  1. Maurer is not supporting the sky loop model anymore. So their decision would be similar to the Tower of Terror as Intamin no longer supported it. While it comes with a range of spare parts, more than likely over the next 2-3 years parts will have to be specially made for it.
  2. Just wait for it. they will save the skull and name the new ride TOWER OF TERROR 3 😂😂
  3. Hmm I guess the little kids train will be down for maintenance https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSJgyLbrH/ IMG_1727.MP4
  4. The Americans have cleared quarantine and had their first day onsite today. Only a mater of weeks until we see the first test run.
  5. Sunshine Coast wave pool, water park project takes shape with fresh images of first stage Fresh artist’s impressions have given a glimpse at the first stage of a $65m new water park and tourism attraction planned alongside Steve Irwin Way. Scott Sawyer Follow @scottsawyer22 less than 2 min read May 28, 2021 - 9:30AM 1 comments Fresh artist's impressions of the first stage of a $65m water park and tourism attraction set to feature a region-first wave pool have been released. Plans were submitted to Sunshine Coast Council earlier this week for stage 2 of Sanad Capital's proposed Actventure water park and Invigorate resort at Steve Irwin Way, Glenview. A wave pool capable of hosting an Olympic surfing event in 2032 is the centrepiece of the second stage, which also included a water park and unit-style resorts. DON'T MISS OUT: Activate your bonus for big rewards Renders of the first stage of a $65m water park, resort and tourist attraction at Glenview have been released. Following the lodgement of those plans, Sanad Capital, run by chief executive Bradley Sutherland, released new renders of the vision for the first stage. Stage 1 works were set to begin shortly, with Mr Sutherland indicating he hoped to have stage 1, featuring a 160-villa family resort, water park, retail and more open by Christmas, 2023, and stage 2, complete with the Endless Surf wave pool by WhiteWater opened in early-2024. Mr Sutherland explained his deep commitment to the project earlier this week. Renders of the first stage of a $65m water park, resort and tourist attraction at Glenview have been released. He said he'd spent about $15m to-date in his bid to bring the project to fruition and turned down several offers to sell. Mr Sutherland said he was in discussions with several local builders at present and said to "watch this space" for works to kick off soon.
  6. Yes individual rides like sky voyager, pandamonium, skadoosh. technically yes but they have there own sound system with a repeating playlist. it is no connected to the nightlife system
  7. It would nearly be impossible for the park to have certain music for each individual ride without a major $$$ overhaul. The parks sound system is split into 4 areas. Ocean Parade, Wiggles World, Main Street, Gold Rush Country. Download CrowdDJ and queue your own music if you wish.
  8. don't know about mach 5 but... constrictor = 18m mammoth falls = 17.5m
  9. THEME park giant Village Roadshow will build Australia’s tallest water slide on the Gold Coast in a multimillion-dollar revamp of its facilities. The 130-metre long slide, already under construction at Wet’n’Wild, is one of three attractions being unveiled on Friday to launch celebrations for sister park Warner Bros Movie World’s 30th birthday. In a major boost to the city’s struggling tourism industry, the new mega slide structure is being targeted for a pre-Christmas opening in time for the school holidays. REVEALED: FATES OF BELOVED GOLD COAST THEME PARK RIDES Australia’s tallest water slide is coming. FLASHBACK: THE 10 THEME PARK RIDES WE MISS THE MOST New Village attractions include: * A new water slides complex with several standouts led by the Kaboom raft ride starting from 23 metres up, making it Australia’s tallest. It boasts a “master blaster” start – with water jet propulsion – sending riders down a 10m drop and into a tailspin featuring multiple corkscrews; * A Super Ripper which is two new body slides dubbed “not for the faint-hearted from 12 metres up, and what’s described as a “heart pounding” Double Barrel option; * H2Oasis, an 872 sqm family-friendly water park as part of the slide complex; FROM OUR PARTNERS Watch every episode of The Walking Dead on BINGE Get BINGE Basic from only $10/mth * A meerkats family to go on permanent display at Country Paradise in June for the winter school holidays; * A celebration of Movie World’s 30th, dubbed Hooray for Hollywood, with displays of props from classic films plus the theme park’s largest-ever parade each afternoon of the June-July school holidays. FULL STORY: WET’N’WILD’S FASCINATING HISTORY It will be 130m long and 23m high. While reluctant to disclose the exact value of the investment, Village Roadshow Theme Parks chief operating officer Bikash Randhawa said new attractions were critical to the city’s success short and long-term. “The sector was heavily impacted by COVID-19 so what we are trying to do is drive visitation back to the Gold Coast,” he said. “This is a huge investment and we are confident this is the right step for driving tourism and bringing people back here to support the economy.

Picture: Jerad Williams FULL DIGITAL ACCESS: JUST $1 FOR FIRST 12 WEEKS “New rides and attractions incentivise the local market but we are also investing in products which will bring more tourists and there is a flow on impact because it fills up hotels and gets people into restaurants and other small businesses.” Village’s new attractions are part of a dramatic recent uptick in theme park activity to lure visitors back to the city. It will have a family-friendly water park area. In December 2020 it launched the first stage of the $50 million New Atlantis precinct at Sea World with the Vortex, a Wipeout-like ride. The Leviathan wooden roller coaster and Trident ride which spins people around 42 metres off the ground are still under construction and expected to open in late 2021. Village Roadshow has also lodged trademark documents for a hotel it plans to build at Movie World on land occupied by its northern carpark. Ardent Leisure is ramping up its own new attractions, unveiling plans for a $75 million hotel at Dreamworld. Dreamworld Resort will include a four-star 250 room resort-style hotel, 40 bungalows and a five-star tourist park. Construction continues on its new Steel Taipan inverted loop rollercoaster.
  10. rumour has it that there will be 2 trains, however only 1 of the trains will feature the spinning car.
  11. I recon we have got 2 options due to the fact it say waterslides (2 or more). 1) master blaster + 2 smaller body slides or 1/2 person tube slides 2) a tower with the “newer classic” waterslides that is standard around the world at the moment, 2-4 slides on the tower. ie, boomerango + tailspin?
  12. Individual lap bars Look better then the seatbelt things
  13. Perhaps a bit of sandblasting for both blackhole and Surfrider on the metal work as it is wrapped in plastic?
  14. Just wait for it... the wiring was a crows nest
  15. The cairns waterpark where construction will start in a few months now 10years later
  16. Looks very similar to Vekoma's new coaster they are building at Epcot; Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
  17. The way they are going it will be closed for its annual maintenance before it even opens 😂
  18. Random fact: just seen Craig Davidson on tv. He is now the CEO of “Visit Sunshine Coast”.
