Firstly, regarding the concern of the Log Rides future, it has been cleaned up and looked much better today. There is a new pass soon to be offered which grants access to WWW from December through to February, yet to be announced. The emphasis on Australia’s biggest theme park seems to be back with this being a key feature on the billboard updates. It’s also at the front of the park when you enter now. The smaller billboard features Sky Voyager and a new show coming these summer holidays. The repaint has started on Temple of Huey but only on the snake head of one slide. Fully Six has some sort of entrance being constructed. Finally, the pathing near TOT has had lighting installed above it.

They've started installing edge guards on the orange and blue slide now too.

It’s entry from December to February for 99 dollars to WWW which is odd because I thought you would at least get entry into both parks. The billboard isn’t complete yet. I’d guess an announcement will come tonight or tomorrow.

Definitely have a choice of single or double tubes

Ah good to see they're not planning on taking advantage of when all those big spending tourists are in town. Bravo SW for missing the mark again 😃 EDIT Why is the map orientated so you're entering from the top and mentally have to flip everything around? Like I know pointing out how shit the maps are is beating a dead horse at this point because of the design they've gone with but what the actual..? Did someone at SW install the GPS in their car upside down and they think that's how maps work now? 2nd EDIT You know who might like going to Carnivale? SW resort guests. It's like 'Should we open the Monor''NOPE MONORAIL IS CLOSED EAT AT SHORELINE DON'T GO TO SEA WORLD WE'RE A RESORT COMPANY NOT A THEME PARK.'

^ At 1:14 It seems like they are using the trolls entrance sign for fully 6 signage. Great that they are reusing it instead of just throwing it away.

Just drove past but noticed too late to take a photo but the northbound facing billboard at DW is advertising a “Splash Pass” which I assume is a seasonal pass? Or a yearly WWW pass. Think I saw $99 on the sign but could be wrong.

Even more off topic, and I know its only minor but I do like the how HWSW goes around the slides. Our parks need more ride interactions. Be it, rollercoasters over paths or with other rollercoasters.

You must be twins.

The roof framing was removed a couple weeks ago, if a crane is there maybe the new roof is being installed

I know it's a sensitive topic, but it'd be crazy to get rid of a water ride at a Gold Coast theme park and not replace it with another water ride. Especially one that caters so well to a broad market.

Getting the signage down before the peak holiday season helps to forget that it is there, rather than have people, who don't know the ride has closed for good, turn up expecting to ride.

The GIF did work for me @AlexB but as it was the 1st time I've embedded a GIF on Parkz, I wasn't sure if other forum members could see it so I wrote a full description particularly if @Jamberoo Action Park removes the GIF from their website one day. With the 2016/17 season starting on the 24th of September, Jamberoo Action Park has started selling 2016/17 season passes today. Prices are below - quoted from Jamberoo's website. The 2016/17 season finishes on ANZAC Day 2017. Season Pass Prices for the 2016/17 season: From the 2015/16 Jamberoo Action Park season, season passes purchased online prior to 01/09/2015 have increased by $10 while the other general season pass options have increased by $10 except purchasing the season pass at the park (There is a chance Jamberoo just has not updated their website fully yet so maybe except a $10 increase in that price too). A $4.95 transaction fee applies online too. Season pass holders also get a chance to win a $200 Kodak Moments voucher on Australia Day next year. If you buy a season pass prior to 1st September 2016, you also get the chance to win a double zipline pass at The Illawarra Fly. There are no changes to opening hours. There are changes to season dates from last season: Open all weekends, the whole month of February, Fridays during November, Monday the 13th of March 2017 & the Primary School-Only Day this season is Tuesday the 13th of December 2016. The Park is also closed on Monday the 5th of December 2016. Other tickets go on sale in September. Here is Jamberoo's new television commercial and this confirms the ride name without a doubt... Note that the television commercial refers to "the tallest, longest high thrill water ride ever built". It would have to rival Funnel Web to have that claim as Funnel Web had a similar claim when that opened in 2012. So The Perfect Storm is the name of Jamberoo's new ride as you can see on Jamberoo's new Facebook page cover photo: To ride The Perfect Storm, each participant has to be over 120 centimetres in height & all participants must have a combined weight of between 70 and 320 kilograms. But here comes what we all waited for...from Jamberoo's official website: As you can see in the GIF above, it does feature a Tantrum Alley at the start as speculated and it is also a hybrid ride as speculated. The 'finale' to this new high thrill water raft ride is a Tornado. So the last 2 questions have definitely been answered and I'm now confident the first 2 questions are answered too. I believe Koala Creek & Platypus River are not part of Stage 2 as they were not added to Jamberoo's list of rides on their website today so both of those rides have been delayed. Opinion In my opinion, I am really surprised Jamberoo chose to add another Tornado to the park particularly right next to another Tornado with a different theme but with a near-identical colour scheme. I would've preferred the Behemoth Bowl hybrid (they could've themed it as a 'dust bowl'). The Tantrum Alley is a nice new feature though (and I don't mind it as it is different) but after 3 years of waiting for a new ride, the main feature being a Tornado has been an anti-climax. The general public will not notice the similarities between Funnel Web & The Perfect Storm unless they see images of the ride or until they see the rides in the park side by side and then they may be disappointed. This is because the promotions of The Perfect Storm are mainly of the theme so far, which give little indication of what the new ride is (unless you are theme park enthusiasts like us of course, then you can figure out the clues easily) so if Jamberoo promotes the theme rather than the ride type until February next year, people will come in large numbers like they want but only to possibly have disappointed visitors once they are inside the Park. I haven't been to Jamberoo since before Funnel Web opened so I'm going to Jamberoo eventually to ride new rides regardless but had I been already, The Perfect Storm wouldn't have made me extra eager to visit Jamberoo again. This is going to make the future stand-alone Tantrum Alley (part of Emu Mountain Rapids) really odd. I would be really interested to hear what other forum members think about this choice of hybrid. So to conclude, from the theme park with Billabong Beach & Banjo's Billabong, we now give you 2 Tornadoes side by side with nearly the same colour scheme.
