  1. Only need to follow local journos and radio hosts on socials to see them out and about at SW Resort, TG etc - often with or tagging and thanking high ranking VTP employees. I'm sure they'll call it friendship, but its friendship that comes with perks and understanding. It's not illegal, its smart business if you want favourable media - but that doesn't mean DW deserve to be drilled regularly for not following suit.
  2. It was unique, fun, memorable (at least when it did what it was supposed to in terms of height reach and speed) but it no way was its overall experience greater than that of Rivals or ST.
  3. The people who failed are no longer there. The people running the joint now are the most scrutinized or any theme park in the country, and don't deserve to be continually tarnished by the same brush their predecessors rightfully were. VTP largely gets free reign by the GC media because they wine and dine anyone and everyone from local paper, radio stations etc constantly. It's funny how just a couple of days out of from peak easter holidays, we get a rush on "Don't forget DW killed people" articles. In a couple of weeks we'll no doubt get a front page headline about how great The Flash Ride is too Yeah, and maybe i chose the wrong article of the 3 to be critical of. In isolation, its a worthy article, but on the back of 2 others by the same media organisation in the preceding 24-48 hours - thats planned.
  4. 3rd article about TRRR in the last 24 hours. if I’m one of the families I’m sick of it continuing to be brought up by the media every few months to get some clicks. move on.
  5. i hope their real designs are better than their concept art because currently the left hand queue takes you into a cornfield deadend, the right hand queue becomes a left hand queue, and a new right hand queue spawns out of nowhere (maybe the tornado drops you there??)
  6. Seems as good a place as any to post this… nice little subtle dig at the park down the road….
  7. Moana 4D confirmed? credit to the VTP execs getting Disney on board
  8. So if i am over the age of 12 and don't want to get wet - there is only one ride in the entire park. Fantastic.
  9. Was probably my favourite flat at Wonderland - in a close way finish with Wizards Fury It would be fine as an attraction to fill a gap in their offerings - but i wouldnt be taking up valuable showstage realestate with it - it's would be just fine outside. when you only have 2-3 rides operating in your park suitable for anyone over the age of 5 - they are all major.
  10. Nobody wants to see that ride again on the GC. It’s a travelling fair ride essentially. We need an immersive dark ride, not a carnival ride in a room
  11. We can only hope.. And then tear down the whole area, and re-purpose the sound stage. I understand Batman Legacy will be heading off at some point this year, and with it the end of the WB Showcase concept.
  12. ⚡ Prepare to twist, spin and speed along The Flash: Speed Force! ⚡ No Super Hero attraction is complete without captivating theming, with the creative team at Warner Bros. Movie World working diligently to immerse guests in the world of The Flash. ⚡ With lightning-inspired aesthetics, the theming works will continue until late March, setting the stage for an unforgettable adventure into the Speed Force, coming soon to #movieworldaus
  13. The entire area is in disarray, when it could be one of the best themed lands/worlds in our parks.

  15. because the land was far more valuable than the park that sat on it.
  16. It has a lot of cross over with the Dreamworld Markets in terms of food offerings so it may be seen as superfluous. I'm sure there will be something running for the April/Easter holidays however, so i'm sure an announcement wont be too far away
  17. Powering the park with pixie dust is just as likely. I don’t think this is going to generate media attention or a crazy amount of discussion because it’s just not going to happen so it’s not even worth debating the plausibility or ethics of it. It’s beyond pipe dream, pie in the sky stuff.
  18. Gees… now you’ve gone and done it, you’ve reset the activity timeframe so we’ll have to wait even longer now!
  19. Yep, hell even Travis Barker and that Kardashian would have been a better target as they’ve been all over the place with their kids
  20. Not that their social media team is known for accuracy however…
  21. Are they not just screens telling you where you are? as the one at central station says “boarding at central station” and the one at wildlife says “boarding at Wildlife Station”?
  22. I reckon Clark would be better off walking around his theme park and seeing what it looks like himself.... as i doubt he's stepped foot in the place recently based on this. I reckon a star seeing what a shambles the place is in would do more harm than good... embarrassing... Theme giant Village Roadshow tells Taylor Swift if you loved us in 2015, you’ll be stoked on 2024 A Gold Coast’s theme park giant is joining Queensland’s push to attract Taylor Swift for her downtime week by reminding her of the great time she had on the rides nearly 10 years ago. Swift, who has a week off from shows after tonight’s fourth and final Sydney concert before her tour continues in Singapore, had a ball at MovieWorld in 2015. She did multiple rides with actor friend Blake Lively as well as enjoying getting up close and personal with marsupials at Paradise Country. Village Roadshow CEO Clark Kirby said plenty had changed at the parks to give Swift new thrills in the nearly 10 years since she last visited: “We would love to extend an invite for Taylor and Blake to visit our parks and create some more amazing memories with their family and friends. “Our theme parks are the ideal place for some downtime following an intense performing schedule where they can enjoy our world-class rides, attractions, shows and characters,” he said. “Since their last visit in 2015, we have a host of amazing new attractions at Warner Bros. Movie World including the DC Rivals HyperCoaster - the tallest, longest and fastest HyperCoaster in the Southern Hemisphere - which would provide the perfect adrenaline hit. “Over at Paradise Country, we have also welcomed some inquisitive new animals including meerkats and marmosets and they would love to meet Taylor and share some of their conservation efforts.” Mr Kirby’s Village Roadshow invite comes as Queensland clamours to attract Swift and NFL star partner Travis Kelce. Tourism and Events Queensland on the weekend unveiled an audacious bid to convince Swift to have her downtime in the Sunshine State by signalling it would rename stunning Vlasoff Cay on the Great Barrier Reef – unofficially at least – as Tay Cay in a tribute to the music icon. TEQ has offered to put together a ‘Tay Cay’ package with helicopter transfers, a champagne picnic and opportunity to snorkel amongst the stunning coral and marine life. The invite also includes a luxury stay on a nearly exclusive private resort island, with a public ad campaign showcasing what’s on offer in the tourism hotspot until Tuesday. Meanwhile, Mr Kirby said like the rest of Australia his household – including three daughters – had been caught up in the Taylor Swift juggernaut, taking in one of her Melbourne shows. “Hopefully on her next tour she will be here on the Gold Coast performing checking out the new Wizard of Oz precinct at Warner Bros. Warner Bros. Movie World was “Hollywood on the Gold Coast”, he said. “So it makes perfect sense we resonate with superstars. Given our close location to Village Roadshow Studios, we are ideally positioned to welcome some of the biggest stars. But the beauty of Movie World is that every guest who walks through the gates is transported to an environment where they can experience the life of an A-Lister.” https://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/gold-coast/theme-giant-village-roadshow-tells-taylor-swift-if-you-loved-us-in-2015-youll-be-stoked-on-2024/news-story/cc87c022c600b4adb9e7b55bbb922a45
