I've been on this ride quite a few times over the years, with my last ride being around 2016. It may have gotten a bit rougher or more intense since then, but I also think some people might have underlying or undiagnosed health issues and don't realise just how intense these rides can be. Personally, I don't think I'd be hopping on it these days now that I'm a bit older! 😅

4 years on.... Any updates or movements? I feel its all been on put on hold....

Finally its announced. I have known about it for a while but didnt wanna spill anything. $20 million on a revamp is wild. I am hoping the theming and area gets a huge overhaul to match the river down area and "Mine" theme. Bit of a let down on the use of Ai for the concept art too... Lets see what else comes of it all

Right lol. Council pool slide

While this is a good addition to WNW, who else thinks they would have done something better? Its pretty mediocre and generic for a water park these days and they have so many body slides already.

Can someone please share this article

I went 2 weeks ago and only 1 was working. The staff member told me its due to budget cuts on rosters. The whole park had minimal staff working who were all so angry and the slowest loading. My overseas friends were let down. Quite embarrassing.

Anyone know what kind of slides these are? I can see 4 trademarks waiting for approval for the park. My guess its a Bowl kind of slide by the name of them.

No carnival rides that's for sure. I would rather they just clear that area and expand on western land and utilise the area for a larger attraction. I would love to see a multi launch coaster of some kind. The area is quite big for them to work with something good and themed to western precinct. Runaway mine carts ?

Waiting patiently for an on ride video to surface....

Years ago. Mid 2000's but you could see the orange track with the cream/yellow

Might be there still but back in the day they had a few pieces laying around near the big brother studio area. I have attached where roughly... But might not be there anymore.

I didn't think to make a new topic but if admin wants to they can move it to its own. UrbanSurf has been open for a few years now and its very popular attracting a lot of visitors. Will be a good activity hub

*News* Australia's second TopGolf to open in Melbourne mid 2027... Melbourne Airport is proposing to develop the Elite Park precinct as a premium leisure, entertainment, retail and hospitality destination which includes Australia's second TopGolf.

Back on topic. Does anyone know how long this coaster will go for? It seems smaller than expected to me

100%! I still think about the time Lord Mayor Sally Cap said last year: " I'd love to see a splash mountain coming down from the Bolte bridge into the docklands Yarra river" lol So delusional of her.... I do hope Disney get some kind of park presence here or experience... But I don't see it happening anytime soon.... Also not in the state of Victoria.... Definitely not supported by the Victoria government, they are broke!

Didn't even make a year and the rumors started again. It wont happen..... These news outlets just love to make a story.

The whole area has a theming downgrade, from the original concept art... Looks like it's from Wish.com or Shien now with what was originally revealed and announced.... Let's see what comes with the finishing product.🙈

Thanks for confirming. I just found the older post on here. Thought this was something new. Cheers

I'm not sure as I can't read the article as it's a paywall article.

Outback Lodge tourist accommodation project planned for Paradise Country. Plans to expand one of the Gold Coast’s biggest theme parks to include visitor accommodation. Anyone able to post the article here from the Bulletin?

I went on it prior to the loop installation back in 2010. Very fast launch and not the smoothest ride or take off.

I was only reading about Oceana Water park last week and updates with the slides and stuff. Looked awesome and now this.... This is really sad. Hope no one was injured. Hopefully they re-build it all.

Lowering my expectations... usually these work for a year and then stop. They aren't maintained or upkept.

Looks great. Thanks for sharing. I just hope Dreamworld keep up the ongoing maintenance and theme in a good way.
