There are 3 large water slides, in addition to a host of smaller ones.
A staple of many family/water parks, Kahuna Falls is a giant water play structure.
The go karts require you to wear enclosed footwear, so if you are too much of a typical Aussie and turn up to the park in thongs you may well just have to sit here and watch everyone else instead.
The back half of the circuit.
The first turns.
Grand Prix Raceway is the parks go kart track, included with admission.
The limitation to this ride system is that the cables holding the gondola must always be kept in tension for safety reasons, so when the gondola is dropping, it is done at slightly slower than true freefall speed to ensure this.
The ride system is unique. A giant ram runs up the middle of the tower, with a pulley wheel on the end of the ram. Cables are attached to the gondola, loop up over the top of the tower and under the afformentioned pulley wheel. This means when the ram retracts the gondola is pulled up, and when the ram extends the ride car lowers down.
Overview of the ride platform.
The ride was also built in Germany, by the famous flat ride manufacturer Huss.
The ride is actually the highest capacity freefall ride in Australia, carrying 24 riders per cycle.
The ride had its orgins on the German funfair circuit, but now has a permanent home at Adventure World.
The ride runs a lengthy cycle, with guests launched upwards and freefalling down, as well as being lifted up slowly and released....Imagine it as a combination of Batwing Spaceshot at Movie World and the Giant Drop at Dreamworld.
Free Fall is a decent sized drop tower, placed upon a hill that overlooks the park.
Dragon Flyer is a simple round ride for kids.
The first drop.
Since the removal of the Turbo Mountain coaster, this remains the only coaster in the park.
Dragon Express is a coaster for young kids.
