That is huge and looks amazing! What flavour is it? @Tim Dasco
BBQ chicken and bacon. It’s the best flavour. Amazing tasting 😎 -

Adventure World has an amazing quality menu with some great food options. Their pizza and donuts are the best that I have had at a theme park. This bad boy with season pass discount is $28 and is super tasty. Took 3.5 minutes to arrive once ordered. (Tiki bar outlet) All fresh 😎

Here's our POV. Tim was convinced to go on it by the owner.
That guy on the ride seems like a super cool guy 😎

What if someone wants to try the spinning seats? Do they have to swap trains out especially for them?
I wonder if we see them add a spinning seat to the second train to solve this issue, if the spinning seat proves to be popular and a money maker.

aren’t the new generation Vekoma Suspended Family Coasters only able to run one train? the lines for this thing will be horrendous if that’s the case, hopefully they last minute changed their mind and decent to upsize the coaster, that’s very unlikely though
Doesn’t matter how many trains it can run, most of the times seems Superman and Rivals run 1 train each.
-
I mean they did just build rivals and green lantern as thrill coasters that didn’t replace existing rides. So they could still remove AA to replace with family rides.

It was a good fun ride, 100% more forceful than doomsday for sure. It’s a ARM model not a Huss model. Still lots of fun. Also due for a full rebuild once the carnival ends in February. New scenery, new lights, paint, motors etc.

Jamberoo posted this imagine, coming along although seems it will miss the summer peek period.
Looks super cool, cant wait to see it finished.

Adventure world has its annual AW nights events which is great in those summer events being open till 11pm, with fairy lights, flamingos, bands, food trucks etc. great event to chill and enjoy the warm hot Perth summer.
-
It’s not the ranger ride, it’s the travelling ride called “Top Gun” which is the same ride type. Which has been brought by sideshow amusements in perth. Recently done up and will debuts there

With Steel Taipan now open what do people think will be next for the park?
Personally I’m hoping their next major Capex addition is a large scale family attraction be a water based one or a family coaster. But something that caters to all.
or do we see the ABC kids world remodel coming next? That area is in need of some love as well?
Interesting times and let the speculation begin.

If we presume it's roughly 50-60 seconds going off the length of the ride, that's 200p/h best case scenario.
My question would be is that a high or a low number in the world of waterslides?
Well a slide like kraken does 600 people an hour. Same as gravity wave, perfect storm etc.

Controversial opinion, Buzzsaw was a decent ride. You will be missed.

All coasters/rides or buildings for that matter are designed to be able to withstand a 1 in 100 year weather event. Which is cyclone etc. this is part of the Australian Standards building codes.

Why do people keep assuming another park ordered this and DW just picked up a bargain, already manufactured coaster that they can make fit in the plot of land they have?
It was confirmed that they managed to pick up a parks lead time with Mack as they normally have long lead times on projects. The coaster was not already manufactured or designed. They picked the design. The footings being like that would 100% be to save money.

I don't mean to alarm anybody but Steel Taipan has themed bins. THEMED BINS.
But are they smart bins? 🤔

According to the website, the Skycoaster has reopened and the Flowrider will reopen this Summer
They must have finally found the keys to operate them. I knew the keys were somewhere.

So adding my 10 cents worth;Abyss does not nor did have scales. The 75kg average was always listed on the website since opening day. (pick taken 10 minutes ago)
This sign has been there for 5 years stating max weights. There not new. (Pic from 2 seasons ago)
There are also scales outside the queue to try before entering the queue. Out the way. The rocky rapids is the only one your weighed as an individual cos it’s a single raft slide which always had a 90kg limit. The other one is bigger and has both 2 people on it at the same time to make sure your under 180kg. Kraken is a large scale one for 2-4 people so there not weighed as singles.
They have since made the lights super small by cover them up. You can’t even see the light form a metre away now.

People also forget it pulls 4.5g positive and 1.5g negative. Being a very intense ride is bound to make it seem "Rough" as It is one of the highest g force rating in Australia for a ride. It also operates typically in Perth's hot summer and that makes for a rougher ride comparing it to a colder winters day. In my opinion last season the ride was overall smoother than its original opening day season. However, I didn't ride it in December or January during the hot days (only AW nights were it cooled down)

There's plenty of older custom Arrow Loopers out there still operating in the world. Whilst it is the only one that has ever been relocated it would be a shame to lose a piece of history, the fact they've done a couple of big refurbs in recent years shows the park thinks it has a good amount of life left in it.
To be fair they did the same with Wipout... and that didnt last long.

Has it ever even been publicly stated the total price for Rivals? I remember hearing the costs blew out to just around $35 million. Making it more expensive anyway?
on the other side of things, rivals was custom and had elements such as the non inverting loop which were new for Mack and the engineer works for Rivals might have been higher than Blue fire considering it’s a clone (yes it has changes and need engineering work but the R&D costs would be lower) -

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.

No you didn't.
That implied it should be held later.
Holding a themed spooky event in a traditionally non-spooky season? sounds very-un-themepark-like.
As I said not to host it right now, rather wait another year till next "spooky Season".
