Actually it doesn't say that at all. What it does clearly show is that there is a 6 month approval for demolition works to take place at the location. Demolition needs to be completed by 14/12/12. Given entire buildings can be gutted and demolished within a few months, i dont think Bermuda will take anywhere near that long. You will find that all building/demolition approvals are for a set time frame, be it 6/12/24 months depending on the project. It is quite feasible that demo could be completed by September/October, giving a 6 month lead in time for construction of a new ride for a Easter opening 2013.

The current Mayor of the Gold Coast has returned from a trip to Las Vegas and says we need 5 casino's on the Gold Coast... don't think it will ever happen

No I am not getting them confused as well. She specifically spoke of a casino within SeaWorlds grounds and attached to SW resort

the local member for Southport was on the radio the other day, and had a few interesting tid-bits to add 1. She recently had delegates over from Dubai, who commented that half of SW was closed, and there were less attractions than when they were visiting 2 years ago 2. That there are discussions occurring with developers and SW about the possibility of building a casino 'within' the current grounds of SeaWorld - that will further attract the Asian tourists to the park/area/region.

wow! if that is not a post just for the sake of increasing your post count i don't know what is! While we are on the subject, i was going to go to Movieworld last weekend, but felt sick so didnt. Might go this weekend. Will let everyone know if it go or not later on.

What makes you say that? 2000 sq metres does not mean 2km wide by 2km long My house is on 480 sq metres of land - I sure as hell don't fit 4 football fields in there

I think he is.... The frontage (existing) is about 40m I'd estimate. Including the pre-show and simulators rooms you could probably estimate about 50m from front to back. That's 2000 m2 - so he is probably just about right

Announced today kids world passes are only $59 til June 30 2013 Bargain

1 - no idea but i would hazard a guess you would have to be 18+ for legal restrictions but could be wrong 2 - nope 3 - as you are going in winter, i doubt WWF is going to be on your itinerary so you cant just avoid that area of the park. Depending on what day of the week you are going - Get there 15 prior to opening time and i would do as follows: 1 - GL 2 - BWSS 3 - HSD 4 - AA: ST 5 - Lunch 6 - Scooby - the afternoon session of HSD will absorb a lot of the families so should be your quickest time to get on 7 - S:E - head straight there after Scooby and should still be minimal line - otherwise wait for the parade time to absorb some more people Should have you done by 3pm with a couple hours left for re-rides/Ice Age 4D etc 4 - Take it and hire a locker for $7 for the day, take it to HSD and any of the roving entertainment you want to record, then lock it up. 5 - check the thread about MW entertainment - there is a lot more roving stuff than i was aware of 6 - yes and no. Same ride layout, new carriages, queue and ride theme, and overall a different experience. Well worth a ride - the new trains IMO are a vast improvement

Whilst not attesting to having been on many oversea's woodies, i still rate Bush Beast way up there in my fav coasters Probably because i grew up at Wonderland with the Beastie being my first ever coaster, followed by Bush Beast

who the hell are the Janoskians??? never heard of them until MW posted on FB that werent allowed to camp out at the park overnight waiting for them... WTF??

haha... bad day Gazza?

Huh????

the fact is all those roving performers, the mazes and the staffing for those, not to mention extra shows, staff etc - cost a lot of money. I'd have no drama with my $89.99 renewal not including HFN or White Xmas because i can see where that $30 or $40 is being spent - on a one off amazing night event.

there is a better chance of a flying pig exhibit than DW getting a Kingda Ka replica. Also no chance in hell DW would be able to afford the Star Wars licence for an ongoing ride IMO.

Adding a foot/metre Adding a foot/metre of height will not make the Drop a better ride, nor make more visitors come to the park. Building a Kingda-Ka replica isn't feasible. Simple as that

completely understand that in value for money terms, $109 is still a steal... My grievance is that MW/SW have added much better rides & attractions in the previous 12 months, have more parks to access, but yet offer a discount for their returning pass holders. I would happily pay $150-$200 for a pass, but I think given DW/WWW additions vs MW/SW they cant justify the increase

its a joke really No loyalty discount for renewals, and passes have gone up from $99 last year (and it was a 13 month term). Meanwhile MW offers 3 parks for cheaper, 4 for the price of 3, and a renewal discount + new rides and attractions that are decent Wont be renewing DW/WWW thats for sure

Hell of a long monorail track from Oxenford to The Spit

To return, it would have had to have been there first! I'm almost certain the lucky few that have heard audio on the ride simply created it in their minds & tricked themselves into believing it was coming out of the speakers

Attraction will be officially revealed today

How is it a marketing nightmare?? Do you know anything about marketing?? GL and AA:ST opened within months of each other as well ... there was no marketing nightmare. What do you think? People might accidentally get in the queue to walk into the Roxy with DC/Justice League on the sign thinking it is actually the Justice League attraction at the front of the park that they just walked past on the way in?? I dont think the average MW attendee is that stupid. Given, it more than likely will not be anything DC related, but saying it couldn't be due to previous press releases about the BATR replacement & time frames and a 'marketing nightmare' make no sense at all. In fact when Journey opened, there wasnt even a marketing campaign to go with it. Changing the movie in the Roxy is not a major attraction (and god help us if the day ever comes that such a change is called a major anything) so i doubt they will make any real noise about it to be honest

Yeah no doubt Speilberg will be executive producer, as he was on JP2 and JP3 - basically his production house will be involved in development but other than a couple of trips to the set and his name in the credits i doubt Speilberg will have much to do with the final product (except maybe part of the 'idea' behind the movie). I hope they don't do a remake - regardless of technological advancements - you don't mess with certain movies - and JP is one of them. Just put the better technology into the new movie as either Part 4 of the previous trilogy or as a standalone movie. On the JP front - the original movie is currently being post-converted to 3D and will be released around June next year on the 20th Anniversary of release

Jurassic Park IV is a loooong way from production. Spielberg has an 'idea' as he announced as ComicCon a year ago - but currently there is no script or screenplay, and no confirmed cast or director, let alone a start date. It'll be a miracle if we see it prior to 2015-16 - if it happens at all. As you said, you like to dream, and with the chances of a replica or new JP themed water ride being introduced in Australia pretty much a zero, thats what you'll have to keep doing!

no doubt there are probably better franchises and movie rights they could utilise. I, for one, think that Justice League/DC Universe would be a theme that could transfer well and utilise a 4D experience - much better than say Journey. I'm not talking live action - i'm talking animated ie. Batman Year 1 etc. I also do see the majority of people don't want further DC based attractions given that is all we have had in years - so a different theme is probably more likely and will be better received.
