a short period of time. The rides closed weren’t running well and needed a lot of work done that they didn’t see worthwhile. Potentially better investment to close those old rides and build new ones (which unfortunately takes a long time) The river has been looking pretty good for the last few months, so I think they’ve finally done something to tidy it up. Hopefully the train will return in time for Easter and that will bring some more energy around the back of the park. When they have the farm animals it certainly helps, but between the kids world and Giant drop (travelling around the back of the park) it’s usually pretty quiet. The lack of log ride doesn’t help that either.

Im sure this rumour isn’t true, but would everyone be happy to see it return? Would it be worth it? I personally would like to see it return, I remember it being such a nice gentle journey to see the park from a new perspective and I always enjoyed the show

That’s great they’ve got new trains which has helped comfort and speed.

This is something that has been discussed countless times, but unfortunately doesn’t seem like it’s an option as the station roof is so low the monorail won’t be able to pass through

I did think about those, but the turntable and lift staff aren’t there any more on WWF, they have cameras and lights instead now. But Scooby I did forget about.

You’re not legally allowed to get any closer with a drone, so you’ll have to zoom in on these photos

I don’t know the actual answer, but I’d say 4-5 each. So that is a good point. While Doomsday and Batwing are only a couple, so it would be easier to keep them open all day. I was getting at even though more staff are needed, they are more popular rides and they’d have to close the queue early (depending on how busy is it) so they don’t make people wait, then ask them to leave because the staff have to move to another ride. So if a ride was open 10-1 before the staff moved to another ride, and it’s a busy day, they might have to close the queue at 11-11:30 to clear it out in time.

It is, but I don’t think it’s as popular as Scooby, WWF. Rivals and Superman

Scheduling would be a good idea. The water parks have done it plenty of times over the years. WWW in particular used to do it often (BRO and RIP would alternate for example). WNW used to do it to with the Mach 5 as an example. Scheduling rides that aren’t as popular like, Doomsday, Batwing, GL and Justice League would work. The rest should be open all day as they are the most popular.

I’d say it’s because of the amount of staff off currently due to Covid or awaiting results, unfortunately there isn’t much they can do

Doomsday and reopened and Scooby has closed

We’re already past 90% single?

Wow I’m impressed

I visited the parks on one of those days and they were both very busy

I think the crowds were bigger last summer because the weather was nicer And I believe before that (2019) was one of their biggest summers in a while, with the carpark overflowing for a week

I’d say a small part is the river rapids, but a big part is all the ride closures that have happened, so the park is seen as not having enough to offer and therefore is quieter than MW.

@DaptoFunlandGuy thoughts on all the nostalgia brought back for making memories event while you were at the park?

They should probably also look at getting a family log ride attraction

In regards to Cosentino, I didn’t see it myself but I heard similar comments from a few other people too. They’ve got two wiggles shows this Wednesday and in the past they’ve been outside and chaotic. This time they are in the exhibition centre and imagine they will be even more chaotic if the Cosentino shows are anything to go by

I always thought a pirate ship ride at SW would be a good choice 😏

I’d say it’s 80% complete. They’ve poured the slabs for the queue, the station building externally is built, so we don’t know how much they’ve done internally. The track is complete, that’s most of the hard work and is certainly not just half of the job, it’s way more than half.
