WB Studio Showcase - 2019/20 Edition

[themagician]

All the Aquaman posters and signage has now been replaced. Where it states ‘Aquaman: The Exhibit’ now just says WB Studio Showcase. And all the posters for the new films inside the exhibit have been put up. Asked a staff member and they believe it will be opening in the first half of November

Anything on what those posters are of?

[themagician]

The posters are just the actual movie posters for The Great Gatsby, A Star is Born, Mad Max, Wonder Woman, Shazam and Suicide Squad.

Here is a look at said posters

There were some park officials working in and out of the exhibit this morning, so I would say it is pretty much finished

Wow, that looks great...

As previously “scooped” by a Movie World Fan Club page. Opening November 1.

Village has clearly forgotten their Premier Membership holders.

That's what I was thinking. Where's my invitation? TBH I probably wouldn't bother going anyway but anyone would at least appreciate the loyalty for years and years of monthly repayments..

Wrote an email about this very thing today actually.... it’s total BS!

Couldn’t agree more.

I would say it’s because they are wanting to phase out those passes. DW already got rid of theirs, so there’s no reason for VRTP keeling theirs. They’ll be loosing money of them because you get access to FNs too and the premium pass costs less than a Locals One Pass. I’m predicting by the end of the financial year they’ll be gone, but will offer an special offer to change over to a One Pass

[westical]

Or they could just put the price up. 

[themagician]

But they don’t offer or advertise it anywhere anymore and if they want to phase it out, they aren’t going to do that

Many of the "exclusive to one pass holders" emails also come to me, as a membership holder.

I think it would be a bit rough for Village to phase it out entirely - its a very big slap in the face to those who have shown the loyalty of sticking with it this whole time, in addition to purchasing what was, at the time, their most premium tiered product.

I'd be quite ok for them to put the price up if they felt it needed - and offer it only to those on existing memberships...

They would just advise existing members of a price rise, it would be easier than forcing everyone to buy a new pass.

Maybe not. They ditched their pay by the month option when they stopped offering memberships, and now offer Afterpay instead - which, while still breaking the cost up into smaller payments, isn't recurring, is paid off over a shorter time period, and, I assume since every retailer and his dog uses Afterpay or Zip or similar, that they probably don't suffer from the same reliability issues that membership direct debits once did.

I presume the only reason they continue to utilise the old direct debit provider for memberships is because its already set that way. If they had decided to change anything, it'd probably be easier to throw a discounted one pass offer at the membership and 'take it or leave it'

[Park Addict 93]

I think their main consideration on continuing the memberships would be if the deem it profitable enough after DebitSuccess’s cut. I think they will discontinue them, question is more when.

Back on topic, the Showcase is looking great, attention to detail not so much... (it’s Zachary Levi)

I checked out the new exhibit this morning and think it’s a great addition to the park. Nice theming at the entry/queue area for the attraction 

It’s great to be able to get up close to the costumes and I like they got mannequins to match the actor/actress who player each character. It is a shame they don’t have more set pieces, but I assume these either no longer exist or they didn’t have access to them as they weren’t filmed at the studios next door 

[T-bone]

There's "Good", and then theres Good! The Themeing for the entrance is "Good", just like Ghost Train Themeing is "Good"..

Nice theming

It's hard to tell from the pic, are those bricks 3D or is it a printed flat?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I'm pretty certain its a printed flat.

They were probably too scared to go with 3D brick panels after the shambles that was the doomsday store.

Its a shame.... I know of a guy who has some panels he isn't using...

Let's gooooo Vekoma Madhouse.

[Smol bean]

So will they go with a specific movie again or another set of moves 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

The movie industry has been a lot quieter with covid over the past year - the only thing that comes to mind is maybe wonder woman?
