Up-late researching (LOL) and came across http://www.premier-rides.com/ this link takes you to their site, where you will see in the bottom right corner that K-NEX is one of their stratigic partners. Coincidence or not, K-NEX & Premier-Rides, this sounds like Wonderland might be thinking around the Premier area of thrill? We may see some sort of K-NEX themed Premier Ride in the near future. No need to hype anyone, If im wrong im wrong, just thought someone might be interested in this sort of news. Thanks for everything guys and girls, Keep posting. P.S. Great web-site Richard, it's really looking Awesome!

8) Johno Here 8) Sunday i rang the park and they said that the Zodiac would take 2 or 3 day to come back up and running, and the Tasmanian Devil wouldn't be back till after the new year.

Just to add! The best one is: Before ridding Space Probe when you hop onto one of the carriges (be sure to sit on the edge for this to work) leave anouf room between the harnes and your body then when leaving the bay area stick your head out the side and when you drop it feels like you are sky diving.

The Splash For Cash Promo will go from the 27 of September to the 12 of October. So yes it will happen more than once.

Look in my photos that I posted in the Album. Under - Construction. You will see in the pictures that there are new levels in the Beach's Tower underneath the Wave Slides going out towards the AquaTube.

If the Beach is finished then why do they have new levels underneath the Wave Slides??

8) Johno Here 8) Tomorrow I will be going to WS to see how the construction in getting on. I will try to take some more photos to post in the Album.

8) Johno Here 8) On saturday I took a trip to WS to see how the Beach was getting on, all the buildings in the carparks for the WS-B Park were so "WOW" I haven't been there since April! Now on to the good stuff, the top of the Tower and the AquaTube roof were gone! The Wave slides have been painted and I'm guessing from what I could see that the Free Fall slides have too. The Wave slides had a cover round the sides. The Beach Tower has 3 NEW levels that go underneath the Wave slides and go outwards towards the AquaTube. Lots of land is cleared near the front of the Beach to the left facing from the highway. NO NEW Slides yet but I've got my fingers crossed that they can pull it off in 3 weeks (2 weeks and 2 days). I mean WHY would they open the Beach if they were still working on it, thats just crazy! They have to pull it off! GO WONDERLAND SYDNEY! Plus Check Out MY Beach Construction Photos In The Album. Under Construction.

Well then I guess we'll just have to wait and see? But if you don't think so then why would one of the STAFF tell me that they are getting new water slides AND why would they need cranes to refurbish the water slides AND on one of the post or somewhere I read that they were adding a new level to the Beach's Tower why would they be adding a new level. We'll just have to wait and see?

8) Johno Here 8) Today I rang Wonderland Sydney because I was too eager to find out what they were doing to the Beach's Tower I rang the 24 Hour Info Line thinking I would be listening to prerecorded infomation when a lady picked the phone up I took a while to respond I staggered to speak as the words came out. "Hi, Would you happen to know what they are doing to the Beach at the moment?" "They are refurbishing the water slides and putting in some new ones" "So they're not taking out any water slides?" "No they are putting in some new and better ones, the beach opens on Saturday the 27 of September in 3 weeks." That is the best news I've heard from WLS in a long time! It's also the same day SuperHero Headquarters opens in the retail outlet.

8) Johno Here 8) I have taken photos of Little Wonders Land but they are not the greatest.

8) Johno Here 8) I've been to Wonderland Sydney after 5:00pm, 6:10pm till 9:30pm they shut at 9:00pm but this was frightfest and all this Wack'o stuff was going on. The Zodiac broke down twice, when I got there the Demon was already broken down after the loop the brakes had stoped it, as well I was on Galleons Graveyard and because it's a bit boring I was just watching Space Probe and all the carriges went up and about 5-10 meters till the top, carrige number 3 just droped! (luckly no-one was on it) but it still catched at the bottom earth magnets (Go Intamin) about 5-10 minutes before 9:00pm The Demon started working so if you're not guessing evreyone ran to it and waited for the ride tests and I got on and had 3 rides and didn't end up leaving till 9:30pm. Ends.

8) Johno here 8) When I was 7 years old I saw Wonderland Sydney's Space Probe Ad and I still remember it till this day, I remember a room most likely the ride loading bay but they had different Space Probe carriages they looked nothing like the really good ones we have today probably just display carriages for media photography the carriages had no feet dangling just flat behind your legs though your feet could raise out in the air and the harnesses were a sharp V shape just like this V as well as V buckle seatbelts 1 up through the middle and 2 came around the side which buckle into the middle belt. The ad had a kind of round tank with flashing wires in it and behind the tank you saw a big moving shadow on the wall (probably the family/people running) so then the family/people ran to the carriage and then I think you saw the carriage drop, and that's all I can remember., sorry!

