Aliens conducting a secret human experiment inside a volcano in the Bermuda Triangle, apparently located on the Gold Coast. Walking through a door into a 'Hollywood film set', but having to board an earth drill to be transported 'back to Australia' Who said these stories had to make perfect cohesive sense? jesus christ, suspend your disbelief for a while and just appreciate that an Australian Theme Park is actually putting in actual effort to theme something instead of slapping a logo on it and calling it a day. Yet more proof enthusiasts will never be fucking happy.

That's an awful lot of words to say you made it all up in your head. "Massive Pyramid Temples" could be ascribed to South America, or Africa... or even - *gasp* - Australia. Yes, Australia also has an archaeological pyramid site too - once thought to be work of Egyptians, Mayans, Phoenicians, Chinese, or even - Aliens... (maybe Bermuda had merit after all) The tasman company could be because they're FROM the tasman region, but remember that the Tasman Sea (and Tasmania) were derived from a dutch explorer. You've jumped to the jungle being aussie rainforest, despite the fact it's not a rainforest, plus the origins of the name Murrisippi (coined by John Longhurst after visiting Disneyland) could just as easily lean towards the Mississippi River rather than the Murray River and be located somewhere in the Louisiana Bayous? It's not a fucking history lesson, nor is it a geography one. It's entertainment. They don't have to be period and location accurate. Just because it doesn't fit your narrative, doesn't mean they haven't had attention to detail or anything else you care to complain about. For once we're getting something that's actually THEMED and we can SEE the level of DETAIL in the THEMING elements before CONSTRUCTION is even FINISHED and instead of talking about how COOL the ROCKWORK looks or how TWISTY the track elements are or how FUN the MULTIMILLION DOLLAR ROLLERCOASTER looks - you're going to whinge about AI involvement (again) and by extension seek to rubbish all other elements of the design scope from the comfort of your Kmart gamers chair by the glow of your ANKO brand LED strip lighting. These guys are paid to do this. You aren't. There's probably a reason why that is.

I think the wet\dry park ship has sailed. Sea World Water Park was turned into battle boats and a splash pad because bringing your swimwear, towels etc and lugging them all around the park (as well as losing an hour of more of your day to the waterpark when there were so many other things to do) just wasn't a popular idea. If you want to swim, there's two waterparks that have you covered. Waterslides do not belong in a non-waterpark. Water attraction, maybe - but i think battle boats and storm already have the 'get wet' situation covered, and the park really needs fleshing out with some high capacity dry attractions to soak up the crowds. It's been said hundreds of times before, but what sea world really needs is an observation attraction, preferably a giant wheel (towers are impacted by winds - just like trident is, so a wheel with a semi-continuous load would be preferable). Heck if every two-bit japanese town can have a ferris wheel, there really isn't much reason why Sea World can't... especially as the spit height limits are no longer a thing.

Honestly, I'd love to see an observation wheel at Sea World again. The Sea World eye really was the perfect fit for the park and the R60 model (same as the Brisbane wheel) looked very nice and I feel it was the perfect size. I think a wheel the size of the Southern Star would look really out of place on the Sea World skyline, and I'd personally hope for something smaller. I think the 60 - 80m height would be ideal. I think Sea World needs 3 new attractions to round out the lineup, an observation ride (Ferris Wheel), a Transport Ride and another decent flat ride. I don't think they need another water ride, and I think for Roller Coasters they are pretty good for now. Maybe in the future a coaster with inversions would be good (in say 5 or so years though)

I'm asking questions based on what I can see from the project so far, I'm not trying to state fact & it doesn't involve you in any way, so there's no reason to feel personally slighted. Either take your meds or touch some grass, whatever works to calm you down. I feel like it'll stay as-is 'til they decide to change/remove the whole ride to fit whatever theme they choose, so they don't change it just for it to be gone in a couple years.

Bruh its not that deep. Can we just enjoy the theming instead of correcting every single element basing it on where its from etc.I joined this Forum to learn about our parks and I enjoy the conversations and diffrent opinions of other people. I didnt join for a Geography lesson. Im looking forward to Junge Rush and I think its going to be a massive drawcard for vistors While I do agree with wanting Motor Coaster getting a retheme to match Jungle Rush Im not going to have a conniption about it if they dont. You and you only can choose to look at the good things or point out 1 tiny spec of dust to complain about. Unless its a massive eyesore its not a big issue.

Brisbane Wheel is just over 50m diameter, and the footing requires around a 25x25m pad Melbourne Southern Star Observation Wheel is around 110m diameter, footing goes about 55m wide, not sure on the overall footprint though as the supports dont appear to be symmetrical... The castle space could absolutely accommodate a wheel, though the size would have to be carefully considered as its not super straightforward - the widest clearance (the diameter of the wheel) required is only halfway up the wheel, so you can potentially build over top of some other facilities or attractions. The castle space is also elevated from it's surrounds, so it's already clear of almost every nearby obstacle that you could probably fit a Southern Star sized wheel in easily, giving more spacious cabins than what Brisbane offers. While the footprint is not big enough for what is in Melbourne, the majority of the footprint is open space, with a support column near the corners - this could easily be worked around the existing pathways in Sea World without much impact or redirection. Personally I think it would be best in an East-West orientation (top to bottom in the picture below), giving views up and down the park for the majority of the ride, rather than primarily looking at water on both sides. (And if the monorail station is removed, there's even more space - plus those bathrooms underneath it could do with a refresh)

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is all green in terms of colour… perhaps connected, perhaps not.

I’ve got the pictures now, I shall attach them below. Sorry for the poor quality, I forgot to turn on cinematic mode. (added pics too of vintage cars and jungle Rush in general. There appears to be more grass photo opportunities, but the vintage car has been removed when I went. There is a big red car in the corner of a picture, the rest is off camera).
