iwerks 784 Report post Posted September 28 @Tim Dasco and I paid a visit to Adventure World, today. There are no new rides. Quite a few things have had a fresh coat of paint, but lots of things haven’t. Tim was impressed with how the grass looked. There is large fencing around the haunt/maze area. Inferno is still testing. The animal part was closed, despite Aimee, the keeper, being inside and the place looking okay. Yarli’s Safaris has new paint/decals. Buccaneer Battle seems to be cracking down on any loose items(including hats and glasses). The crowds slowly built up over the day. The queue for the Grand Prix looked to be about 30 minutes. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am I right? 😀 Actually I highly don't think thats the case. The conveyor belt and splashdown pool seem to be designed So another ride can't use those facilities.

I can confirm they 100% can, the pool just needs to be widened and the other slide will start right next to the kraken conveyer belt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A.H 5 Report post Posted October 5 I have a question about adventure world in 2005. What is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Dasco 643 Report post Posted October 5 @A.H it was an attraction called Kiddie Creek which was a kids ride for those under 100cm’s I believe and they would go around the creek for one lap in a little boat. This attraction was remove the year Kahuna Falls opened. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My favourite ride at the park when I was very young. It was placed in and amongst trees with one attendant and you did a lap and off you hopped. I remember the water being rather murky and the creek was quite skinny. Last ride circa 2007 (for me) And some more questions.. What is that building situated where the abyss would be put in? Is that the toboggan I see where kraken and sea serpents are now? Did the now non existent castle lake ever house anything? Does AW own that land above turbo mountain on the eastern side of the pic?

Monorail and toboggan were removed later in 2005 and Replaced by Super 6 aqua racer (Now tidal wave), and Sea serpents in 2006. Castle was a viewing tower and the lake had paddle boats.

There was an empty section that was also used for mazes, like Prison Break. Yeah, the old toboggan and monorail were at the bottom of the pic. The castle lake had the peddle boats, with a miniature train going around it. The castle was a lookout and a one-time haunt attraction. AW does own some extra land, although turbo mountain was on the western side of the pic(towards the coast). Beat me to it @A.H 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iwerks 784 Report post Posted October 12 Solo trip to AW, today. Got a free coffee and a nice chat with Ross. Inferno is back up and running. Apparently, it got a new control panel in the refurb. It was doing shots and what appeared to be extended drops. The Aussie Wildlife Experience has yet to reopen. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
