Iterative update: Perhaps unfortunately, the plans for the filled-in drop plot of land are becoming clear: Seemingly, it’s just going to be used as a path connection from the food court to Storm. After talking to staff, they didn’t know/couldn’t say for sure what it’ll be, but one stated that they believed grass’ll be planted. Also, something that I can’t see previously being highlighted (but if it has been, my apologies) is that trees have been planted in the area, adjacent to the path. Photos: Onto something a tad more interesting, another tidbit that I haven’t seen pointed out yet is that new wooden fencing seems to have gone up near the castle, as well as beside the ex-station for the Log Flume. The castle itself is open, and its interior seems to be mostly gutted, or being used for the construction. Don’t know if that is necessarily new, but I only noticed it today, as is the case with the fencing & planted trees. Again, apologies if any of this is rehashing already known information.

Must me part of their new management stratergy. Firstly they blame their customers for a ride's operations being reduced (Doomsday) and now this.

Judging from their tiktok livestream tonight, they’ve brought back pre-shows to every maze.. Definitely adds to the experience, reminds me of early 2010’s FN.

Currently the Aussie World Big Wheel is stated as closed on the website and from reports has been removed from the skyline of the park. Lets just hope that its down for a major refurb/maintenance. I feel that if it was not going to return then this would be reflected on the website and also the park map, which still shows it as being in place. From the ride list above, I would hope that the Aerobat is the ride being installed. This would be an Australian first for this type of ride and gives Aussie World another unique offering. I do agree with @DaptoFunlandGuy though the orientation of the slab that has been teased does not look like it will accommodate this type of ride. In that sense, it certaily doesnt look like a StarFlyer's orientation as well, so we may very well be seeing something completely unexepected. I echo the calls for a Zamperla Nebulaz - this ride would be an Australian first, a great family thrill ride and perfect for Aussie World with a small footprint- and one that would fit in that area extremely well! However, I would love for them ( or any Australian Park really ) to install a Zamperla Gryphon. These are now gaining popularity and have 2 installations currently with one at Kennywood and the other at Playland in the US. They certainly look fantastic , bringing lots of kinectic energy to any midway. They are reported to be not overly intense and would make another great option as a family thrill ride, which is this park's main demographic.

I've never ridden one, but if Reef Diver and TailSpin had a baby would it be an Aerobat?

@themagician AW could struggle to grow if it offers attractions only for the locals. I traveled from the coast to ride Dingo Racer but would would never travel for something I can ride on the coast.

If they want to do another spinning ride, get a NebulaZ.
