All Activity

Believe it or not... this was briefly on display on the Tiger Island screen. It's the layout for MM, plus a few bits of concept art! Bye bye to Motocoaster's entrance!

GCTP on YouTube has captured some theming and station gates being stored behind the park (alongside the ride leading to PC)

Makes sense given that SX-360 was a Technical Park attraction. Probably brought at the same time as a bundle. Looks to be a pretty good fit for the park IMO, and similar to Tailspin but also different at the same time. Curious as to how it will be themed too.

Aussie World’s new ride is a Technical Park Aerobat

I'm hearing the ride is cycling today with passengers. Not sure if they're staff to get the cycle count up for ops or if it has soft opened, but seems like it will be announced as open any day now.

I'll wait to the snow melts, so my face doesn't turn into a ice block.

Because it has been ages! We first saw markings on site in February and the slab was poured late April/early May

Yeah I wasn't a comparing t at all I was just curious cause it feels like its been ages since the flash construction started.

Bigger coaster and brand new as opposed to a relocated coaster with 10 pieces of track and a couple of support columns apples and oranges mate

It was testing all afternoon today with ops staff I hear they must be getting up its 500 cycles prior to being allowed to open

Hardly an apples for apples comparison, given the perilous financial position of the park and other events happening over that period.

The track started to arrive during the April 2020 lockdowns (as it was supposed to open December that year), so 20 months after it arrived as it didn’t open until December 2021.

20mins.

How long did it take for Steel Taipan to open after the track arrived ?

It still amazes me how long this actually took. We first saw movement on site in February 2023 and 15 months later, it’s finally going to open. For comparison, it took about 9 months for Surfrider to open after track first arrived at WnW.

Due to open June 8th https://snowbrains.com/thredbo-mountain-resort-australia-announces-opening-date-of-new-alpine-coaster/

This is what I've heard!

Looks like the construction wall's down

It's a Clayton's Announcement.

What you do when you have nothing to announce.

Thankyou for announcing the announcement that an announcement was about to be announced.

We have an announcement! Opening day to be announced soon! 🤣🤣

When do we think it will be scheduled to open... Middle or end of May? Will they have a soft opening?

Both of VRTPs SBF Visa rides are under maintenance, Trident and Martian the Marvin: Cosmic Boom. Tridents scheduled maintenance was from 12 Feb - 14 Mar 2024 and yet it is still under maintenance. Same with Martian the Marvin: Cosmic Boom, it was scheduled originally for 12 Feb - 22 Mar 2024 and it's been extended until 20 May, 2024. Seems like they deliberately grouped the rides maintenance periods together, but it seems to've bitten them in the ass. What did they do to both of rides that has lead to these delays in reopening (M&M:CB) and the other one (Trident) not certain when it will reopen. I was at Sea World on the long weekend and I tried my best to get a photo of Tridents maintenance but it's just awkward to do but here's my best description of what's happening. The whole ride gondola section (the thing that climbs the tower) is still being reassembled? The panels are off on the sides and you can see all the inner working of it. Lots of ladders around but no work actively happening disappointing to see but clearly there are some issues? It does look like it's closer to reopening as it from what I could see all of the chairs were attached. To my surprise they were actually working on Jet Rescues' Maintenance on a weekend! Very hard to get a photo of as they've put up a black mesh material that just doesn't let you take a decent picture but you can look through it in person. Most of the track is covered in scaffolding with white parts all throughout the track, possible repainting or smoothing of joints of the track? I'm not sure. I could also see maintenance staff working on what I assumed was the train as it was the load station part from the lift hill of Storm. On another note I've never been able to find what happened to the 2nd train for Jet Rescue? Are the using it for parts, or the fact that the ride never seems to have a queue longer than 10 minutes deeming 2 train operations not necessary. If they want a new train for it, buy it from the SBNO clone of the ride at Wonderland Eurasia.

The park has posted a story on their instagram that an opening date announcement will be coming soon.
