I dont think that they would put one in, Perth is too small to back the costs and there probably wouldnt be enough space to put in a decent RMC.

Many people said that Western Sydney was too small a market to back two wooden coasters and a massive theme park - but they built it anyway, and survived almost 20 years.

I think AW has the right leadership that they could potentially make perth a destination for park lovers - and likely attract some competition too...

Geez the plant grownth on top of the DW river looks terrible atm. Overheard two teens sitting behind us on the train today trying to work out if it was grass or water! It certainly could pass as grass, its so thick you cant see anything underneath it ?

I'd love AW to get one

Well the Texas giant roller coaster at six flags over Texas costed about 10 million US dollars.

Yeah, I think if you got rid of the Grand Prix raceway at Adventure World you'd have a nice piece of flat land for a coaster.

thats not out of the realms based on abyss at 12 mill and the new waterslide at 7 mill. (though can they keep spending such large sums?)

i would love a coaster like that at AW - i grew up with Bush Beast and the Beastie at Wonderland 

Add a large wooden coaster to adventure world and you've got the best park in australia (IMO)

Doesn't look like the ideal experience

I would actually prefer a Gravity Group woodie at Adventure World.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is now available for iPhones and iPads

It didn't have IPhone 5c on the specification list.  Do you think it'll still work?  I run iOS 8.4

[zacsta_1997]

Tried downloading it. It won't work. The app isn't comparable with my device. I'm so angry. The 5c is fairly recent, now they don't want to accomodate new apps with anything lower than 5s. I'm very annoyed right now!!

[AUSTHEMEPARKS]

How much is it? Edit: Nevermind!

Well I won't bother with my iP4 then after reading that. Hopefully they bring it to Android devices.

Park guest was killed at Cedar Point today, after entering the restricted area to retrieve a lost loose article and was subsequently struck by the Raptor train.

And then you wonder why the 'do not pass' signs were there...

According to King Carnival's Facebook page they are installing a 35 foot drop tower. I imagine it's probably similar to the Coney Drop at LPM. Probably a good use of space at such a small park that pretty much has Tweens as its target market.

I think we had Ken working on the TOTII today... got an epic custom launch experience, hahaha. Check it out

PS. Turns out it wasn't Ken, but a top bloke named Jason. Just as entertaining. Gotta love enthusiastic staff, adds that extra bit of enjoyment to one's day ?

Haven't really seen much about it, so I thought I'd share some of the information regarding new attractions revealed at D23 this year.

• Some information and art for the Iron Man Experience in Hong Kong
• "Soarin' over the world" announced for California Adventure and EPCOT
• Star Wars lands announced for Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios
• Jungle Cruise themed restaurant to open in Magic Kingdom
• More details about AVATAR land have emerged
• A look at Shanghai Disneyland, including the new high-tech Pirates of the Caribbean
• Toy Story Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios
• "Magic Kingdoms", a mobile theme park sim based around Disney parks is coming to iOS and Android
• Artwork and details on the expanded Norway pavilion for EPCOT

I would've quoted and pasted a lot of the information here, but there's just too much. I'm excited! Too bad Disney isn't so timely on their projects but you can't rush quality.

"Dismaland" art-amusement park installation by Banksy.  A bit creepy!

When you look at Disney Hollywood Studios they seem to be following the same path as Movie World, instead of just showing you behind the scene of movies they're want to take you into the movies themselves.

Would seem you can still buy coke at Dreamworld.
