**apologies for the bad font changes... formatting not copying well from the page...** MOVIE World’s next big attraction is on track for a September launch date, right in time for the school holidays. Large-scale ground works are well under way at the Oxenford theme park to create a series of new attractions, including a new roller-coaster and $35-million golf facility. Foundations have now been laid for what is believed to be the roller-coaster, a 200-foot tall ‘hyper coaster’, while land has been cleared for the golfing attraction, Bunting placed on fencing around the construction site over the Christmas tourism season announced September as the opening date, with the Topgolf attraction expected to be the first to take customers. A Village Roadshow spokesman yesterday said the company “looked forward to making an announcement. The Topgolf attraction, the first of its kind in Australia, will take up 6ha of land in the south of the park neat the Outback Spectacular. It will feature golf games for all ages and skill levels along with a chef-driven menu, drinks, big-screen TVs and music held in climate-controlled suites. Park bosses expect it to welcome more than 500,000 people annuall The roller-coaster is expected to follow soon after, with parts for what will become the track already spotted arriving at the theme park. The 60m high thrill ride will become the Gold Coast’s tallest attraction and will be built by German-based manufacturer Mack Rides. The September opening date was welcomed by Gold Coast Tourism chairman Paul Donovan who said it was the time ahead of school holidays “We have already seen what happens when new attractions come online in theme parks and it certainly bolsters visitations,” he said, speaking to the Bulletin from Singapore “September is a great time for new attractions to open because there will be the school holidays and by then we will be six months out from the Commonwealth Games. “Everything we will have been working on will have come to fruition.” It comes as planning continues on a new 731 car space carpark for Movie World. Public consultation on the project, earmarked for a site on Michigan Drive ended in January and it is expected to go before the Gold Coast City Council’s planning committee for approval within weeks. More than 100 submissions were received from residents. Movie World is also understood to be proceeding with plans for a proposed hotel and waterside precinct on the site of the existing carpark. The nine-story boutique project has already been granted building approval and the Bulletin understands Village Roadshow is searching for an accommodation provider to partner with it on the development. source: GC Bulletin http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/news/movie-worlds-next-big-attraction-to-open-to-the-public-in-september/news-story/87326f600e8180b6aba8e1499d31c97a

Wow.. are we the top google search for RE7 forum? 2 new members join today and both of them have a first post about Resident Evil and disagreeing with me 'generaling' the zombie/dead thing genre..

I wasn't sure after reading your post... so just adding... This show is additional to the 2 Affinity presentations daily. Cant be bad thing... I guess.. no rides = "let's just make the dolphins work harder"

Damn it, you got me... no I haven't played RE7. Though I have played every iteration prior. i have seen a gameplay trailer and there looked like standard zombies to me... the thing with a property like RE is that if you fork out the $$ for the rights, you would need to draw from the entire series to do justice to it. You also would need to use 'generic' zombies/victims to simplify the costume/makeup requirements, just as they have in every other licensed property used before

Way too cryptic for me tonight... Is it a pot of gold? The missing track for the MW hyper? a Wanda executive with a large briefcase?

Was gonna say, if that's the stage 2 they've certainly spared no expense and gone all out... wooden stump - check Paint some aboriginal patterns - check stage 2 is open!

So you're wanting to keep the Gold Rush theming for the area?

Well there are quite a lot of triangles in the MW logo....

Haha... i don't want a walk-though or a monorail though...

I'd love to see an underwater viewing area for the crocs, but know that's probably asking too much.

Going off a conversation I had with Churro/dipping dots dude the other day (so am not vouching for accuracy here).. DW won't be looking at future water-based rides in the park, as the 'wet' section of the park will be WWW which they really want to push as being an inclusive land/part of DW itself. He said there had been no official word to staff on the future of RHLR the overall belief of staff is it's had it's last ride. But hey, we can always hope for an extension to WWW one day and maybe a modern flume ride over that side of the park.. As for the expanse of land that can be reclaimed by removing TRR, RHLR, Blue Lagoon etc.. I'd like to see: *a signature coaster for the northern boundary of the park - keeping in mind the entertainment precinct/boulevarde running from the Town Centre to a 'planned' additional gate for DW. * family dark ride to make use of the majority of the reclaimed from TRR & Eureka mountain

The team work here is amazing.. at this rate we'll be have the layout mapped, theme sorted and be able to call the Bulletin and make the announcement ourselves before MW does..

Jack - generic guy house - well they ain't gonna build a house so we're talking about 'rooms' so - generic spooky looking room... done.

Or just call it 'zombies' and save on the licensing fee...

Probably looking at 4-5 months, not all filming is on the GC but they'll have the studios secured for that time frame incase of reshoots etc. Id say that rules out the studios for FN again..

Good to see all effects and screens working and in good timing today on JL. also some work being done of the facade of the Main St Retail Store

Horrifying.

Yeah, probably was a little harsh, but do you believe that adding extra nights will bring about a higher visitation, or just a more even spread over the nights? if it's not going to bring them significant extra $$$ they won't invest in more nights, given the large operating costs per night. I pay an extra $2 a month, which admittedly is nothing, and would happily have that upped to $5 a month, maybe even $10, for access to the night events, IF the quality was improving on what we've seen from the last round of events which was WELL down on previous years IMO.. From memory the majority of fright night events in 2016 didn't sell out (correct me if I am wrong), so I don't know if you could justify extra nights..

So you hope they decrease profits by increasing costs... Please dont ever run a business..

Wow! i just found the finished coaster, was hiding behind the tree line..... in Russia...

Some of the wax figures came alive??

Yeah I can see the point... the anticipation was certainly a big part of it, I liked the openness of it in that the screams from the other groups were super audible from all around you due to it having no real physical walls/barriers. I also liked the eclectic mix of characters as opposed to F13 for instance were we have 3 actors playing Jason, 3 playing injured dude, and 3 playing injured chick

And also leave plenty of time for people to trip over on a set & sue... Film Vault? Not gonna lie it was one of my favs...

Anything is possible... but really isn't that just a maze with strobe lighting & smoke?
