I agree- they will make it work despite these issues. To talk about them pulling up stumps is a massive overreaction , to say the least.

Wow..just wow!! This ride looks like an accident waiting to happen!!! As you said Spotty, VERY similar to the Nautic Jet rides in Europe....never knew we had something so similar in our own back yard!!! Would love to ride this thing!!!

Do we have any concrete info on when and if the fire effects will be brought into use?? Other than anectdotal evidence, are we certain that they are going to actually be brought into existence?? It seems strange to me that a major part of the rides theming has not been completed or even tested at this stage. Thoughts??

Great video of what looks like a great ride!! Oh and the coaster looks good too!!

LPS have confirmed that Tango will be down for the majority of the school holidays, which is a real shame. First Flying Saucer and now Tango not available. Tango's issue, whilst unscheduled, is at least fixable. Flying Saucer's eventual fate is yet to be disclosed.

Spoke to Aussie World today and they confirmed that the first of the new rides is indeed what POP saw being constructed. They will be making an announcement soon!! This will not be long in making its debut, and hopefully the coaster will not be too far behind. It's not unreasonable to assume that both rides could be in place before the Easter holidays.

Thanks for the info Blake. Hopefully it will be back up and running by the 18th, as I am visiting the park on the 18th!! Looking forward to riding Hair Raiser!! Will take some pics and post a trip report. Cheers!

Agreed Gazza. Europa Park is on my must do list and looks absolutely amazing. Perhaps Alton Towers should be close to Top 10?? Canada's Wonderland also??

Something not planned has obviously happened to Tango;it now states on the website that it is currently closed for maintenance. Hopefully the downtime will not be too long!! The Huss Flying Saucer is a ride that is no longer manufactured and it is very hard to get replacement parts. There are only approx 15 of these rides left in the world and LPS's example is the only one in Australia. Fingers crossed the park can see an economic decision that sees the ride stay operating in the park. If that is not to be, my vote is to move the Tumblebug to the Flying Saucer's current site, which will free up the entire Big Dipper slab for another compact coaster to complement Wild Mouse. This could be a real option and would likely be the best chance for the park to gain a second coaster!!

The Flying Saucer has now been officially deleted from the Park Map. I questioned LPS regarding this and they stated that no official decision has been made yet regarding its eventual fate, however any decision will likely take some time to determine if the ride is salvageable.

Excellent!!! Did you manage to get some pics of the site??

Hehe!! True!! With that name I would want to ride it too!! Sorry Gazza as far as points go its not a very good example!!!

Nice!! Looks like despite it's problems there is still some love for Dreamworld!!

Unfortunately I agree with your sentiments. Whilst this is culturally important, realistically this will not sway the average person to want to visit Dreamworld. In my mind, this is really a non event and one which I will think will not not be a lasting "attraction". I use that term loosely.

The Freak Out is a very similar ride to the Claw at Dreamworld. This ride is brand new and will make its debut at LPS before hitting the ride circuit. It looks like a great ride and will be a great addition at LPS over the summer. Hopefully there will be more additions and announcements to follow- another 2 major rides plus Freak Out and Hair Raiser will make LPS an attractive place to visit!! Furthermore , if the demise of Flying Saucer turns out to be true, then one option would be to move TumbleBug to the Flying Saucers current position , which would free up space for the installation of another compact coaster. There are plenty of examples that would fit in that footprint and would be well within LPS's price range.

Awesome!! Just don't hurt your tongue!!!

Your right GoGoboy..this looks like a great little waterpark!! The Lazy River looks awesome!! I am thinking of doing Singapore at some point soon as well and this looks like the perfect companion to Universal!!! I haven't been to Wet and Wild Sydney yet but from the pics I have see, it looks very sterile. The Lazy River at Jamberoo is far better themed than its WNW counterpart and they have plans for a 2nd Lazy River in their stage 2 expansion!!!

The best thing about Aussie World is that it is never truly madly busy like the majors!! You will have an awesome day and there will be more than enough time for re-rides on everything!!!

Thanks AlexB... Beat me to it. Hopefully we don't have a new RWC!!

Thunder, it is very good to have you back!! Hope you will make your presence known more often!!

Actually the Plunge at Aussie World is an excellent ride, well themed and a brilliant addition for a park of this size!!!!

Based on what??

Well the funny thing is I politely asked for their source of info on Aussie World rides and they asked me to PM , which I did. All I got out of them was that they couldn't say much due to Aussie World. I repeated the question politely again and the next thing I knew, they had blocked me!! I was unbelievably surprised - there was no rancor or malice in my questioning. It tends to call into question greatly the info they are presenting as legitimate.

It will definitely not be Pirates Revenge as this is appearing at LPM for the summer!! Personally I am hoping that Crazy Coaster makes an appearance- it has never been to LPS and if it proves popular, then this will give added impetus to LPS finally gaining a 2nd permanent coaster once again!! I think that it will be a major ride to couple in with the launch of Hair Raiser- although I would not be too surprised if The Disk'O makes another appearance!! Fingers crossed for at least 2 rides to really make this a memorable summer for visitors to LPS!!

Agree with your comments AlexB- you are spot on!! We are lucky to still have parks in Australia like Aussie World, Adventure World and Jamberoo!!! Its keeps the majors honest and keeps the industry alive and gives it a home grown feel- brilliant!! As you say- it is great to see them doing so well!! Aussie World have confirmed to myself on Facebook that the rides will be in place sometime next year, with an announcement early in the half They wouldn't be drawn into what type of Pinfari coaster model has been purchased- however Thrill Zone International on Facebook has reported that it is a kiddie coaster but this is an unsubstantiated rumour at this time. Thrill Zone would not confirm their source or whether the information is accurate. They also alluded and hinted that the Town Hall in Aussie World is getting a revamp for next year as well into some form of new attraction!! This is great news as I plan to re-visit Aussie World late next year!!!
