the $99 deal was only for web purchases but go to any supermarket up here and you will get the same discount on the back of your receipt most are valid until August sometime... Just hope Dreamworld does something like this in the near future.... though having said that my friend turned up a few days after the web offer ended and said he was trying to book it on the net but it wouldn't work and they just gave it to him anyway .. I don't think they really are bothered either way...

Superman Escape.. Does it normally break down?
billyb67 replied to wakeboardandy's topic in Theme Park Discussion
I went on it at least 40 times in the last week , it was running 2 cars the whole time and never broke down once that I saw.... -
I went on it about 30 times in the last week and found the back seats to be alot smoother than the front for some reason. WHich is the opposite to Superman where the front is the smoothest and the back is rougher as per usual for most coasters. Pretty sure it was the blue car they were running last week. You DO definitely have to keep your head back but you will be very lucky if you can escape Lethal Weapon without bashing your ears at least once.....

cool good to hear from you I guess there isn't alot of new pics to put up since it is all down to huge piles of rubble now I am sorry I don't have any pics to contribute, In the million or so times I went there between 1987-1995 I don't think I ever once took a camera, I just never thought about capturing it, as we all thought it would always be there ... anyway looking forward to the next update and maybe organize a time and day for a chat in the chat room when its up and running thanks for all your work - it is greatly appreciated ! oh and did anyone ever make a rollercoaster tycoon wonderland ?

I wonder if the roads through the new business park will be be made up of this material ? We could be driving right over Wonderland soon enough if it is used...

You forgot the best one of them all ! Portaventura ! http://www.portaventura.es/home.asp?pIdi=uk Dragon Khan is without a doubt the best coaster I have been on ever ! Though I haven't been on more than about 20 - it is a great coaster ! The only coaster on earth with 8 loops (well so they say anyway)
-
any chance of still getting a hold of this ?
-
If anyone has one I am definitely interested in it ! I was thinking about making one but it will take alot of time and if anyone has put in the legwork it could save me months ! thanks
-
I would definitely be interested in seeing Wonderland on rollercoaster tycoon ! is it completed yet ?

well welcome to me wonderland_sydney I have spent the last 4 days staring at your site ! congratulations to you and everyone who contributed to it. I have read just about everything about the closing of Wonderland and its treatment during the sunway years , very sad indeed I was overseas from 1998 until 2004 and I returned to sydney on April 28th !!! I was so sad I missed the closing but like i said - after reading about how much it had gone downhill especially in the last year of its life , I am sort of glad I did not go and see it like that . I went there sometime before the official opening day. It was for the media and my pop worked for the sun-mercury paper in sydney so we all went for the day. All food was free which was great for me hahaha I went on every ride than was there at the start, and even managed to convince my then 60 year old pop to go on the bush beast with me. My pop died not too long after (maybe a year) so the pictures of it all coming down are just so sad to me. and I am pretty sure the Bush Beast had nothing to do with his dying ! anyway I listened to the music on your page, is that from the sunway years because I don't remember hearing that crappy dance music from 85-95 or so .... I had met Kevin many a time as well , I was there alot but not as much as him !@ and I never kept track of the number of times I went on the rides though ... I remember when the titan turned up at wonderland. at expo 88 i had all day passes and went on titan about 50 times over 3 or 4 days and i was pretty happy to see it arrive aty wonderland even though it was "old news" to me... Supernova was another great coaster that they had at expo, it was nearly all underground in this huge building and it was cool ! I hope the roads are open soon and I can go and drive through the place. I was out there in about JUne and everything as far as I could se was still standing and then I saw all the demolition pics on your site which though VERY interesting are so sad... I just can't believe that it is all gone now... anyway I dont have any pics for you , I never wanted to be bothered carrying cameras when I was there , I have found one pic of me and my mate on the bush beast from the photo hut and will get that scanned at some point I never bought them, just always looked at the stupid things we did when we knew the camera was there , but I am glad I bought one at least fopr the memories ! anyway I am sure I have many more memories to share - jog my memory again congratulations on the site ! oh and the webchat doesn't seem to work ... cya bb
