They’ve also removed the shade sails, so seems like the definite location for the new attraction

Even Superman Escape at MW has had many rollbacks during its life

They are upgrading it, but it’ll still be the same ride as when it originally opened. Everything will work again, and we could see upgrades to projectors, lighting and audio.

7th and 8th have sold out

Is there four mazes in the sheds behind WWF this year? Is the path through WWF the only way to access them with AA closed? Where are the precincts and panic rooms located?

We’ve been saying this for the last 3 FNs, I just don’t think it’s going to happen and this is now the standard to expect

Not anymore

First night has sold out

The first night of the event has sold out (15th). Saturday 22nd and 29th have been added

The first night of the event on the 8th has sold out

Shaded seating area coming soon to Sea World?

All references to the monorail have been removed from the parks website

The maintenance listing for the first half of 2023 has been posted on the parks website

WWF has reopened, it temporarily closed due to the major rainfall on Thursday night and the water had to be drained/treated

This is incredibly sad news. I was lucky enough to meet Patrick on several occasions and his passion for tigers and Tiger Island was inspiring. From my perspective this is a major loss for DW, but the remaining tiger island team is very much capable after all the years of training from the man who started it all. This definitely won’t be the end of Tiger Island as it’s still a major part of DW and we won’t be seeing the animals leave the park either. The park management recognises how popular and important that area of the park and while they may see rides as more important and a draw factor for guests to the park, animals are still an essential part of DW that won’t be leaving.

New sign for 2022, plus you can see precinct theming starting to appear in the park

We’ve seen how much the event has increased in price this year compared to 2019, but do people think this has/will make the event less popular because less people can afford to attend? In the previous years, I’ve found the event to be underwhelming in some areas, in comparison to 2013-2015 (for example) which were fanatic events and a quarter of the price. This year I was hoping that we’d get 4 or 5 new mazes (because it had been several years since the previous event), but with the price increase, for me, I don’t think I’ll be attending. Unless the reviews say the event is amazing this time and they have improved it across the board, then I might consider attending. In previous years, we usually would see nights start selling out weeks before the event, but thus far, no nights have sold out. However in 2019, when there was a price increase, the first night only sold out a few days before. Maybe it’s because more tickets are on sale for each night, but just an observation in comparison to the event years ago.

We don’t, but it would be highly likely that they did. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the parks are constantly in talks with manufacturers

Correct

Building and queue painting has begun There are new garden beds and lawn area New sign to come for entrance No more progress on the tower itself. I believe the few weeks of bad weather in winter caused delays and the workers scheduled to the work had to go to other jobs and will be back to complete it

Work is currently still happening on Rivals right now

Surely that was just a guest messing around with the sign and putting them all on there

Rivals is back on the maintenance list

The wedgie and Fully 6 slides 2 & 3 will remain closed for the entirety of this operating season
