I was reading some news about this new coaster going in at Knotts Berry Farm called Pony Express. The layout looks alot more fun than the motocoaster and is from Vekoma. even though its shorter, still more turns and speed. http://www.screamscape.com/html/knott_s_berry_farm.htm

I heard some interesting info today from a Movieworld contact of mine Its not Rumors.....or made up....Its real and not from a Ride Op. So we all know this Hot Wheels car show is coming. But we can also expect a new ride as well. He told me its gonna wipe Dreamworld off and be something as big as Superman in the $$ and fun factor but thats all they can say. For now. Im still sussing it out. I will find out more when i can.

Drove past today and seen a huge crane on the site with Surf Rider. Apparently its been having problems and has been closed, i heard from staff. Not sure what there doing to it.

Firstly The scariness Factor is nothing like a Dreamworld walk through. I think the real people make a HUGE impact on there type of walk throughs they have had in the past like Tomb Raider and Mummy. This one is more or less like a museum of horror items but with some scary stuff. Some things I remember is: A Mirror Room Giant Spider Mummified Meter maids fighting over a Meter to pay it. 1 door did freak me out, it was scared me with the Air in your face suddenly. Most things are done by sensors They also Copy Pirates of the Caribbean in 1 level 1 level is a Morgue/ice room of bodies Last bit is Shark themed. Im not going to spoil this bit, its probably the only good bit.

Hey guys I went to the Haunted House on Friday night, and all I can say is I'm really disappointed. It Cost $23 an Adult You start buy walking into a similar waiting area when you watch the Haunted Mansion ride in Disneyland Its all themed out with wall paper, pictures on the walls and glowing lamps. There is a Big Mirror too. The Mirror then lights up with some man from one of the shows introducing the house. Its Badly done and doesn't set the story at all. The Elevator then arrives and Dings and you hop in. It is all themed out to a old style one with bars looking like your going underground and all noises. Then a large amount of air is Pushed on you. Its built onto 5 levels I don't wanna spoil it all, but there are mirror rooms, and dare doors for the people who want a more scary path. Alot of the house is full on artifact rather then scary things like dreamworlds past haunted season attractions. Also some didnt even work, the interactive ones. Something that made me angry with and spoiled the "underground story and feeling" was you have to exit each level through the fire exits...then go down the stairs to each level. It made it not so fun and also you loose the themed feeling. In the End, it took us 30-45 mins to walk through. I give it a 6 out of 10. Infinity is way better for a walk through Attraction This could be made better

I ment to say I read it a while back, But people were talking about it last week around work and heard from friends.

Hey Guys. I actually heard about these Disney Staff coming out to Australia not long ago from someone i know who works for the government. They Mentioned they were looking at land at Coomera and all the info that Ethan talks about is actually correct. I also read this article in last weeks paper and thought to myself..... Could this be true...... Well from all the plans in the past and rumors. It may be just another one to add. But in saying that.... I dont know anything else on this and its going to be kept TOP secret until its launched to the media from Disney. Not getting my hopes up.. But thinking positively I do think, that this "Rumor/goss or what ever its called" could be true and a great addition. Im going to keep my eyes peeled for anything in the papers or news in the future.

I have heard many mixed responses about this new Coaster. Many clients and people from other states here on holidays tell me about the Moto Coaster and how they have seen it Promoted everywhere and were so excited and wrapped to ride it from all the hype on TV, radio and other media and only to have been let down. They basically have told me how it looks pathetic and like a Children's ride. Even the parents tell me this. I'm in no rush to ride this at all. I'm really disappointed, but nothing I can do. Lets hope something more thrilling and better in the Future.

Official Opening for Surf Rider is this Friday Night.

The Carrousel is not finished yet. The inside part will be all covered up. Forgot to Mention After being told that the dodgem cars will be a Pay per ride attraction, they have now come to there senses and made it included in your park entry ticket. There are 24 Cars and its a Big Track too.

Didnt you read my comment. Should be 30th unless it rains...

I just drove past and it was operating with people on it. Looks kool from the Freeway. Lots of water spraying around.

CONFIRMED. Mick Doohan Motocoaster Will Open Sunday 30th September.

2 New slides opened today at White Water World. Little Rippers is the first dueling cannon bowl water ride in the world to turn in opposite directions, one clockwise and the other anti-clockwise to create the "duelling" effect. Most significant is the "centre-core corkscrew exit" - this ground breaking technology and design creates a safe, smooth and consistent rider motion through the centre of the bowl and into the plunge pool. Im not sure on the other 1. The shell Function Centre will open next week.

The Bill Board out the front of Wet N Wild now has the Surf Rider on it. I will try and get a Picture Only days before they all open....

I think this is a great way for a park to put out there new Attraction. I only wish our parks did something for us enthusiasts.

Looks to be a beach Hut or a shack.

They have Started Testing as of Tuesday of the Surf Rider

Hey Guys just a Update on the Surf Rider Apparently they have been working really hard on this to get it up and running for these next school holidays but they have had some problems with the tracks not actually lining up. Not sure if it will impact on the opening but I heard late September we can Expect it to open. They haven't been able to run test or anything.

Its true. Just wait until you guys see. Its all a extra Cost at Intencity. Sucks I know. Now you once remember where Intencity use to be at Movieworld, Opposite the Willy Wonka Store. That has now been taken out to go in the new venue as we see in the photos. There will be a New store opening in that old Intencity area that was once the store with the castle in front of the Looney Tunes River Ride. It Actually got Rotted with White ants and Termite so there for it needed to be knocked down. I have a feeling the merry-go-round will be going in there, or a different new kids attraction.

The Dogem cars will be at a Cost for Customers to use. Not included in Park Entry

I seen the Crane today also. I think it may be the Concrete Pumper thing. It was all white.

This is definitely not a permanent attraction. There is a Intencity at Pacific Fair on the Gold Coast also

I know. Out of all the space they do have they had to put it there.
