Awesome find!! I would love to hear the full version sometime!! Sorry cannot shed any further useful information on the recording or anything about it, but you have already done the first logical step and that is contact the park. Maybe they can help you out further or point you to someone who can?? It is however, an artifact of extreme historical significance and I hope your search for answers is not in vain!! Good luck!!

Very nice!! Thanks for this GoGoBoy!!

How about Grundy's and the Grundy's water slides??? The Timezone there now just doesn't cut it.....

Or double post to make a point....... Sorry Gazza..couldnt resist!!

There simply is not enough information to go on at the moment to say either way- it could be a ride, an exhibit, a new 4d attraction a themed walkthrough.....all I know is that I think its very clever of Seaworld to release this teaser so early. Our speculation from this early on will build the buzz for what ever is finally going to appear in 2014. All from one image. Great marketing I say!!

Hehe..not really. Also why like the comment and then state its a bit harsh?? Double standards much?? But moving on, as has been correctly pointed out $10 million is a MAJOR investment. This would put it in the ball park for the asking price for a decent coaster. However, that enough alone is not conclusive enough to state that with any certainity. Can any one come up with other possible options for the $10 million OTHER than a coaster?

Ok. But to be fair to Dreamworld, they did maintain Eureka for over 20 years. Whilst I certainly do not put it in the same calibre as Scooby or Bermuda, it certainly qualified as a decent dark ride attraction, which is certainly exemplified by the lamentation at its loss. I think Dreamworld COULD do a decent dark ride if the will was there but I certainly can see where you are coming from when you say "the more basic the better", especially in the way they have maintained some of the theming in their attractions over the recent years. Lets hope Dreamworld can surprise us in the future. Ah..ok thanks for that Reanimated. I was interested to know the extent that the mountain could be re-used. Obviously a new attraction in this position would be completely different and the entire mountain structure would have to be changed but its interesting to know what COULD be re-used and why it couldnt. Cheers.

Not at all.This is not the first time I have agreed with a comment coming from RWC,it is however, a rarity. It does prove though, that I value balanced ,well thought out and logical posts that stem from the realms of reality and truthfulness. If RWC could stick to this formula more often, he would not recieve the flak he does nor would he have the reputation he currently has. RWC CAN make some great points and can offer up som great insights into whatever topic at hand. I do not have a vendetta against him in the slightest nor do I wish to pursue one, but if utter crap is presented from anyone, then like most on this board, I will certainly question it!! I do not think that is unreasonable.... Now back to topic on hand........Joz do you feel that the entire mountain structure for Eureka must be removed or do you think that it could be recycled or reused in some way. I am only asking because you mentioned its flammability as an issue....has this been highlighted before?

Yeah agree RWC!! The Dreamworld cinema is absolutely ripe for 4D conversion!! This would be a great asset to Dreamworlds current ride line up. The current building could be utilized for this , making this area of the park once again a destination and it would also be useful as a crowd soaker, something sorely missing from DW since the closure of the original IMAX and now the paddle steamer. Couple this with a new mine themed semi dark coaster( a MS spinner or even a Gerslauter one perhaps as Joz suggested) would invigorate the Goldrush area quite nicely!! Make it happen Dreamworld!!

Sorry Gazza have been offline for a couple of days due to work. Whirlwind has nothing to do with anything remotely medieval, its just RWC putting his own spin ( pun intended here ) as usual in his posts. In case you havent found the links here they are. http://www.ukrides.i...&st=0&sk=t&sd=a http://www.coasterfo...=35133&p=833419 It's interesting to note that this rumour, as exciting as it is, has been supposedly sourced from info obtained from the the maintenance engineer from Camelot. Its a little shaky especially as RWC's line of questioning revealed that there was no park name attached to this info. If it occurs, I will be happy, but I am unsure as to the veracity of its integrity at this stage. I must admit, RWC's line of questioning to LPM and the answer given,whilst very vague,was in my mind, a little promising. If this coaster WAS to come to Australia, I feel LPM would be the best bet for its destination. Its footprint would be ideal for the size available. As the pic shows, apparently Whirlwind is not in THAT great material condition. If it was to come here to Australia, it would need a good refit. I would be happy for a park here to gain this ride- they DO look like fun and it would be an Australian first!! LPM is a great fit but I would really rather see it find a home in LPS ( wishful thinking I know, but at least I could ride it regularly there!! ) However, if it was reported that an Australian park had bought Camelot's Knightmare coaster, then THAT would be great news indeed......would love to ride that Schwarzkopf goodness....

