To clarify one point that I missed originally! * “Southern Hemispheres first multi launch coaster with stall and reverse twisted half pipe” * Along with a seperate spinning rotating gondala” * 1.2km of track with speeds of 105km/h

https://clients3.weblink.com.au/pdf/ALG/02137222.pdf Some key points to take away: * spinning car attached at the rear. Coaster to start construction next year * more to come over the following 3-5 years

So with the new slide tower announced for WWW today here is a dedicated thread for the slide. No opening dates were given however if ground work has started now I assume there is no reason we can’t see the slide tower opening by Boxing Day this year. (If they submit paper work on time) With the coaster launching in 2020.

So HWSW, MDMC and This will all feature yellow track? On a side note are we sure this is really yellow? Maybe it’s paint colour 284 😂

Don’t WNW-GC utilise an digital cash system link to your wrist band? AW does this and means you can buy food and drinks anywhere without needing to go to your lockers.

Likewise with the movie world kids area, there is no doubt that WNW is in need of some love and new slides. So if you had the money (still a realistic amount) what would you add? In my opinion if they build a modern slide tower complex from proslide with a wall, UFO, bowl and a body slide to replace the MACH 5 complex and a new massive water coaster along the lines of mammoth or wilderbest to go in where the buggy’s used to be. I think that would really transform the park. Whats your thoughts?

With VRTP clearly showing they are willing to spend money to improve their parks offerings, it’s not unrealistic for them to spend another $20-$30 million on a new updated precinct in the years 2021-2022. If VRTP really want to fix the kids offering or build a world class dark ride they can. Just weather they want to and or when.

People also said that about Australia getting a wooden coaster. They were wrong.

@Boyden Hingston-Muir maybe a DC kids themed area. * just joking anything but DC would be fine!

That’s exactly what LTRR or BT was. I went on them as a 4 year old and loved them. Obviously major capitol spending won’t happen again until 2021/2020 after everything at SW is finished. By that stage the mini driving school will be 10 years old and instead of updating the cars and what not could be removed. Along with some flat rides in a land with a fresh IP.

With the recent talk in the other threads about movie worlds family/ kids offerings I thought it warranted its own thread. In my opinion once Atlantis has finished and WNW gets some love. The next major capital spend should be back at MW with a nice dark ride to replace the void from LTRR and replacement and updating all the existing flat rides in the current LT area.

For people not in WA this slide complex is in northern which is around the heart of the wheat fields. So this won’t be insanely busy during the holiday periods.

Universal has announced their forth gate, Universal’s Epic Universe being the most immersive and greatest theme park ever built. However they have not announced any themes or rides coming to the park.

Just a little near maps update: Ragging Waters: Luna park Sydney

So the first of the 2020 ride announcements have kicked of with Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s new multi launch Intamin coaster. It is good to see the return of Intamin rides in the states with 2 at Universal and more rumoured. Also forgot last weeks Candymonium at Hershey Park the B&M hyper coaster.

@Mark Shaw as in 50% meaning one flat ride is coming this year?

Total project cost for Abyss was 12 million, 7 million for Kraken and 7.5 for Goliath. I was with @iwerks when a ride operator tried to tell me Goliath costed $17.5 million and I know for a fact that ain’t true.

@elemist the Rampage is a Moser Maverick which was similar to the Wipeout. Expect the later had 2 rows one on each side, Rampage has 2 rows facing forwards and overall the Wipout has a bigger capacity. The vortex is a Huss Top Spin which the arms cannot move independently only together.

Little Update on some near maps imagery. WNW GC Update 26 MAY 19 MW Update 26 MAY 2019 Aussie World Updated 09 MAY 2019 SW overview Update 07 MAY 2019 Bottom of Alantis Upper Alantis When more updates occur especially at SW over the next 2 years I will post them. Its seems to be ever 3 months at SW.

So I figured its been a while since anyone has posted any near map images. So here is most of the parks in Australia. If I missed any just let me know. Jamberoo Action Park - 29 Mar 19 Adventure Park Geelong -25 FEB 19 Aussie World - 24 MAR 19 Movie World - 16 JAN 19 Wet N Wild GC - 16 JAN 19 Sea World - 24 NOV 18 Star flyer close up LPM - 07 APR 19 The Maze Outback Splash - 23 FEB 19 Gumbya World - 02 APR 19 LPS - 04 MAR 19 Dreamworld - 06 NOV 18 Lazy River construction Sky Voyager Fun Fields - 07 MAR 19 Adventure World - 24 FEB 19 WNW Sydney - 07 APR 19

Madagascar was always gonna be the first to go. The ride was plagued with problems and takes up so much space. Plus their is more land behind the main show building for expansion. However I don’t see Far Far away leaving anytime soon. The castle has become an icon for the park.

Resort World SENTOSA just announced that it will be expanding the resort with a 4.5 billion dollar expansion. Most importantly USS will be expanding in size to include A minion park feature Discpicable Me Minion Mayhem, and a Super Nintendo World. https://www.rwsentosa.com/-/media/project/non-gaming/rwsentosa/press-release/pdf/en/2019/20190403-press-release--rws-embarks-on-mega-expansion-plans.pdf

@Mark Shaw said it awhile ago. Sure their are exepctions but that is their rough time span.

The ride was 30 years old when closed! Rides only come with a 30 year shelf life. Give or take. It’s good to see the park remove the ride then to try and keep it going and the ride becoming not safe.
