Yeah, nope. It’s a theme park because it’s on the east coast of Australia, just like the Ekka and the Sydney Showgrounds. 😜
Nah didn't you hear Abyss, Kraken and Goliath are trailer mounted and are off to a new fair this week. Considering AW is a fun fair. 😜

I know at Adventure World all ride oops and team never do rubbish duties after the park closes. Once all rides are shut down and guests are leaving, they pick up rubbish across the park, car park and boundary roads.

As someone who works in the fast food industry, this is very important for most customers. The amount of complaints from customers if you don't greet them instantly and friendly, is mind boggling.

What annoys me the most is that is not in any way a roller coaster.

Not that many care but Abyss has always had a restriction on being over 8 years old to rides Abyss.

Um, The Druid height sign guy is held together with roof rack elastic ropes! So Disney!

I did notice that last time I went, next time I go I shall see if it's been fixed properly. It seemed like it had just snapped off and was a temporary fix. Hopfully it's better now.

Do keep in mind VR are providing studios for the games, yes the government did pitch in some coin for them. But I would have thought they could have made a deal with the leasing of those studios and advertisement.
-
I would have thought VRTP would have made a deal with the sound stages to get their names used. But seems like either to much money or not worth it.
-
I would say it's better timing now. The coverage is a lot less than it would be as the media are already full with the Games stuff to notice it.

What a lovely sounding Disneyland, if but forever only in a dream (or half a day once a year!)
Written for a West Coast Audience no doubt but the story lost all credibility sighting Perth as the spot for a future DisneyDownunder.. bahahaha
No offence Perth BUT at least you have cheap flights to Universal Singapore and (allegedly) the Internet to book your flights to get there🤣
I think the more unbelievable part is picking Joondaulup for the location. There is no room in Joondalup for a Disney land to even be considered.

Technically the tallest gyro swing ride in Australia is The Beast (KMG XXL). Goliath would be the tallest 'non-portable' gyro swing ride in Australia. Or the tallest gyro-swing ride in Australia that is manufactured by Intamin.
But The Beast isint a Gyro Swing, it's a KMG XXL, Gyro Swing being a model type. Only Intamin call there Pendulem rides Gyro Swings.

I found an article recently that said Adventure World gets over 500,000 a season.

Gravitron - 99
Fun Fact, that Graviton has been traveling around Western Australia since it left Dreamworld with Mitro, West Coast Amusements until it was sold last year.

In other breaking news, when I put my foot on the break my car stops.
Honestly do the media camp out at the parks? I know some people who were at the park today and didn't even know about it.

So adventure World have added a special $5 season pass upgrade to their website. You must buy online for this to work. Seems like a great idea to encourage season pass sales with only a month left.

So I was looking on Adventure World's Website and they have posted some information regarding their Easter Event that takes place during the day. I think its good to see the park adding all these events to it line up to try and post attendance throughout non peek season.

I managed to spin the Barrels a little to much that he said he wanted to do Yarlis Safari to recover. (Coming from a person who can do Rampage 3 times in a row)

So went to AW today with @ABYSS and we decided to do an idea i got with a conversation with @iwerks. I have never done everything at the park in one day. But today I decided to see if you can do everything in one day including the pool, all kahnua falls slides and animals. We managed to finish it by 4:15pm. It was fun and it proves how much there is to do at the park. Anyway a few things from today. The park fairly busy for this time of the year. With 33 degree weather and the PMH Big Kids day out event happening in the park today it defiantly had some crowds.
Goliath had someone yack on it 2 times within half an hour.
Abyss was running 4 trains till about 2pm when they removed one. Was cool to watch and Inferno is back!
The park is looking good and was great to see everything open again.
The new High Voltage Power Main building.
The High Speed internet to the Go Karts.
(Nah just more power stuff added last season)
* Oh and great customer services today by Jacob in Dragons Kingdom. When some people in line were talking and wondering what Kraken's wait was. He called the Kraken team and asked and got an answer to them. (But kudos to all the team. There all great and happy all the time)
However its one thing I think the park could really benefit from is having at least the major rides have digital waiting signs which display the waiting time. Then next to the park map's put a summary of the main ride wait times. This would really avoid having people complain about long queues if they know what there getting into before.

While at the park today I noticed just how much space there is next to Kraken. Could we see another Pro-Slide as MI4 or a lazy river? Or who knows? I would love to see a Bowl-wall hybrid. I guess time will tell.

Not every ride need to be a thrilling coaster with inversions.