Hehe...looks like a LOT of fun. Would be great if this was the basis for Seaworld's new 2014 attraction!!! It would be an excellent addition to any park.!!!

This is interesting news. On Coasterforce and UKRides it has been reported that the Maurer Sohne Spinning coaster Whirlwind from the defunct park Camelot has been sold to a park in Australia. Whirlwind was the prototype for this model of ride and before finding a home at Camelot did the travelling circuit in Germany. Apparently it's material condition is not great and it will need some work. IF this is true, the only 2 parks in Australia that have hinted at getting a new major ride this year are LPM and Adventure World. I wouldn't rule out Aussie World as a possible destination as well. Either way, this is an exciting rumour, and one that I hope bears fruition. I am dead keen to ride a Maurer Sohne spinner and have long advocated one of our parks gaining one. Fingers crossed!!

Thanks jjutp!! Apologies I didn't think this was such a difficult concept to follow. Maybe I need to be clearer in my postings....or a trifle more blunt perhaps?? Oh well...Lol!!

Yes that's him!!! The spelling Nazi........

No argument Reanimated. I believe I had stated all that needed to be said. There is no need to protract anything any further. As you have rightly pointed out, we have all been through this sort of thing before. But it's funny that there is one common denominater to all those threads right? And yes fingers crossed that this new ride DOES live up to Bermuda's mighty legacy.

That's obvious RWC. That's why I stated "may". But let's wait and see the finished product which WAS the point of the above post.

Yeah that's true but before you pass judgement lets wait and see the finished final product and in what shape and form the water coaster takes. It may certainly be a case of Bermuda what???

Certainly, it was scrapped as it was considered past its use by date. Apparently it was in pretty bad material shape by the end. It was second hand when it went in to LPS in 1982 as Geronimo. It was heavily modified when it went to Adventure World in 1989. The electric spiral lift hill was removed and a conventional lift hill was installed in its place. I am a little peeved that I never got to ride it, however in my family, my father has this dubious honour. It is a shame in a way, as it was Australia's last surviving Schwarzkopf coaster. The Huss Freefall tower now occupies the space where Turbo Mountain once stood. The last pic is from RCDB and shows where in LPS it stood and the original electric spiral lift hill.

I agree GoGoboy. I know it's a trivial thing but I too cannot for the life of me understand how a park as professional as Movieworld cannot get the names of TWO of their rides correct as originally presented!! It just seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at times!! As I said, trivial but slightly annoying!!

Agreed. Adventure World need a new coaster to put it firmly on the theme park map. Their current ride line up is quite good and a coaster will only enhance the parks reputation as a destination. If they get a decent coaster I would seriously think about making the trip over to finally visit. The hints the park has been teasing us with seems to indicate something impressive so fingers crossed!! However RWC I would NOT classify Turbo Mountain as a "mid sized " coaster.

Purely speculation of course but it may not even be a ride!! Has anyone considered that it could be a 4D movie attraction themed to a river cruise or similar?? The current theatre "could" be renovated to accommodate for this.

As with most of the discussions that degenerate into this type of garbage, there is one common denominator to them ALL............................. [ Please oh please AlexB do it again.....

Don't be confused Gazza. It is really true. Mack are refurbishing both rides so that they use the ONE pumping system, even though both rides are a significant distance from each other. You have to trust me on this. Its completely true. I cannot remember my exact source but I think it was my cousin's best friend's girlfriends sister's boyfriend who told me on Facebook. I also saw a sign on Thunder Rapids that pointed towards Log Ride that said" Water this way." So you see its completely kosher...I KNOW!! I do not make things up!! My sources are impeccable!! Completely reliable!! Besides..I will never admit I am wrong....I am completely sure of my own guesswork!! and so should you!!! Whatever you do...don't listen to the Dippin Dots guy..he has not got a clue!!!!

Not really...it's a bit of a mystery as to what this is really pertaining to..... We can all speculate to the cows come home but really we don't have a clue!! It's actually fairly clever marketing in the way it's been done- drip feeding very small amounts of info without letting the cat out of the bag, and so far out from its projected opening date. Does anyone think that it could relate to the water coaster somehow?? Maybe the indoor section? Food for thought!

Absolutely the comment of the week......brilliant!!!!
