    Yep! From a Victorian perspective, Luna Park Melbourne has some very intense rides like Enterprise, and Gumbuya World has two of the most intense rides in Australia, Rebel and Project Zero being two out of only four rides to reach 5Gs (Vortex at SW and SX360 at Aussie World are the others). Both are family parks. A family park is a park where all members of the family can have fun, for thrill seekers and the faint-hearted. It doesn’t have to be all family rides.

    Yes it is Gumbuya who I am predicting will add a resort. The Herald Sun has reported they are working to establish accommodation They have lots of room Good place on the highway No hotels basically in-between Melbourne and Tralagon Perfect timing with the 2026 Commonwealth Games I am thinking it will be separately priced, with a big 300-400 room resort. Comparing it with the Sea World Resort and Hotel V, my guess is it will be more like the former due to height restrictions. Rooms that face the forest will most likely be more costly.

    The slogan is “A new formula for thrills”. Interesting. Could it be themed the same or Formula One? This is what I think will happen to it: LSM Launch Launch and Brake to be developed by Intamin or Zamperla Queue to be moved from the middle of the track New theme in some form And IF there is any change to the track etc. Not staying in its current form, here’s what I hope will happen: Station is moved slightly to the left of the track Due to the speed of LSMs slower than Hydraulic Launch, a rollback is introduced and something like Steel Taipan’s launch is introduced where a rollback happens, goes up the tail whip, then goes to complete the track However I think the only change to the layout will be LSMs. If changed it could be the tallest coaster in the world as well as maybe the fastest.

    Great to see so many popular YouTubers visit our parks. The Scenic Railway is a great coaster IMO.

    I was going to see you and the crew on the 17th at Gumbuya World but unfortunately I am busy that day, as well as the two others (GP) who I am going with not wanting to go on that day (as there will likely be more than 100 enthusiasts there with Fast Pass, and they are not buying it) P.S Will you be going on the flat rides/waterslides at Adventure World/Adventure Park etc. or just the coasters?

    Not a prediction for 2023, but one for 2024: One park not from the GC (in VIC) will build a resort. Hint: It has already hinted at a resort previously as part of its next expansion.
  8. TBoy
    Not Sure. On the FlowRider website it only mentions Gumbuya World and Wet N Wild GC, as well as two pools in Kalgoorlie and Cairns. https://www.flowrider.com/projects/?q=Australia
  9. TBoy
    Basically White Water World, Wet N Wild and Gumbuya World had FlowRiders. Unfortunately after 2020 only the latter remains.
  10. TBoy
    Same with the NSW/VIC parks. Gumbuya World, Luna Park Sydney + Melbourne and Aussie World are also being visited by some people. Remember there are parks outside of the GC! I will be visiting Gumbuya when the European Coaster Club are in Australia, hope I see some fellow enthusiasts!

    I wonder when DD will open? It has been closed for around 2.5 weeks for maintenance.

    Escape from Madagascar's maintenance date has been moved from January to March-May. Also, most of the rides have also been moved from a January maintenance. Here is the updated version of all the rides in Dreamworks: MADAGASCAR Escape from Madagascar: March 15 to May 30 Mad Jungle Jam: January 30 to March 31 SHREK Dronkey Fliers: Not Listed Puss In Boots Sword Swing: Not Listed Gingy's Glider: Not Listed Shrek's Ogre Go Round: January 30 to Febuary 10 KUNG-FU PANDA Pandanonium: January 30 to March 24 Skadoosh: Not Listed For me it seems Madagascar will be first to be changed over to Kenny and Belinda. Unfortunately I feel like due to the close buildings of ABC Kids, Dreamworld Express will have to be closed for months for the demolition of ABC and the building of Jungle Rush/Relocation of Vintage Cars.

    I agree. The launch is more powerful than GL's chainlift, Superman goes faster, Superman is taller, Superman has more G Force, and Superman is longer in length. Just because something has inversions doesn't mean that is scarier. Heck, even the new SFC will be faster then GL and have an equal Gs to GL.

    I doubt an RMC Raptor would go there or a B&M. Like I said, it would most likely be trees/scenery or something and the actual coaster gets moved to either Gumbuya World or Adventure World. DC Rivals being right next to GL kinda takes the spotlight off it as the parking lot coaster.

