AUSTHEMEPARKS

^A gertsleuer would fit their profit just about right if they don't add theming.

^They look like rafts where you find in large campgrounds and smaller family parks.

The Great Escape has the weirdest rafts I've seen.

For some reason I like the old version of Skull Rock a bit more. It looks a bit more realistic to me.

My first trip to Heide Park because it was the first overseas park I've ever been to!

Rainbow's End looks like a great park. I think I heard from someone that it's smaller than luna park sydney. Is this true?

I have no idea but I don't think it's intentional.

It appears that a Huss Frisbee Knock off had an accident and one part of the ride was snapped into two pieces. This resulted in 19 people being thrown of the ride. http://www.fireinews.com/news-9578136.html Pictures of Accident: http://www.hilizi.com/index.php?id=73711&catid=18&c=api&a=mobile_show&m=content&from=groupmessage&isappinstalled=1

+ that waterfall barely gets you wet. Also there are always teenagers pushing everyone out of their tubes and blocking the waterfall.

I find Osiris to be one of the most dissapointing B&M inverts.

The small hills actually provide some decent airtime at the back. Has anyone been on Ghost train since it was closed when I went....

It seems like power surge is always closed but no one ever tries to fix it.

How Tall are you?

Sorry about the quoting. Will stop from now on.

They receive 800,000 a year which is mindblowing but the only reason I can think of is because it's the only park Melburne has.

Isn't the park usually almost empty?

An Inverted Spinning coaster with 14 inversions and is themed to Kevin Bacon?

But the Black Mamba..........

I went in not expecting much from this place. I went in to find horrible operations and rides closed ( power surge and ghost train) The park is smaller than the Luna Park in Sydney and not as charming. The price is too steep and should have been under $35. The ride attendants are very generic too. Some of the rides are decent though like the Twin Dragon and Enterprise. The Scenic Railway is very rough but somehow still liked it. Anyway on to the ride reviews. Scenic Railway- Very rough but still very fun. Only 1 train so I had to wait 20 minute+ every time. The problem is that they had two trains and they just switched them around once during the day.( red to green) Also it has some nice airtime on the smaller hills and that was my favourite part of the ride. Pharoah's Curse- I was surprised that there was a bit of theming. As for the ride itself, it's painful. The restraints are so tight that when you are upside-down, you push down on the lap bar and pain is produced. Twin Dragon- My favourite ride in the park as it was smooth and even a bit forceful. Nothing bad to say about the ride apart from being a bit loud when the ride is stopping. Spider- An ok family ride with signage!!!!! The main problem about the Spider is that you barely spin at all and it becomes a bit boring. I like the way they open the carriages though. Enterprise- Another ride with bad operations. The ride is very fun though and pleasant. There isn't much force though but it's mostly smooth. Sky Rider- A ferris wheel that never stops. There are some nice views of the beaches in St Kilda though. Overall I would give Luna Park Melbourne a 4/10. It's just missing so much and awful operations set it back. They need to really improve and they should start with the operations. Photos coming in a few days.

Fasanolandia (Italy) has a great mix of animal exhibits and rides.

Why couldn't they just make some waterfalls on it that's in the center. The one waterfall they have is on the side so you might even miss it.

I'm curious to know what are your favourite types of amusement parks. Example: A park built on a hillside, traditional amusement park, heavily themed park, etc. Mine has got to be parks like Knoebels. It just has such a great atmosphere.

Personally, I wouldn't be too excited if it was a bowl ride but Funfields has a pretty good version.

Finally I get to visit Aussie World in July for the first time! I love how Aussie World always adds something new every 1-2 years. For a small park like that, it's awesome!
