Tree Top Crazy Rider
There's only one tree top crazy rider "coaster" and its near Wyong. The one at Yarramundi is just a conventional ropes course/cable flying fox park.

Small Fire At Disneyland, CA
While you are there are you going to head to the parks just over the Border? Happy Valley, Chimelong Paradise, Ocean Kingdom and Knight Valley are all within 100km of HK and acessible via trains or Ferries...Chance to try a Wing Coaster, Dive Coaster, Vekoma Motorbike, S&S air launcher....

Adventure World 2015 - 'Mi2' Kraken Tornado slide
I do like the sea monster theme portrayed...Would be great if the adjacent slides got a bit of paint and some small thematic interventions (As was done with rampage and redback) to tie them all together. Then Adventure World would really be on the way to having several distinct themed lands.

Eureka Mountain Mine Ride reopening discussion
Exactly. Besides, why would they do something to "mess with people" if they had no intention of reopening the ride? That just leads to eventual disappointment by the public, and seems counter productive....When parks have SBNO attractions they tend to hide them from view, erase them from park maps etc so they aren't front and center in the minds of the public and more easily "forgotten".

Tree Top Crazy Rider
http://www.treetopcrazyrider.com.au/gallery On the Central Coast of NSW a pair of steel rail flying foxes that are suspended from trees have opened. Unlike most flying foxes you don't run along a cable, rather a rail that can do helixes and turns. One track is the worlds longest at 1km, the other 330m, prices start at $35 for the short one, $75 for the long one and $99 for both...Anyone planning on trying it out?

Besides, if there was asbestos in the mountain there would be signage warning of the presence of it at the building entrances.

Eureka Mountain Mine Ride reopening discussion
It was a wild mouse basically with the expected sequence of turns (lift hill, zig zag, turn, drop, turn, drop, brakes). The first few turns had you passing rock alcoves with theming in them (Similar to the tunnel on Thunder River) First one had a miner with a stick of dynamite. Next couple had spinning cogs and mining machines from memory.

Eureka Mountain Mine Ride reopening discussion
I'd hope that the structure and track of the ride would be in pretty good nick..It's been out of the weather (And even the outdoor bits could be fixed with a long crane. Ditto, swapping out brakes and so forth shouldn't be too much of a problem. Plenty of coasters have that done and there are companies that specialise in it. The deteriorating mountain is probably the hardest part to deal with.
