Maybe they will play a documentary on why SW is lacking in rides.

The Adventure World team are extremely excited for the launch of their first AW nights event tomorrow and have been doing many updates of preparation for the night on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. ”Spotted! Flamingling around the park. TOMORROW NIGHT it’s #AWnights showtime! Better be quick and pick up your tix online now for your chance to win a Family Season Pass for the 2018-19 Season.”

Reading the ad also reminded me about Michael Edgley and how it was called Edgley's Adventure World. Edgley also developed the now defunct Perth Entertainment Centre. We also had Alan Bond, who besides winning the America's Cup, which helped reinvigorate Fremantle, he also developed Atlantis, our former local marine park. Back in those days, Two Rocks, really was in the middle on nowhere. This got me to thinking about our current crop of theme park instigators. We definitely need people who are lightning rods of fun around Australia. People who can help promote our leisure sector services. In Perth, it's great that the Woodcock's were able to get seed funding for a water park at The Maze (although we're still waiting to see the final version of this come to fruition). Then there are people like David Bakas trying to create some heat for Sydney's Wonderland 2.0. It's kinda frustrating when you look around Australia and look at the lack of development of our fun park sector, although regional Victoria seems to be an exception to the rule, and how places like Adelaide and Hobart don't seem to have much at all. Why can't everyone have the right to catch a coaster after work, like some of us can with Abyss in Perth and you guys on the GC? In Perth, we also had Eric Person, who helped develop the InspireWA theme park concept that was initially working along with companies like Sally Corp. He's now co-operating with Jimmy Choo and helping to promote Australian fashion. And then we have Mark Shaw and his recent work with Gumbaya World. Mark was fantastic with his promotion of Adventure World during his time at the helm and I hear that he's got some great things coming up. We need people like this. Goodluck to them all.

I thought I would make a thread to talk about the recently announced AW Nights events.

HAHAHA they had a special price for the Unemployed 😂😂

That Inferno ride has to be the greatest piece of shit ever.

I rode about a week ago. - The archway as you round the corner to the station platform needs re-painting. It's been like this forever and I don't understand why it wasn't fixed last refurb. - The ride itself looked as shit as ever. Blades swing overhead but are in the dark. - looks like some walls have been fitted here and there but they are just black painted flat board and look temporary, possibly just to further darken the dark ride area. - Main Laser was out. Only laser was to the left of the first brake in the main room. I never noticed 1 there before. - you could see a pile of boxes on the floor in the main room. Possibly storing original figures waiting to be reinstalled. It's so disappointing to see the ride like this and I hope it gets some love soon.

Just an update It seems that Dreanworld have re-installed the water canons for Wipeout. Happy soaking!

Wow - you guys are about as informative as the AW website. It would be useful to learn something more about the Nights before going, but it's always nice to get a pleasant surprise. I wonder if they'll get as many performers in with Fringeworld taking place across other parts of Perth. It would be cool if they did Dive-in movies or at least recreate the outdoor cinema they had for Fright Nights. The bar is always a great place to escape the crowds - it's good that it's back. I wonder what extra lighting or effects they'll have for the rides? We'll soon find out.

I believe they will be building cages around the tee mats incase someone lets go of their golf club. It will look something like this..

I don't think they're ready for an intamin giant drop. for what they are, they're better off with a hair raiser type tower. Mainly because it's cheaper. As for "mi7" and "2025" I predict AW is going to have a very big slow down in their developments... they can still call them "MI" but the M will more likely stand for "minimal"... I don't think they've got the ability to keep their previous stamina going - and anything beyond 2020 is pure pipe dream.