8) Johno here again 8) Quite true Jaggs! The Bush Beast normally does run with two trains but, due to not as many guest attending the park as the holidays, Wonderland Sydney only runs the one train. This is because of the energy they would use if they ran both trains throughout the year. This is a cost effective way of running their business. Note in the summer holidays they run the two trains but I'm not sure about the other holidays, I hope this answers your question for you.

8) Johno here once again! 8) As everyone may be wondering what happened on my last vist to Wonderland Sydney? Well I can now say that the likes of WS getting a new ride are nill after there plans for a new tiger sanctuary late this year! unless they're up and into the big piggy bank this year? lets just hope for a new ride this year, next year or even after that (wich I would rather not think about) any way on with the story on the 8th of march I will be taking a trip to WS at any time of the day including WS saturday nights; if you are reading this and you are also going to WS on the 8th then please be free to no who I am and what I look like; I will be the person screaming out the loudest on the rides and on space probe Well thank you for reading this post reply and keep on Dreaming; ~~~~ Dreams are made for you and you are made for Dreaming ~~~~

Johno here! Now this is what they said on the Wonderland Sydney website. Just click on media and sponsors then click on press releases. Somewhere below it says “This is the first stage of the strategy, first stage, strategy? Hint, Hint! Obvious! They have a strategy and it's the first stage the second stage would have to be a new Ride or Themed Land: Little Wonder's Land has closed, they're moving most of the rides out and into the rest of the park and to top it all off they haven't had a new ride for eight years now! What I think is that they're going to leave The Beastie and the Skyrider standing then build a whole new themed land in Little Wonder's Land with all new Rides and Attractions! We will have a new Ride or Themed Land within two years, I mean two years would be the perfect time to build because in two years it's Wonderland Sydney's 20th anniversary and (around) there 5th anniversary they built The Demon and there 10th anniversary they built Space Probe 7 (Space Probe) and there 15th anniversary they repainted most of there rides so that means there 20th anniversary would be a BIG ONE! http://www.----URL removed for non-compliance with Community Guidelines----/mediasponsors...pr_page_38.html

Johno here! Now this is what they said on the Wonderland Sydney website. Just click on media and sponsors then click on press releases. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feline Fantasy Becomes Reality Media Release - Embargoed - Monday 17th February 2003 5 February 2003 International Illusionists of The Year, Tony and Juleen’s Spellbinding Sorcery Illusion Show at Wonderland Sydney will be taken to a new level on Saturday 22nd February when a brand new Las Vegas style production takes the stage for a limited time. Through their respected reputation in the entertainment industry, the new production will see Tony and Juleen realise a life long dream to perform an illusion with a live tiger. In association with Wonderland Sydney, The Wonderland Conservation Foundation and the wildlife knowledge of Jonathan Minor, Director of Life Science, their dream has become reality. Tony and Juleen hope to raise the awareness of the tigers’ plight, having been inspired by their mentors “Magicians of the Century” Siegfried and Roy, who work to save the White Tigers and Lions of the world. “The goal is to increase the awareness of the tigers’ plight through the magic of entertainment. The message is simple “Education through Entertainment,” said Tony Laffan. Jonathan Minor has a strong history with tiger conservation in Australia and has been working for the past four years at The Australian Wildlife Park within Wonderland Sydney. The future will see Wonderland Sydney move into exotic animal displays and interactive educational centres. “This is the first stage of the strategy, developments for permanent displays are planned for late 2003,” stated Mr Minor. In addition to the Feline Fantasy Illusion the new production will feature several exciting new illusions. In a break from tradition Tony and Juleen together perform the Elastic Lady Illusion as one of the dancers takes on the role as “assistant”. In a humorous routine, Tony and Juleen pull and stretch her arms, head and body beyond belief. Two new audience participation routines will also be performed during the ½ hour show at Wonderland Sydney. One involves a wife pulling the lever of a two-meter high French Guillotine “Head Chopper” over her husband’s neck. The results are absolutely hilarious. WHO IS THE WCF? The Wonderland Conservation Foundation (W-C-F) has been established to fund the conservation of endangered animals. The WCF actively fund conservation in the wild, not just in captivity. One hundred percent of all funds raised by The WCF Tiger Appeal will go into protecting tigers’ in the wild. TIGER FACTS: The tiger is one of the most magnificent animals in the world, it is also one of the most endangered. Fewer than 5,000 exist in the wild and three of the eight subspecies have disappeared over the past sixty years. The South China Tiger is facing the same fate, with its population thought to number less than 50 individuals on the planet. All tiger subspecies are threatened by hunting and a lack of habitat and prey. Wonderland Sydney is the winner of Tourism New South Wales major tourist attraction award for 2002 and is the largest theme park in the Southern Hemisphere. ENDS
