Movie World Maintenance Schedule 2025

Credit to MovieWorld for actually acknowledging and explaining the situation, they very rarely do that. Hopefully they don’t pull a Six Flags KingDa Ka moment on us though.

It's strange how you can complete maintenance of GL ahead of schedule when you're in a situation where another ride has gone down and presumably also requires people to spend time investigating it too.

To be fair, the coaster did close almost a month early because a car valleying, however if Superman and Flash didn’t close as well, I definitely wouldn’t have thought they would be opening the coaster almost a month early

With all the other accelerators around the world going down or getting retrofitted, I'm wondering how long Superman has left.

Or... they've investigated the issue, now have to sit and wait for the manufacturer to sort it out. Meaning you now have more crew with nothing to do.

GL valleyed on the 20th of July and maintenance schedule was due to start on the 23rd of July.  MW has shown us before they can maintain a ride a lot quicker then MW currently do and why I believe, maintenance is dragged out to reduce ruining cost.

I'm of two minds about SE's future.

Positive Thoughts:
While the accelerators aren't sold anymore, outside of TTD/Kinga Ka we haven't really seen any permanently removed yet (others have been relocated). Xcelerator has had a recent lengthy downtime, but was returned to service, and has now had KK's parts sent over to be used.

Negative Thoughts:
The ride is 20 years old this year, it's not going to last forever. MW has demonstrated in the past that they plan to keep things open and operational, until they don't, and the ride gets quietly shuttered and demolished.

Future Thoughts:
Intamin LSM launches are 'good enough' in that you'll have a thrilling ride still if they were to retrofit it somehow or replace it with something like a blitz model (like Maverick but with newer more comfortable trains). It won't be punchy as the hydraulic launch but it will be cheaper to maintain.

The cost of maintaining vs the cost of replacing will be the main driver for Superman's longevity.

i could see them replacing the launch with LSM’s and replacing the trains with new gen blitz trains. 

I wonder what’s going on with Flash, it’s meant to be open for fright nights still but it has been closed alongside Superman, with the trains removed from the tracks.
