Yeah, makes it sound like the town planner comes back and says "hey if you close the park and sell it to a developer and you can pay off all your debts and open up another 50 Main Event centre in the US" then they'll consider it. Im hoping it means clearing the land around the studios and developing it into an entertainment precinct as was the original plan, put an AMF/M9, some restaurants and maybe a hotel between the park and Foxwell

The Stage is used for the parade, and VIP areas at the night events. Seems strange to remove it

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Sunday 5th November will be final day of the SDSC. Boxing Day 2017 will see a 'new' themed attraction open

Nice find! A lot of interesting info in their thats for sure. For those who have been getting snaps recently, does Park P&G look like it's only 5 days from opening? They've done well so far with the iconic brands coming in. I'd love to see them get an American burger joint outlet in there, maybe an In N Out Burger or something similar. repurposing land sounds great, and I'd hope would be focused around GoldRush & the old waterpark definitely sounds like we won't be getting any 'wow' rides, that they will be more attraction/experience based. That focus could work just fine, but they would need to be both unique and very well executed to draw uplifted attendance.

@mission I think you are way off tbh... I know i was begging my parents to take me on holidays to Qld to go on WWW when it opened, and SDSC. And they were trips we made. Instead of going to Melbourne or some other destination, the promotion of a new exciting ride that would make their kid/young teenager happy is what made my parents decide on the location of our holiday. Most of my friends were in the same situation. I think the vast majority of family holidays are planned around what will keep the kids entertained, and theme parks play a major deciding part in that discussion in most households

Rightio... here we go again... for the dude in the back who wasn't Paying attention.... when you are investing X amount of dollars in an attraction/project/product, the number one focus is ROI, and not far off that is the breakeven time line (i.e. When the project/product will have created enough revenue to have paid for itself). So YES, whether people/families/groups/tours come in September/October as opposed to next Easter is a MASSIVE deal, especially in the current negative climate the parks are operating in. That's 6 months of positive reviews, word of mouth, personally referrals, VIP pass sales, Tour bookings, return visits that you are missing out on.

Well this thread has descended into a clusterf**k of whinging, whining and nit-picking. lets all sing kumbaya and move the f**k on.

Sorry @wikiverse but I pretty much categorically disagree with everything you've said. I would outline how and why but @Slick has done a good job of saying what I would have (well a better job actually). All I will mention is I don't know many people who plan interstate holidays only 6 weeks out. Most in any type of semi-serious role would need to book annual leave further out than that, especially given its school holidays (most school holiday leave where I work is requested 9-12 months out).

Good points @AlexB they all sound feasible, I just struggle to see how anyone at VTP thought a Coaster themed to suicide squad was ever going to be easy to market. Too many negative connotations to the word Suicide, it just doesn't fit the theme of 'fun' which is what theme parks are about. Also, MW's take on the DC properties has always been based on the comic iterations as opposed to the cinematic universe, and the colour scheme for SS of the vibrant purple/magenta/whatever is only tied to the cinematic version of SS, the comics doesn't have colouring in its logo/themes. As for production of merch to validate a poor colour choice/theme on a coaster, it would be laughable if true, but so is the handling of the marketing of this Coaster, so I wouldn't put it past them..

Why do they need a double storey cabana? Upstairs bedroom for frisky teens?

If Batman appeared in and narrated the videos, everyone would pay attention... no one delivers a message better than batman..

So we can buy tickets to an attraction that is still in the planning stage, but don't even know the name of a partially constructed Coaster... seems MW need to employ the snow parks marketing team

Where have the Batmobile's gone?? the one from the Gotham Town Hall is gone, as are the bikes. And Batman walked the parade, with no Tumbler in sight... the batman shop is closed... its a #batspiracy!!!

It's not? is in a fortnight though as discussed here

If you've ever been on: SDSC, SE, JL, GL, WWF, AA then the answer to your question is yes. All of those rides constantly have timing/effects issues

How can u disagree with people saying TC and then list what in your opinion are better coasters, when you haven't ridden any of them, or TC for that matter? Im taking this topic as being "best Coaster you've ridden" as everyone has different opinions and likes/dislikes. It's really the only way it can be taken its like me saying "I can't understand why anyone thinks The Godfather is the best movie when Goodfellas is better, oh, but I've never watched either".

Rumoured for many years, but never come to fruition. I think the Phantom has had its day given it doesn't belong to any of the superhero "groups" which are what's interlinking all these DC/Marvel movies.

No one under 18 unless an avid comic book reader would even know The Phantom. Billy Zane has a lot to answer for...

I'd argue that any decent wooden coaster would be more thrilling than a lot of rides on the coast. I'd hardly see it as a stepping stone unless it was a small woody

Which is why I wouldn't do it, but that's playing it smart, not playing it safe. in saying that, what will they say when RHLR re-opens? At some point you need to believe in the message you deliver rather than the media

Because they could build a new Rapids ride and the chances of a fatal accident is no more likely to occur than what the chances were on any of the thousands of operational days that TRR functioned safely on. Just because they had an accident doesn't make it more likely there will be another one, regardless of the type of ride. Whilst they certainly won't install another water based ride anytime in the near future, there is nothing stopping them rolling out a massive coaster or any sort of extreme thrill ride if they so chose to

The station plans didn't seem as though they would incorporate anything beyond standard 2 abreast seated trains

When everyone on your page already knows what times the parks open, I guess the only thing left to post about is condiments...

Blair Witch would be an interesting option, and could make good usage of the outdoor/tree props. Ive always thought a Scream Maze would be an easy do as really it would work in any generic set at all. Texax Chainsaw to me wouldn't have much point of difference to HillBilly Slasher. Alien wouldn't work without animatronics which won't happen.
