I have no idea who you and your beautiful blue tick are but from the theme of this thread you seem to be giving me a reason to visit Victoria in the future (other than for work).

Reanimated35 3,493 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 Good to see Australia's first Parkz themed park under construction. Everyone gets to choose a ride to get built. 👍 Great news though, I hope it's a thoroughly successful endeavour for you Mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobe 858 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 Wow brilliant news!!! So many good things to look forward to in the theme park industry in Australia at the moment- and the majority of the parks are stepping up their game!! This is the cream on the cake and has really flown under the radar!! Given the developments on the Gold Coast, the new plans and attractions for Aussie World, the $20 million dollar investment in LPS, the continuing expansion of Jamberoo, the new attractions at Funfields and Adventure Park, MI3 at Adventure World, plus now this its a great time to be an amusement park lover! Looking forward to hearing more news and info as it comes to light! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cactus_Matt 97 Report post Posted May 25, 2017 But seriously, this is pretty damn exciting, hopefully this is nearby to where I live not just so I can visit often but maybe get a change in work life!

Cactus_Matt 97 Report post Posted May 27, 2017 I'm secretly (selfishly) hoping this is on or near the Mornington Peninsula, or at least on the East side as that's where I live. And the 1hr 15mins clue lines up with that too. *fingers crossed* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 232 Report post Posted May 27, 2017 Very exciting news! As a melbournian I am elated to see a new player emerge. More competition in Vic will only see the betterment of the other parks here. Along with the new additions at both Funfields and Adventure Park - loads of new stuff to try this summer season in victoria. @Mark Shaw Is there a possibility that the Mammoth Plunge water slide from Seaworld will be making it's way to this new home in Victoria??

iwerks 853 Report post Posted May 27, 2017 Sounds like a perfect match for Mark, if it is Adventure Park. Found this interesting little history on the place. The ethos certainly matches: 'We wanted to transition to become more than a water park, we wanted to become a theme park.' http://www.victorianchamber.com.au/sites/default/files/page/documents/vtc14-extraordinaryentrepreneurs.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yaark 28 Report post Posted May 30, 2017 Hi all, looooong time lurker, first time poster!! This sounds exciting.. is this a new park, or expansion of an existing park in Victoria? Will be following the progress of this closely. As a Melbournite, we need more of these parks and attractions in this part of the world!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
