Pipeline at Cockburn ARC is painful to ride so no wonder there's an injury

$32 million? I'm starting to think Mack is definitely Overpriced and DC Rivals was better value for money

When is it getting relocated to Dreamworld?

Ah my mistake I thought the launch coaster going in at Energylandia was a Bermuda Blitz.
If the idea is to provide different experiences, why not put some coasters in the mix that aren't sit downs?
Or name one of the wooden coasters not bush beast?
More Bush Beasts bank more off nostalgia. Good point about less sit downs though

Why are there two bush beasts?
And why two LSM launched loopers?
Two bush beasts. Why not It would cater to a larger audience and provide different experiences. Only similarities are wood and name.
What two LSM coasters? The Vekoma bermuda blitz has a chain lift.
(Semi-realistic wish list)

Assuming a new Wonderland Sydney is still happening what rollercoasters should come? (Semi-realistic wish list)
I'm thinking:
Beastie II- Gravity Group family wooden coaster (like wooden warrior)
Demon II- Vekoma family Boomerang
Son of Bush Beast- Modern GG or GCI
Revenge of Bush Beast- RMC ground up hybrid (like Zadra)
Premier Multi launch looping coaster (like Full Throttle + longer length)
Vekoma bermuda blitz

What about World's Of Wonder here in Sydney? It was a proposed park by David Bakas. David has since become General Manager of the Wonderland Sydney project in 2019. So I think World's of Wonder has been scraped. There has been no new information since 2019 on Wonderland Sydney. I would still consider it going to happen, rather than proposed. They still say it will open by 2021. It's pretty much impossible to build it by 2021, even if they started right this second.
There was also going to be Darling Walk in 1988. It was going to be "a tomorrow's world of entertainment and technology". It was going to be just a small indoor theme park. It was canceled, and instead. Sega World opened around 1997? But the area down south of the IMAX Cinema did become Darling Walk. It's now some offices and shops called Darling Quarter. Merlin International was unable to build it by the 1988 bicentennial, so it was canceled. It was also know as Discovery Village. A sports faciality was built between 1988 and Sega World. There is only one photo left of Darling Walk.
Here are some concept photo's from both parks:
We haven't got news on Wonderland since 2016 so where did you get that David Bala's news?

Somewhat small report
At the start of the year as part of our overseas visit my family had a layover in Dubai, which meant that we got to go to Atlantis Aquaventure waterpark in Dubai. This was my first overseas park and I was impressed.
The park had 2 main slide towers but I only managed to do one of them which was the one with the master blasters. I was impressed with the 'rollercoaster' sized drops, the stomach drop feeling and how fun they were as very reridable. The slides felt faster than looked.
The lazy Rivers were fun with the rapids (that got more boring the more I went on them) and the waves which were very fun and reridable.
I was impressed with the atmosphere, theming, pricey ticket and slides. I wore aqua shoes during the day which was a huge convenience and would personally recommend.
This place was slated to get another slide tower (which kinda pissed me off) in another year which looks like it will complement nicely with a few additions.
One last thing to note was the lazy river. There was an extra slide which started at the lazy river and via a conveyor belt it would bring you to the top of the tower which costed extra. This would've been Cool and we would have never have go on foot as we could go on a continuous circle of lazy river and slide.
(First and only trip report. Was small because I didn't do a lot and only took 2 photos thanks to family. Constructive criticism is welcomed.)
What are your thoughts on water coasters? I know there are only 2.5 in Australia with Supertubes Hydrocoaster and the breakers at RWS/WnWSydney but if you have done others I would like your thoughts.

Thanks @Aw hype cool info. If you know how to use Landgate aerial imagery (Launch map viewer plus> Zoom in> Top right corner/Camera icon (buy aerial imagery)> select year) you can view old aerial images.

They should buy the aquarium clearly enough room for a Giga

Intamin is just throwing mud at a wall and hoping it eventually sticks

Nice news and it does seem weird with the slide placement. I always wanted to go on a high speed racer but the half pipe doesn't seem good. I was hoping for a wave pool instead of a normal pool but it seems nicely themed. I hope we get a water coaster eventually.
@AlexB As explained in this video by Proslide the flying saucer element is designed as a banked turn with the saucer being a gimmick.

I heard rides like the Skyloop and Sky Rocket II look very intimidating to the GP especially with lap bars.
Unless DW is aiming for quality over quantity, become more of a family park they need another big thrill coaster
-
Bush beast was one of those Taft Grizzly clones and it's not very well received by modern standards but since it's Australia it's obviously held to a higher regard.
One question was Beastie one of those Woodstock express clones?
-
Might be a bit too much but I would love an article on Wet 'n Wild Sydney

Dreamworld you listening

To fit the theme of Dreamworld, I reckon that DW should repaint Mick doohan and Sidewinder to Orange too

DC Rivals Hypercoaster costed $30 million AUD ($20 million USD).
While this is the most expensive Australian rollercoaster, the modified Blue Fire clone/Steel Taipan is also costing a similar amount at around $30 million AUD and Copperhead Strike is costing $30 million USD.
Rivals, Steel Taipan & Copperhead Strike are obviously different coasters and I am aware of the differences such as:
-DCR having limited theming (1.4km of Track)
-Copperhead Strike having extensive theming and 2 launches. (992m of track)
-Blue Fire being a first of it's kind, theming and having a pre-show & Steel Taipan having a swing launch. (1km of track)
So why did it cost so little when compared to other Mack coasters? The only reasons I can think of is Village roadshow being given a discount and launches costing more.

All jokes aside Six Flags would never enter Australia. Six flags hasn't built a groundup park since 1971 and even if they did enter the Australian market it would have Been during the Premier Parks era when they were expanding like crazy.

We have this proposal... Again

A Log flume like the one at Phantasialand would be perfect.

Hypothetical: what if Sunway actually took care of Wonderland and didn't shut it?
