  1. Caught up with Shawn and Charlotte, today. They seem really down to earth. Adventure World was packed and they weren’t too impressed with the operations (Abyss was only running one train). 

    However, they really enjoyed Abyss and Goliath. They had plenty of positive things to say about a lot of the attractions. However, they overheard that it took some people an hour to get their food. 

    They’re in Perth until tomorrow, when they head off to Malaysia.

    That’s exciting! I hope they get pleasantly surprised by Steal Taipan. It’s really actually good even if it’s somewhat a clone. I feel like it doesn’t get much from coaster enthusiasts.  Also interesting they left out Perth? But are going to rainbows end?

    Really enjoyed Rainbows End. They’re also going to Hobbiton and other places over in NZ.

    Curious about this one.

    It’s a triotech dark ride system similar to the ones they have In shopping centres. They have two films - a ninja one and a Wild West themed one. Spent the day in the park on Friday (during the school holidays). The longest wait was 30 minutes. Stayed in the Proximity Apartments nearby (it was a ten minute walk through the Westfield shopping centre). Got tickets for the twilight session as well (4.30-8.30). The place was deserted. Rode Goldrush 5 times in a row. It’s a cute little park with a mix of quirky theming. The arrow looper is smoother than any other one I have ridden. Managed to get a front row ride. Love the way the mine coaster and the log flume interact with each other. The drop tower has a low capacity, but that didn’t really matter. It’s not that tall, but is quite forceful. They have just redone the log flume’s theming. It’s a bizarre mix of pixies, unicorns and pirates. Went to Crystal Mountain the following day.

    Heard a rumour once that the Endeavour could’ve been an SDC make, but can’t for the life of me remember where or from who I heard it from. Would’ve been a couple of years ago now at least.

    Always wondered where it ended up after Wonderland. Most likely scrapped.

    So this isn’t the same looping ship at Sunway Lagoon (that’s been there since 2005)?

    It’s pathetic operations, and any business that has the ethos of “we’ll be just fine losing a few customers” is on a slippery slope to oblivion. 

    Which business said that? I said that - they didn’t. I don’t even know if Abyss has scales. Outback Splash has scales and nobody said a peep. I have no idea why AW got scales - it could be for insurance purposes.

    You can test yourself before getting in line. There are lights, but no sirens as some people claimed. It’s the same as Outback Splash’s system. 

  6. Does no one understand average weight limit? 600kg divided by 8 = 75kg. It’s not a maximum weight limit.

    Adventure World is doing fine without worrying about losing a few customers. Their platinum passes have already sold out and the premium passes aren’t too far away.

    The park was surprisingly busy on its first day of operation despite the fact that the Perth Royal Show sold out that day and it was also the Grand Final.

    I’d like to know if season passholders we given a heads up about this when purchasing/renewing, or if they are entitled to a “sorry I’m too fat for your theme park” refund?

    Those weight limits have been around for a couple of years, but not enforced. They have apparently offered season pass refunds to some. The details would have probably been on their website, but we didn’t know about the scales until we saw them.

    Now you're being deliberately obtuse. You know I haven't been on it. 

    But when it's biggest fans are saying 'don't ride this during opening hours' its fair to say it's got problems.

    Sorry, with all this interest in the park I thought you would have visited it by now. You know how old I am @DaptoFunlandGuy and you know I wouldn’t ride a coaster that would send me to a chiropractor. I think AW needs to do a lot of things atm - retracking Abyss is probably not that high on the list.

    Hope to see you in the park someday.

    I think a lot of people don't care. I can quote you Superman's G forces, but only because the queue video repeats it interminably. I don't care what the stats say, I want to ride a ride, it should be fun, enjoyable, and not something that I get off wondering how many visits i'm going to need at the chiropractors.

    How was your experience on the ride? Was it similar to Buzzsaw? Jet Rescue? Thunderbolt?
