  1. My thoughts: Arkham was going to go sooner or later. It opened over 20 years ago and was unreliable. I think when DCR was built, that severely lessened it's appeal. For the GP, they would rather go on something that is big, tall and fast then a 20 something year old coaster. People are going to be drawn to a landmark that stands out like DCR or SE as oppose to AA which was tucked away in a corner. In hindsight, when they added VR, it seems that it was a desperate attempt to keep the ride going for a bit longer. As for the replacement, I would really like them to build a Mad Max coaster. I would of personally liked VRTP to of saved the wood coaster for MW because it would fit the theme of Mad Max.
  2. Wow, so after saying a couple of weeks back that AA was staying, MW just says on a DM it getting retired.
  3. This is news from a while back but I thought I would make a forum on it. Carnival Cruises is debuting Bolt, a single rail launch coaster on Carnival Mardi Gras. It is manufactured by Maurer rides. It is set to debut next year if Covid gets under control.
  4. Just submitted a rename to the ride on the Parkz database.
  5. Sorry to dig up a old forum but what you just described there is Wonderland.
  6. Here's a thought: What if Sunway brought Wonderland and invested in new rides and attractions? What would it look like today? We know Sunway is capable of managing a theme park. Just look at Sunway Lagoon in Malaysia.
  7. I find it weird that before the new marketing material for Lethivan came out, Sea Worlds website listed it as max thrill but now it's been downgraded to a family coaster and moderate thrill.
  8. Possibly. This is a very good step in the right direction. LPS has never been a boring park but it didn't have that headlining attraction. Depends if they keep expanding. By the way, even tough LPS has more coasters, Wonderland had, in my opinon, more thrilling coasters. Either way, this is grea for any Australian coaster fan as we can now ride a single rail coaster.
  9. Guy's, as I said, the staff at the parks and guest services is amazing. The Road Runner incident was a one off and I have found the staff at Village's and Adernt's theme parks amazing. I want to stress that. I've been to the parks and what this forum was meant to be about accessiblity more then anything. I once again am greatful to the op's. The main thing I wanted to raise was waterparks. I feel like waterslides are difficult to get onto. Once again, the staff at waterparks are great at fixing problems. I think a easy fix would be to make the loading bit wider. That way it wouldn't be as arkward to get on slides.
  10. OMG! Where do I begin. Since Wonderland closed, Sydney hasn't had a major coaster. I can't believe a park in Sydney is bringing the first Single Rail coaster to Australia. 2021 will be the best year for theme parks in Australia. This announcement secures a booming post - Covid tourism market for NSW. Ranger going was sad but this weighs out all of this. Lets look at these rides: 6 new kids rides: from the image it looks like a a family boomerang and a loop layout coaster A massive pendulem ride The holy grail, a new single rail coaster which is named the big dipper ( again )
  11. So, that forum died. I'm guessing they will announce the re - theme in December to get park attendance up. Honestly, I like the new theme of the ride. Yeah it's tacky but someone was going to name a coaster The Gold Coaster.
  12. I'm writing this post because I am disabled. I have Cerebral Palsy, a movement disability which affects all my limbs. I have been on all the rides on the Gold Coast and I am looking forward to going on Leviathan when it opens. The staff at the parks have been great in accomodating my needs and I thank them. However, there are some issues. For example, once I wanted to go in RR at Movie World, a relatively tame coaster compared to the other attractions in the park. I was expecting to get on the ride with my brother and without my mum since I've been on Superman and DC Rivals without a carer. I was wrong. The attendant said I had to ride with a adult. I was confused. I had just been on the biggest coaster in Australia without a adult and now I had to ride a coaster which is barely considered a thrill ride with a adult. Another issue is water parks. We are now coming into the summer season and I will be going to JAP and possibly RR. Waterslides are hard to get onto because the tubes are floating. I really want to be able to walk up to the ride myself and just hop on with my mates but the loading is awkward so my Mum and Dad have to help me. It really annoys me how the industry sometimes assumes the disabled guests aren't wanting to go on thrill rides.
  13. People on Parkz love to speculate / dream about what is coming to parks next. In the style of Coaster Studios old 5 year plan videos, feel free to speculate about what may be coming to parks in the future. P.S there might already be a five year plan forum on Parkz but that hardly gets used.
  14. Hi guys, I know it's annoying that I keep posting these questions on here that I should know but: 1. Where is the Parkz construction thread for Wet 'N' Wild Sydney? 2. Was the announcement of the park expected by the Parkz community / in general? 3. How long had Village been in talks with the NSW government for about building the park?
