@XxMrYoshixX A few good points you made. Ever since Steve Stirich brought the park in the early 2000s they have built new ride after new ride. (Keep in mind a large chunk of the team was there before Mark joined including Andrew) From 2000 we got Rampage and in 2002 we got Power Surge. Then in 2003 we got kids cove phase one and phase 2 in 2004. In 2006 we got the Aqua racer followed by shotgun in 2008. Then it goes to your list above. You need to remember the decision to spend money comes from the board which the owners are on and its not just the CEO's choice. Adventure World is a different park from others judging by my talks at the Park with Ross (The GM) He said the parks strategy is long term and fluid. From rumours I have heard that MI-4 is still coming in 2019. I personally believe that will be in the form of a lazy river and then hopefully in 2021 a nice family coaster for MI-5. Keep in mind there is a lot of room at the front of the park now. Its pretty doubtful the park will ever go the way of second hand attraction due to whats happened with Inferno. (I have been stuck on that ride 2 times in a month )

The video was removed from the internet. But they climbed through the slides and walked on top of the slides. They also climbed the Jungle mountain and the ropes course. To sum up they did stupid stuff that if the had of fallen they would have died very easily.

So I did some searching and found the new TVC for Goliath!

Here is the add from 1995 about the slides.

Not sure. I personally have never been on them. But I watched them repaint the slides. They are still green on the inside.

Maintenance is not done by construction companies but rather their maintenance team. Which a park always needs to have there when the park is operating. However just because you can't see someone working on the ride doesn't mean nothing is happening.

They never replaced the slides they simply repainted them blue form the original green. I found a video of the slides from 1995. I haven't been able to find when they opened but they have been there at least 22 years since 1995.

From the video that was on YouTube from a guy who did an Andrew H I would say they are not being looked after at all and will likely be scrapped.

To add to that a few days ago at AW's Fright Nights. I was on the inferno when we were halfway through the ride cycle just finishing the second shot and we heard a bang. What happened was the rides breaks deployed to early so a sensor tripped and shut the ride down. So we had to wait for maintenance to come and re start the ride. Probs a max of 10 minutes. Nothing bad the ride re opened shortly after.

Would anyone be able to post and update of Adventure World with Goliath from Near Map?

So with Fright Nights Starting Tonight Adventure World have posted some pictures. So these are off the outdoor cinema showing 80s horror films. The screen. The Goliath Skull lit up. They also did a live video showing off the cool lighting for Goliath. Not sure what they have used but the lighting on the support structure that chases up and down looks very cool. Its good to see them expanding the event and making 2 separate events one for the families and one for the older generation. Should be a fun night and AW said on their Facebook page that tickets are selling fast and there are not many left. Update: a few more photos have been posted from the 18+ graveyard bar. hopfully the weather stays good. Not looking the best.

Goliath has re opened today.

I think this is one awesome peicr of theme park footage!

I thought I would take the time to do a nice little photo update with some high quality images. So Along with Goliath, Rampage has received a complete re paint, and the queue has been painted, the trailer mounted food store next to Kahuna Falls has been renovated to look permeant. Another food outlet has been placed on the new lawn space and the Dominos to Go has been removed and the old cafe extended. Below Zero has also been renamed and now offers some goliath themed foods. Abyss giving rides a fun ride! Goliath and its new seating area. Rampage has returned to a wood grain queue line. Goliath! The scratch marks on Rampage. Abyss and Goliath meet. Nice new intamin lap bars. The power/electronic room for Goliath. The Bermuda triangle of thrills.

Just going to leave this. MELB to SIN is 8 hours and a further bus trip up to KL or another 10 minute longer flight. Keep in mind Australia is not just Queensland. From Perth it is cheaper to fly to Singapore then to fly interstate to the east coast.

The Sea World eye I believe was the wheel that was sent to Perth and constructed on our foreshow in the city. Later on it was removed and placed into storage to make way for the Elizabeth Quay construction and after being in storage for a few years the city of Fremantle (in Perth) brought it and installed it in the town centre.

There will 100% be no new ride next season. The way they have operated is a new ride every 2 years for a long long time. Dating back to 2000. However we will have to wait and see if we get MI4 in 2019 and MI5 in 2021.

On the past weekend I have seen 2 people vomit on Goliath and each time they closed the ride to wash it and then they did one cycle to air it out.

@Brad2912 school holidays. So lists of people are still away on holidays.

A new trailer video has been posted. https://m.youtube.com/?reload=7&rdm=2thq0g1k0#/watch?v=e9IsxH6Fc38 some more information has been uploaded.

A lot of the country are still on holidays for another week. So I would say it would still be busy.

@Theme Park I believe Mark Shaw was a consultant for the project. So I would not doubt his negotiating skills. But its very possible. Depending on how big the hotel is, and how many rides.

So AW's facebook page has been updated with the following information posted about their annual Halloween event called Fright Nights. Interesting to note that this year will feature 2 events. A family friendly event on the Sunday and 2 Nights of for the 12+ group. So this year they will also have old scary moves playing in the chill out zone. Should be a fun night and looking forward to it.

Ok So I will post pictures later. But here is a few points I want to mention. The Park was more busy today then last week. But still very empty. Longest wait was 1 or so cycles. Inferno and Goliath were operating with near full cycles every go. Goliath seems to be the most popular attraction at the moment. Goliath got Christened a few times by some people with weak stomachs. While on Inferno (with @ABYSS) the ride restraints locked but didn't register on the ride. So we had to wait 10 minutes for maintenance to come and re set the ride before going on the ride. Ran into Ross (senior staff member) and spoke to him about Goliath and the parks future. He seems positive that the ride will do well when the weather warms up. He said he will try and get Andrew Sherry (CEO) to sign up on parkz. If you are there Andrew please sign up. (We are friendly. Well most off us.) I have reached 22 rides on Goliath, Abyss back row is smother than the front row.

I did, at the show now but I will post some photos and review of some interesting things to happen today when I get home.
