Canada's Wonderland is getting a new Dive Coaster for 2019. KennyWood's Steel Curtain Coaster Dollywood's New family area with a new Vekoma Suspended family Coaster. Will be interesting to see how the Carowinds Mack Launch coaster goes or what else is announced over the next few weeks.

So creative works over the last month have posted some images on Instagram. Seems like a lot of general presentation works are happening around the park. Considering they spent 9 million dollars last year. Makes sense for them to save there pennies. Worth noting I went passed Adventure World today. Nothing major happening. Although a few minor points: - looks like some new shade added to the top half of the hill and all the way through to the Kraken queue line. - Work happening on the rail rider and Kahuna falls.

You mean Dreamworld is advertising a closed attraction? Hey I see you Buzzsaw 👀

If you look at the plan, the facade, First Aid and so on are coming down due to Asbestos. Hopfully they get replaced with something nice.

Any of these dozens of rides closed actually have any workers working on them during the day. Surely you would do everything possible to have minimal rides closed at all times. But is that just me?

I think it also comes down to showmen not making much money these days. So many rides for sale at the moment. Like Sky Walker, Ranger, Space Roller, Nitro and Avengers.

So I did some looking online and it seems that FF has registered for a building permit to build a Wave Pool and associated building. Its great to see the park investing in another attraction of 2 million a year after building 2 new rides.

Ok so I finally got around to editing the footage I got while at Adventure World earlier in the year. It's not the best on ride footage but deceant from a go pro.

Nah didn't you hear Abyss, Kraken and Goliath are trailer mounted and are off to a new fair this week. Considering AW is a fun fair. 😜

I know at Adventure World all ride oops and team never do rubbish duties after the park closes. Once all rides are shut down and guests are leaving, they pick up rubbish across the park, car park and boundary roads.

Going with Australian rides: 1. Go Karts - AW 2. Wipeout 3. Inferno 4. AA 5. HWSW .....

As someone who works in the fast food industry, this is very important for most customers. The amount of complaints from customers if you don't greet them instantly and friendly, is mind boggling.

What annoys me the most is that is not in any way a roller coaster.

Not that many care but Abyss has always had a restriction on being over 8 years old to rides Abyss.

I would say they look pretty real.

Do keep in mind creative works put up and made fake spider webs.

I did notice that last time I went, next time I go I shall see if it's been fixed properly. It seemed like it had just snapped off and was a temporary fix. Hopfully it's better now.

Do keep in mind VR are providing studios for the games, yes the government did pitch in some coin for them. But I would have thought they could have made a deal with the leasing of those studios and advertisement.

I would have thought VRTP would have made a deal with the sound stages to get their names used. But seems like either to much money or not worth it.

I would say it's better timing now. The coverage is a lot less than it would be as the media are already full with the Games stuff to notice it.

I think the more unbelievable part is picking Joondaulup for the location. There is no room in Joondalup for a Disney land to even be considered.

But The Beast isint a Gyro Swing, it's a KMG XXL, Gyro Swing being a model type. Only Intamin call there Pendulem rides Gyro Swings.
