Fair enough. That's all I needed ^

Sorry to be a bug, but please explain why not? I mean, why would one cart on a roller coaster stop because the wheel of another separate cart fell off? And if it wouldn't, why can't we assume that it may have been a deliberate stop by the operator when he/she saw that the cart was damaged? And if we can, why can't we give them a break?

Wait, so the breakdown was due to the loss of the wheel on one cart, but the other one still stopped on the lift hill... So is it safe to assume that was due to an emergency stop button being hit? And if so, can we STOP being critical of the ride operators and inspectors and give them some credit? This is a human-designed machine, it will fail sometimes. Believe it or not.

Actually, that would be the best explanation. Although I can't guarantee that there weren't container loads of steel in this area. Like I said, I got the tiniest glimpse of a tiny segment of this area, which I would imagine isn't exactly tiny. But you're right, it did come to mind that if they had the parts in storage, surely Movie World would have announced something, at least started a rumour. A little off-topic as well, but following this I got a little bit of a fascination with theme park backlots. I managed a peek into one at Dreamworld, which was a little underwhelming, but I did spot some parts from the Reef Diver...

Which is why I thought it must be something new. Unless something is getting revamped, but... wouldn't they just paint the ride then, rather than making new parts in the new colours?

Hard to tell. It was fenced off, and I only got the slightest glimpse through a gap between two buildings. But the parts were definitely stacked, and I couldn't see the majority of this area.

I didn't specifically say that it WAS the Doomsday Tower. I put this as the title because it was the first thing that popped into my head when I spotted this, and I certainly can't think of any existent rides at Movie World that these parts would fit.

Just a wee bit of speculation... I recently visited Movie World, and during a ride on the Wild West Falls, could spot what appeared to be a backlot with spare/new parts for rides in between the building in the Western town area of the ride. I didn't think quickly enough to snap a photo, but I definitely spotted green parts, purple parts and the Justice League emblem. Thoughts?
