I’d say masks will be required (maybe not for the whole event), but definitely in mazes. And they make only make your party go through the maze rather than grouping you with others
Doesn’t Movie World have a strict policy regarding masks at Fright Nights?
-
I guess it really depends on what happens with the vaccine. From my understanding, we’re not supposed to get the second dose of the vaccine until mid to late October.
However, Movie World have stated that Fright Nights will return this year.

I’m sure everyone has already seen this but in case you haven’t, here it is (I can confirm this also applies to dreamworld and whitewater world too) :
stay safe, everyone.

Boo green fountain. Otherwise carry on.
What’s wrong with the green fountain?
-
New banners are up on the grand archway and the fountain is now green. Three new experiences have also been announced including: The Ultimate Experience, The Joker Laughing Gas and Exclusive Batman Meet and Greet.
-
I doubt we’ll be hearing of a replacement for Arkham anytime soon.

There was literally no social distancing the other night at White Christmas. Yeah they put tape around for the parade etc, but as usual the GP just ignore the tape. They also have stages and entertainment set up in areas that really cant handle crowds. ie the Wild West backdrop is a 'stage' for Mrs Claus show and it was bumper to bumper down there because its not exactly a massive walkway to begin with. I didnt even try to get from Doomsday to WWF because it was that packed. Kind of frustrating to see the GP completely disregard measures in place. Im not exactly worried about Covid at the moment, but I do enjoy my space from people in general XD
Social distancing from other guests is still required. I just meant it’s no longer a requirement that you stand exactly 1.5 meters away from the character when getting a photo op.
-
It seems that VRTP have slightly changed the 1.5 meter social distancing rule regarding character meet and greets.

Not the Giant Drop.
But when I did my ICP at WDW earlier this year I went on Soarin countless times before my shifts.
Never did it have the same thrill and joy from the first few times. But it became more of a relaxing experience. Still was super fun, but something just changes when you go on it many time.
How can you compare the Giant Drop to Soarin’? They’re two completely different attractions. It’d make sense if you compared the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror to the Giant Drop.
I could ride the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and it’d be a different experience each time whereas you know what to expect on the Giant Drop.

@Jdude95 he suffered severe injuries on his back due to the lack of water on the slide.

This reminds me of something that happened at a water park in Philadelphia a few years ago. A guy snuck onto a water slide that was closed for maintenance. He used a 600ml bottle of water to wet the slide. That idea didn’t pan out well for him.

the park has props on display from the film.
I thought all of the Aquaman props were removed from the Warner Bros. Showcase?

You wouldn't create one though from scratch you'd just find a 3d film relevant to the event.
The only DC themed 4D experiences Iwerks has on offer is: Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Man of Steel and Green Lantern. These 4D experiences are all shortened versions of the original feature films.

Hey didn't they show Polar Express specific to WC, and that Freddie V Jason kills one specific to FN?
Therefore it stands to reason they could do it for this.
Polar Express 4D experience was created by Iwerks Entertainment and Friday the 13th was just a montage of kill scenes from the films. The only 4D experience Movie World created was Adventures in the Fourth Dimension (1991).

As you've mentioned, specialised stunt shows (could occupy the HSD arena) would be interesting to see at some point. An event-only 4D Film?
Whilst these would be great, I can’t see it happening. A stunt show would take too much planning and rehearsal time for a two week event.
Also, VRTP don’t create their 4D films so they wouldn’t be able to show a film specific to the event. Most of their 4D films have been shorter versions of feature films such as Journey, Rio, Yogi Bear The closest thing they could show is Man of Steel the 4D experience but it might a little too frightening for younger audiences.

Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I had my expectations a little high on new additions 😅
What exactly were you expecting? An Arkham Asylum maze? (which has already happened). A Dark Knight Stunt Show?
Technically speaking, DC Superheroes and Supervillains isn’t really a special event (compared to WC & FN). They’re offering extended hours and you don’t need to purchase a seperate ticket to attend. It just sounds like you’re not really appreciating the work that goes into these events.

