Went to funfields today to try out the new rides. Went on Voodoo first.. now that is an awesome ride. Considering it doesn’t look like much at first glance I found it a heap better than the Claw and also better than doomsday destroyer at movieworld. It can feel like a different ride each time you go on it. Due to the different angles you can get by the spinning motion and also depending on the amount of people on it and weight distribution the pauses you get at the top can differ. Awesome ride and I can see it having massive queues over summer. Definitely the best dry ride in the park. Gravity Wave was next and weather today wasn’t great for water slides. However I went on it with my son and his friend. I was a little underwhelmed. It didn’t feel as extreme/fast as kamikaze and tornado at wet n wild or Boomerang at waterbom in Bali. However I need to try it again with 4 adults and full weight as that can make a huge difference. Anyway great to see our little local park continue to expand and my kids have loved it so far this season especially with the bargain scoopon passes we got.

I saw what I assume was staff testing the Gravity Wave on Saturday.. spoke to some of the staff who said it was awesome. Also noticed that the pool at the bottom of the ride is huge and has a spot for a 2nd ride. So I assume there is plans for another slide to go in there in the future.

I was at funfields yesterday. You get a good view of the new rides from near the kraken and also going uphill on the Toboggan. I didn’t take my phone in as now with my new Apple Watch LTE I don’t plan to take my phone into theme parks with water rides. Voodoo is basically complete and gravity is just having some final touches. Voodoo just looks like a mini version of Dreamworld’s claw.
