I do like the running water effect they’ve installed around vortex IMG_3607.MOV

But there will be 3 access points into the land, so it can’t be that bad. Yes the area isn’t massive, but it will work as well as the rest of the areas across the park

Trust me new Atlantis will be one of those areas where it will have to be blocked off and let a certain amount of people in at a time when leviathan opens because of how small the land is

Really excited for this ride. I can already start to imagine how zippy it will be & how much it will pack into a small/medium size woodie. It will probably be most Aussie’s first wooden coaster credit, & it will be great to see their reactions. I really think it will pave the way for new family coasters here in Aus showing that you don’t need huge stats to be a standout attraction.

You would need around $300,000,000 dollars at average to build something like Wonderland. But they're just gonna make it over $1,000,000,000. They did that for the South West Rail Link!

Did your kid take the computer

Worlds of wonder is still in town planning phase because I sent him an email last year Nov and said this 'The project is still in town planning phase, and will still take some time yet.' Regards, Ammar Khan

Good ones. Or any for that matter, just new theme park in Australia pls.

One of my most vivid childhood memories is sitting in the Australia Fair food court eating Hot n Spicy chicken from KFC for the first time and watching the Bermuda Triangle volcano shooting its flames off every minute or so. Iconic AF.

Not sure if this is new or if I’ve never noticed it before; but here’s a sign

Half the lift hill has been painted

Wasn't ASW a VRTP proposal? I'm certain there was a literal butt-tonne of discussion on Parkz over that proposal so you'd probably find the concepts and such with a little Parkz search....?

It's also worth nothing that TRR was in line for a massive overhaul a couple of months after the accident actually occurred. No where near enough to bring it to even an acceptable standard though. If the proposal was followed in full, there would have been multiple extra, HD monitors added to the op booth and a complete teardown and rebuild of the PLC's. Surprisingly no upgrades were planned for the conveyor, so even if the full upgrade went ahead, the slats could have still been the cause of a disaster. Less likely though as spacing would occur from the moment you enter the lift hill and be entirely computer controlled. Much like how Snowy River Rampage at Wonderland was designed. Not known: How many e-stops were planned to exist after the upgrade. TOT, oh boy, they tried so hard to revive that thing but it was a battle they weren't going to win. Making the decision to blow through the last of the spare parts to give it a good send off was definitely worth it. Even if the full upgrade was done when the car got flipped, it would have still only had a few more years left in it. SFMM is super lucky that they were able to cannibalise TOT for parts because theirs on its very last legs too. Estimates are that it's only got a couple more years left in it, at best, thanks to the parts. Wipeout was like TOT. A retired legacy product that the manufacturer no longer supports. Even less so than TOT because Intamin were a lot more keen to try and keep the final two towers running. Vekoma weren't as keen to keep the second last Waikiki Super Flip running. The only other one existed in Mexico and closed down about a year after Wipeout did. Most likely due to the more relaxed regulations in Mexico compared to Australia. Some of the parts of wipeout were so beyond repair that they were about 70% welding material. The reason they were able to run it for so long before finally pulling the trigger was because before all hell broke loose, they had ordered parts to be custom made. Those couple custom pieces are why it was able to limp around in its final months. Same with why it was such a challenge to park and operate in its final days. All the parts were cooked and they had to be delicate and careful to not just implode what was left and kill the ride even earlier than planned. Log ride was a matter of time because the concrete troughs have some damage but it's also a solid, traditional ride with minimal moving parts. The troughs were damaged further during deconstruction of the cave areas and the logs were getting torn apart by the cages. So if TRR didn't happen, I'd say this ride would have stuck around for many, many more years. If TRR didn't happen and management never changed. TOT and Wipeout would have been SBNO within a few years anyway.

I would imagine the majority are pass holder redemptions because it’s at SW I feel like most people might see it as too far out the way for them and because it has started towards the end of the school holidays they have missed the major part of the holiday rush.

It was also great to see they had green tape on the ground to create an extended queue for the most popular rides in the park

@Skeeta I’ll let you know

This Friday and Saturday have sold out as well as the 18th

My thoughts exactly

The ad said this Summer

@Brad2912 this is exactly what I was referring to a couple weeks ago in the discussion about MW in the summer. Within WWF there is rubbish everywhere every single day because people are pigs and there is only one bin at the end of the queue