You're absolutely right, it is incredibly popular, and that's great. What i'm trying to say is, nothing is changed each year, and from what I can see so far, nothing has changed this year either. I'll be happy to stand corrected if that isn't the case once all the details are released - but in years past, these events (DC Supervillains, White Christmas) have stayed entirely the same with no worthwhile interesting additions or changes.
As for what both @joz and yourself are saying, i apologise if what i said came across in any way as 'bitching and moaning'. I would simply like to see some new exciting additions to the offering (new shows, more precincts, extra theming etc.).
I can’t really speak for WC because I only really go to ride the attractions. I don’t partake in any of the festive activities.
But as for Heroes and Villains, the first year had great feedback. It seemed to have a Batman Returns theme (kinda), the second year they focused more on the New 52 universe. They brought out a new design to the new Batman, Robin and Joker characters. They also had the costume competition and an amazing parade. Third year, they introduced a new design to the Harley Quinn character, a new parade followed by the Jokers funhouse party with themed food outlets. They have definitely changed it up over the last few years.

I’m happy with extended trade until 8PM for the peak period regardless of the DC event.
Suprised they have announced it without the usual details of up charges and shows.
Wonder if we will have a new character (or updated design) debut as has been the case for the previous events.
Possibly. Most of the villains are returning characters from Movie Worlds earlier years (mainly from Burton/Schumacher Batman films) and all the heroes have already had their New 52 upgrades, I believe. The only characters I could see appearing would be another villain from the New 52 universe.
What I’ve noticed over the last couple of years is that there a fair few cosplayers attending this event and very often do guests seem to ask them for photos. I wonder if Movie World will allow cosplaying this year due to the COVIDSafe plan.

VRTP have announced on their website that the DC Superheroes and Supervillains event will be running from December 27th 2020 to January 16th 2021.

How much money do you think VRTP put into renovating the courtyard last year? I wonder if the new attraction would still be Arkham themed so they don’t have to spend more money retheming the entire courtyard. Thoughts?

Pirates is a classic Disney attraction and has had five movies based on it in the last 20 years.
WFRR is over 30 years old and Roger Rabbit is not even close to Mickey or Minnie in global popularity. How much Roger merch do you see for sale?
I have no problem with POTC. My point was you can’t say two attractions is enough. We have 5 pirates, 3 mansions ( 5 if you count PM and MM), 2 TZTOT ( 3 if you want to count Tokyo), 4 Jungle Cruises, 5 Space mountains. What’s wrong with adding another or similar attraction at another park? Especially when that park was intended to have a WFRR area.
Tower of Terror was made into a film ( the first film to be based on a Disney Attraction) and even though it’s not as mainstream as POTC, it’s still a much loved film by many Disney fans.
Whilst I have no issue with Runaway Railway, the whole stepping into a cartoon world concept sounded like something they would also do for a WFRR attraction.

Not really, WFRR is not a well loved property compared to Mickey & Minnie and it already had two rides at two parks.
True, Who Framed Roger Rabbit may not be as popular as Mickey & Minnie but not by much. He’s extraordinarily popular by Disney fans.
Disney has five Pirates of The Caribbean attractions across the globe. Do you think two was enough?
-
Last week, I watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit on Disney + and it got me thinking about Disney’s Hollywood Studios and how an entire section of the park would be dedicated to the film. There’s one attraction based on the film in Disneyland and a few references to the film at Hollywood Studios.
When Imagineers were planning Runaway Railway, do you think it was a missed opportunity that they didn’t theme it to Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

I noticed on VRTPs YouTube page, they have taken down the commercials for the Zombieland 2, Leatherface and IT maze. This also includes the Leatherface maze commercial from 2018, the teaser that contained the hints to each maze ( with the old woman in the rocking chair) and a video titled “Did you manage to escape the IT maze”. The Doll Haus and House of Kain commercials are still there.
Maybe we won’t see IT or Zombieland 2 return next year?
