I love how Adventure World are actually marketing this. Village Roadshow should take note.

It would give MDMC a run for its Thrill dollar...

There's an interesting debate over on the FB page about the importance of the location of a new Wonderland...Whilst being by a rail line or something will be useful, I reckon the fundamental reason the original WL failed was just because it wasn't an attractive proposition for visitors. Obviously, one big factor contributing to WLs downfall is that they never built new rides, and in fact shut some down and made the park smaller. This acted as a disincentive to repeat visits. But overall, if the base offering were any good the park would have remained popular....Except it wasn't popular. Despite the emotional attachment people had to the place and how much people go on about how it was "the best place ever" (See the WL History FB page), objectively, the park wasn't that great.... -Only had two roller coasters, and no kids coasters (Because they closed the only one suitable for families....a nice way to alienate a big chunk of the market) -Similarly, the closure of Hannah Babera land made the park less attractive for families too. The Beach Water park also served families with kids poorly too...A number of huge freefall slides for thrillseekers and a long slide in the dark, but basically only some boring shallow pools to entertain everyone else -The coasters themselves were fairly unexceptional too...Bush Beast was rough and had no airtime, Demon was rough, short, run of the mill Boomerang clone. -Beyond that, I'd argue it was really only Snowy River Rampage, Space Probe and Bountys Revenge that were really any good. -So at best, the park had 5 attractions worth going for, and even then they were still pretty average. -Overreliance on "spin n spew" rides to make up the rest of the lineup....which is exactly what Luna Park had, so hardly a point of difference. So my final bit of constructive feedback.....If the vision for a new Wonderland is a "fairground" style park with expanses of concrete, and old fashioned rides like ferris wheels and sideshow games and swinging chair rides like what is shown in the renders; Then I don't think the park will really be that captivating and appealing in the 21st century...I'd urge you to do some background research on the rides on offer, and the look and feel of the best theme parks out there....Here are a few pics that capture what i mean:

I normally don't like posts like this, but: That sounds pretty gay. Not homosexual, but the colloquial use of the word gay, meaning lame. The back story seems needlessly complex, and poorly conceived. It's like they took a weak idea off a theme park website written by amateurs and turned it into a real thing. I'm sure the attraction might well be OK, but the story is pretty piss poor. (With apologies to the writer)

An indoor Eurofighter would be incredible. Just look at Dollywood's Mystery Mine.
