1 day combined at Disney is a waste of time. there is also no park hopper tickets in Japan so you’d be paying 2 separate full day entries re: USJ There is a long time before you go, the express pass offerings and even available rides will change so impossible to judge now

Went to Japan in December just gone April/May is peak season for them with cherry blossoms their parks are crazy busy so just be prepared factor in express passes for universal, they are expensive but basically a necessity unless you like spending 90% of your day in queues. We did one day with passes and one without and worked well We didn’t have time to explore Osaka in our trip so can’t make too many recommendations aside from universal and the aquarium which is quite amazing compared to anything you’ll find in Australia Tokyo wise - you have Land and Sea. To be done properly you probably need 2 days at each i’d also recommend Team Labs Planet, Akihabara for all things pop culture, video games and animal cafes. Shibuya for shopping (Pokemon centre, Nintendo store etc). Joypolis is super fun. no matter how much time you have, it won’t be enough

When did I ever see village is evil and dreamworld is amazing. MWs aura has faded somewhat no doubt but that doesn’t make me shit can everything they do the lighting on the DW flyer is tacky as hell, and my initial thought after seeing these photos and after what has been a good marketing build up theme wise was “why would MW have made the same mistake”. Not too sure how many times i can apologise. Autism is a cause close to my heart and I feel horrendous for misconstruing a theme choice in honour of it.

Unaware of the context, would never ever have said that if I knew the meaning behind the colour, thought they’d just gone and made it look like a cheap carnival ride rather than keeping with the flash theme. Fantastic that is can be altered to suit themes and the “standard” will be red yellow apologies for any offence caused to anyone I’ve apologised for not realising the context behind the photos

*apologies for any offence caused, was unaware they had chosen these colours for a specific cause and thought that was a permanent lighting choice. again, my apologies

Great transparency by MW

They've just released an audio clip for people to try and guess what it is. Its just background noise but i'm sure someone may be able to place it.

Hate to say it mate, but NO ONE has any idea what you are trying to get at under the weight a mass information on why what you are saying makes little sense

They are applying for an extension as their planning permission expires next month and they haven’t had time to execute due to Covid and other priorities like the hotel etc etc

Despite my dislike for the show itself, the arena should and likely will always have its place. People need somewhere to chill for a bit, get out of the sun/weather etc, and it’s a crowd crowd soaker on peak days. any show reintroductions to the show stage should be additional to the outdoor arena

Is a good little video. Would have been nice to throw in an interview with someone of note to give it a more personalised touch especially for those not aware of how the ride operates, but that’s me being picky

we can hope. Or maybe they are just typing this to the max because they realise how uninspiring it is - so they need to create hype rather than it coming naturally

I reckon it will rely heavily on how difficult it is to build a ride within a ride, even when you only have to move it from your neighbouring property

Nice. Should have waited until around 8-9am however for it to sound a little more plausible. 6/10

Maybe movieworld should do a Steamboat Mickey ride, or Winnie the Pooh. That’ll get some media buzz.

Theme parks rights may work differently to the overall rights to the book

It’s the end of the showcase concept

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.

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.

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.

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.

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??)

Seems as good a place as any to post this… nice little subtle dig at the park down the road….
