No, Giant inverted boomerangs.

Yeah, i think Id believe in an offical aprk press release rather than the email response from some staff member who the news hasnt trickled down to yet.

No he didnt, He said that demon has a boomerang, which he has never seen on a non vekoma coaster, in other words, he has only seen boomerangs on vekomas. But anyway Steve, if you insist you are right, here are some vekomas that arent Boomerangs, which have the boomerang (cobra roll) element: Shenlin Face/Off HangOver Invertigo Stunt Fall Deja Vu Unknown -flamingoland Unkown -OCT Bejing

Dude, stories like that exist everywhere, and none of them are true, like someone said to me that on LW someomes leg got broken because it hit a support, there just stories people make up to scare others.

Coasters with boomerangs that arent Vekoma(AKA Cobra roll, batwing): Alpengeist Avalancha Hydra the Revenge Incredible Hulk Jokers Jinx Kraken Kumba Silver Bullet Mad cobra Monte Makaya Orochi Poltergeist Pyrenees Sceam! Medusa Colossus Dominator Drachen Fire Dragon Kahn Dueling Dragons (ice) Flight of fear Tornado Superman: la Atracción de Acero Wildfire Batman and Robin, the chiller Just to name a few

but still, that only leaves us the eqivalent of $9.1 million USD, can they really shave 3 or so million off compared to its US counterparts?

"Superman: the ride". Check rcdb.

Rabid, storm runner cost $12.5 million USD but in this press release our ride is going to cost $12 million AUD so doesnt that mean that our ride wouldnt be as big? RCDB says that the ride is being named "Superman: the ride". I think it was named by the same person who named "Batman: the ride" and "Lethal weapon: the ride". See for yourself: http://www.rcdb.com/id2999.htm

Steve, thats the dumbest thing i have heard in a while, japan has TONS of waterparks, they even had the largest single waterslide structure (50 slides) till it was destroyed in an earthquake. They also have the worlds largest indoor waterpark, so they probably do like the "feeling" of water.

I think its possible, Accelerators are selling quick, so the price should drop, also, steel ect is cheaper here so that can reduce the cost a bit. I think we will get an average sized coaster, no higher than 50m. I cant imagine much themeing, it will probably be over a field of gravel like LW, with some average themeing around the station, i mean, just how can you theme a superman ride? Kanonen at Liesberg is being built at a cost of 50,000,000 SEK, this is equivalent to 9,699,175 AUD, i think around 2.3 million dollars to spend more and the fact that Aussie steel is cheaper than Swedish steel could make a difference, and we will end up with a nice ride.

Yeah, double sreamer wins it for me because it has that conveyor system. There is actually another tobbogan slide at this crap place near bendigo called Arakoon, its shut down now, but the slide went down a hill and it landed in a muddy dam, it wasnt even painted and the water was supplied by this tap at the top, not a pump like at waterparks.

Inverted coasters and regualr coasters are able to do exactly the same kinds of manouvers so i dont know where you got if from that Inverted coasters have more "track types" ("did you mean track elements") I think both coaster types have their merits, you can get the feeling of your legs being chopped off on an Inverted coaster, but normal coasters can have head choppers. On inverted coasters your legs can dangle freely, but on some normal coasters (premier loopers for example) can have lap bars, giving upper body freedom. They are just completley different rides

Isnt it funny how the ride we are most looking foward to is only a small proportion of the total $102 million spending. Can you please give us some hints on the layout rabid. It gonna have to be good, its number 8 in the line of rocket coasters, so i think they would have had to have fine tuned it to perfection by now, cant wait.

About time too, This is one of few Aussie waterparks, it was waiting to happen. If they can have waterparks where it snows in Europe and the US, it makes we wonder why a hot country like ours cant have one. Good luck to them I say, Im putting this place when it opens on my "To do" list.

I bet in a couple of months it will lead to something like "The wonderland childrens correctional facility" or something like that.

Now, this is what I have been hoping for, the new WnW sounds great, and I will definitley be visiting it. WooHoo, a rocket coaster, finally, a park down here is buying up in the latest technology, I cant wait, please let it have inversions. SWs water park expansion, now theres a bolt from the blue, Id thought they had forgotten about that place. As for WnW, I like the water playground idea, those big tipping buckets are so cool, as for mammoth falls, if they are expanding it we could see a tornado slide like at SFHH. Could this be the start of a theme park war?? I hope so.

Yeah, its also a goner idea because they dont make it anymore. Heres my idea for a inverted coaster layout on the thunderbolt site. The station would be in the south west corner of the site, and the lift would head out along the the southern end of the site, the peak of the lift would be near the edge of the land they own, right near the freeway, then it would go into a u turn first drop and head back toward the park, before entering a vertical loop, and then straight into a zero g roll, then the riders would be whipped into a dive loop and a helix would bring them up into the MCBR, then another helix would bring them out of it before the riders get spun round a wingover, then a couple of intense twists and turns would follow, then another wingover before the track curves into the brakes.

Hmm, i more see an impulse fitting in with SW cos of thier lack of space. I like the floorless idea, but i dont want to see any more ocean or wind themed rides, we have enough already, Id rather just see a new themed area started, to add some variety.

As for the double post, just delete it, go to edit post and then at the top of the screen there is an option to delete your post.

Dont let Richard hear you say that.

Well, at least we know its definitley going to be a steel coaster, its in the park database. Rabid, do you know if this new coaster will be opening in september, or on boxing day. Fingers crossed for September.

Simple, just ride the ride in the editor, and watch the lateral g readouts at the top.

Well, they are ok, but quit with the TTD style rides.

Try the website i posted, its not in english, but you should be able to work it out. Personally i think they should try more of these parks in europe where these events happened and where interest would be higher, rather than in Austraila, where i think it could fail. But hey, a possible new park, im not complaining.

I saw the spyland park on RCDB, and it have to admit it looks pretty cool, at the french one they had a motorbike coaster planned for it and also a caprio i flyer ride (like that perydactly ride at IOA), and if this proposed one had one then that alone would be worth it. By the sounds of it, it will have good theming, and i hope it goes ahead. http://www.spyland.net/
