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.

If you look at the pics above the rack is sitting on jacks and the supports aren’t connected to the ground properly. This ain’t just a paint job but some major structural work.

Didn’t you know? DC rivals Hyper coaster had the worlds first non inverting loop. Was also the tallest the fastest and the greatest attraction in the world. Vortex is also the most immersive themed attraction ever made.

Must have just reused the original vortex signs that said opening this December.

We have a traveling model called the Scorpion owned by Geelong Amusements based in Victoria.

So I decided to make a little rough concept art for an expansion and remodel of WNW. With Mach 5 gone and the unsure outcome with Black hole. I thought if they decided to gut the entire H2O zone and start from scratch this would be a cool idea. This is a rough concept so excuse the quality. This plan has the follow: New food outlets around the area along with lockers, toilets etc... Water slide Wheel (White Water West) A Mammoth style water coaster (ProSlide) Rain-fortress and Splash pad area (White Water West) Tower 1: (Proslide) Tornado 60 enclosed Tornado Wall 60 Tantrum Alley Tower 2: (Proslide) Bowl Alley Family raft slide UFO Raft slide Tower 3: (Polin) 2 Family single raft slides Corba Waterslide I feel like this plan gives the park some good solid waterslides for thrill seekers and family. Along with some gimmicky stuff and world class stuff. I doubt we would ever see investment off this size at WNW. But we can dream. (Also the Poling slide complex comes from the original concept art from Outback Splash)

Huss Engineers are in QLD doing 2 week Quarantining according to Mr Kirby Vortex should be opening late November hopefully.

Which means come November they will have Buzzsaw, Sidewinder, Claw and Pandemonium all closed. They might need to postpone some closures then.

I thought you were talking about the hand in the picture from the TRRR accident that the media keep showing. Honestly wish the media actually looks at the pics they share. They shouldn’t be sharing a picture which shows part of the body.

Polin will build a knock off for everything 😂.

Well keep in mind when the park was originally owned and built it was never intended to be what it is today. The family that own it now brought the park planning to expanded the current park. Easier to expand a park with a brand then to build from the ground. Both original expansion plans done by Proslide might give you a better idea of the plans. you can see the easement line in both.

It’s the Bunbury to Dampier Gas line which runs through the park.

@Aw hype they can’t build any attractions in the easement I have highlighted in blue. but they can build on the other side off it. With this plan comes the earlier application with a new entrance gate walking into the new pool area.

@Gazza I was thinking it looked set up ready for 2 Aqua loop type slides on each side not raft. But who knows? Also more interestingly here is the pool thats been talked about. This Pool area gives away massive "Bali" type feels and this entire project looks like its going to change the park for the better. Along with the new entrance, carpark and staff buildings. Gonna be pretty decent park after this. Also see site plan for locations:

Its per the press release it’s going to be 30 metres. Very similar in height to Storm. You can also build very tall and big family coasters. Height doesn’t always mean thrill. EG you can have a very tall mine train terrain coaster that’s not thrilling.

TRRR yes, log ride yes. Wipeout and TOT no. Log ride supposedly closed as the cages added apparently did major damage to the boats and concrete channels. Wipeout and TOT Literally couldn’t run anymore. So they would have closed.
