    We were invited to the opening of The Lagoon, this week. The new pool area looks great. There are a few cabanas in this area as well as The Deck, which can cater for up to 40 people. The new Gage Roads Bar there is called The Pool House. There are also free pool loungers there as well as reservable ones. The pool, itself, is only 1.2-1.3m deep. It’s a great addition to the park and considering the heat wave we’re experiencing at the moment, it’s very timely.

    I still have a Hi8 camera and DVD recorder, but I’m in WA. Sorry. 😢

    They really seemed to like Gumbuya World. Some famous people in that vlog. 😜

    Caught up with Shawn and Charlotte, today. They seem really down to earth. Adventure World was packed and they weren’t too impressed with the operations (Abyss was only running one train). However, they really enjoyed Abyss and Goliath. They had plenty of positive things to say about a lot of the attractions. However, they overheard that it took some people an hour to get their food. They’re in Perth until tomorrow, when they head off to Malaysia.

    Looks like they (European Coaster Club) made the local news.

    The European Coaster Club is in town. They had ERT on Abyss. The park also organised lockers for them. There were about 75 on the tour. They left the park at 2pm and are now on their way to Melbourne.

    Do you know if they know about AW Nights on the Saturday?

    Really enjoyed Rainbows End. They’re also going to Hobbiton and other places over in NZ.

    It’s a triotech dark ride system similar to the ones they have In shopping centres. They have two films - a ninja one and a Wild West themed one. Spent the day in the park on Friday (during the school holidays). The longest wait was 30 minutes. Stayed in the Proximity Apartments nearby (it was a ten minute walk through the Westfield shopping centre). Got tickets for the twilight session as well (4.30-8.30). The place was deserted. Rode Goldrush 5 times in a row. It’s a cute little park with a mix of quirky theming. The arrow looper is smoother than any other one I have ridden. Managed to get a front row ride. Love the way the mine coaster and the log flume interact with each other. The drop tower has a low capacity, but that didn’t really matter. It’s not that tall, but is quite forceful. They have just redone the log flume’s theming. It’s a bizarre mix of pixies, unicorns and pirates. Went to Crystal Mountain the following day.

    Talk about putting people in a position where they have to defend themselves. https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/7news.com.au/news/wa/perth-anti-vaxxers-charged-after-confronting-schoolchildren-getting-jab-at-joondalup-shopping-centre-c-4624545.amp

    So this isn’t the same looping ship at Sunway Lagoon (that’s been there since 2005)?

    Apparently, Abyss has no weight scales. And yes, they have hired external people to do PR for them in the past. Perhaps, they should give @Slicka call.
  22. iwerks
    Which business said that? I said that - they didn’t. I don’t even know if Abyss has scales. Outback Splash has scales and nobody said a peep. I have no idea why AW got scales - it could be for insurance purposes. You can test yourself before getting in line. There are lights, but no sirens as some people claimed. It’s the same as Outback Splash’s system.

    Does no one understand average weight limit? 600kg divided by 8 = 75kg. It’s not a maximum weight limit. Adventure World is doing fine without worrying about losing a few customers. Their platinum passes have already sold out and the premium passes aren’t too far away. The park was surprisingly busy on its first day of operation despite the fact that the Perth Royal Show sold out that day and it was also the Grand Final. Those weight limits have been around for a couple of years, but not enforced. They have apparently offered season pass refunds to some. The details would have probably been on their website, but we didn’t know about the scales until we saw them.

    Sorry, with all this interest in the park I thought you would have visited it by now. You know how old I am @DaptoFunlandGuy and you know I wouldn’t ride a coaster that would send me to a chiropractor. I think AW needs to do a lot of things atm - retracking Abyss is probably not that high on the list. Hope to see you in the park someday.

    How was your experience on the ride? Was it similar to Buzzsaw? Jet Rescue? Thunderbolt?
