Paradise Country are also holding a spring event with baby farm animals https://paradisecountry.com.au/events/spring-on-the-farm

If this area turns out like the concept art, I’d argue that this is the best expansion the park has ever done. H20 zone was great at the time, but other than rides, it didn’t really other anything else to that area. This expansion offers something for everyone, shade, new bathrooms and potentially even new food outlets

There might be something within the councils website, but Slick worked at the park and got insight into a lot of information like this EDIT I couldn’t help myself and I did some research through the councils website The river is classified as general priority vegetation. To my understanding, that means that it can’t be removed and must be sustained, but through council applications, some works can occur providing they don’t have major impact on the area. Because the Ferris wheel didn’t necessarily take away any land from the river, but rather sits over it, that’s why it was approved.

The installation of H2Oasis will begin this month

Wasn’t that a redevelopment of the paddle wheel station/loading platform?

And fish, birds and probably even frogs

It’s probably because all their shading budget went to the nice fence

Here’s the time stamp for when I took the photos from my last update, just in case you had doubts

This time the source was myself, drove past this morning. 📸 you know it How’d you figure out my secret

The tower has almost doubled in height since my last photos

Almost

Well they had to use all of the colorbond they used to hide river rapids and the log ride somewhere The website still says slides 2 and 3 are temporarily closed. I’d like to think they will be reopen with the park after being closed for some time last summer/early this year

Events like these (and everything else the park) has been doing is great for the park. For years we have been saying the park was lacking events, but over the last couple years they’ve really started to pull through with them. This year we’ve had one every school holidays and this small event too. Well done to them for lifting their game

It was just an ad for the new attraction that came up on Instagram. Here are some screenshots of what is shown (nothing major, just some new angles/renders)

I don’t think we will see it open in September. Rivals went under a months worth of testing before it soft opened. I’d say we could see it open for the Halloween event

It won’t be long before those vultures get removed too. And that will indeed be a very sad day

They they everyone that on all coasters anyways

You’re right about the work on the lift hill. When I was there watching it undergo testing, they were testing the train safety systems of it stopping at the top of the lift hill and roll backs. After one run, it stopped on the final brakes for some time. I don’t have pictures, but I don’t think they’ve updated that one? Unless I haven’t noticed

@Slick I think it will definitely stand out because even at this height, it can already be seen from the highway

Visited DW today for one final ride on the BuzzSaw. Not busy at all. No real queue. It just shows, even with its announced closure, people aren’t too bothered to get their final ride in (when compared to TOT for example)

Does the park do re-entry? Could you go to your car, eat food that you brought and then re-enter? That’s always a way to make the day cheaper

@GoGoBoy id disagree. The new sign is awful compared to what was there. I’d say it’s as bad as the change Scooby’s signage was. The only one that is passable is WWF

On my visit to MW yesterday there was nothing to say that the park would close early. And the Roxy Theatre had closed for the day when I walked past it at 2:15
