  1. considering 95% of the time im pro-dreamworld and critical with the way village runs certain areas of their park, i’d say not. it’s just me using common sense. why would they place storage at the very back of the park, on the opposite side of where stuff is needed? parade floats ect are stored out near the JDSC building and are maintained within it, so keeping it on that side where it’s out of view for guests makes sense.
  2. from what i’ve heard the area is used for F&B, janitor and retail departments storage, easier transportation of carts and BOH stuff and general break areas. it seems very utilised. It sounds good but would it happen? probably not. my guess is it’ll stay exclusive for back of house and fright nights.
  3. when storage space is needed in a landlocked park then sometimes changes have to be made. yeah it made good crowd flow but you also have the Scooby alley, so when the china town alley is just another way to get into the Scooby alley then even though it would be nice, it isn’t essential.
  4. the Scooby doo alley will be permanently opened to accompany WoO, as it will be another entry/exit for the land which will help crowd flow.
  5. the departments need space to make the park operate smoothly, sure it’s great guest flow but you also have the Scooby doo alley. I think it would be great if that entry reopened with WoO but i highly doubt it.
  6. it was removed as IT has gone through its 2 year run at fright nights. a lot of areas (such as china town alley way) became back of house areas because the departments needed space, same with the storage in the JDSC building. When a park expands its offering, back of house need more space, which is hard when the park is landlocked. This isn’t a problem at Dreamworld as they have the space to have storage and departments out of guest view, MovieWorld doesn’t have this privilege.
  7. I think they should hold off the unlimited fast pass option until Flash, the WoO coasters and Scooby Doo all open (or even after WoO opens). As the park currently stands they don’t have enough attractions or fast operations to make unlimited fast pass work well.
  8. The area is now used as back of house for many different departments so i highly doubt that alleyway would be used again, however the alley next to Scooby seems like it will be a permanent alternative entry so that will help the parks flow immensely.
  9. Seabed Splash Pad Construction Update: Theme_park_ogre ^if you don’t already you should really follow this guy, he posts so much content in terms of our parks construction updates and deserves more recognition
  10. Yellow track pieces for Flash have shown up on sight, with scaffolding now going up around the rides loading platforms. Here are also some more HD photos of the current vertical support and how close they get to Superman. The kinetic energy as well as the appearance of this area once Flash and WoO are done will be amazing. Theme_park_ogre
  11. Concept art for the archway into the Wizard of Oz area as well as the area’s logo have been added onto construction fencing next to Superman’s breakrun. theme_park_ogre
  12. Im pretty sure these will be the trains dragster will reopen with along with any other accelerator coaster that get this type of launch refurb (if anymore get it from Zamperla and not Intamin).
  13. well: 1) thats where the planned hotel site is. 2) it would go right up against a residential area. 3) the ride would have to cater to kids and families as it’s well, in the kids area. 4) they would have to change the back of house area for that side of the park which they wouldn’t do. i think you should put some more thought in before actually posting, all most of your post do is dampen your already bad reputation.
  14. I’m thinking they want to have Superman down as little as possible which is why the opening date isn’t until April 2024, plus shipping for a new train (if this is the case.) I’m also thinking the red line in the above post will be the entry to the ride, i do hope if this is the case the area reconnects with Superman’s plaza, otherwise it’ll just be a dead end. Besides that, the ride really does look a lot better then i was imaging it would look, i can’t wait to see how this turns out.
  15. at the end of the day, no everyday guest gives a shit about the font used on top of a gondola, heck most probably don’t even notice it. the redesign is great, even i wouldn’t have noticed the font if it wasn’t pointed out, the only people that will care about it are enthusiasts looking for something to nit pick. the rides open after it’s year+ long refurbishment, can’t we just be happy it’s open and looking great rather then having to find something to complain about? it’s so boring and tiring at this point.
  16. this is the max height the ride was swinging too yesterday, not sure if it was any higher today or not. Jaggsjourneysau
  17. So, it’s essentially a glorified pirate ship now? looks like i was right about the fact they’d rather keep a barely functioning ride then admit the ride was a failure. I think it would be a much better fit at SeaWorld, preferably in the old Sea Viper plot of land. SeaWorld doesn’t have anything that goes backwards or a coaster with inversions and they only have one family launch coaster, whereas MovieWorld is adding SurfRider which is similar to a SRII, has 2 coasters that goes backwards and one with inversions.
  18. at this point the costs of running and maintaining DD would be severely higher then the return on investment. spending large chunks of money to maintain rides like Scooby, WWF and Superman makes sense as they’re crowd favourites and always pull long lines but Doomsday rarely has a line and considering the low throughput that’s saying something. you could just theme the new ride to Doomsday or a new villain that’s taken over the city. anything would be better then their current situation.
  19. Doomsday’s already had its first breakdown today with guests stuck on board, it appears to be reopened now however. It’s sad they’d rather have a barely functioning ride still be in service then admit that they made a mistake with the model and rebuild with a new ride type.
  20. the building is most likely just being used for random storage until they demolish it, i do wonder what the station looks like now years later.
  21. Gingy’s is staying, it’s apparently not getting removed.
  22. the first support piece has gone vertical, I'm surprised they didn’t just do it all at once like SurfRider’s construction as well as it’s deconstruction. Jaggsjourneysau
  23. maybe they saw positive results in the Marvin ride and are already investing in a new kids ride? either another small kids flat or a little kids coaster to balance out RRRC. I will say i’m surprised Speedy is still there after all these years being next door to JDS.
  24. it seems like you’ve worked within every industry in a lot of different department that always somehow relate to a very specific topic. anyways, in all honestly guests don’t care about a sticker or a wrap, it won’t make them not want to return when they know somethings coming. A sticker with a barcode across a couple of the walls is fine, they still could do more but for what it is it’s fine. Guests will definitely care when 2/5 coasters are open in a park with a bunch of other rides closed, then a blank wall.
