Just had a look at the Rainfortress, not conviced thats it but. It looks very much like a kids water play area with the whole tipping bucket thing. But they already have quite a developed kids water play area inc a tipping bucket which has just opened recently. (http://www.adventureworld.net.au/rides-and-attractions/for-young-adventurers/kids-splash-zone-now-open.aspx) I would guess its been in the works for a while, since they removed the roller coaster a couple of years ago and brought in the freefall. They've done quite a bit of work around the site putting in new power sub station and a couple of new buildings. Looking forward to something new either way...

I was there last Saturday and went for a spin on it. As has already been said its nothing compared to the giant drop, or the batwing spaceshot. It looks alot faster than it actually is when you get on it, tho the first rise was kind of unexpected. As already said its literally a trailer based ride, setup as such. It does however look like its only temporarily setup this way but. There's a fair amount of clearing/construction going on around it, so i would say its just been setup asap so riders can enjoy it this season. Hopefully, being how small the foot print of the ride is vs how large the area is they might add something else. btw yes it is the Goetzke ride, it has that written all over the bottom of it.

Nope no real description, you can barely see anything. It looked like roller coaster track, similar to the old turbo mountain tracks. Can't see any sign of a tower of any sorts in the park, and it's due to open this weekend. I guess they didn't proceed with it, or they've managed to hide it pretty well. Checking there site i see that everything seams to have been updated to show turbo mountain is no longer there, but theres nothing in its place. In previous years when they've put in the Rampage and Power Surge the maps usually weren't updated till after they opened.

Have been watching everytime i've been past Adventure World. Looks like something new is going in at the top. I can see a few blue rails near the top of the mountain. Anyone got any idea what's happening?
