Yes but passes come out late July early Auguest. So when passes become valuable I am sure we will here a lot about MI3.

You get the train. But most manufacturers don't even design there own rides they hire external engineers.

@AlexB I completely agree. When you look at MI-3 it's the second most expensive attraction they have built as it's 500k more than Kraken so as you said they should be screaming it from the roof tops. Hopfully they do this ones season passes go on sale. I really don't get why theme parks in Australia like to keep things a secret till the last second. I mean as soon as constructions starts and it's obvious what the attraction is ts pointless hidding it.

Yeah well by this time with Kraken and Abyss we already had a today tonight story officially announcing the ride and we had teasers signs up at the park in January. But then again this is a flat ride not a big slide or coaster so maybe there is less to announce?

I think the marketing department have been on a holiday. There has been nothing on their Facebook page since May. I don't think it that they dropped the ball more the new staff have a different way of doing things. Keep in mind Season passes are not available yet for this season. However once the season passes go on sale I am sure MI3 will be pushed.

Well dreamworld posted this image. Think it's safe to say dreamworld was full for the Wiggles event.

@Aw hype https://m.facebook.com/creativeworks.com.au i like the location I think it's cool for them to keep the big thrilling scary rides together and the horror themed rides together into a land. Also they now have loads of room at the front of the park for a lazy river in the future. They are removing the archway as it's firberglass and most liekely to avoid it getting damaged during construction. So it wouldn't cost much. @ABYSS Mark did say a while ago that they wouldn't rebuild the castle as it would have to be bigger and better if they did. Now if AW keep doing MI's I believe we will see mi4 be a water attraction as they always go dry then water ride.

Yeah I think it is.

@ABYSS Well creative works one upped you. They posted this photo. Pay attention to the big steel beam on the floor that is orange. Never mind it looks like the cover for the Rampage carriage. Also you can see the Abyss gateway has been moved.

@ABYSS the most updated images were posted in the Mi3 thread.

They didn't even put a Segway in for the DW part. They just had that sentence not relating to the article in anyway shape or form.

@AlexB I did not know how windy it was at SW. Thanks for that.

Yeah I think some major flat rides not little kid flats could do some good down the back. Something that family's can do but thrill seekers would still do. I do think an S&S extreme swing or a Windseekr/star flyer would be good. But I mean there are loads of options they could choose that could be themed to be apart of castaway bay. However something with height will draw people to that end of the park.

@AlexB Windseekers are cable. I forgot about Wind factor but it would provide great views over the spit. However if Cedar Point can have there's operating surely the wind around SW should be fine.

Keep in mind they still have the SV and reclaimed land they could use. But whatever they do they need some more attractions. If you look on their Facebook page they have tones of complaints about no rides at the park. If they could get one approved a windseeker I think would be a good fit for SW. If they could get a 120 meter tower approved. You would be looking around 8 million to get one in Australia.

Um the pole structure has been completed and we can see that it will swing the other way from the Rampage across to black widow. I personally think that the cutting edge feature that will enhance the ride experience is the Lap bars like Loke. As that will really make the ride experience different from most of the other insulations IE claw.

Judging from VRTP history the announcement will be made like 3 months before VR replacements opening. So I would say in 2019.

@Gazza Mark did say it will have a cutting edge feature that will make it different to the other installations. So I am placing my bets on that feature being lap bars like Loke. Plus the Loke clones are bigger than the claw.

Mark actualy said Mi3 was definatly not from Huss when I asked.

@Slick it definatly the Intamin Gyro swing. The footings match the gyro swing only. If you compare this it looks like Loke. Plus Mark confirmed last year that Mi3 was not a Huss ride due to all their problems with Huss they weren't going to work with them.

@iwerks there are defiantly seats on the left. I think its safe to say its defiantly an Intamin Gyro Swing. Now we just need to find out if its lap bars and the theme!

Looks great @iwerks! Mi3 is looking pretty awesome. The Air Con in Abyss would be a very welcomed addition in the hot summer weather. Still intrigued to what the theme is.

Yes but they ran a competition to let the GP decide against the Intamin hyper or Vekoma hyper. Intamin won however the Vekoma hyper was still a good pitch. I said I hope a park builds the Hyper that Vekoma designed for Energilandia's pitch.

I would love to see a park build the Vekoma Hyper coaster that they designed for Energylandia. Vekoma have been making some cool coasters. BSG is a really awesome coaster.

Mi3 is AW's second most expensive addition Abyss being the most at 12 mill and Mi3 is 500k more than Kraken.
