Saw a nice big billboard for AW coming back from Perth's International Terminal today. Great to see AW thinking big like that. Often when I go to BNE I see the ads for the GC parks and wonder why it doesn't happen here.

[grrofunger]

loving adventure world, the park has grown very well.

First time season pass member , does anyone know if you can buy fast passes at the season pass member entry gate?

i have been about 20 times this season but yet to go at opening time and yet to try and get a fast pass. kids really want to get them at least once this season.

thanks for your help , great site here i just found.

_{Hi Grrofunger}

_{I'm glad your all enjoying AW. In answer to your question yes you are able to purchase fast passes at the Season pass entry gate but only at one of the terminals on the left hand side where they are set up with EFTPOS.}

_{SP member queues are not particularly long at 10.00am, usually most people would be in the park within 15 mins (if you want to make the most of a long day) otherwise come at 10.30am and walk straight in!}

_{Thanks for your patronage, we do appreciate it.}

_{Have an AWesome day!}

Thanks Mark

Really appreciate it, we will get there for opening (and leave at 7pm). Don't want to miss out on the fast passes.

Keep up the good work

PS - Cant wait for the big new water slide next year !!

[iwerks]

Hopefully the slide will be this year, just next season.

[Noxegon]

I'm very much looking forward to riding Abyss in about ten days time. Hoping it's as good as it looks

[grrofunger]

Hopefully the slide will be this year, just next season.

oh yeah for sure, thats what i meant

[Mark Shaw]

MI2 will launch late Sept/early October 2015 latest. Plans look really good currently. work starts on ground early April.

I'm excited! I'm sure it's going to be a fantastic addition to Adventure World!

[grrofunger]

yep exciting !!

i might have to move my bed to the adventure world carpark with the amount of time i am spending there

^You could always rent a space on the Bungee West tower.

I think a campover, like some of the smaller American theme parks have, would totally suit AW. Plenty of grass to pitch a tent. Rock your Adventure-side, anyone?

[Tim Dasco]

I would join that. Like a theme park enthusiast camp out. With behind the scene's tour. YAY!

LOL

[Mark Shaw]

You might be on to something with that camp out idea! I'll talk to the team and see what they think. No hanging out your dirty laundry on the guide ropes though!

[iwerks]

I think we're starting a queue for tickets now..

Here's the original TPR article about Cedar Point:

Yarli's Safari could end up looking like this...?

[grrofunger]

just wouldn't want it turning into a pseudo 'adults pool party' type event in the tents etc- ........if you know what i mean....

sounds great in theory with families and enthusiasts having a sleepover camping party in the park but there will always be an element that would ruin this type of event for everyone

Does this occur at similar events overseas?

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Holy crap.

Will someone please get the VRTP CEOs on here.

Mark - your commitment and connection to your fans and your guests is amazing. They speak - you hear AND acknowledge.

I mean yeah theres clearly profit in there for you to do something like that... but still... just wow.

[Mark Shaw]

we would foresee some issues of people messing around and trying to spoil for others so we would have to take measures to address this and I'll speak to the operations guys about that sort of stuff.

I'm not promising anything because there are challenges around maintenance and management presence all night that may be a stumbling block but I promise we will discuss.

Thanks Alex, I'm a theme park enthusiast too and I'm fortunate to work in this amazing industry.

[grrofunger]

not sure, just thinking of the bogan element in Perth

Maybe i am being harsh on my city

[Gazza]

The example event given was at Cedar Point.... Wouldn't they equally have a "redneck" element?

Didn't stop them.

[Noxegon]

Every city has its reprobates. It's not a big deal and can be managed.

Also, I'd like to echo what's been said here about Mark – it's really great to see park management contributing to an enthusiast forum.

[iwerks]

Yes, thanks Mark for listening.

In the article, it mentions a lottery/ballot system. If people had to apply you would at least have a pretty good record of who was there. You could also allocate a percentage of tickets and camping areas strictly for families.

Iwerks, yes, I picked up on that.
