@AlexB we had to beat the coverage that was done for DD.

I would say yes. Traveling rides can come from the same manufactures as theme park rides. IE Mondial, Zamperla, Gersluar even KMG have theme park rides. So there would be set protocols for mantanience that is set by the manufactures that apply to both permeant and traveling versions with some differences due to design differences in the versions.

@ABYSS that is a work truck in the background. Not theming.

@ABYSS I would say attached but due to the wet and wild weather we have had lately I would say its more protection.

@djrappa I understand your point but this is America. They might have different rules and laws governing maintenance. Australia has very high standards and often requires extra stuff. But no doubt regular NDT intervals should be required on all rides in every country especially on high stress areas.

Doubt 2 trains will ever be running through the course at once since there is no MCBR. So most likely one loads while one is in the course.

They won't be split up as they share the same supports.

It's safe to say they will be scraped just like the original Hulk Ride. Which according to US was "beyond salvageable." Plus relocating a 19 year old ride to Australia from the other side of the world does not make much business sense.

Well they do say the best way to control a risk is to eliminate it.

So that answers one question.

This seems like a VRTP thing.

The dive loop is what follows the main drop. The dive loop is the inversion after the main drop.

So @Mark Shaw who comes up with the ideas for the themes? The park or Atomiq? Thanks for answering my question earlier also.

@grrofunger thanks for that, much appreciated. Enjoy your travels.

Yeah their theming they make is very high quality. They don't miss the little details. I believe from what I have read that AW hired Themed Builders as a themed architect consultant who help design and then they build the theming. Then the great people at Creative Works paint it all onsite.

All their theming is made by a company called themed builders. http://themebuilders.net/portfolio_page/adventure-world/ AW has really stepped up the quality of the park and themed most areas. I think this ride will be no exception.

@grrofunger do you still have access to RP data and can tell us if AW own more land since 2015? (when you posted that lovely map for us) I was reading this article and its amazing to think how much AW has grown since 2011. This article being about their 3 million dollar gamble in 2011 know as Kahuna Falls. Just to think 2 years later they spent 12 million on Abyss. http://www.perthnow.com.au/business/adventure-worlds-3m-gamble/news-story/fec0b3222111074cb261442845399d41 AW just posted this on Facebook.

^ Or lap bars.

Yup there is also government land back there which I believe they want to try and get as their land surrounds it. Plus behind the main car park there are 3 lots I don't know if AW owns any of them.

They own a lrage parcel of land to the left or the park. The park has been recently buying more lots of the recent years.

@djrappa yeah and well AW is working with Intamin now so I don't see why they won't consider working with them agian. However I don't see Inferno lasting much more than a a few more seasons as it was brought second hand and was a prototype.

Nah they won't go with Huss again so maybe one from Intamin or S&S. 😝 You know one that is actualy reliable.

Has construction started on Vodoo yet?

The MI name tag is more of an advertising line. Maximum Impact attraction. They have advertised this ride as MI-3 nobody know the name yet. So they always refer to it as the code name.

@themagician I would say yes. It would be very good for capcity soaking as they can hold a big chunk of people and with AWS theming standards could be very well themed and AW have stated they want more capcity soaking rides. But personally I would think a lazy river would cost a few mill. So they could do it in a non major capital year. Keep in they also spent 1.5 million this year on a high voltage power ring, last season 1.5mill on a new car park and Mark said they will be expanding the car park agian soon and that means offices and maintenance areas need moving. But in a few years when they have less infunstructer cost they could do it then.