    Unfortunately there is not a lot of room for a replacemen for Green Lantern as the coaster is stuck inbetween the entrance and DCR with no extra room. If it were to be replaced it would most likely become trees and scenery for the park with no ride replacement. However if it did get removed from Movie World, I think it could be moved to another park as I have said in previous comments. Here would be who I think would get it: Aussie World: It takes up a short amount of space so Aussie World could possibly buy it, would be a great fit for the park Big Banana - Not sure if they have the money for it and I don't think they would get it Luna Park Sydney - Not enough space for it to fit in the park it is already too crowded Jamberoo - Would be good for the park, however not sure if they would go for it Magic Mountain - Same reasons as Big Banana Adventure Park - Would be great to compete with Gumbuya World, however not sure if they would invest in it Funfields - Same reason as Adventure Park Luna Park Melbourne - Same reason as LPS Gumbuya World - Would fit in perfectly with Project Zero by getting another thrill coaster, however I'm not sure they would want to buy it Adventure World - Would be awesome, as they seem to be a perfect place for another coaster and would fit in with Abyss etc. For me if it was sold Adventure World would be most likely to receive it, then Funfields, Adventure Park and Jamberoo, then Gumbuya. LPS, LPM, MM and BB will definitely not be getting it.

    Yes they do. If I am correct these are the manufacturers for each water ride: Boomerango (White Water West Boomerango) Taipan (White Water West Rattler/Constrictor Fusion) Red Belly Racer (ProSlide Rally Racer) Tiger Snake Tango (ProSlide Custom TurboTwister) Typhoon Island (White Water West RainFortress) Surf's Up (White Water West Flowrider) Lazy River (White Water West Wave River) The Break (ProSlide Wave Pool) Gumbuya went to WWW in Phase 1 and ProSlide in Phase 2. IIRC Funfields and White Water World only have White Water West for the water playground, Adventure Park only has them for a water playground/racing slide however Raging Waters and Wet N Wild have most of their slides with White Water West.

    Sorry for the late post: If I was to compare the two parks to another Australian park, they would be two different ones. For Funfields, I would compare it to Jamberoo Action Park in NSW. The two parks both have the same family-owned feel with the toboggans, but great rides to go to. Meanwhile, I would compare Gumbuya World to Dreamworld. Yes the former is much smaller than the latter, but they both have the same feel of Waterslides, Rides and Animals.

    Some more details: One plane landed belly-up, while another made an emergency landing All 7 people were injured on one plane, while 3 were injured in the other On the 7-person plane, 4 people including the pilot were killed, while 3 others are in a critical condition 3 people on the other plane were injured I feel for everyone here. All they wanted to do is go on a helicopter ride over the beach but they got injured or killed instead.

    Lead story on Nine News and Seven News in Sydney and Melbourne. Must be very serious. UPDATE: Seven and Nine in Adelaide also have it as a lead story.
  20. TBoy
    Nine are saying that they are both owned by Sea World.
  21. TBoy
    Nine reporting that 13 people have been hurt, 6 have been taken to hospital and 4 people are dead.
  22. TBoy
    How sad. Was it a helicopter tour that crashed into another one? If so, even sadder. Either way, really sad that people thought they would go on a nice view of the beach via helicopter, not knowing it would be their last moments of life. Hopefully they are OK.
  23. TBoy
    The only new way to get new attractions is to get rid of some. LPS had to get rid of 8 attractions to fit in the new ones in 2021. If LPM wanted to get rid of some to make a similar move to LPS, then they would basically have to get rid of: Pharoh's Curse Enterprise Twin Dragon The Power Surge Moon Balloons Happy Swing Ghost Train Spider Arabian Merry
  24. TBoy
    Looks like they are going to: Movie World Aussie World Wet N'Wild Dreamworld Sea World Big Banana Luna Park Sydney Luna Park Melbourne Gumbuya World Adventure World White Water World, Raging Waters, Jamberoo Action Park, Magic Mountain, Funfields and Adventure Park not mentioned.
  25. TBoy
    If you get to go to Melbourne one day you should try to get to both of them if you can. Maybe try to get to Adventure/Luna Park but if you could only pick two I would pick Gumbuya and Funfields.
