Yep... Would sound so much more authentic if superman was rescuing people from Nerang train station from a tribe of bogans

Pity that temporary fencing isn't around eureka.

That would require the majority of Gold Rush to be fenced off... You couldn't demolish Eureka without closing the whole area down as there it is surrounded by other attractions

Why? It wasn't a dark ride. There was a pole just beside the lake on both sides, but never in the water.

Yeah. How dare they have accurate theming!

went to the GC Council and found this, Stage 1 has already happened. Stage 2 is most likely the next attraction

A major refurbishment hey? Zombie Evilution isn't in a bad condition, so it's obviously not a spruce-up refurb, probably something more along the lines of the attraction actually changing a bit. If Zombie Evilution was to go, that space as well as the stingray space and possibly some of the remaining thunderbolt land could accomodate a fairly decent rollercoaster. Or, a dark ride (wakey wakey push).

V8 supercars themed lazer shooting game zone with turbines.

I was thinking about this the other day, but basically you could have state themed areas, each divided into a couple of contrasting sub areas. Might go something like this: Queensland Great Barrier Reef - Undercover kids area with small flat rides. The little mermaid area at Disneysea might be a good basis. FNQ Rainforests - The E ticket ride here could be the Tully river rapids. It would start off as a typical rafting trip, but there would be a thunderstorm dark ride section that culminates in a "flash flood" and a final drop. Western Australia Nullabor Plain - An area themed like an outback airstrip and truck stop. The flagship ride would be a Soarin type ride in a hangar. Other attractions would be a few small kids flat rides, including a convoy ride. The main food outlet would be a Roadhouse. Pilbara - Themed like an iron ore mine, the flagship ride here would be a large roller coaster dropping into an ore pit, a B&M dive machine or similar. The loading station would be like this, with a fully themed queue of catwalks around rock crushers and so forth South Australia Barossa Valley - Imagine theming similar to what you see on Furius Baco, but of course with South Australian sandstone architecture. Rides could include a drunken barrel ride, and an S&S freespin called "The barrel roll". Murray River - Perhaps a river port, with a paddeboat ride? Victoria Goldfields - A Goldrush era area, with the flagship ride being a multi launch family terrain wooden coaster, similar to Grizzly Mountain at Hong Kong disneyland. Farmlands - A fun farm themed area for kids, with a mash up of an orchard, dairy farm, with tractor rides, one of those carousels like the one at Alton with farm animals, a kids flume ride down an irrigation channel. Northern Territory The Outback - Could be a wildlife section with Kakadu - Aboriginal Cultural Attractions (Yes I'm aware I'm knocking off the back half of dreamworld) New South Wales Sydney - This might be the main entrance area, and would be a microcosm of inner sydney, with federation architecture, and a street of terrace houses themed around a street carnival. Snowy Mountains - Flagship ride would be "Bushfire!" , a motion base dark ride where you join the volunteer fire brigade and head off down fire trails to face a bushfire at night.A small ski village area would contain family rides. Tasmania Dockside - Casablanca Place inspired area that features Australias maratime history. Could potentially have a splash battle ride around a port themed area. Wild Forests - Tall timber themed temperate forest. Attractions might include a flume, as well as adventure sport upcharge rides such as coaster ziplines and ropes courses. There might also be an ATV coaster like Juvelen. A family dark ride could involve a whimsical journey through a forest where you use torches to spot various native animals, with a score given depending on what you find.

I would love to be there Themeparkfan, but I won't be able to this time. We will probably never see steam return full time, and whilst running once a month is great, I do wish the park would commit to running more than that. Atleast every weekend would be great now wouldn't it?

If this is definitely happening I'll be so pleased that they are keeping a heritage piece of the park and doing what Disney does and pay homage to it by incorporating it near or in another attraction

I didn't receive specifics, but your findings look pretty spot on. Moving Boot Hill to that location, or anywhere along the backside of show stage for that matter, would look pretty good.

I suppose they could be planning to re-use the Boot Hill props. Maybe as props! For example in a future Fright Nights.

Step 1 - Flatten a bunch of land west of Brisbane (no one really cares for the ipswich area anyway) Step 2 - Get a large helicopter, or several large helicopters.....and some excavators.... Step 3 - Airlift all the Six Flags parks to Australia. Step 4 - Theme half the rides to dingos Step 5 - Theme the other half to shrimps on barbies Then sit back and watch the profits flow in.

Anything Australian needs Gum trees, with lots and lots of plum trees. A sheep or 2, a kangaroo, a clothesline out the back, verandah out the front and an old rocking chair. And Drop Bears.
