That article looks a little old!! Especially the $2 a head!! Lol!! When and where was this article published??

sounds like it was published after the track was completed.

Late 1988. I did some epic googling to find it and have since lost the link. You can find it in Google's News Archives.

Wow, I saw this last time I was there. I made jokes about it being a roller coaster, now I know it actually is!

It was published in the Sydney Morning Herald on September 24, 1985. http://news.google.c...pg=4261,6412452

While this topic is active again, did you know that the Orphan Rocker has been immortalised with its own Aussie hip hop song, by Blue Mountain's artist Urthboy? Doesn't tell us anything we didn't know and only mentions it a few times, including the old rumour about the test dummy, but it is named after it... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nN4b41yjZsI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

A small update about Orphan Rocker has been recieved on ScenicWorld's Facebook page. Scenic World Blue Mountains Hey Benjamin and John, we've got our hands full with the redevelopment of the Scenic Railway but the Orphan Rocker is definitely something that we will look at redeveloping in the future!

Benjamin William Roach Cheers for the update. So where does it stand currently? Are the trains in good nick? Track still up to par and whole? Yesterday at 10:56am · Like [*] Scenic World Blue Mountains Hey Benjamin, yes its all still in relatively good nick although but not to standard for operating publicly- no work has been done on it since the 80s.
