  2. What’s next for movie world

    in Theme Park Discussion

    Posted

    I don't know where is the best place to voice my opinion on the new Yogi Bear 4D attraction, but whilst the topic is being mentioned. I will throw in my two cents.

    This is coming from a guy who saw the movie in a cinema, the 2011 Yogi Bear movie is quite a unusual choice for a 4D film. Considering this is not only the first time the movie has had an opportunity of a slight thought in someone's mind in sometime, but is the character of Yogi Bear even popular with the kids anymore? The attraction will most likely get the numbers, but surely there was better decisions to be made.

    @aussienetman let’s hope that new management comes in in a few years or earlier and brings this place back to its golden days during late 90s to early 2000s

    How would you know the late 90s to the early 2000's was the 'golden years' for the park?

    This is the golden years for the park in my opinion, with the exit of Arkham Asylum allowing for better future developments. The park attraction wise is a lot better than the 2000s, DC Rivals makes a lot of difference.

    I do think Movie World can spend a few years renovating the place, but i entirely disagree that the late 90s to early 2000's was the park's peak.

  9. Nostalgia at the Parks

    Does anybody remember the Buzzsaw marketing campaign where staff members told stories of their ghost experiences? There was also some competition to stay over night at Dreamworld.

    I think they made the videos of the marketing campaigns private on their YouTube channel, but i just remember them really well.

  10. Intamin Concept Rides

    Interesting to see another company creating concepts around the single rail track design. 

    I personally don't see really any of these getting off the ground, and if they do it won't become popular with parks. All of these concepts are clearly heavily inspired by other manufacturers. I understand that is how the industry works, but why wouldn't a park just go with the manufacture who originally created the concept and has already proven themselves with that concept?

    This is just Intamin throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks.

  11. Funny theme park videos

    I mean, i think FriendlyJordies is great and all. But, was this necessary? 

    Out of all his videos, this one? This is like lower tier of his content.

    For context, he mainly makes videos on Australian politics using humour as a way to reach an audience that isn't really interested in politics.

    I’m surprised no one has ever talked about how badly photoshopped the dreamworld logo on the front page of the website is  just look at it

    The letters funny enough has been changed from black to white on the Dreamworld Website. I don't know how much you could be credited for it, but the logo has improved.

  15. Theme park stories

    I was scared of the big thrill rides for a long time, and i mean a long time. So most of my stories comes from my dad putting me on rides that i was utterly terrified of. This was back when my favourite rides were Mick Doohan's Motocoaster and Shockwave.

    I remember starting to do research on these rides that i was terrified of, which by research i mean Wikipedia articles. I was starting to come out of my shell a bit, so i decided to brave the Giant Drop. I was instantly terrified after riding and immediately never wanted to get back on another big ride again.

    A similar story happened with the Batwing Spaceshot, except i was forced onto the ride by my father on my second-ever trip to Movie World. I remember just being terrified, it felt so high up. I went on the ride late last year for an end of school trip, i have never been more underwhelmed. 

    My first ride of Superman was interesting, i hugged my dad and had my eyes shut throughout the queue. Then we got back row, and i thought it wasn't that bad at first. I had already seen the Theme Park Review pov, so i was just pointing out the stuff like the waterfalls and cop cars to my father. Then we launched... the rest of the experience is a blur. I had my eyes closed the entire time. 

    My dad constantly tried pushing me onto the big rides, like Tower of Terror. Which i never rode, which i am a bit bummed. I was too scared when we had Dreamworld passes, and i haven't been back since 2014. There is always Magic Mountain i suppose. 

    I remember my first time on DC Rivals fondly, i remember still feeling a bit intimated. After the ride, any fear i had of coasters just faded away. I will wrap it up with one quick stories on my experience in theme parks as a young youngster. My first ride on Bermuda Triangle scared me so much that i kept my head down the entire ride (Which seems to be a common trope.) My mother thought i fell or jumped off the boat during the ride.

    Looking forward to seeing you....take care and all the best

    Whilst Wet and Wild is slightly being discussed.

    I remember going to Wet and Wild as an end of year rewards day for school, and i just remember the pain of my feet burning because of the lack of shade there was on the footpath. I haven't returned in a few years now, but if you have not added more shading to paths, or cooling it down with water or something, please do.
