I believe it's been mostly fixed now since the major refurb. But I just wonder why some of those issues like faulty animatronics and blown speakers couldn't have been fixed by MW's in-house maintenance team. The ride should surely be able to be kept at a certain standard, and not just have it deteriorate until the original manufacturers have to be brought in again many years later

Definitely feel like there's way too much flat comic book panel theming happening in that part of the park, way, way too much. Especially when it's supposed to be a movie park. But I can understand a very limited budget for theming for the Flash as I'm assuming they have planned for a limited life expectancy, considering the ride's age and previous issues. Wouldn't want to over capitalise

You certainly can't fault Greg's vision. A well themed family coaster is something we pretty much all agreed would be ideal for DW. And making it a semi dark ride is the icing on the cake. So glad he is placing such a big emphasis on theming and practical effects

Movie World Scheduled Maintenance 2024
GoGoBoy replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
VRTP would have to be pretty pissed that two newer rides are performing so badly. For a park with an already fairly small inventory, that's gotta really hurt. They would have planned to get many many more years out of them -
Disney's Animal Kingdom + Avatar, November 2023
GoGoBoy replied to Gazza's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I was really disappointed with how Navi River Journey turned out. The artists impressions when it was being built looked great, but as soon as I saw the small size of the show building under construction, I knew it was going to be underwhelming. Could have become another classic Disney dark boat ride, but it's quite far from that- 1 reply

Dreamworld post Rivertown - Whats next?
GoGoBoy replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
When you look at Dreamworld currently, it really feels like a mid tier park at best. More regional than mainstream. Reminds me of some of the smaller parks in the UK. Whereas previously it was considered a major theme park with blockbuster attractions. It was a park that pretty much everyone visited when they went to the Coast. I think some of the suggestions above would help it get back to this status, or at least closer. I can see attendance getting back up to previous levels in this case, and so far there has been some very decent investment, but I just wonder if the current owners will have the financial capacity and/or willingness to take it there? -
Ardent Leisure RE-Branded as Coast Entertainment Holdings (CEH)
GoGoBoy replied to Tim Dasco's topic in Theme Park Discussion
So much better. Ardent was such a dumb name. Not that it really matters, none of this is public facing stuff -
Beetlejuice is returning to Movie World
GoGoBoy replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
While the focus in Wicked is on the witches, pretty much all of those things you mention above are actually in the musical. Example, Fiero becomes the Scarecrow, so you definitely can't say he's not in it! -
Apparently the contract has gone to the same guy who did Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster Next Generation. Kidding.

Dear god, the copy on that page is so badly written and below their usual standard. They also used the term 'precinct' instead of land, sadly following VRTP's lead

Big Banana plans $50 million dollar expansion over the next 20 years
GoGoBoy replied to Jobe's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I always wondered why they built such a seemingly expensive permanent shelter for that attraction. But I'm assuming the new bumper cars would be too big to fit under it? -
Oh I didn't realise the map path colours matched the actual path colours - figured it was done for the map only to delineate the themed areas

Wonder why the blue path to signify the Ocean Parade doesn't continue through to Serpent Slayer? Maybe because it would make the kids area look too small on the map?

Dreamworld’s Ocean Parade Expansion 2023
GoGoBoy replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Am I the only one who thinks this new area looks hideous? Like really ugly? -
I was going to say this!! I've always thought a Screamin' Swing would be perfect for this spot. A really fun popular ride, and it would swing out over the water on both sides. Not many places in the world where this style of ride is more perfectly suited for. Plus you could give the columns some nice Atlantean theming

Dreamworld’s Ocean Parade Expansion 2023
GoGoBoy replied to themagician's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Who doesn't love a fake rock? -
Both of those look great!! Very promising! Love that DW is going down the themed route - hopefully learning from the trend at other parks worldwide

Looks like there will be a nice long master blaster judging but the updated concept art too - looking forward to that!

Sandy Shores Lagoon Refurbishment at Sea World 2023

So those shade sails are for the dolphins, right? -
Pretty sure they got rid of the ropes a while back, much to the delight of all the WB Kids' attendants

Everything about the new logo and branding makes it look like it was done in Microsoft Paint. Which is a shame, because the old logo was awesome

Rocky Hollow Log Ride Demolition - Dreamworld
GoGoBoy replied to mssveattck's topic in Theme Park Discussion
If DW are already reluctant to add another water ride, I can't see them adding a water ride that is intentionally meant to feel unstable
