  1. Not sure it needs more lighting effects, but agree with you otherwise. Maybe a fire effect/fake fire effect
  2. Dreamworld posted a short video of JR going from the turntable, forwards through the track and back to the turntable with Front, Rear and face cam of 2 riders. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKVj-1jsOfq/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Pretty standard nothing much here, but it does have a not so subtle dig at their neighbours in the comment/description.
  3. Pretty sure thats original themeing since Day 1
  4. Probably your standard falling off, sticking arms out into the moving ride, tripping, slipping off the raised platform ect ect
  5. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-21/movie-world-cleared-carousel-child-descalping-injury/105317156 Mr Holt said the carousel was immediately shut down after the incident and underwent a "hardcore engineering solution" before it was re-opened several months later. "Once the risk was reasonably foreseeable, Village Roadshow Theme Parks made it impossible for it to occur," he said. 'Haven't wanted to go back' Movie World attraction attendant Ruby Piakura, who was operating the carousel on the day of the incident, told the court she had worked on the ride for more than six months at the time. Ms Piakura said she had never seen a rider stand on a character before that day and had hit the emergency stop as soon as she realised something was wrong. Mr Randall says Queensland's theme park safety regulations are the most stringent in Australia. (ABC News: Steve Keen) Asked if she had seen a rider stand on a character since, she told the court that, while she continued to work at Movie World, she no longer operated the carousel. "I haven't wanted to go back to working on that ride," she said. 'Extremely surprised' Theme park ride safety consultant David Randall wrote the report that recommended plastic brushes be installed on the carousel. He told the court he had made the recommendation as an opportunity for improvement on the ride, not as a requirement for it to operate. He said plastic brushes were a tactile deterrent rather than a physical barrier, meaning even if they were installed on the ride, the boy's head could still have gone through them and into the machinery above. Movie World on the Gold Coast officially opened in June 1991. (ABC Archives) "I recommended the plastic brush be installed so that if a child reaches up into that area, they touch the brushes and pull their hand away," he said. Mr Randall said that, even with decades of experience in safety management, he did not identify a person standing on a carousel character as a foreseeable risk. "I was extremely surprised after the event, which is unusual for me, as I'd never considered that as an issue," he told the court. Movie World's Looney Tunes characters are popular with young visitors. (ABC Gold Coast: Dominic Cansdale) On the third day of the trial, Ms O'Connor told Ms O'Neill the prosecution had no further evidence to offer, and asked to withdraw from the case. "I think that is a responsible decision, given the evidence we have heard," Ms O'Neill said before she dismissed the charge against Village Roadshow Theme Parks. The theme park operator will now make an application for WHSQ to pay its legal costs in the case.
  6. Sure not run by the park, but its not like its a static asset just sitting there, my point is renting it out would likely make more than opening it for regular business in the off season.
  7. But... WWW does open in winter? and does make money? Just not as a Water Park. They open up as a Gel Blaster arena (could be paintball but pretty sure its Gel).
  8. 100% get your views on human rights but the US isn't exactly known for having high standards either. Nor China. Additionally, China also restricts movie releases. Not defending people being shit humans, just saying Disney has a history of not caring about the points you've raised.
  9. Gold Coasters plot is severely under utilised. A smart DW would be able to replace Gold Coaster with 2-3 rides.
  10. nit picking, but Insurance Underwriters in this instance.
  11. WhiteWater World: Lachlan Steger broke collarbone on Triple Vortex, mulls court action | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site To jog your memory
  12. I'm fucking gutted. I hold American Idiot very close to my heart.
  13. There is public transport options if it means that much to you
  14. Yeah I've only been on 18: DC Rivals Hypercoaster - Movie World and 12: Eejanaika - Fuji Q Highland so can't really comment either, but Eejanaika is a wild coaster, and very impressive.
  15. This is just curiosity and will add tha tI've not been so no idea what the area truely looks like, and not suggesting they do this cause visually it would suck unless executed really well, but with the layout, is it possible to create a separate envelope with temp fencing?
  16. Not saying never say never, just it shouldn't happen now. Even though I want that, if they did that now, I would criticise them. They need high capacity rides right now. Crowd eaters. With MW Ops speeds, a coaster will never be that.
  17. New post, but older video. Missing the extra gem and the water effects in the turn table room from the video posted previously. I think we will be able to tell its fully complete once DW start posting their own POVs.
  18. I saw Walibi Holland is building dueling RMC Raptors, one Family and one Thrill. That would be awesome. Also, not gonna happen. Realistically as said, they need something high capacity.
  19. My gym has similar with a bubbler attachment at the front. If this is in a public location (maint st ect) its unlikely to be deliberately fucked with also. + the parks have cleaners.
