I never said postphone I said cancel.But if by February 80% of the population is vaccinated and hard lockdowns weren't needed then yeah.

ITs already gone through council and been approved in a DA.

In my opinion it doesn't seem to be an event worth holding right now from a business point of view. The sheer cost to hold Fright Nights is an insane amount of money and CAPEX to run that the event. (more than any other event out there) If something was to happen (touch wood) and QLD was to do a lockdown would be a massive loss to the business.

Most rides are due in for the Royal Adelaide show and then the Perth royal show. So I’m curious how they will get over or if they are even allowed to enter Adelaide?

I honestly don’t think any park would buy it. It’s such a bad investment for a smaller park, it’s a ride not supported buy Maurer anymore and is a maintenance nightmare. The smaller parks don’t have the ability to bleed money on maintenance and reliability. If the ride was reliable and supported I would say it’s a steal for any park but sadly it’s not.

form my recent video most of the fluke Chanel’s had holes and major cracks. So major work would be needed to fix it up track wise.

DW did sell a massive amount of Tot to six flags. So they did make money of it.

But the real question, if it’s been retracked with a new train. Is it a new credit? 😂

There is freshly painted surf rider track laying in the AOS carpark. Will try and closer pics this arvo.

Gingy’s Gliders has returned looking fresh and like it’s had its 10 year full strip down and fully repainted. Carousel is still mostly missing and off-site. Dronkey flyers have returned Tower of terror tunnel coming down very quickly Lots of demo happening in the park yesterday and over the last week. The log ride sign was thrown in the bin while I was there. Few logs remain and theming left to the side but the site is pretty much all flat and lots of earth being brought in. IMG_6398.MOV

Pictures taken yesterday afternoon. Looks like Monday will be the day for the last track to go in. All supports are now in place and the carpark is looking empty.

@DaptoFunlandGuy would you possibly be able to send updates for Adventure World, Aussie World and Jamberoo please.

Video is just concept and was told does not reflect the final design. The tender documents show completely different layout without the bridge and pathway.

Press release from DW

Has Green Lantern every ran with 6 trains? I know they have 7, but did it every run the 6?

I would also argued they picked the ride manufacture choice the same way. Wouldn't mind the cheapest Mack or Intamin ride.

From what I have been told while Rampage can rotate arms independently with the motor system as its not gravity run, is not capable of flipping the gondola while not straight. However Rampage does still provide a very intense ride experience, however it's not comfortable to ride (Due to shoulders being crushed) However when they installed an entire new gondola with restraint system in 2018 and vertically rebuilt the ride, its much better experience then it was.

I would say as most seasonal parks are they will do annual maintenance and tear the rides apart. Closer to opening they will reassemble and finish maintenance and re commission all the rides.

With the hard lockdown in Perth Adventure World and Outback splash closed on Sunday afternoon. Even as the lockdown ends 6pm tonight. Both parks will remain closed until 14th February when more restriction's ease such as face masks.

Just thought I would do a quick TR from the first AW nights of the season. As it was a sold out event it was pretty busy but as it was a very warm day and evening the crowds were spread across both dry and water attractions. Was a great night as always with the typical entertainment, food trucks and live music.

AW Nights for 2021: the 9th of January is sold out.

I have to disagree. It has been a nightmare for some See NSW, VIC and QLD. But it's the best thing to have happened for some other smaller parks. In Perth both parks have just been insane. Adventure World has never had to stop selling season passes every in their history, and they hit this a month into their season this year. They have had their best season ever. Same goes with Outback Splash reaching capacity the other day (not covid capacity but physical licensing capacity) So I agree where this coming from.

Wet N Wild is still a waterpark with waterslides? (Just some not operating)

Or the SkyWay, Pirate-ship, Sea Viper, Train at Sea World, Mach 5 at WNW, and I'm not gonna even bother listing dreamworld.....

But do events such as White Christmas need to change years from years? The target market is families with young kids. (For WC) Once these kids grow up they move onto evens such as fright nights. Then new kids come along and take over and the cycle repeats.
