  1. All The new slide Mi2 is indeed a Proslides Tornado 60. at 260m long it is the longest in the world, the steepest drop top to bottom (30m). The slide starts with a small drop to get up to speed quickly then shortly after enters a nice 360 degree section with another steep curve down then out into a long snake like section before the usual drop into the funnel. I'm sorry for those who were hoping for a hybrid. We did investigate this unfortunately the geotechnical reports showed very soft top ground which means we have in places 8m deep piles for the engineering supports. If we had added a bowl the foundations would have needed to be enormous and cost prohibitive. I think it will be a terrific slide though, along with the theming which itself is enormous and impressive. Thanks for your patience with the announcement. Please do not share on social media until after 7pm tonight. Mark Regards

  2. Thankyou for your application to create a new thread. Unfortunately your chosen topic was created 14 months ago: It was also commented on less than 15 minutes before you created this thread. The CEO of Adventure World - Mark Shaw - has also been commenting in that thread. But - you already knew that didn't you? We regret to inform you that in this occasion, your application has been unsuccessful. In future - to improve your chances - we recommend a quick scan of the site to determine whether we've actually known about it longer than you have *(usually we have). Further, if its the day the park is announcing it in an exclusive broadcast with a major media outlet (Perth - Today Tonight, Channel 7), chances are we've already studied nearmap, determined the placement of the footers, suggested, and shot down hundreds of different theories on what it could be, and - usually with the help of some inside knowledge - all but determined what it will be prior to the announcement. Thanks for playing!

  7. So I'm at Tafe studying Technical Production (sound and lighting etc) and my teacher was telling us stories about an explosion on the backlot where they make (or used to) to make gun powder pyro effects for the Police Academy Stunt Show (and possibly maverick). Happened about 15 years ago. I did a quick google and nothing came up. Apparently there was 3 guys and one was leaving the building as it went off and threw them all outside the building. Severely burned them beyond recognition. Has anyone heard about this?
