I would TBH. If you get a Village 3-day pass you can go to MW, WnW and SW. Even if it is raining you could substitute WnW for another day at MW etc. as they have all their rides open (except the carousel) and Roxy Theater/Scooby are inside. However I think they only close the rides if there is storms etc.

Giant Drop maintenance has been extended until March 31 2023. It will mean it will be closed for around 340 days.

Gumbuya World 2 coasters under construction
TBoy replied to DaptoFunlandGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Yes we will. Personally, I hope they renovate the other rides entrances to make three entrances like PZ/TNT. RE: The other 5 rides, this is what I would like to see in the next 10 years: New slide tower for Oasis Springs. This would include a Tornado 60, BehemothBowl 60, Hydromagnetic Rocket and 2 Superloops. All 5 slides would be made by ProSlide and put next to the wave pool. Opens in 2023 or 2024. A new resort for Gippsland visitors. It would be located where the rose farm next to Gumbuya World currently is, and would feature 1 pool, a spa, tennis court and games room as well as 3 storeys of hotel rooms. A free day to Gumbuya World would be included with the hotel cost. Opens in 2024 or 2025. New expansions to Oz Adventure and Outback Explorers. Outback Explorers would get a plane ride and carousel (cheap rides) as well as a Intamin or SBF droptower. Opens in 2027 or 2028. What do you think? -
Mad Jungle Jam's maintenance period will now be 30 Jan to 31 March. VERY interesting.

Gumbuya World 2 coasters under construction
TBoy replied to DaptoFunlandGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Looks good @Luke! It seems that there will be picnic tables around TNT where people can watch the coaster while eating lunch etc. Is there a separate line for Express Q Luke? I do agree that Abyss and Big Dipper are better than Project Zero, but because Adventure World only has two coasters Gumbuya World would have to beat it, however for me LPS beats Gumbuya. Basically ranking all non-GC parks in Australia by coasters: Luna Park Sydney Gumbuya World Adventure World Luna Park Melbourne Magic Mountain Adventure Park -
That would be a good idea. Whatever they do, Dreamworld need to make Motocoaster fit in the area. If nothing changes it will stick out like a sore thumb.
-
Yes, it is strange. And the rides closing are EFM, PIBSS, SOGR, GG and PN, all in the Dreamworks area. I feel like the maintenance will be extended and the rides repainted in two stages.

Features some POV footage of TNT. IMO Luna Park Sydney and Gumbuya World have the best coasters outside-GC. -
With Motocoaster, they could do these: Retheme to go with the Rivertown area Remove the ride/add another ride there Remove the ride/add the remote control boats Remove the ride and leave the land empty Leave it how it is I hope 1 or 2 happens (with it sold to a smaller park if 2 happens) but I feel like it will be 4 or 5.

Funfields - New 2020 Tornado Waterslide
TBoy replied to melbourne_guy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
IIRC Boomerango, Taipan and the kids playground was from White Water West, while Red Belly Racer and Tiger Snake Tango was from Proslide. I would love a slide tower either next to the wave pool or behind Project Zero with these: Tornado 60 BehemonthBowl 60 HydroMagnetic Rocket Superloop IMO if they added these it would make the Oasis Springs area on par with White Water World. Yes, they may have a few less slides but they have a lazy river, surfing area and heated rock pool that makes up for it. -
Funfields - New 2020 Tornado Waterslide
TBoy replied to melbourne_guy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Now White Water World, Wet N Wild, Raging Waters, Funfields, Adventure Park and Adventure World all have Tornadoes, in other words all major water parks except Gumbuya World. I feel like the latter will most likely follow suit in its next Oasis Springs expansion. -
Funfields - New 2020 Tornado Waterslide

According to Funfields Facebook, Supernova will open on 26 December, 3 days after the new coasters at Gumbuya World. -
Dreamworld - Kenny & Belinda's Dreamland Updates
TBoy replied to Ogre's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Yes it was. Greg is finally starting to turn Dreamworld around after years of neglect. The new additions will finally make up for all the rides lost in the past 10 years. -
Gumbuya World 2 coasters under construction
TBoy replied to DaptoFunlandGuy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
It looks like there is two entrances for TNT: The one on the left is the normal queue line for people without Express Q The one in the middle is for Express Q members The one on the right is the exit As for Project Zero: The left netted pathway is the exit The middle entrance path is for Express Q The one on the right is for normal queue line Wonder if the other rides will get a change to fit in with TNT/PZ? -
Yes the journos hate theme parks. If they had there way (especially Seven) all the parks would be shut forever.

Dreamworld - Kenny & Belinda's Dreamland Updates
TBoy replied to Ogre's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I am thinking they could do it during the annual maintenance period - say EFM goes down in April, the refurb to KFF is done then and opened in May or June. Same could happen with OGR and DF to BIP and BRP respectively, and GG and PIB (however they were not shown during the announcements and the new rides need space so will probably be retired). Pandanonium would be a problem however. -
Dreamworld - Kenny & Belinda's Dreamland Updates
TBoy replied to Ogre's topic in Theme Park Discussion
@themagician will all the rides go down at once or in stages, etc. EFM closes and is redone, then Pandanonium, then Shrek/Dronkeys is done. Also do you know what rides will be going? -
Wet n Wild SurfRider taken off website
TBoy replied to Natti_amusements's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Funfields - Would be good as they don't have a coaster currently Aussie World - Would be great, but I doubt it would fit in the park Gumbuya World - Would be seen as insuperior to TNT and PZ, I would rather them spend it on waterslides as they have enough coasters for now- 406 replies

Maybe if they have a new slide tower behind Project Zero/The Break it could be installed? However most likely it would be brand new slides from either ProSlide/White Water West (funnel etc.)

Funfields - New 2020 Tornado Waterslide
TBoy replied to melbourne_guy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I DO know the Disney/Fox buyout, I just forgot it at that moment. And I could realistically see the new Funfields slide open on the same day/week as the Gumbuya World coasters. I am not "trolling" I could see it happen. -
Funfields - New 2020 Tornado Waterslide
TBoy replied to melbourne_guy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
To take away everyone going to Gumbuya World and getting people to go to Funfields instead to ride the new slide. -
Funfields - New 2020 Tornado Waterslide
TBoy replied to melbourne_guy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Dec 23? (Funfields would try to put it on the same day as the new coasters at Gumbuya) -
Dreamworld - Kenny & Belinda's Dreamland Updates
TBoy replied to Ogre's topic in Theme Park Discussion
IMO I feel like at this rate we will see the rebranded kids area open by June 2023, with the ABC Kids attractions retired or sold off, for example Play School Wheel could go to Gumbuya World and some of the others given to smaller parks. Dreamworld Flier/Extended Ocean Parade will probably open Dec 2023 and the Rivertown open December 2024. -
Yes but the boats could get stuck at the chainlift and the boats from behind all bump into them. May not be as bad as TRRR but all the boats (or at least 2 or 3) would get stuck leaving around 25 people trapped.

IMO If the water levels are lower than normal, DO NOT open the ride. We know what happened with TRRR at DW.
