    At the park currently. GL is having issues. Rivals only has one train operating, queue is full and extends towards GL, currently over 2.5 hours. WWF new station is dramatically slowing down the queue, so it’s over 1.5 hours. Even Doomsday is 60 minutes. Scooby is over 2 hours using the entire internal queue and external overflow. And SE is one train, entire internal queue and extends back towards being under the launch track. 

    That’s strange this morning they where running both trains on Superman and Rivals considering how busy it is I’m surprised they pulled them off. 

  2. Whilst I do agree that the Big Dipper area could be done a bit better as @Dom has said I do believe it will improve over time as luna park does tend to continually plus and upgrade its aesthetic. I think it may be a bit more jarring for the guys on the Gold Coast as normally what you get at opening is it and they don't update their rides (for the better) or add extra bits of theming after the ride is open. To be honest I think at this point in time I'm more bothered with the New Atlantis project as it touted itself to be an immersive experience with huge rock work and waterfalls which have seemingly been cut whereas here all that was promised was a selection of rides. In saying that though I think they have done a decent job with boomerangs station and I think BD's will look nice when it is completed.

    Movieworld just posted a tease on their Instagram for the announcement. It is set for 8:00am tomorrow. Included is what seems to be the 30th anniversary logo which looks fantastic.

    Just thought I’d add the logo in case anyone couldn’t access the link.6C624B49-CF54-4112-A2DC-1D08A74373B8.thumb.jpeg.194c547344a9f4dd54764734e82a137a.jpeg

    Sorry for the pile up. Just checked and Wet’n’Wild also posted a tease about  tomorrows announcement. https://www.instagram.com/p/COznY11rwJo/?igshid=1dlij3tgt11pe.

    It seems to be the shadow/reflection of a new slide tower on the surface of the water. It’s definitely very intriguing.

  4. Nope it was absolutely packed today. I came back to movie world today the line to enter the park is all the way past the non inverted loop and going up to the edge of the car park on the other side and they are still only doing one train ops on the major coasters.

    Scooby, DCR and GL for most of the day sat at 180 minutes with Scooby sitting at 90 mins and rivals at 120mins at 4:30. Superman also shut it’s queue completely for standby lines during the day. There was a point where the shortest line was roadrunner at 90 mins. HWSD filled to capacity for 4 shows and Roxy as well. It really was insane.

  5. It also seemed that they where having issues with a couple of the led screens throughout the park specifically the HWSD and GL ones. The GL one is not that bad with just that one section very dark. Hopefully they get it fixed fast.

    In the stunt driver show the whole bottom corner was backed out with busted and glitchy bits everywhere. The whole screen itself also kept glitching throughout the entire show. Sorry about the crappy pictures the glare from the screen with the smoke didn’t agree with my camera.

    Also in the pic above I noticed they cut a chunk out of the facade above the screen allowing you to slightly see the top of the track for the old car jump effect not sure if this is new or it has been that way for a while. Maybe they are doing some prep for a new show or they want to bring back the effect. Also the fireball did not work at all today.

    So queue times are greater than usual due to running only one train and fast track is now $200. Surely can't be a co-incidence.

    To be fair they sold out of fast track very early on in the day and from what I could see there weren’t that many of them.


    Honestly today was a absolutely terrible I genuinely couldn’t believe that with how long the lines where they only ran 1 train. DCR had hit 105 mins. We only got in 4 rides and saw stunt driver and three of those where with virtual queue we were there from 9:45 till closing so we had the whole day. Also the virtual queue ratios were not managed very well with the grouper often filling whole trains on superman with them which if running efficiently isn’t the end of the world but with 5 minute dispatch’s there where points where the regular line didn’t move for about 10 minutes and that line stretched to the Arkham courtyard with a lot of people in the sun. I heard a lot of either guests getting frustrated and complaining to each other so they also have that to work out. Scooby and Rivals weren’t to bad with that though.
