DC Rivals Hypercoaster costed $30 million AUD ($20 million USD).
I believe it was stated Rivals costed over $30 million. Don’t think the exact figure was every said. But I thought it was rumoured around $35 million.

@Jobe Adventure World still has their slide which is similar. They have their original opening day River Rapids slide.

I have had some free time over the past few days and decided to have some fun. There is a lot of space around the back of WWW, but once it's gone its gone.
- Using the original Stage 3 expansion plans for WWW, there is still room for another 2 slide tower plots once HWSW is removed down the track. I also see a Suspended Roller Soaker coaster being a good fit (Zamperla roller coaster that allows you to soak people below with water guns)
- The main Slide tower at the back right could feature a ProSlide tower with a Tornado wall, Bowl alley and a UFO maybe? Along with an Adventure River, Kiddie splash pads and room for 2 more big slide towers.
- This also allows a prefect option to re do the back half of ocean parade. Remove Shockwave for a nice RMC Raptor and remove the whole Panda area.
- With Panda gone its perfect chance to build a dark ride themed around How to Train your dragon which will also have a retheme of Pandamonium to suit.
Let me know what your thoughts are?

I would want something similar to Hagrid's magical creatures motorbike adventure because that ride is so fun but i don't know what it could be based off
HMCMA is the most expansive roller coaster ever built to date: a cost Of $300 million USD
VRTP largest ever spend was $50 million AUD on the entire Atlantis project with 3 rides.

I’ve never seen sections of track arrive on site 18 months in advance for any previous installations at our parks.
the delay in park opening won’t have a major bearing on the construction timeline, as construction can and will go ahead even with the park closed.
The thing is both Ardent Leisure and Village Roadshow have halted all capital expenditure. With that halted we might see stuff arrive. But construction most likely won’t start for a while.

Apparently...
This post originally said Leviathan was on track to open this December. So he must have changed it.

@TomiJ those photos were already posted here and taken before the closing of the parks. 😂

I think if there were no plans for construction to start soon or close to when the park opens they wouldn’t be unloading the things they needs for footings separately from the columns, much closer to the site let alone in carpark spaces so close to the main entrance. I assume if it wasn’t starting soon they would have kept everything all together backstage.
The containers aren’t owned by MAck or Dreamworld, once the coaster arrives they have to be unloaded unless the park wants to spend money on hiring the containers. The best place and safest place to store the massive items (track and supports) would be the carpark as it’s flat and clean. The smaller and lighter objects you would want to be more secured (being stored inside the parks footprint) cod you don’t want people damaging or stealing your bolts, while it’s sit there for potentially months.

Nothing says asshole more then somebody breaking lockdown rules during a pandemic to take some photos.
If the LEGO store was open, what’s to say he didn’t take the pictures when leaving?

It looks like dreamworlds goal is to open back on the 31st of May.

More overreaction to a fucking non-issue, to something so mild so nothing.... Is it really worth plunging the world into recession with the closure of so many businesses who of which most likely won't open back up with hundreds of thousands of people out of work all over a mild flu? This cancellation culture, this cancellation war on everything by hysterical overdramatic idiots is 100% pure bullshit and is so totally unwarranted, making the world a bleaker more boring place to live in. They absolutely deserve whatever bad karma comes to them.
782 people died in Italy in the last 24 hours man. That’s more than the flue.

Another one bites the dust: Adventure World
Given the ever-changing nature of this current health crisis and the associated Government advice, we have made the decision for now to temporarily suspend operation of the Park.
It is our intention that with time and more detail from the State & Federal Governments, Adventure World will be able to re-open before the end of this Season.
Looks like they're planning to re-open before the 27th of April. Time will tell, though.
I hope they re open before the season closes only got to go there 53 times. How will my platinum pass pay itself of in 3 visits?

Depends on how you look at it doesn’t it? They are our biggest parks for sure, but if you add up all the smaller parks in the other states (including Aussie World) then they are very much in the minority. Whilst the GC is the hub for amusement parks in Australia- our Orlando if you will- it’s important to note that the amusement park industry is not just GC centric. Our smaller parks are an important part of the amusement park landscape in Australia, let’s not forget the important part they play as well as the bigger players.
In terms of scale Ardent Leisure and Village Roadshow theme parks are off course the large portion. But in terms of numbers the other parks are the majority.
- Aussie World
- Gumbya World
- Raging Waters Sydney
- Jamberoo Action Park
- FunFields
- Luna Park Melbroune
- Luna Park Sydney
- Adventure World
- Outback Splash

@Tim Dasco we have been talking about it here -
That’s a mega thread about Corona Virus. I’m making a thread to talk about effects on our parks closing.
-
So it’s been officially announced the Royal Easter show is canceled. Do we think that some Australian theme parks might be next to close down?
Luckily for most off our parks bar VRTP and Ardent most are getting ready to close for their winter period anyway and most likely won’t be effected as much.

Should we start taking bets on how long Arkham will be SBNO before being demolished? My guess is 412 days.
Well Vikings revenge has been waiting a long time.... But remember a world class attraction will replace Vikings Revenge in 2019! Oh wait.....
At least Vortex will open in December 2019.... well Trident will open in April 2020...... oh wait.... maybe Leviathan might meet its deadline?

You are most likely seeing either the under coat or the layer of structural X-ray. Keep In mind all rides must now have a full strip back and removal off paint every 10 years now, so we might be seeing that happen now.

When you have 2 trains you can still operate the ride while you do re builds on the trains. Do 1 train at a time.

It's going to reopen, Movie World know how to maintain their rides. That thing has at least ten more years in it
So if it doesn’t re open, are you saying it means Movie World doesn’t know how to maintain its rides?
Cos if you look at WWF barley any effects were working when I went a month ago.

Maybe building a highly dynamic flat ride that needs a kick ass footing didn't go perfectly smooth on what is effectively boggy sand... shit happens.
Doesn't have to be anything as sinister as contractors walking out to cause a delay.
Same as Sky Voyager building a new ride that they don’t have experience with and is a new ride system to Australia. Shit happens.
Goes for both parks if something’s delayed, communicate it with your guests. Simple.

It was because the construction company pulled out, hence the major delays. It wasn’t necessarily Sea worlds fault
But they haven’t announced this or told anyone. So this is just as bad as Sky Voyagers delays. Going silent and not telling anyone.

If parks did this you'd be able to get into Sea World for around $20 at the moment.
Nah $20 is way too high.

Considering it was reported on here that MDMC ran 2 trains for most if not all of the summer holidays I doubt this. Superman went the whole of Summer with only 1 train, likewise with Jet Rescue.
