The quality and presentation of the travelling rides generally isn’t up to the standard that theme park attractions have. Travelling rides are usually much older and don’t offer unique experiences. People generally don’t go to a theme park to ride the same stuff they can go on at a carnival/fair

Sea World did with SkyFlyer and DW did when Dreamworks was under construction

The versions of the ride in the US are definitely not clones. They were certainly inspired by and are a newer version of what MW has. If they were clones they would be the exact same. The attractions at Six Flags are clones of each other. When you watch the POV of the SF vs MW rides, you aren’t watching the same thing. Disney parks have different versions of their rides throughout the world, but they aren’t all clones (despite having a similar concept, IP or name)

My thought exactly

Nope, but remember how awful WWW looked and they did a full park repaint and now it looks great and like somewhere I’d want to visit

The constrictor has had a complete repaint

That’s great news, hopefully it’s because they’ve released how bad of shape the ride is in and this will give them plenty of time to get it back to how it originally was

Announcement for this years event should be coming very soon as the website has been updated to state this, rather than the statement about the event being cancelled last year and will return this year

JL is Currently under maintenance with no dates

Can someone share the article?

I’m very excited for this ride, but I definitely don’t think that video did it justice

Could be for the maintenance of the Green Lantern as it’s closed until October

At this stage I’m just glad to see they’re bridling something at the entry to Leviathan. For a while I was thinking they were just going to slap a sign onto the timber structure and you just entered under the track. I’m hoping there is some form of 3D element to what they’re building here. I’m starting to think they’re going to surprise us with what they pull off here. We had very small previews of inside the station which was very promising. They’ve released what they did with vortex was very poor and are actually trying to make this attraction great, rather than just good

Only the ‘T O W’ to go. Once they’re removed, we should see the tower repaint begin.

They should’ve gone with the ‘rising soon’ term a long time ago.

While walking across the bridge to Topgolf yesterday I noticed this new building under construction. For context it was roughly in this area Does anyone know what this could be for? Could it be a building to replace the function of another which is being demolished. My first thoughts were, I’d the small building SW of the AA being demolished to allow for construction of WoO? But I don’t know what the use or height of that SW building is, so I could be very wrong with that comment. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

It has been added to the PA system automated announcements made. And in regards to tiding up the area leading to and around the Giant Drop, there are plans to once it’s refurbishment is completed.

I visited the park today and they were announcing about minding your head before boarding. I also felt the load/unload was very organised considering the train was full nearly every time it departed Central Station. The park have done a great job with the refurbishments, and while not every view along the track is good, where some of the more back of house areas need work, it’s proving to be very popular and worth the investment.

No I’m not saying it won’t open, I’m saying, did they not mention it because trident is going to open next year or at this stage they don’t know. Im not reading into too much because the media are good at missing information or stating things incorrectly. It was just an observation.

https://www.facebook.com/7NEWSBrisbane/videos/1507375373054233/ In this news report about WoO they mention Leviathan, stating it will be open later this year. I don’t think we’ll see it open until Christmas. Interesting they hadn’t mentioned Trident either. Maybe because it’s delayed even further or just simply, its not the major focus attraction and they left it out.

https://www.facebook.com/7NEWSBrisbane/videos/1507375373054233/ This news report states that the precinct will cost $40 million. Considering the coasters themselves shouldn’t cost that much because they’re small and simple, it gives an indication of how good the theming and precincts elements could actually be

With yesterdays announcement, Movie World also announced there would be a nice kids ride opening in April 2023 within the Kids WB area and would be themed around Marvin the Martian. What are everyone’s thoughts on what this could be and where it will be located? I’d assume the best/available location would be where the original Marvin the Martian ride once stood.

Wow wow wow that’s way better than I was expecting, and the concept artwork is more achievable and realistic this time (in comparison to the new Atlantis). Congratulations to MW for providing a new immersive land that isn’t anything like we’ve got in Australia, reaches into a market the park has needed to show some love to for some time (family attractions) and offering attractions we haven’t yet got that everyone will enjoy. What’s also exciting for me is the area of ‘straw’ next to the duelling coasters creates an opportunity for a future flat ride or two. The plaza area reminds me of Nintendo Land at USJ, which is a good thing because that’s a very impressive land (just with bad attraction choices). I hope the green castle looks good from behind because you’ll see that from Main Street and even from outside the park. Part of me thinks there won’t be access from Superman, but this concept art could be deceiving. Seeing this I hope there isn’t access and they use the Main Street and Scooby access because that allows for the arrival wow moment seeing the large buildings. Im also excited to see a new attraction coming to the kids area next Easter, a great and easier thing to do to offer something new while they construct WoO. I can’t imagine the coasters themselves will take that long to build, but the overall land and it’s theming and stations will be what takes the longest. I’d expect a 12-15 month construction period.

You are correct
