  2. Reviews & Reactions - Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster: Next Generation

    Hey guys! I know my name hasn’t popped up here in a long time I like to apologize for my actions and I do want to make an announcement that apparently movie World is actually going to update the Scooby Doo ride in November https://movieworld.com.au/park-info/maintenance-schedule I am not sure what they have planned but honestly watching the videos online I hope they really improve the special effects because for chrissakes a PlayStation 3 game can do better than the ride can at this point in time.

    I was told that the reason there's no fog is that it was found the correct filters for the projection gear hadn't been specified/ordered, so therefore it's running without it until that stuff eventually arrives and is signed-off.

    I rode the ride a few days ago and honestly... what a mess.  The projection in the lift is out of sync front vs side and it's just way too close.  It also makes not a lick of sense.  The AR-projection earlier in the ride was frozen on a still from a much earlier ride and there was a Windows 7 error message projected on the wall to the right of it.  Several of the set elements in the dark ride section are unlit.  The lasers in the dark ride section are on but ineffective without aforementioned fog.

    All-in-all we were left scratching our heads at how something like this could happen, given shortly afterward we rode Arkham with VR.  How can a park that is capable of something of the standard of Arkham VR also produce something like Scooby 2.0?

    Wow. It really makes you wonder what did they do with all that money they got to upgrade that ride I know some of that went to actually upgrading it but did some of it went to pay off one of them right employees drugs debts as well?

    You can agree with me or not on this one. But it seems like it’s the beginning of the end for Scooby.

    So the ride is still no where near what was expected (especially after watching the TVC). Every time I ride it, I just miss the old version more and more. And maintenance isn’t even due until the END of the year. (let’s hope they can incorporate everything and fix whatever until then)

    After investing “$1 million” into re-doing a ride, you would imagine a better outcome. I took a closer look at some props and they looked like cheap props from the clearance section of Kmart after Halloween. (Excluding the re-used props and animatronics). It’s understandable that the $1 million was towards re-creating the set, re-painting the facade etc but if they were willing to keep scooby in action for a good 5-10 years they would’ve spent more than $1 million on cheap tv screens and poor animations.

    There’s still no lasers or fog (as shown in the TVC). Effects and projections are either out of time or not working. The ride had potential, but it was all poorly executed.

    The poor outcome of the ride suggests that MW doesn’t really care about the ride and is just doing a cheap revamp to keep guests coming in. They’ve stripped props from the queue, they havnt cleaned the dust off that jester in the loading station (it’s literally been like that forever). I won’t be surprised if in the next 5+ years they change the theme of the ride or completely remove it. This revamp is not promising..... And theoretically, Scooby Doo is not as popular as it used to be. 

    Yes they spent $1 million on re-doing the ride but that’s not enough to create a ride that could even compare to the previous version. This revamp is just a way for MW to save money instead of creating a decent new ride. In the meantime they are probably saving to remove scooby and create a new attraction.

    But who knows, there might be added effects soon and improvements to come...:)

     

     I agree with you there and I hope there’s better stuff.com. But after spending $1 million you would expect the final product to look a little better even if they are working on it. Yes it is and it’s more accurate to the movie with love or hate the movie that’s a improvement. And one of the only good things in that ride so far is scrappy just like the movie ironically, but there are other good things about it to, But I’m just saying that compare to the original ride this is a major downgrade to a lot of people. Basically Warner Bros. just did what Disney did with the tiki room we were expecting something better but now we got the tiki room under new management basically for the Scooby Doo ride. A major downgrade from the original that only has one or two good things going for it. But still makes people missed the original more

    You know now that I seen all the videos about this ride on YouTube I have to be honest the animation on the demons does look pretty sad especially when it shows you the video of you in front of the mirror with these projector demons it does look very fake. I don’t know who Anna made in some of the scenes but they really need to update it soon, because as we all know the Scooby Doo Ryan totally replaced an awesome gremlins ride so they have a lot of weight on their back

    The moderating team follow @Richard's lead in trying to be as hands-off as possible, not because we don't care but because we're simply not interested in being adjudicators/babysitters in member squabbles. Rather, we'd like to see robust, adult conversation about theme parks, and in this case, we're here to ensure that doesn't get too weird.

    Will @Slick I am trying to get evidence because when the judge finally asked for the evidence when one of us points to this website and all the evidence is deleted you and all of your moderators will be dragged in to this and you will probably all go to jail for attempted of cort, So unless you want all of that on your burden that’s fine with me because I really do not want all of us to be riving in jail or pain in one of your guys money because of a stupid video. So we need to think of an easy solution to all of this problem and one of us needs our account permanently deleted now you’re probably going to delete mine and I respect that decision.
